I went to bed last night, comforted by the fact that a Ceasefire was to be called at 12:00 last night. However this morning I rose and switched on the News and what I saw annoyed me to a rather deep level.
This "ceasefire" seems to me to be no more than a tatic of war, and propagandha. The "terms" of the cease of bombing in Gaza are set out in such a way that Hamas can not stop fighting, and thus world view will hopefully change to support the Israeli action in Gaza.
"Today from 2 O'Clock this evening, we will stop are action in Gaza, and we will continue to maintain our postion there. Hamas is not part of the arrangements we have made. The Terror group Hamas can not be part of these arrangements " - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
That statement clearly goes against the two terms that Hamas wanted, and disregards Palestine, and the Plaestinian people as non entities. Hamas are legally elected, and the seige on Gaza forced them to fight for their country. If you choke a man hard enough, he will fight back with everything he has. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the Rockets into southern Israel, but the people of Palestine were so desperate that they elected an extreme group. But that is going off topic.
My point here is by disregarding the terms Hamas asked for, they are leaving Hamas with no other option but to continue their fighting. Hamas have called a ceasefire in the strip however, despite this obvious farce. However this Hamas statement makes clear to me that violence will return within a week.
"In the Name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. This is a statement in the name of the Palestinian resistance factions.
The Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip which has gone on for more than three weeks has failed, and with God's blessing it failed to impose its conditions on the resistance and on our people.
We, the Palestinian resistance factions announce a ceasefire of our factions in the Gaza Strip and we stress that our demand is the withdrawal of the enemy forces from the Gaza Strip within a week, along with the opening of all the crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid, food and other necessities for our people in the Gaza Strip." - Hamas Statement
Until Israeli soldiers pull out of the Gaza strip, they know as well as I do, the violencewill not end. They are tempting fate, putting peoples lives on the line and are doing it quite deliberately.
So I urge any readers to continue, or to start, boycotting Israel. If not indefinitely, then at least until the Gaza strip is freed from the illegal preseance of Israeli Soldiers and tanks. Over 1,200 people are dead. Over 40 of those people are Women and Children. 86% of them all have been civilians.
Support Peace, Boycott Israel!
God Bless
Peace
