STOP SHOOTING IN GAZA


Palestinian politicians reacted with fury to the most recent attack. Atef Odwan, the Hamas minister of refugee affairs, visited the scene of the shelling, where there were deep pools of blood. “We cannot accept this destruction,” he said. “We cannot accept the peace process or talk about stopping resistance. They are trying to break the Palestinian people and its resistance and trying to force us out of our homes. But we have nothing to lose. We have no choice but to stand for our rights.”

Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister, said that negotiations on a unity government between Fatah and Hamas would be suspended in protest at the attack. Ghazi Hamad, a government spokesman, told AP: “After this barbaric operation, Israel proved that it’s not a humane state. It’s a state that believes in killing, and therefore this state should cease to exist.”
