Power Shortages Hit Gaza Maternity Ward | | Jesse Rosenfeld -
the Daily Beast
"Members of the hospital staff say they are seeing 15 to 20 percent more premature births since the Israeli offensive began in Gaza more than two weeks ago. Then, on Tuesday, the Israelis hit the Gaza power plant. Many homes and institutions have their own generators, but fuel for those is running out, and without electricity to operate pumps, many people are going without water. At Shifa Hospital the generators are old and cranky and don’t always kick in right away." ca | 25/7/2014 |

Blast, a Fire and an Israeli Soldier Goes Missing | | ISABEL KERSHNER and JODI RUDOREN - The New York Times - Capturing an Israeli soldier — or even withholding a soldier’s remains — can have a powerful impact on Israeli society, more in some ways than death. Israel in the past has traded the freedom of hundreds of prisoners in exchange not just for the living — like Gilad Shalit, who was held from 2006 to 2011 before Israel negotiated a trade for his release — but also for the corpses of soldiers who died in battle.-rh

Why Israel should accept Hamas` terms | | Ben-Dror Yemini - Ynet - So Israel must make a move: It must accept Hamas` conditions, add to them, and announce its agreement to a ceasefire, in exchange for the Strip`s demilitarization by an international force.-rh

It is a war crime to target densely packed Gaza homes | | Raji Sourani - The Irish Times - The purpose of the Gaza doctrine is straightforward: disproportionate force is used to cause terror among the civilian population to exert political pressure on the authorities in Gaza. This policy of collective punishment, of deliberately causing terror, is unequivocally illegal but it is all too real.-rh | 24/7/2014 |

Intolerance becoming all too common in Israel | | Mazal Mualem - Al-Monitor - Ben-Ari, who`s on the far right of the political spectrum, is constantly expanding his list of targets. In fact, he now calls for shipping the chairwoman of Zionist Meretz, Knesset member Zehava Gal-On, to Gaza. At the same time, he lashes out and curses, fouling the mood and further exacerbating the existing tensions between right and left over Operation Protective Edge.-rh

No Exit from Gaza: A New War Crime? | | Richard Falk - The Palestine Chronicle - The entrapment of the Gazan population within closed borders is part of a deliberate Israeli pattern of prolonged collective punishment that has for the past several years been imposed on Gaza. This amounts to a grave breach of Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which qualifies as a potential Crime Against Humanity.-rh | 16/7/2014 |

Ravaging Gaza: The War Netanyahu Cannot Possibly Win | | Ramzy Baroud -
Antiwar.com
"But there is still more to Israel’s war on Gaza than this. Fearing an intifada that would unite Palestinians, threaten the PA, and slow down the construction of illegal settlements, Netanyahu’s war on Gaza means to distract from the slowly building collective sentiment among Palestinians throughout Palestine, and among Palestinian citizens in Israel.This unity is much more alarming for Netanyahu than a political arrangement by Fatah and Hamas necessitated by regional circumstances. The targeting of Hamas is an Israeli attempt at challenging the emerging new narrative that is no longer about Gaza and its siege anymore, but the entirety of Palestine and its collectives regardless of which side of the Israeli "separation wall" they live on." ca
