In December 2008, before the new elected President of United States become the President, Israel lauches an attack over Gaza, under the pretext of rockets fallen on its territory. This cease-fire rupture answered an attack of Israel which had killed six combatants on November 4th 2008. One cannot thus speak about self defence as Israel prevailed itself about it, but well rather of a war against Gaza.

The film works several types of images and sounds to recover on Internet by confronting them with some tapes of texts.
