Almost unnoticed by the North American press, the terror in Gaza continues.
Civilian traffic is shelled.
Gunboats target civilians forced to skirt Israeli roadblocks by trudging up Gaza beaches. Troops shoot at children coming home from school, the bulldozing of Palestinian farmland continues unabated while those who attempt to protect their property come under Israeli fire. Expelled Palestinian farmers can only watch as the Israeli army slices access roads through their pitiful agricultural plots. There's the Israeli army's months'-long siege of refugee camps whose inhabitants lived under miserable conditions at the best of times. Any hope for a let-up in the destruction of homes by armoured bulldozer or M1 tank cannon is a fleeting dream.
