    Ceasefire, Israeli def.:We cease firing at your soldiers, and start starving your children instead

    Uri Avnery draws our attention to the fact that shooting off the odd unaimed rocket is just one way to break a ceasefire. In fact, the Israelis “broke” it the first day they turned off the electricity so the Palestinians could drown in their own shit; shut down the food so they could starve; held up the ambulences in which they died like dogs, waiting for some IDF corporal to decide to grant them life:

    “The blockade on land, on sea and in the air against a million and a half human beings is an act of war, as much as any dropping of bombs or launching of rockets.”

    This is an important detail to hold in one’s consciousness, when assailed by pious bleatings, the schrei SDEROT.., SDEROT…from the replicators of the *Warsaw Ghetto for a million and a half people.

    *without the amenities…
