This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Excellent video-- thanks! it illustrates the situation quite clearly. (btw, I just blogged an article about Hamas' use of human shields-- when I get a chance I will add a link to this video).

A very informative - and disturbing - video. Excellent exposition of Hamas' abuse of civilians and civilian structures.

It was related...you just chose to ignore it...but anyway it is in other seeds where it will not be deleted....censored, by Zionist propagandists. That is the difference between me and others...I never censor others comments.

Well, you should. By not deleting comments that are violations of the COH-- you yourself are violating the COH! (Perhaps you forgot, but NV users are required to mdoerate their own columns-- including deleting comments that violate the COH).

Anyway-- I think we should ignore Eric's not so subtle attempts to derail the conversation-- and get back on topic. Here's a related video that quite clearly illustrates Hamas' strategy of using human shielsds-- firing mortars from a school!-- in hopes of provoking an Israel counter-attack and more collateral damage-- more dead Palestinian civilians-- being, in Hamas' perverted minds-- another proaganda victory.
