Quotations
On the Israeli bombing of Gaza: “This has to stop. It is necessary to stop this war, to lift the blockade of Gaza, to denounce the perpetrators of war crimes to the international criminal court. Above all, we must give back to the Palestinians the means to live, the prospects for the future, we must guarantee the recognition of their rights and justice, without which there will never be peace.” (Lausanne, Jan. 14, 2009, Ché Tafel, politique; photo RTs.ch)
