STATE TO FUND TREATMENT OF PETS HURT BY ROCKET FIRE With cats and dogs facing rocket threat just like their human companions, Agriculture Ministry decides to help pay for medical care of pets injured by rocket fire IsraeliActivism, January 6, 2009 (This is UNBELIEVABLE, especially the comments by the readers!)

Watered-Down UN Security Council Resolution Stands on the Backs of the People of Gaza There is no safe place in Gaza. A statement by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reads: "This war is unique in the way that the civilians have no place to go and no place to hide." On Saturday evening, one week after the launch of Operation Cast Lead, Israel's ground operation began and civilian casualties increased rapidly. The UN grimly reports that one-third of the over 850 dead and 3300 injured were children. Entire families were buried under the rubble of houses that were hit, and starving children were later found sitting next to their dead parents and other corpses. Global Research, January 12, 2009

Blueprint for Gaza attack was long planned Mr. Ehud Barak, Israeli Defence Minister, began expanding the blockade to include shortages of electricity and fuel. It was widely assumed that this was designed to pressure the civilian population of Gaza to rebel against Hamas. However, it may also have been a central plank of Barak’s military strategy: any general knows that it is easier to fight an army -- or in this case a militia -- that is tired, cold and hungry. More so if the fighters’ family and friends are starving too. A few months later, Mr Barak’s loyal deputy, Matan Vilnai, made his now infamous comment that, should the rocket fire continue, Gazans would face a “shoah” ~ the Hebrew word for holocaust.

British Telecom Firm Severs Ties with Israeli Counterpart over Gaza SUPPORT this company with YOUR business! British telecommunications firm FreedomCall has terminated its cooperation with Israel's MobileMax due to the IDF operation in Gaza.

Global BDS Movement, January 5, 2009

The Real Goal of the Slaughter in Gaza. Hamas cannot be defeated so it must be brought to heel. Despite the popular rhetoric in Israel, no senior official really believes Hamas can be destroyed, either from the air or with brigades of troops. It is simply too entrenched in Gaza. AntiWar.com, January 2, 2009

Unconventional Weapons against The People of Gaza Dr. Mads Gilbert This report confirms that these attacks are quite deliberately directed against civilians, using new unconventional weapons. This is a carefully planned humanitarian catastrophe. How can anybody in their right mind support the actions of the Israeli government.

Depleted uranium found in Gaza victims Medics tell Press TV they have found traces of depleted uranium in some Gaza residents wounded in Israel's ground offensive on the strip. Norwegian medics told Press TV correspondent Akram al-Sattari that some of the victims who have been wounded since Israel began its attacks on the Gaza Strip on December 27 have traces of depleted uranium in their bodies. The report comes after Israeli tanks and troops swept across the border into Gaza on Saturday night, opening a ground operation after eight days of intensive attacks by Israeli air and naval forces on the impoverished region. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Sunday that the wide-ranging ground offensive in the Gaza Strip would be "full of surprises." The Pakistani Spectator, January 4, 2009

Canada’s government and opposition trumpet Israel’s “right” to wage endless war in Gaza. Canada's political establishment has given its full support to the Israeli state's bloody onslaught against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

An Open Letter on the Murder of Palestine from George Galloway MP This young woman, a girl really, was with her baby one of 61 members of the same family of refugees hiding out in this school in the hope that it would not be attacked by the Israeli invaders. Her baby had not been changed in three days, she was feeding her the last bottle of milk and in a dirty bottle, there was no electricity and very little running water. What there was, was being drunk and cooked with, washed in and washed with. And the people in this school were the lucky ones."

Middle East: Gaza attacks central to Israeli elections, say analysts Israel's attacks in the Gaza Strip will have a crucial impact on the fortunes of political leaders ahead of national elections in February. Some Middle East analysts even believe the offensive is a cynical move to boost domestic popularity. Adnkronos International, January 12, 2009

VIDEO: Israel vs UN: Targeting Civilians Inside UN School Beautifully done very powerful video by Tamem showing Israeli war crimes and victims. Just the sound track will make you weep.

