McClatchy's Shashank Bengali is in town to help cover the unfolding conflict and spent some time with Israel's armchair military strategists, the guys who gather on the Israeli hillsides outside Gaza, pull out their binoculars, drink their sodas and critique their military's strikes.
Shashank then put in a call to Ashraf El-Masri, a Palestinian taxi driver who is on the receiving end of the Israeli strikes these guys are watching from the distant hillside.
"The scenes were separated by less than two miles," Shashank writes. "But they illustrated the dramatically different perspectives on Israel's ground incursion into the Gaza Strip on its second full day."
