Introduction and text of leaflet from CWI in Israel/Palestine
Around the world there has been shock and anger at the barbaric brutality of the Israeli government’s onslaught on the Gaza strip and horror at the impact of the random missile attacks on Israeli civilians. As in the Lebanon in 2006 the Israeli air assault is wiping out whole families in the name of “peace”.
Already it is clear that the Israeli government’s aim of overthrowing Hamas rule in Gaza by a combination of bombing and allowing a small increase of supplies into Gaza is failing and its assault has strengthened Hamas for now. This is preparing the way for possibly more desperate measures by the Israeli government, like a ground invasion, that could widen the conflict into a wider war.
