Israel shuns ceasefire plea as it prepares for street combat

[bridgit]

'ISRAEL turned its back on diplomatic efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire yesterday, as it continued to pound the Palestinian territory from land, sea and air.

At least 20 Palestinian children were killed, raising the known death toll from the new Israeli ground invasion to more than 80. At least 70 of these have been civilians, fuelling international outrage.'

to an end to the repeated violence.

That's the only language they understand- and probably the only thing that's going to get them to the table- no matter who wins the February elections....
