Israel vows to continue fight in Gaza
ISRAEL will continue acting in Gaza, even at the price of international condemnation, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said today, as the UN Security Council met to discuss Israel's blockade of the impoverished territory.

"Israel does not need to apologise for its existence or to apologise for protecting its citizens. Israel will continue to act and fulfill its commitment to its citizens even at the price of condemnation," Ms Livni said in a speech at the Herzliya conference on the balance of Israel's national security.

"We left Gaza. Israel can no longer remain the pretext for terror organisation attacks against Israel," she said, referring to the Jewish state's 2005 unilateral withdrawal from Gaza after 38 years of occupation.

The comments came just as the UN Security Council held an emergency session to mull a call for ending the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip as the Jewish state eased its lockdown and allowed in limited amounts of fuel.

2. Blockade a people and deny them food and the basics of living..
(slow motion genocide), and then act surprised that people get violent! And, then use the retaliation as if it's agression rather than defense.

Sick.
