"It is not enough to reach a cease-fire and keep intact an intolerable situation -
The siege of Gaza must be lifted and inhabitants of Gaza must get free access to the outside world and a new hope for the future." Published in Ha’aretz, July 18, 2014

Previous Israeli military operations in Gaza / Prévias operações militares israelenses em Gaza:
November 2012: Pillar of Defense
December 2008 - January 2009: Cast Lead
February 2008: Hot Winter
June 2006: Summer Rains
February 2006: Lightning Strike
September 2005: First Rain
October 2004: Days of Penitence
From one operation to another, Hamas has not been defeated and the range of their rockets has increased.
During “Cast Lead”, rockets hit areas within a radius of 40 km from the border. During “Pillar of Defense”, Grad rockets hit Tel Aviv, and during “Protective Edge”, rockets have hit the Haifa area. That’s what Israel’s and USA's “military deterrence” vis-a-vis Hamas looks like.
"What both Israel and the US governments really aim is to destroy and kill, hoping to make us kneel and submit to the occupation like lambs. It won't happen. It's our land," said a young Palestinian who has just lost his father.
No fim de cada operação dessas houve uma trégua negociada pelos Estados Unidos na qual o status quo permaneceu e Israel saiu como vítima, apesar de ser o ocupante e ter provocado o caos.

Em vez de continuar as negociações bilaterais para um cessar-fogo, Israel aproveitou a "distração" do avião da Malásia derrubado na Ucrânia para começar a invasão terrestre da Faixa de Gaza na madrugada do dia 18 de julho.
As tropas penetraram no território com tanques e "cruéis" (apelido carinhoso de seus veículos armados) com apoio das forças aéreas e navais.
Antes disso, cortaram a eletricidade e o suprimento de água. Centenas de milhares dos 1 milhão e 800 mil gazauís estão sem água e daqui a pouco a população inteira estará sem água até para beber.
333 gazauís já foram assassinados. A maioria absoluta de civis.
A limpeza étnica foi acelerada. E o mundo, de braços cruzados.
Instead of pursuing negotiations leading to a cease-fire, Israeli tanks and troops have entered Gaza during the night after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a ground invasion, a major escalation in a ten-day offensive that has already killed more than 260 Palestinians. Including 45 children.

DN: Israel quer aniquilar a perspectiva de paz (VOST français)
Threre are heavy bombing from jets, warships and artillery stationed along the border late on Thursday, with much of the firing directed at northern Gaza.
Electricity was cut off across a large swathe of the strip.
Diana Buttu, a former legal advisor during Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, said: "I think it's high time that the Palestinian Authority go and sign on to the International Criminal Court and start charging Israel with war crimes. This isn't the first time this has happened."
"They [Israel] shouldn't be allowed to behave like they are above the law, and treat Palestinians like they are beneath it."
More than 2.000 Palestinians are seriously injured.
Two Israelis have been killed. One civilian by rocket fire near Gaza. One soldier inside Gaza.
According to International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), hundreds of thousands of people are now without running water, and within days, the entire Gaza population "will desperately run short of water resources".

