It seems the killings in Palestine would continue unabated even when the Israeli forces stop their air strikes. The Palestinian forces have killed the protesters who took to streets demanding immediate payment of their pending wages and salaries. The salaries have not been paid for months consecutively, owing to the bankruptcy of the Hamas government facing a financial crunch because of Israel's war with the Palestinians. The people are in distress because of the sanctions imposed on Palestine by the UNSC-5 effectively led by the USA. The UN must forthwith pay the full salary from its resources to the striking people and take steps to lift the dirty sanctions altogether because such sanctions only cripple the small economies. The sanction regime must be ended just as the UNSC-5 must be wound up for good.
