One Year on From Cast Lead

One year on from Israel’s pre-planned and illegal attack on Gaza that lead to the deaths of over 1,400 Palestinians as if any proof were needed of the evils of Zionism, Israel continues to try and murder people, unchallenged and untroubled by her sponsors in the West. The UN subsequently found Israel guilty of war crimes. Here we see that Israel failed to kill a leader of Hamas in Beirut on recently. It did murder six Palestinians in contravention of international law however. To ensure a humanitarian catastrophe however the Israelis have colluded with the Egyptian cronies to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza and provoking a hunger strike amongst the peace activists. Ben White’s excellent analysis of events is well worth reading.
