The Associated Press: Israeli spy chief makes fresh bid to free soldier
But wait? I thought that there were negotiations on opening crossings to Gaza and lifting the siege. No, don't dream of it. The world forgot about the people of Gaza. They are only 1.5 millions without much food and destroyed infrastructure and homes. It is OK, just forget about them. There is no need to give them any media coverage. They are an old story. But this soldier is also an old story why do they still talk about him as if Israel's survival or even peace in the Middle east depends on him? Yes, he is very important but not the around 1000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. these are only mentioned when one is talking about a swap with an important detained Israeli individual.
Isn't that a crime to let the people of Gaza hunger for another month while Israelis are caring only about this soldier and Palestinian parties are busy with national reconciliation? Hey people, wake up there 1.5 millions detained there and the neither International law nor anybody else is doing anything for them. No, this is not the whole truth. I was relieved today to hear that
"A group of leading judges and investigators called on Monday for a "prompt, independent and impartial" investigation into allegations of war crimes committed during Israel's conflict in Gaza earlier this year"
(Read the complete article at Reuter's). I hope these people can make the UN move to do something in the War Crime tribunal and not simply running after Sudan's president. I do not what this person did and how many crimes his regime committed. I know that he is being now persecuted because of diregarding one UN council resolution (or perhaps a few of them) that dealt with stopping the civil war and war crimes in Darfur / Sudan. What about Israel that broke a whole bunch of Security Council resolutions and diregarded a whole load of other ones, without counting resolutions that never became ones because of American vetoes? Nobody wants to bring Israeli politicians to justice for 60 years occupation and repeated aggressions on all neighbours?! Probably not
