THE crisis over Gaza is shaking and reshaping politics internationally. There are huge protests across the world as Israel’s invasion and bombing of Gaza shows the world the brutality of the occupation and the apartheid state. The number of deaths of Palestinians is growing all the time, with very large numbers of them children.
The bombing of refugee camps and schools, the denial of basic amenities such as electricity and water, and the sight of bodies lying among the rubble, have all been too much for millions of people who feel they must do something to stop this aggression.
Not so our rulers. The US, British and EU governments have united to back Israel and to suggest this bombardment — which can only be described as a war crime — is simply Israel “defending itself.”
