Defensive action

First there was the bombing and then artillery fire.

Just under 500 Palestinian fatalities up to now, a conservative estimate of 2500 wounded with virtually no medicines or medical supplies left. Food and water situation is critical.
Despite many efforts, no cease fire and no humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza.

Today, the Israeli tanks and ground troops entered Gaza. They say, it's going to be a long campaign.

All over the world, many demonstrations that are underreported or totally left out of news reports. Governments are silent and when they say anything it's a whisper.
It feels like Lebanon all over again. There is so much outrage. So much.


It's being called a defensive action on the part of Israel in so many places.
Including the new EU chairman. He speaks for us all, it seems.
Defensive - Orwell would be proud.

I don't understand how governments can just stand by and do nothing.
What's the use of all our human rights agreements, pretty treaties, the UN...

This is a terrible injustice.
I don't understand how people can think this won't ever have repercussions.
