Re: ISRAEL POUNDS GAZA During Truce Hours 01/09/09
Of course they are ignoring truces, it makes sense. They can blame it on "mistakes", "miscommunications", or even "rogue elements" in their own forces. What it does is shut down any aid coming into the area. And if you make life miserable enough for any group of people. They will turn on each other to survive. That is a fact. The Gaza Strip was already heavily, heavily dependent on aid being trucked in. Why waste your own resources when you can get the enemy to start tearing itself apart? People can beat their chests about right, and wrong. We can debate honorable, and despicable until the world ends. This is not about over-reaction. Any military force in the world (including the USA, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, etc.) would use somewhat similiar tactics in the same situation.
