after 22 days of death and destruction...

... Israel finally announces a ceasefire... they say they have "achieved their goal"... so their 'goal' must have been the MURDER of over 1200 Palestinians - and of course the destruction of infrastructure and resources for the surviving civilian population ...

according to the New York Times ...

"The announcement came on a day in which Israel was again criticized by the United Nations over civilian deaths in Gaza — this time after a tank fired at a United Nations school, killing two young brothers taking shelter there.

United Nations aid officials raised questions about whether the attack, and others like it, should be investigated as war crimes. The Israeli Army said that it was investigating the reports at the highest level but that initial inquiries indicated that troops were returning fire from near or within the school."

It's about time the international community stopped being apologists for israel; where america and the united nations (United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine or United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) stopped backing them to the hilt and started treating them as what they are - war criminals intent on genocide (perpetrating their own holocaust against the Palestinians!!!) where's the International Court and Security Council in all of this??? oops, forgot... part of the united nations which means dominated by america!!!! who really don't give a damn... or will they now that 'new blood' is in the white house???? I'm skeptical...

Just had to do another quick post in support of the Palestinian people... now I'm going to think about getting ready for work this afternoon... working with Katherine so I know it's going to be a good shift!!!!

Tomorrow I'm off to the hospital (at 7.30 am!!!) with me mum to find out results of tests she had last week and to (hopefully) get some insight into where her kidney disease is at and what we can expect over what period of time...

and then maybe another post tomorrow arvo on something far less gloomy!!!!
