[AP photo]Today marks exactly three weeks since violence broke out in Israel and the Palestinian occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank. With the ground offensive launched yesterday, the death and destruction toll can only increase in full glare of the world. The three and the flag were unconditionally released after representation by the Kenyans 4 Palestine network, Amnesty International Kenya, and Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan. Given all we have seen few believe that the imminent ground invasion of Gaza will protect civilians or pursue purely military objectives. It is time for a military ceasefire and a lasting solution to the occupation of Palestine.
