Well our beloved Tony Blair, the MIddle East Envoy, has now come out (where has he been?
??) and stated that the Gaza embargo MUST end.
With the USA and 'Tony' stating this, then just perhaps all sides can be brought together in a big peace push and end this affair for once and for all
Perhaps some good can come out of this terrible affair

But I am not naive, so I am not holding my breath!!

Things will change and already started changing Lizzie, either this way or that way
for both sides..looking in Israel newspapers they are mostly defending themselves
and to our surprise some of them really query the mistakes ..
also its very obvious that internationaly most Jews living in other countries are not happy with the situation..
which will also effect the israel govt on the short or long term..
looking from our side , I'm afraid after the funeral today - although the problem seeming to be solved temporarily from outside world - in reality the problem is geared up to a higher level between us..and now its independant of triggering palestine problem (and of course it can trigger again).. I think both countries must be saved from their extremist govts.. with that mistake israel govt create a high vote potential here ready to be abused with the raising anger of crowds that can be hardly avoided..
and its not wrong to say; unexpectedly both countries central intelligencies had failed in the exam ..
On the background Usa, also was not ready for a situation like that.. which was also a surprise..
despite their "interesting" explanations that they give right to israel for security reasons as usual on the scene, now they began to see that this problem will also bring an extra cost and delay to their iran and middle east plans..
