Fair play to the wall-breakers who got supplies to Palestine with no apparent casualties.
It's a great shame the Israeli moderates & peacemakers aren't heard & that the Israeli 'hawks' are seen as representative of 'the Jews'.
The US backed Fatah party of Mahmoud Abbas is admitting their Israeli allies have made a terrible mistake in blocking the borders.
"To be honest, what the Israelis did with blocking the borders gave a boost to Hamas," said Walid Awad, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, a leader of the rival Fatah party that governs the West Bank. "It was a strategic mistake."
Abbas and Fatah only represent themselves and the interests of their backers in the US, EU and Israel. Hamas are a popular resistance movement and as such cannot be defeated as long as the will of the people is undefeated.
Israel, by it's attempt to inflict massive hurt by the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, hopes to break the will of the Palestinian people. As long as the Palestinian people keep getting support from outside, their resistance will be made easier.
We should not be diverted from opposition to the sectarian Israeli state by heeding American ruses against Iran or whoever.
Thanks for those incredible images Michael.
Bring them on!
I rather suspect that events have played exactly into the Israeli government's hands.
Having withdrawn FROM Gaza, all that remained to do was to give up control of Gaza's border with the outside world. But some hardliners in Israel don't want that to happen and would have extracted a political price if the ruling coaliton did that by posiitve action. Here all they had to do is stand back and have their forces not contest the Gazan breakout.
Fine -- now they are tenchically not in any way, shape or form "occupiers" of Gaza. Up to the rest of the world to supply the civilian population of Gaza if it cares to. An OCCUPIER is required to support the occupied civilian population; a neighbor is not (we are talking about LEGAL obligation, not MORAL obligation). Also the rules of war quite different. An occupier is supposed to take great pains to prevent collateral civilian casualties than the rules of "regular" war require. When not an occupier, what counts as a "civilian position" depends upon whether fire is coming from that position, not whether civilians are present.
It really will be much easier for Israel this way. They don't need "peace" along their border with Gaza. They'll easily win any fire fights or artillery duels.
Why are you supporting that Geordie wifebeater?
