You are wrong to say that it was Hamas that ended the ceasefire.

The ceasefire held up remarkably well but was doomed once Israel continued to tighten the noose around Gaza by totally controlling and throttling Gaza's land ,sea and air borders.

During the 18 months of the blockade hundreds of Gazan hospital patients in desperate need of medical treatment were denied exit from the strip and over a hundred died as a direct result.

The last straw for the Palestinians was the killing of six Hamas men inside Gaza which effectively was the start of the renewed conflict.

I am not making this up it is what is widely claimed by many outside the ranks of Israel's apologists for the slaughter that is taking place in Gaza.

All credit to those inside Israel,both Israeli and Palestinian, who have called for an end to the slaughter and have a wider perspective than the tunnel vision of those who are directing and murdering in the city.
