Overnight, the Israeli military stormed ships attempting to break their blockade of the Gaza Strip. Already, it's devolved into the usual finger-pointing and accusations and counter-accusations with Israel saying that they were attacked before they even got onto the ships and the international community generally decrying a military raid on a ship full of international aid for the Gaza Strip. 10 were killed... the Beeb has coverage here.
I'm not sure what to think or say about this except this: the two-state solution is rapidly slipping away from both sides and peace is far, far away right now with a right-wing Israeli government that has no reason to make concessions to the Palestinians and a divided Palestine that can't rein in or control extremist elements on their end of things. Nothing will change anytime soon and as a result, senseless deaths and incidents like this will keep happening on both sides.