Channel 4 - Londres: Jon Snow, on the ground invasion
"Stop the killing and destruction! Cease the fire, lift the siege, move towards peace!
It is forbidden to shoot at civilian populations. It is forbidden and still it happens. Both sides do it. Hamas shoots on the population of Israel. The IDF shoots at the population of Gaza.
Two equal sides? Far from it.
The State of Israel has enormous military and economic strength. With massive financial assistance from the United States, the State of Israel built the "Iron Dome" system, a great technological achievement which protects us. Therefore, the missile attacks on Israeli cities are mostly a nuisance. The air raid alarms are irritating, a bit disruptive to the routine of life, sometimes frightening – but not much more.
Gazans have no Iron Dome, no protection whatsoever against the death which falls down on them from the air and the sea and the land. The State of Israel is pounding Gaza, killing and killing and killing. True - The State of Israel has no premeditated purpose of killing innocent civilians, women and men and the elderly and children playing football on the beach. There is no premeditated purpose – but there is a reality. The killing of unarmed civilians in Gaza is going on, day by day and hour by hour. More than two hundred Palestinians have been killed. A large part of them were unarmed civilians, dozens of them were children. And it goes on.
"Why are they shooting at us?" Wondered righteously the outgoing President of Israel, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. "Why did they not make of Gaza a flourishing Singapore?".
But Shimon Peres forgot to mention that the city state of Singapore, whose population and size are comparable to those of the Gaza Strip, has one of the largest ports in the world.
There is no one to block thousands of ships from all over world sailing in and out of that port, maintain the flow of trade on which the wealth of Singapore is built. The minuscule port of Gaza is closed and blockaded. The Israeli Navy is ever vigilant to prevent even the smallest vessels from reaching it, and shoots at Gazan fishing boats which venture more than a few kilometers from shore.
Gaza is a big prison for its residents, nearly two millions of them. The State of Israel and its neighbor Egypt – with whom relationship has tightened considerably since General Sisi seized power - cooperate in imposing the siege on Gaza and holding its population effectively incarcerated, unable to come and go to the outside world. Gazas live on a seashore. They can swim and play on the beach (on days where lethal shots don’t come at them out of the sea). But they can’t get on a boat and sail into the sea, nor on a plane flying to any destination anywhere in the world. Also the land crossings are almost completely closed. For years, millions of people are locked up in the little, narrow and extremely crowded piece of land called the Gaza Strip.
"We imposed a siege on them because they are shooting at us," say the leaders of Israel. (By the way, the siege on Gaza began long before Hamas took power there).
"We shoot because you impose a siege on us. We will not agree to a cease-fire which does not include the lifting of the siege," say Gaza residents this week (not all of them Hamas members).
There is no point to a ceasefire which would simply restore the situation that existed two weeks ago. The situation of two weeks ago was unbearable - a situation of a tight siege over the Gaza Strip, causing suffering and economic suffocation and extreme poverty for the majority of its inhabitants. The siege of Gaza has spawned several rounds of conflict. Continuation of the siege is a sure recipe for another round in a year or two.
Only the lifting of the siege on Gaza, enabling its residents to come and go by land and sea and air, export and import goods and develop their economy, can open up for them a hope for the future. Only the lifting of the siege can give a chance for peace and quiet on Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.
On Saturday night Gush Shalom will join with peace and human rights organizations in a protest against the cruel and unnecessary war called "Operation Protective Edge". Last week, an earlier demonstration on the same location was attacked by extreme right thugs. Organizers of the current protest have taken precautions to make sure this is not repeated - and of course, what happened will not deter us from expressing our position on an issue vital to our future.
As we were informed, demonstration marshals and stewards will be present on the spot, and anyone intending to come should follow their instructions regarding location, conduct of the demonstration and its dispersal, and refrain from taking any violent action from our side."
Stop the killing and destruction!
Cease the fire, lift the siege, move towards peace!

