The government of Israel seems to have got what it has been trying to
achieve by continues attacks against Palestinians during these last weeks.
A new suicide attack with gives the government an excuse not to
negotiate with the Palestinian Authority and to press on with their
landgrab. And Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade have now given
to Israel´s government just what they wanted. 9 dead in a new suicide
attack in Ashdod.
In the short run Israel will prevail, in the long run it´s digging it´s own
grave. And the pathetic West does nothing except sheds crocodile tears
when Israelis die.
There are in this world many conflicts that are hard to solve, like the
bloody conflict in Kashmir, but the conflict in Palestine isn´t. Certainly a
East Timor -like operation should bring peace, but the western countries
seem to think that it´s easier to let Israel have it´s way.
Pitiful.
