Koskidz still supporting Hamas…
The aggression continues; over 400 dead

As the Israeli blitz entered its sixth day, Hamas again indicated that it would accept a ceasefire so long as the illegal blockade is lifted. Israel responded by killing a senior Hamas official along with his wife and children, continuing its attacks on the governing infrastructure in Gaza and bombing a school, killing 10.

As even the hawkish, right-wing Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Centre concedes [.pdf], before November 4 Hamas “was careful to maintain the ceasefire”. This despite the fact that the blockade remained intact and thus, as Amnesty International observes, “Gaza residents experienced little or no improvement to their lives”.

Rather, Israel refuses to end the siege because it remains bent on reversing the results of the 2006 elections, punishing Palestinians for voting the ‘wrong’ way and thwarting a dreaded Hamas ‘peace offensive’.

heh.
