dark days ahead for gaza

the moment that israel might actually lift lift the blockade on gaza has passed. the israeli public is about to elect the most radical rightwing government in the history of the jewish state. given the mood of the country, it would be political suicide for kadima to ease the blockade in these final days before the election. and once they lose, the next government is even less likely to do anything to ease the suffering of the gazans.
