Peace in Gaza?
Alastair Crooke, The Guardian | January 19, 2009
After 22 days of conflict in Gaza the much desired ceasefire has been reached. ++ In no way, however, does this ceasefire preface peace, as the core sources of the problem have not been addressed: Hamas is still dominant in Gaza and the various crossings are still barred. ++ Indeed, this conflict may give birth to more fighting as it has upset power relations among Middle Eastern states. ++ Israel’s unrestrained use of force may also exasperate the religious dimension of the conflict -- the struggle of the Muslim people against Israel.

If other nationalities can face war crimes, why not Israel. Its now the duty of United Nations and all the nations especially the europeans to see the crime is punished in the name of human dignity.
