Bad PR for Israel and international furor over the raid forces move #1 - to slightly ease the blockade...

Then they take a step further move #2 -by saying we will allow Palestinians access to everything now (except weapons of course) ... See everybody? Israel is the good guy again... Israel wants peace...

But then we see this little maneuver... the SAME DAY that the restrictions are lifted... move #3-they are razing 22 Palestinian homes in Jerusalem to make way for Israeli buildings...

THIS IS DESIGNED to provoke move#4 - Hamas outraged by this launches some kind of feeble attack against Israel in retaliation... To which Israel replies... See everybody? We lift restrictions and they attack us again... now we must bomb them, and put the blockade back.

It's pathetic and nauseatingly predictable... the never ending chess game.
