For the second day in a row, picket lines at council premises across the city were mounted and services disrupted, while more than half of Birmingham's schools were closed due to the NUT industrial strike.

What about a complete halt to attacks by Israel against HAMAS? These attempts at peace always break down because Israel will demand HAMAS cease fire, but continue to attack Palestinians, such as the 2006 Gaza Beach Massacre, under Operation First Rain, which reignited the conflict.

Israel engineered this crisis, and does not want it to end.

However, if they refuse to accept these offers, eventually, the world will start publicly debating this fact.
