"War is Over... There"

Every week, every day, there are demonstration over in the West Bank against the Gaza assault.
These demonstrations are nothing new, as they have been protesting against the building of a fence, a wall, which continues to usurp land from people whose land is already tenuous in their grip.
These demonstrations have been going on for years, since 2002.
That's eight years.
How many years has Southern Israel been under rocket attack?

A worrying trend has been showing over the past week.

There have been numerous Anti-Gaza assault demo's in the West Bank since the operation began.
Today, during such a protest, a Palestinian man was shot by IDF forces, this is the third casualty in as many days.
A soldier was wounded by rock throwers.

So... yeah.

... yeah.

Do you get the feeling Israel has gone too far this time?

I have that feeling in my gut that something very very bad, well, even worse, is going to happen soon. :(

Do I get the feeling?!

My dear friends... I know and have been saying! This is going to screw every diplomatic venture for years to come!

There is more real anger towards Israel in this country than I think I've ever seen before. Very sad.

I wish I could put a spell of collective amnesia over the whole region. What good is history doing you!
Oh it is so sad, so sad.

A hug and a kiss from me and know that you are in my thoughts.
