As I have said before, the most important thing, in addition to stopping the bombing is to lift the blockade. So you can send all the food and medicines you want, but it won't get through unless the blockade is lifted.<BR/><BR/>Also, supporting organisations with human rights watch groups particularly international observers in Gaza like the freegaza movement and the International solidarity movement will help to prosecute some of the IDF personnel who lack sense in going in there and getting into a whole lot of trouble for *war crimes, or even getting killed by their own fire. Pretty senseless, since they have much more to live for than the beleaguered Hamas.<BR/><BR/>*Prosecuting them for war crimes sets a legal precedent and helps deter the repetition of such disproportionate actions. Also gives world leaders the message: "This is not a play ground for you to play games in.

The group – WHICH INCLUDED FOUR CHILDREN FOUND NEXT TO THEIR DEAD MOTHERS, TOO WEAK TO STAND – was less than 100 metres from an Israeli position, the ICRC said in a strongly worded statement.
