Israel attacks in Gaza---again

Posted: Jun 9, 2015

In a very sad way this reminds me of the older brother smacking the younger brother for the younger touching him first. (TFC) Gaza, Occupied Territories — After weeks of provocation, one of the Palestinian resistance groups launched a solitary rocket into Israeli territory. The attack injured no one. Israel responded by launching a series of attacks from American-made F-16 fighters on military and civilian targets in Gaza. The Israeli Defense Force has stated that it will hold Hamas responsible for the attacks, even though their intelligence, Israeli news, and our reports say that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad was behind the attack. The collective punishment is a clear violation of international law. The Israelis have trapped the Palestinians in Gaza and are, once again, firing rockets into Gaza. There have been several incidents of hit and run accidents involving children in the past weeks. There have been more homes destroyed for "building projects." Nothing has changed, we just aren't paying attention---again. ;
