Can the Gaza residents once again settle back into a regular life of fear and misery?
In 1999 NATO launched 2,300 missiles at 990 targets and dropped 14,000 bombs on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including depleted uranium bombs and cluster munitions. Over 2,000 civilians were killed, including 88 children, and thousands more were injured. Over 200,000 ethnic Serbs were forced to leave their homeland in Kosovo. NATO airstrikes destroyed more than 300 schools, libraries, and over 20 hospitals. At least 40,000 homes were either completely eliminated or damaged and about 90 historic and architectural monuments were ruined. (wikipagethingy)
This was done to control a Rogue state that threatened the Autonomy of Kosovo and was effectivley carrying out ethnic cleansing.
So, it appears that Israel has got off lightly as look what could have happened if NATO had become riled.
So, the question is,
What's the difference between Milosevic and Nethenyahu?
And related, what's the difference between NATO and the above two? That set of figures is very similar to Israels over the last few weeks.In 1999 NATO launched 2,300 missiles at 990 targets and dropped 14,000 bombs on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including depleted uranium bombs and cluster munitions.

A groups of nine activists today shut down a factory, one of two UK subsidiaries of Israeli arms firm Elbit.
UAV Engines Limited, in Shenstone, Lichfield (40 minutes north of Birmingham), makes drone engines. According to the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, these have been exported to Israel.
At 5am this morning, the group shut the main gates to the factory and scaled the eight-meter wall. The group are now camped on the roof, intending to close the factory for as long as possible, and have enough supplies to last a week, they say.
Speaking from the rooftop over the phone to The Electronic Intifada today, London Palestine Action activist Ewa Jasiewicz said they had successfully shut down the factory: it is completely closed, and the car park empty.
...
“The Palestinian people need more from us than Tweets, Facebook posts and and marches from A to B,” Jasiewicz said.
In an online video feed that was live for a time today, Jasiewicz stated through a loudspeaker her hope that more people would take action against factories such as this one and like the EDO MBM factory in Brighton.
A campaign against the factory led by the Smash EDO group has run in Brighton for years. EDO is an arms component factory known to have links with Israel.
“Britain needs to impose an arms embargo on Israel,” Jasiewicz said. “Crimes against humanity” are taking place in Gaza: “it’s not enough to look in horror at the television … action speaks louder than words,” she implored.
Tim Montgomerie (ex Conservative Home) just said on the telly news that he thought Hamas rocket attacks were 'equally horrific' as the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Seriously?

The month-long Israeli aerial and ground offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip is estimated to have cost the Palestinian territory at least USD 4.6 billion in damage.
The Palestinian economy ministry sources say the figure includes only direct damage to the Gaza economy.
The ministry said the cost would climb once additional impacts of the Israeli strikes are taken into account.

Shejaia neighbourhood, which witnesses said was heavily hit by Israeli shelling
Or just a swift kick up the arseYou need medical and psychiatric help.
tbh i'd be less than unhappy if those pictures had been tel aviv. they can whack it out: but can the zionists take it?
Milosevic died in the Hague, hopefully Netenyahu will follow soon.
just give him a ticket to den haag, a reservation at a hotel and then smother him in his sleep.Seeing as neither the US or Israel recognise the International Criminal Court, do you realistically see this happening? Sure, it would be good to have this happen in principle, but...

whack the people in charge of that first thenHardly, they'd activate the Samson Option.

Or better still do that but skip the bit about going to den haag and use a brick to smother him while he's awake.
