The military air and sea attack on Gaza [ itself a city of refugees and the children and grandchildren of refugees ] is a disgusting international war crime.

For six years its population of 1.6 millon has been beseiged by Istrael...a state armed and backed by the USA and the UK.

The economic blockade has meant that Israel has controlled in a most brutal way the movement of Palestinians, food, water, medicines and other basic essentials.

Four years ago Israel launched a savage attack on the city which killed 1400, mainly civilans and including over 300 Palestinian children. Nothing was safe from its savagery...schools, colleges, hospitals, clinics , apartment blocks, houses and a United Nations shelter were all blown up or attacked. Whole family groups were murdered by Israeli soldiers.

We are now seeing the latest round of the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people.Once again Israeli fanatics are murdering at will ...babies, children ,teenagers.It does not Seem to matter to them.

The response of Obama in America and Hague and Cameron in the UK has been shameful.

Join the mass protest in central London next saturday which wll call for a halt to the atack and an end to the economic and military blockade of Gaza.
