In far-away Haiti a terrible disaster has occured.
Within a few hours an Israeli aid mission was organized.


In near-by Gaza hundreds of houses lie in ruins.
The inhabitants do not ask for an aid mission.


Only that the Israeli government stops preventing
building materials from coming in.

Dec. 27 marked the one-year anniversary of Israel’s brutal invasion of the occupied Gaza Strip, which was commonly referred to as “Operation Cast Lead.”
