It irks me to no end how Israel carries out its genocidal policies in the shadow of great American political events, using them as smokescreen for their insidious acts.
For example, it's become an indisputable fact that Israel broke the 4-month long truce on November 4, 2008 (US Election Day) when they went into Gaza and killed 6 Palestinians.
And now we have Israel coincidentally halting their 3-week bombing of Gaza on the eve of the great Obama inauguration, like a group of bumbling teenagers cleaning up after their raucous house party before the parents return home. The level of chutzpah that Israel displays in trying to outsmart their American sponsors never ceases to amaze me. And the saddest part is that most Americans fall for it - lock, stock, and barrel.
Of course to anyone who has intimately followed the countless criminal acts of Israel, this is not news. Nonetheless, I felt the need to get it off my chest.
Anyways, let us not forget that despite the ceasefire, the siege on Gaza continues.
Just don’t call it genocide

Who said the Israelis were trying to "outsmart" the Americans? There's no doubt in my mind that the Israelis knew the Bush misadministration would give at the least silent - if not overt - approval to their attack by not interfering with it (such as Bush had done when Israel attacked Lebanon in 2006). The Israelis knew that this would be their last best opportunity to attack Gaza before the Obama administration came in; I suspect the Israeli government isn't sure how Obama would react to the provocation (as opposed to knowing exactly how Bush would react). So I'm quite certain that this offensive was planned with the transfer of power in Washington in mind, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Washington knew about the Israelis' plans well beforehand.
It is so very refreshing to see some people knowing that the ceasefire was broken by Israel, because, here in America, Muslims and non-Muslims alike are saying the same darn lie: Hamas started it all.
But then again, you live in Saudi, and hence better informed about this affair.
