"Hamas could have chosen peace. Instead, it made Gaza suffer.
On the other hand, they could have surrendered (ie chosen Israeli peace) and made the Palestinians continue to suffer in the rubble that Israel have reduced their homes to.
If there is to be any justice for this crime against humanity, the least that must happen is the blockade must be lifted, the Berlin Walls must be removed and the Nazi-like persecution ended.
This should take place under close U.N. supervision and done publicly to the world can see that Israel is adhering to U.N. imposed directives.
Real justice would ascertain that Israel should pay reparation for the massive damage they have done and those responsible should be but on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, but as this latter is unlikely to happen, the first step is to allow the Palestinian people to some sort of human existence.
If Isreal will not agree to this, a worldwide boycott should be put into place until they do.
The U.N. was, rightfully, quick enough to call for a boycott on Russia after the downing of the plane; not to do so here following this massive act of inhumanity would call into question it's role as anything other than a talking-shop for politicians.
