Gaza in darkness
by Claudia Sonea


Apparently the chosen people forgot what goodness really means, especially the holy advice to love the others how one would love himself. Just a few hours before Condoleezza Rice, US Secretary of State, arrived there with the purpose of setting the peace conference due to take place this fall, they declared Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip an enemy entity and therefore they will cut utilities to the territory, leaving the inhabitants in the dark and cold. The officials did not give any specific dates, but the Palestinians and the Arabs that backs them interpreted as a proof that Israel will do as it sees fit regardless of the cost to civilians, and that the U.S. will not block Israel's hand. Rise did not comment upon the matter, even though it is complicating U.S. plan to relaunch peace talks. US did not give any detail on the entire purpose of the summit, not anything about those that are expected to attend it. On Condoleezza Rice's agenda the main purpose remains the conquest of Arabs States in order to back up Palestinians in any deal they sign with the Israel. After sealing Gaza's borders, halting trade in and out of the area, Israel thought it is time cut electricity, water and other services. The main reason they say it is to put an end to Palestinian rocket fire on Israeli towns from launching sites in Gaza, but in fact they could just well draw a bull's eye on them, because the situation will get worst and the retaliatory measure will not be late to appear. Although Hamas militants who hold control unofficially in Gaza are not responsible for the rocket attacks, they are guilty for not doing enough to prevent it, according to Israel officials. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Grim- met with US Secretary of State and received assurances that USA will not let people from Gaza alone and that they too consider Hamas an enemy entity, but that doesn't mean all of the province inhabitants have to suffer. The decision is legal, but much above the human standard. Even Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the moderate leader who is USA and Israel hope, was very unsatisfied by the decision, because the embargo will continue to rise and the innocent people from Gaza will only suffer more. Rice met with defense chief, Ehud Barak, who told her that new military operations in Gaza might have to take place. Also she plans to see Abbas and other West Bank Palestinians. Will they get to an agreement and stop the awful situation of Gaza in the darkness? More to come…
