On the farming fields outside the north- eastern town of Beit Hanoun, Israeli ground troops tank fire has killed again.Sunday afternoon three Palestinians lost their lives.The victims were according to local eyewitness targeted by Israeli tanks.

The victims are identified as the 91-year-old Ibrahim Abdullah Abu Saeed,a caretaker at a local farm,and his 17-year-old grandson. The teenager later died of his fatal injuries at the hospital,the third victim is a young man,Ismael Walid Abu Audeh,20.

This latest Zionists assault against Palestinian civilians appear less than two weeks after renewed "direct talks" began between the Israelis and the traitors of the Fatah ruled Palestinian Authority.

Worth attention,I can sense a major problem.The most popular of Palestinian political parties,the Hamas movement,elected majority representatives of the Palestinians, is not represented as a party of these "talks", which had been resumed on Tuesday in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

The deadly assault on the three unarmed Palestinians on Monday, is a violation of a Palestinian demand,the complete Israeli withdrawal to the borders and across the Green line of the 1967 signed agreement.This is the year when the Zionist entity invaded and occupied Gaza, the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

During almost 4 years, 1.5 million residents of the Gaza community have endured a totally crippling blockade.And the Israelis siege on Gaza continued through out the full scale chemical war during the last days of 2008, until the 19th of January 2009.

The blitzkrieg,grossly unrestrained bombardments and tank fire, killed more than 1400 Palestinians and wounded over 4800, most of them were unarmed civilians.

The process of recovering from this genocidal war is slow.The recovery  process have been interrupted,has been delayed,day after day, year after year.

The damage inflicted on the Gaza community has not only caused personal damage,unspeakable mental stress and somatic trauma, but also, the infrastructural economy of Gaza has endured an estimated loss of almost 2 billion usd.

The White House and it's misally, the Zionists entity are playing with fire! Resumed talks between the parties can never succeed without Hamas representation.

Who said that the elected majority always rules ?

The so called peace talks are just an ugly lie,a farcical travesty of  honesty, dignity, respect,equality, democracy and justice.

I do not believe anymore I am so disappointed, being observant I already know of the outcome.

And who,will take the blame when the talks will fall apart..again?

I am thinking of the 91-year-old Palestinian grandfather,Ibrahim Abdullah Abu Saeed who was assassinated on Sunday outside the small town of Beit Hanoun on the farming fields he tended with care.

Abo Saeed lived a long life, almost a century.He spend his  four last years together with his family, detained inside the largest open air prison on earth ,that is Gaza..

I wounder about him.Was he thwarted in hope, bitter and saddened, by every failure disappointed of the outcome.Was he a humble and modest man?

Hoping to live a little bit longer,to see a Palestinian state,to feel, to touch and taste the bitter sweetness of peace. A righteous reward for such a long await and for the most honorable duty. The very best gift a Palestinian man can get, to see, at last, after all these years of struggle, a homeland begin to thrive and prosper. 

As for so many Palestinians in Gaza, the unusual long lifespan of Abu Saeed was also marked by sacrifice and hardship.

To think these sad thoughts about it all, makes me very distressed....
