Israeli Attack on Gaza: 2014 Version

[Peter Lemkin]

Well, looks like the ceasefire is over already. Was supposed to be for 72 hours. To bury the dead, get some food. Israel did a mass bombing in the few hours before the ceasefire took effect. It seems only to have been quiet for an hour or so and now Israel is back to bombing. They claim Hamas shot a rocket but no evidence. 34 dead they say.

Middle-East experts are beginning to talk now of 'all hell breaking out' regionally - and this spreading far wider than just between Gaza and the IDF.....of course this means many more innocent dead and many more nations involved. With the few hours of calm before the IDF started bombing again, some Al Jazeera crew got in to one entire neighborhood of Shujayea that looked like Berlin after the War....nothing standing and bodies lying around still. This is what the IDF calls their benign and pinpoint targeting?! I guess they consider any place and anyone in Gaza or the West Bank a valid target.....babies included.

As a side note, it is modestly encouraging to hear that even the dumbed-down and propagandized Americans are more and more starting to criticize what Israel is doing to the Palestinians now. Of course the American political elites and weapons makers will never criticize Israel and its policies.

Two addendum: An Israeli soldier WAS taken prisoner!...and now Israel is bombing Rafa and the central business district [markets full of unwarned persons] in Gaza City. Some cease-fire; this is the most intensive fighting in Gaza EVER!
