Zero Accountability
Monday night, Israel killed more than 400 Palestinians in a massacre intended to destroy the ceasefire for good. This is not the first time that Israel has tried to upend the agreement.

What lies ahead is the beginning of something more difficult and greater. Ahead of us are years filled with sorrow that will never end, days of accumulated pain, and long hours of crying and lamenting. Our wounds are much deeper than they can easily heal.

Feeding Chaos: Israel Cripples Syria’s Defence
The justifications are always the same. We are moving into territory for security reasons. We are creating a temporary buffer zone from which tactical advantage can be gained against potential dangers.
