Israel has never sought peace with the Palestinians. Ever since the state of Israel was founded in 1948 on land stolen from the Palestinians it has sought to drive them out of the physical and political arena.
It expelled some 700000 Palestinians from the new state in 1948 and then subsequently harried these refugees in their camps and in neighbouring countries.
They have been slaughtered in their dozens,their hundreds and in their thousands at places like Sabra and Shatilla,Qana ,Jenin and now in Gaza.
Israeli assassination squads have ranged with impunity on the West Bank, mosques have been desecrated,tens of thousands of Palestinian homes have been demolished, international observers have been shot dead, children rounded up and beaten until their limbs have been broken and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian men along with women and children imprisoned and mistreated in the dozens of Israeli prisons built for them.
The Israeli military are serving up more of the same barbarity in Gaza with the smug connivance of the USA and Britain....but it isnt going to work.
The original ideals of the Zionists have long gone and what the workld is increasingly seeing are the brutal, thuggish and short sighted actions of a government that knows nothing except "to send good boys from good homes to do bad things".
