As I've said several times, Gaza is hell on earth. For years, Gazans have been protesting the conditions under which they exist. One man killed an Israeli soldier last week. This week Israel carried out "wide-scale" airstrikes across Gaza.
The Israeli military is one cog in Israel's attempt to destroy Gaza. Israel has announced stringent new import rules for the territory's main cargo crossing. Under these rules only food, medicine, and "humanitarian equipment" can come through the entry point. Not only will these rules affect imports, it will also affect Gaza's exports, further straining an already crippled economy brought to its knees by the 12-year blockade. And in another blow against the Palestinians the Israeli legislature
approved a bill this week that enshrines "apartheid into law" and makes the 1.8 million Arabs living in Israel second-class citizens.
