Thank You, Gideon Levy!

While Israel continues to reject any of the diplomatic solutions set forth and promises to 'intensify' its action in Gaza to in order to 'release the captured soldier'; while hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians still lack access to water and electricity and 25 thousand might be forced to flee from their homes; while the US once again uses its veto power in the UN Security Council to make sure no resolution against Israel's outrageous behavior will get through; while the whole world is watching and disagreeing but refuses to act; there are some voices that dare to speak out. I strongly encourage you to read the Israeli journalist Gideon Levy's fierce, stark and heartfelt criticism of his own government; A Black Flag hangs over Gaza. What a relief to know there are some sane people in this world. May the world come to the same insights, may somebody listen, may somebody act, may there eventually be some justice in this incredibly unjust world.
