The New York Times: Parsing Gains of Gaza War

The Palestinians in Gaza got the message on the first day when Israeli warplanes struck numerous targets simultaneously in the middle of a Saturday morning. Some 200 were killed instantly, shocking Hamas and indeed all of Gaza.

There are limited indications that the people of Gaza felt such pain from this war that they will seek to rein in Hamas..

Inflicting pain on civilians for political ends is another long-standing doctrine of state terror, in fact its guiding principle. I do not, incidentally, recall the Times retrospective "Parsing Gains of Chechnya War," though the gains were great.

And of course, not even mentioning the illegal Israeli blockade which blocks basic necessities for survival from entering Gaza.

UN agencies join in shared call for end to Israeli blockade of Gaza

14 June 2012 As the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip enters its sixth year, several UN agencies today joined a group of international charities in unanimously calling for the lifting of the blockade.

For over five years in Gaza, more than 1.6 million people have been under blockade in violation of international law. More than half of these people are children. We, the undersigned, say with one voice: end the blockade now, the 50 organizations and agencies said in a joint statement.

The government of Israel is facing mounting international criticism for the Gaza blockade and this unanimous statement from some of the most worlds most respected international organizations is likely to increase pressure for the blockade to be lifted, they added.

The closure continues to have a serious humanitarian impact on civilians and perpetuates an unsustainable and unacceptable situation for the population of Gaza.

On Wednesday, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Valerie Amos, also called for the blockades immediate lifting, citing the devastating impact it has had on the lives and livelihoods of the Strips residents.

She said that more than 80 per cent of families in Gaza are dependent on humanitarian aid. In addition, while some steps have been taken to ease the blockades impact, Gaza remains subject to severe restrictions on imports, exports and the movement of people, by land, air and sea which amounts to a collective punishment of all those living in Gaza and is a denial of basic human rights in contravention of international law.
