50 Arab and Israeli peace groups to demonstrate near Gaza on Jan. 1
No less than 50 Israeli and Arab peace groups will hold a symbolic peace demonstration near the Gaza Strip on Friday, Jan. 2. The demonstration will include leading personalities. EIR was told, that they also will be demanding a ceasefire.
One of the leading organizers, a former paratrooper, commented that an Israeli ground assault into Gaza would be a disaster for three reasons. First, despite the fact that the Israeli army has recovered from the Lebanon war, Gaza's terrain now in the rainy season, means that both tanks and troops would be stuck in the mud. There would be high casualties on both sides. Israel would "win," but then what?
Second, after paying a heavy price, Israel would have to leave and negotiate a truce with Hamas at the end of the day. And third, Israel could be condemned officially for war crimes.
