Al Jezeera reported, "Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister, has announced a unilateral truce in the Gaza Strip." This will stop a 22-day offensive on the people of Gaza. More than 1,200 Palestinians are dead, more than 400 of them children. Lets repeat that again, 400 CHILDREN have died because of Israel's war on Gaza. Olmert said, "We have reached all the goals of the war, and beyond." How can killing more than 400 children be a goal?
Before the ceasefire a Palestinian doctor, from Gaza, working in Israel learned that three of his daughters were killed in an Israeli attack. Al Jazeera's Roza Ibragimova reported on the doctor's tragedy caught on Israeli TV. "Palestinian doctor Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish was giving Israel's Channel 10 his daily account from inside the war zone in Gaza when three of his daughters were killed in an Israeli attack. In his report, he called for help as his house was attacked." (Caution, this video is really difficult to watch, but necessary to understand.)
I can't begin to understand the pain this man has endured. And for what? So Israel can feel "safe" by having bombed Gaza into submission? So the people in Gaza are completely without hope? I hope the world will investigate Israel's actions for war crimes. I believe they have committed a great atrocity by killing so many innocent people and children.
