So much for a permanent ceasefire
Israel vows to continue the oppression of the people of Gaza:
Israel has all but ruled out fully reopening border crossings with the Gaza Strip as long as Hamas rules the enclave or stands to benefit from easing of the restrictions, a top adviser to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said.In his talk today, Barack Obama did call for an opening of the border crossings. Will be back up that call with any deeds, like cutting off aid to Israel until Olmert changes his tune? Right.
