Israel Activists Mark Anniversary of Gaza Invasion
--------------------------------------------------



On Sunday, dozens of Israeli peace activists held a demonstration in
southern Israel near the border with Gaza to mark the first anniversary
of the Israeli assault on Gaza.

Israeli peace activist Hadar Geyevski: "We came here one year after the
war in Gaza, the war in which 1,400 citizens of Gaza died, were killed
by the Israeli military forces. We came here to protest the ongoing
siege on Gaza, has been going on for years and years now. Israel
controls the entrances to Gaza. It controls. It decides when and where,
how much food will go to Gaza. "
