The longer Israel keeps bombing the people of Gaza.....destroying their infrastructure, their homes and all possibility of anything like a livlihood..........the less credible any of these arguments are.
We might be tempted to forget.....in all this genocidal bombing of a civilian population.........that these are the indigenous people of Palestine, and that they have been suffering a state of violent apartheid for over 70 years. We might forget over 4000 Palestinians languish in Israeli prisons, some of them as young as 14 and many of them imprisoned without charge.
We might overlook the deaths of Palestinians in the West Bank, where there is no Hamas, but lots of Israeli settlers coveting Palestinian property. We might be tempted to forget what some of us have only recently learned...THAT IT IS HUMANITARIAN AID THAT HAS KEPT GAZA FED AND CARED FOR OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS....
And we might be willing to forget how fuel, food and water has been denied....how disease is spreading now among the victims of Israeli's search for 'terrorists'. Perhaps the 40 journalists killed in this short war against terrorism aren't that important.........and the news blackouts just coincidental...
But I'm not as good at forgetting as some. Too much university training to blame for that I guess...
and what I can't forget adds up.
This Ex Israeli PM can speculate all he wants, justify and excuse all he wants....and promise any kind of pie in the sky that he wants. I don't think there's a peace of any kind in the forseeable future.
I suspect Israel does want Gaza..........plow it, fertilize it, and farm it. That's the picture I see in my nightmares.....once the Israeli government has pushed the original inhabitants into the Sinai...or talked some country like Canada into taking them......termporary farm workers will farm it for the Israelis.