Democracy Now: Why did NBC pull veteran reporter from Gaza?
Antes da invasão terrestre, havia mais de 2 mil gazauís com ferimentos graves. Muitos meninos e mulheres. Ferimentos "leves", milhares. E mais de 120 mil desalojados. Agora, o caos reina de Norte a Sul na Faixa. As famílias estão ao Deus dará, sem saber para onde ir, sem saber como abrigar-se. O bebê ao lado, Moui al-Araj, foi morto pelo míssil de um F16, no dia 13 de julho, antes da Operação oficial começar. Em uma das incurções habituais da IDF no presídio Gaza que vive com drones armados circulando noite e dia no ar para intimidar a população e mostrar que não há para onde nem como escapar. Que o ocupante está atento aos mínimos movimentos. Que pode atacar e matar quando, como, e quem quiser, inclusive dentro de casa, no calar da madrugada, para pegar as crianças dormindo e dizimá-las.
Norman Finkelstein: The truth about Hamas / A verdade sobre o Hamas
The experts disagree. The UN’s top human rights official, Navi Pillay, has said the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza raises “serious doubt… whether the Israeli strikes have been in accordance with international humanitarian law”. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have gone further, urging the hapless president, Mahmoud Abbas, to make the Palestinian Authority join the International Criminal Court and bring war crimes charges against Israel.
For its many supporters in the west, Israel is being unfairly singled out for criticism. As the country’s former foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami angrily said to me in an interview for al-Jazeera English in 2013: “You are trying to turn Israel into a special case.”
According to the likes of Ben-Ami, there are much more vile regimes, and more violent groups, elsewhere in the world. Why pick on plucky Israel? What about the Chinas, Russias, Syrias, Saudi Arabias, Irans, Sudans and Burmas? Where are the protests against Isis, Boko Haram or the Pakistani Taliban?
There are various possible responses to such attempts at deflection. First, does Israel really want to be held to the standards of the world’s worst countries? Doesn’t Israel claim to be a liberal democracy, the “only” one in the Middle East?
Second, isn’t this “whataboutery” of the worst sort? David Cameron told those of us who opposed the Nato intervention in Libya in 2011: “The fact that you cannot do the right thing everywhere does not mean that you should not do the right thing somewhere.” Well, quite. And the same surely applies to criticism of Israel – that we cannot, or do not, denounce every other human-rights-abusing regime on earth doesn’t automatically mean we are therefore prohibited from speaking out against Israel’s abuses in Gaza and the West Bank. (Nor, for that matter, does the presence of a small minority among the Jewish state’s critics who are undoubtedly card-carrying anti-Semites.)
Trying to hide Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians behind, say, Syria’s barrel bombs, China’s forced labour camps or Russia’s persecution of gays won’t wash. After all, on what grounds did we “single out” apartheid South Africa in the 1980s for condemnation and boycott? Weren’t there other, more dictatorial regimes in Africa at the time, those run by black Africans such as Mengistu in Ethiopia or Mobutu in Zaire? Did we dare excuse the crimes of white Afrikaners on this basis?
Taking a moral stand inevitably requires us to be selective, specific and, yes, even inconsistent. “Some forms of injustice bother [people] more than others,” wrote Peter Beinart, the author of The Crisis of Zionism, in December 2013. “The roots of this inconsistency may be irrational, even disturbing, but it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t act against the abuses they care about most.”
Third, Israel is “singled out” today, but by its friends and not just by its enemies. It has been singled out for unparalleled support – financial, military, diplomatic – by the western powers. It is indeed, to quote Ben-Ami, a “special case”.
Which other country is in receipt of $3billion a year in US aid, despite maintaining a 47-year military occupation in violation of international law? Which other country has been allowed to develop and stockpile nuclear weapons in secret?
Which other country’s prime minister could “humiliate” – to quote the newspaper Ma’ariv – a sitting US vice-president on his visit to Israel in March 2010, yet still receive 29 standing ovations from Congress on his own visit to the US a year later? And which other country is the beneficiary of comically one-sided resolutions on Capitol Hill, in which members of Congress fall over each other to declare their undying love and support for Israel – by 410 to eight, or 352 to 21, or 390 to five?
Indeed, which other country has been protected from UN Security Council censure by the US deployment of an astonishing 42 vetoes? For the record, the number of US vetoes exercised at the UN on behalf of Israel is greater than the number of vetoes exercised by all other UN member states on all other issues put together. Singling out, anyone?
Fourth, the inconvenient truth is that we in the west can happily decry the likes of, say, Assad or Ayatollah Khamenei yet we can do little to influence their actual behaviour. Have sanctions stopped Assad’s killing machine? Or Iran’s nuclear programme? In contrast, we have plenty of leverage over Israel – from trade deals to arms sales to votes at the UN. Israel is our special friend, our close ally.
Yet when Israel started bombing Gaza this month, claiming it was acting in response to incoming rocket fire and was trying to kill Hamas operatives, Cameron merely “reiterated the UK’s staunch support for Israel” and “underlined Israel’s right to defend itself”. And the hundreds of Palestinian dead? Didn’t they have a right to self- defence? There was not a word from our PM. This, ultimately, is the fundamental difference when it comes to comparing Israel’s abuses with those of other “rogue” nations. We single out Israel because, shamefully, we are complicit in its crimes."

A Jewish Voice of Sanity : To ask for support for the Israeli soldiers who are engaged in such death and destruction is an abomination. The home of the Al Abadlla family in Khan Younis until it was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on July 8th 2014. Photo by Mohammed Saber / EPA. And Mahmoud Abbas, and the West Bank? People keep asking me. Well, Hamas and PLO organizations agree that Israel is working to twart the reconciliation government. But this consensus has not brought Ramallah to Hamas and to Gaza. On the contrary, some in the PLO say Mahmoud Abbas should have gone to Gaza when the conflict began rather than making do with symbolic promises of future action. Going to Gaza under fire isn't his style. His behaviour earned him more black marks. On the 14th he ordered some of his ministers to Gaza. The health minister in the reconciliation government did go, during a break in the Israeli air raids, but his car was pelted with several small objects that showed Gazauis' rejection to Ramallah's passivity. The welcome was denounced by Moussa Abu marzouk, a senior Hamas official who lives in Egypt, not by Gaza Hamas figures. The minister in question left after an hour. While Gaza is bleeding, there is an illusory calm in the West Bank. Every night young men clash with the IDF in refugee camps and villages. Israel continues to arrest Hamas policital figures, including 12 MPs. A big rally was planned in Ramallah on the 16th in support of Gaza. It was crushed before it began. Nevertheles, they wil try and try again. The attriction in Gaza is increasing the shame and frustration in the West Bank over the ineffectivenness of Abu Mazen's (lack of) leadership.
