The Siege of Gaza is Broken
By STANLEY HELLER
CounterPunch
"The Palestinian people took their destiny in their own hands and smashed down the wall that divided Gaza from Egypt. Hundreds of thousands of people left their prison and walked into Egypt and bought up food, fuel and everything else in sight. It took great courage to do what they did. Just one day earlier desperate Palestinians trying to get to the Egyptian side of Rafah were met by club wielding Egyptian cops and water canon. It would not have been beyond the gangster Olmert-Barak regime to have massacred the people from the air. Yet when the wall came down the people came rushing out.......
While the politicians talked and talked, peaceful direct action has broken the logjam and eased the inhuman misery. May it spread all over."
