About Gaza
Qalballah and Shukr have both blogged eloquently about this, and I've just watched America's only intelligent politician talking about it and other things. Well worth a look.
I want to know what we can do, though? How do we stop these so-called 'pre-emptive' strikes, as Ron Paul describes them? If an aggressor is determined to be aggressive in the face of universal opposition, if governments are determined to bankrupt their own countries, if people with great power throughout the world persist in acting in this way, what can we do? Protest? It doesn't stop them. What will?
I've read quite a bit about what's happening in Gaza and am as outraged as everyone else, but this post by 'Babs' perhaps comes closest to my thoughts on it, such as they are.

Israel is propped up by the west. If the US and UK were to stop supporting it then it will be crushed to dust by Arab forces in no time.
So if those economies ran out of spare funding, things might start to look different..?
In one word, yes.
I strongly suspect that the US and UK will support Israel to the bitter end and divert money and attention away from domestic issues in the process.
The government bashes people on benefits but spends billions each year directly or indirectly propping up Israel and Israeli interests.
mm well I don't thin that would happen having read Craig Murray and his commenters here: http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2009/01/gordon_brown_is.html
