Özhan Önder is on his 2nd day of hunger strike for the "Chain Hunger Strike for Gaza" campaign.
Israel and Hamas have been convinced for a ceasefire, fragile but necessary. The war is not over, because the reasons that animated the conflict are not finished. This is just the relentless and bloody terrible new chapter in a crisis that seems eternal between Palestinians and Israelis. But one day will end. Like the mafia will end.
Israel has bombed particularly tunnels, schools, hospitals, mosques and ovens: the objective, therefore, more than win a war, it seems is to make people mad. Perhaps Israel does not want to regain Gaza and even not to defeat Hamas. On the contrary Israel wants to expel Gaza, keep it away from the occupied territories, mark even more the gap of separation and push it toward the area of economic and political influence of Egypt, perhaps one day to be annexed. But in 2009 to massacre more than a thousand people in the name of geopolitics, it seems to me the most stupid of barbarism. The more cruel and useless, because 1300 deaths in Gaza are not enough to strike and bring down Hamas, not even enough to stop the launching of Qassam rockets, not even enough to turn the population against Hamas. 1300 dead in the Gaza strip (1 million 500 thousand inhabitants) are not negligible in the local equilibrium. It means that 1 Palestinian died in 1100 each. It means that Gaza is still there and possibly more radical, more intransigent than ever. May have been a calculation as well.
Is the fact that most of these deaths in 1300 (of which more than 400 children) perhaps the world would not have allowed. That the international community would take at least one lesson from this massacre: Israel is a danger to world peace, its leaders should be tried as war criminals and civil society throughout the world must now immediately begin a mass boycott of up to send a clear message to Israel: this slow and calculated genocide of the Palestinians must end and the apartheid must end. And my hope is always for the 1 country 2 people solution, with all citizens with equal rights.
<<I hope in European help, that the descendants of Voltaire and Rousseau help Israel, because Israel will not end the occupation as long as Europe does not say enough. Only one pressure on the part of civil and democratic countries may change the situation and return to happiness. The current situation - in which those laws and the army - can not be changed from the inside. For the values of which it bears, Europe can not continue to collaborate with Israel>>.
Aaron Shabtai so in recent days, Israeli poet whom I had the pleasure of meeting last spring.
<<Bolivia had diplomatic relations with Israel, but in the face of these facts that are against life, and humanity, these breaks relations with the state of Israel>>, said the president Evo Morales Ayma. As did also Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela. I hope that many others follow.

The campaign for the "Chain Hunger Strike for Gaza" continues until the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza will not be completed and open crossing points.
Yesterday for a moment it seemed that the war really was over. Seçkin ended his period of military, we went to take him at the barracks in a place on the Marmara Sea, now the entire tribe is united again. No illusions, the war is increasingly like the unended toy for the fun of the mighty of the earth. They have fun to do the math on the lives of people (and that money then ends up in their pockets).
Finally, and it seems a whole series of coincidences, the site of the Indian filmfestival where "Isti'mariyah" were invited and selected for the next spring, has uploaded the documentary film version with subtitles in English. This move raises me from any legal liability by using the Internet to disseminate my work inexplicably in drawers of Paeacereporter by 3 years. Therefore, with great pleasure that I invite you all to watch "Isti'mariyah" and downloaded it from the site. Concerning these days it makes a certain effect ...
