Gaza is bleeding

The Israelis say they are doing what any nation state will do - protect itself from attacks. they were provoked, Hamas refused to renew the truce, rockets keep destroying the peace.. never mind they are home-made, flimsy and hardly do any harm. But no, I can´t defend or justify these attacks. Wait, but i just read from Gwyn Dyer that of course, the targets of these rockets were once the homes of the Palestinians - before the existence of Israel in 1948. They can´t go back there, Israel refuses to let in refugees. It´s imposed a blockade on Gaza - one of the reasons Hamas justifies it´s attacks - both sides want protection, both sides want to survive but one side has more might and is showing it.. and what about the neighbours: Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria? Oh right, they cancelled their end of the year parties to show solidarity with the dead, wounded, suffering, bleeding Gazans.

What does Israel hope to achieve? "Create a new reality" : of course, one with more hatred, vengeance, blood, wounds and scars that will be remembered for generations. How is it achieving this new reality? : Rooting out terror, house to house, killing entire families, wounding so many children who already have hate and vengeance in their eyes, hearts, limbs. Root out terrorism.. only to see it mutate into another form, even more resilient and resistant.

For how long? Israelis and Palestinians might want to know.. or maybe they´ve grown used to this reality whihc is a non-reality, their children have grown up learning that the other is the enemy. that´s why many flock back to Gaza when the border is opened up. it doesn´t matter that there´s a war going on, no. they want to be with their families, close to them.
Will Israel life its blockade on Gaza? Will Hamas stiffle its wounded pride and concede to some kind of agreement?
How long will Israel continue its offensive? Are the people in the South safer from rocket attacks now? Are they safer from suicide bombers? Gaza continues to receive drops of aid, medicine, food. it´s breathing still, wounded, demoralised but relentless...
