Israel threatens Gaza with all-out attack
By Sara Flounders
The Israeli siege of Gaza is an international crime of collective
punishment on an entire population. It is a crime carried out with the
full support and authorization of Washington.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had rejected overtures by Hamas, the
militant Islamic group that is the elected government in Gaza, for
discussions about even a temporary cease-fire. (New York Times, Dec. 24)
Now there are increasing calls within Israel, including from the head
of the Israeli military, for a full-scale invasion of besieged and
isolated Gaza.
