I/P I hope that the "West" does not regret the carte blanche that it has given to Israel.

Hamas committed atrocities this is clear, it was a blindingly short-sighted and suicidal mission. Israel has told the Palestinians to flee Gaza. They have blockaded Gaza completely, nothing can go in or out. There are no humanitarian corridors. Hospitals and religious buildings have been bombed. Telecommunication companies have been targeted in an attempt to black out Gaza. The Rafah crossing into Egypt has been bombed, so no escape there. Palestinians are being shot in the West Bank. Movement in the West Bank is severely restricted, International law is being ignored....
