A year ago the war was in full swing.

As an anniversary the Israelis have launched air strikes in Gaza.

The world seems to have abandoned Gaza.

An coming Tory government is likely to be even more pro Israel than Brown.

The war machine rumbles on.

Protest can seem futile but you have to keep on.
