The world looking on at this horror should feel relieved at Israel´s benevolence - three hours of respite starting from today to allow aid to pass through to the people of Gaza!! This, added to their insistence that compared to other countries defending their borders, they´ve reduced civilian deaths and are specifically targetting Hamas!! Nevermind the latest figures from their 11 day offensive - 650 dead and about 3,000! wounded. Yesterday alone - January 6th, 80 people died. They have targetted people in UN schools - were there rockets there?
Where are the leaders, the Security Council, the Arab world - Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia?? Turkish PM has done well to condemn the Israeli attacks as crimes against humanity! How many more will die before a ceasefire is declared? Israel says it wants to weaken Hamas and so, prevent the firing of more rockets. With the blockade of more than 18 months, even during the time of a truce, and the growing number of losses, will Palestinians resign themselves to this injustice?
