Did you miss the post about the bombing of the U.N.? They were responsible for the majority of humanitarian aid in Gaza, but now Israel has succeeded in rendering them unable to help the citizens of Gaza. I KNOW - it must be that all those refugees were known terrorists! And anyone in Gaza must SOMEHOW be related to, or know, a militant, and thus deserve to die - be it by military means, starvation, lack of access to medical care, whatever it takes. They are justified in their inhumanity, simply because they are Israel.
The fact that the IRC, the EU and the UN are condemning Israel should mean something.
And if you want reports from others than the UN and Palestinians, let the reporters in . Unless they have something to hide . . .
eta - there has to be a negotiated truce that can hold. But both sides will have to concede on some issues, and I don't see that happening. Hope I'm wrong. Hamas will have to cede Israel the right to exist, and Israel will have to allow Gaza their autonomy and control of their borders.
