The Israeli pounding of Gaza shows no sign of abating. What do you think needs to happen for a ceasefire to be agreed?

Banging each other in the head just winds up with everyone having a headache. Did the Hamas leaders think that Israel would respond by sending falafel in response to rocket attacks? Didn't Israel realize that responding to Hamas would just make them look like brutes and bullies.
After all the death and destruction, all that's been accomplished is that hatred has been further reinforced and a true sense of a shared interest in peace has been buried even deeper in the dust.

I applaud the attempts to force peace in the Palestinian/Israel conflict.
I just hope we can use the same enthusiasm against Robert Mugabe (more than 2000 dead and over 40000 ill with cholera, not to mention abject poverty, destroyed farms and housing.
We can then also with this same enthusiasm put pressure on the Janjaweed and the Sudanese government, apparently we have seen between 200,000 and 400,000 civilian deaths so far, murder rape and pillage.
Lets add the Congo, Somalia, Chechen etc, the list goes on,.
However for some strange reason I never see anyone on the streets for those hundreds of thousand perhaps even millions who are being murdered, raped, and tortured and displaced people.
Is this a little hypocritical?

STOP ALL ARMS SALES TO ISRAEL NOW!

Apply pressure to President Obama to STOP ALL ARMS SALES TO ISRAEL NOW. These American bombs, guns and aircraft are being used to kill hundreds of civilians including women and children. If the US wants peace and respect in the world, she must stop colluding in these atrocities by pretending they are justified. Killing children is NEVER justified.

The only way to isolate Israel is to isolate Israel and the USA together ...

Jan 2008 is a major attack after 2003. In terms of death toll 2008 exceeds in folds compare to 2003. The pragmatic way to put pressure on Israel is to isolate Israel and her chief supporter the US at international level. In Jan 08, 2008 when 14 out of 15 Security Council members voted on UN resolution to stop Israel's attack in Palestine, ONLY ONE nation, the USA, abstain from voting and failed the resolution. It's NOT the first time the USA did like there are umpteen such record where the USA exercised her veto in favor of Israel.
