Israel failing its own false ceasfire, is what this depraved episode in Israeli history will be remembered as.
The fact is that there was no real ceasfire, Gaza has been under siege for years, its people punished for finally having elected a group unwilling to bend to Western distortions of the truth and Israeli murder. Hamas is the first sign of a political mass will to end the colonial domination of a foreign invader, hell bent on a people's utter ruin, and it was a sign so abhorrent to the West that its media has almost wiped the truth of it from the face of the earth. The most dangerous sign is the constant use of the line, Hamas takeover of Gaza. The words democratic elections are washed away, allowing those in power to persecute with moral impunity (in the West) a people doing what is their's to do by right.
In term sof culture, well, all that was so magnificent about Palestine before the distaster of conquest is forgotten, left out of the picture, instead terrifying men in balaclavas take centre stage, the Ak-47 is their only tool now. Long gone from the Palestinian world are the great secular poets and universities and newspapers. Destroyed by Western Imperialism and Isreali domination. Palestine was a country and it was destroyed.
Also, forgotten is our own past of deperation and struggle, the right to self defence it seems is now reserved for us and our friends. Were the great American patriots alive today, Israel would be their Britain, a towering giant above the pitiful natives struggling for freedom. The Revolutionaries of France would be marching upon Jerusalem decrying the crimes agains man commited by this tyrant.
