3,209 targets in Gaza struck by Israel 1,139 Palestinian deaths 2,233 rockets launched at Israel from Gaza 45 Israeli deaths [not one, or perhaps(?) one, of those Israeli deaths due to the rockets launched at Israel from Gaza, if I'm not mistaken (any correction welcome, of course)]
so too bad none of them listen or listened to Shimon Perez.
I read somewhere that He doesn't dare stop because of the powerful Likud party and of course the settlers, who really are responsible for the situation.. in a way, of course death lay in the hands of the killer ... but for sure the Settlers are what you could call 'part of the conspiracy' .. .. maybe ....even in a way ... paying Israel FOR the deaths of the Palestinians ...I can only remember that yes, 'some ' (few) settler young men must fight ... but most certainly not many do ..... and there you have it .. the settlers have sat atop the land and built their homes and gardens, on the Palestinian's (Gaza) land... ..
It is Mr. Perez birthday on August 2, not sure whether he will be ninety or ninety one.

I didn't read it ... what's the point? maybe someday. We know he cares for peace ... he did exhort Ben to seek peace also ... .. but really, it just doesn't mean anything.