VIDEO:Media bias about the Israeli Palestine conflict EXPOSED! Why are the American and Canadian media so biased in the coverage of the Israeli ~ Palestine conflict? This excellent little film explains how and why it is that North Americans receive such white-washed news. Sanitized and biased. Why do we hear in great detail about the death of one Israeli soldier but nothing about the murder of a full family sitting in their home, hiding for safety? Worth a watch. As often as not, our Western media blame the victims for their own deaths.

IN GAZA HIPPOCRITES IS DEAD In Gaza, a firing squad put Hippocrates up against a wall, aimed and fired. The absurd declarations of an Israeli secret services' spokesman, according to which the army was given the green light in firing at ambulances because they allegedly carried terrorists, is an illustration of the value that Israel assigns to human life these days ~ the lives of their enemies, that is. FreeGaza Movement, January 12, 2009

 

NAZI ISRAEL ~ INDEED! Adolf Eichmann stated how Zionist leaders were idealist like Nazi leaders, willing to sacrifice hundred thousands of their own blood to achieve political goal. Lenni Brenner explains in his book Zionism in the Age of Dictators, in chapter 25, that Eichmann was referring here to a deal the Nazi struck with Zionist leaders, such as Hungarian Rezso Kastner, to save a few thousand hand-picked Zionists and wealthy Jews, who would immigrate to Palestine, in return for leading 750,000 Hungarian Jews, and other millions of European Jews to their death to make Jews "rightful victim", so that World Zionist Organization would have the "right" to come " before the bargaining table when they divide nations and lands at the war's end ... for only with (Jewish) blood shall we (Zionists) get the land."

THE CEASEFIRE: FINDING BODIES IN GAZA by EWA JASIEWICZ

Hanging out washing on the roof here is a potential act of suicide ~ there are stories of people having been shot dead on rooftops. Walking down the street to buy bread, also a potential act of suicide.

But everybody who can, still keeps going. Israeli war planes keep targeting civilians. The evidence piling up points to a deliberate campaign and policy of targeting civilians. And the bombs keep falling, thudding all around all of us, everywhere we go, everywhere we sleep, everywhere we walk, drive, sit and pray. Everyone is exhausted and just wants these attacks to end and for a real ceasefire to materialize.

VIDEO: Gaza: The untold story How did Gaza war start? Who is to blame? What is really going on over there? Is Israel targeting militant or children? This video will answer the questions. Another beautifully done film by Tamam. This one provides a brief history behind the current situation in Palestine.

The Brutal Face Of Israel’s “Total War” On Gaza "When we went outside, we held up white cloth, so the soldiers would know we were civilians. We were afraid they would shoot us, but we walked anyway, having no alternative. Women and small children were in our group. When we got to a point opposite the tanks, they opened fire at us. My mother was hit and fell down. Then my sister Majda was hit in the back. Both were killed. We ran back, toward Hussein al-’Ayadi’s house. Mother and Majda remained lying on the ground."

VIDEO: Gaza Humanitarian Crisis That Israel Denies is Happening Israel's Foreign Minister today announced that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This video proves that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is very real and serious. A fraction of the aid and supplies required are getting through Israeli blockades. Foreign journalists are still blocked from entering Gaza and reporting. 

 

War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields The issue of sovereignty over Gaza's gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine. The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza's offshore gas reserves. British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas Government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.

GAZA IS SINKING IN A RIVER OF BLOOD by Mohammed Fares Al Majdalawi

Imagine your life consisting of no electricity, destroyed homes, the sounds and strikes of missiles, day and night, and the only hunger as great as that for food is the hunger for an end to this occupation and siege. Imagine it is not just you but your children and your family who tell you through their eyes and cries: "We are afraid of the missiles." "We cannot sleep." "We may never sleep again." Imagine you are the dam and the river of blood has turned into a flash flood. How long could you stand it? The Electronic Intifada Live from Palestine, January 11, 2009

Israel 'using white phosphorus' Human Rights Watch has called on Israel to stop using white phosphorus which it says has been used in military operations in the densely populated Gaza Strip. The US-based group said that its researchers observed the use of the chemical, which can burn away human flesh to the bone, over Gaza City and Jabalya on Friday and Saturday. Global Research, January 11, 2009

AIDING AND ABETTING A HOLOCAUST Palestinians are being killed like insects not because of Hamas or because of Qaseem rockets or hand-thrown rocks. Palestinians burn and bleed because they are the non-Jewish natives of that land. There is no other reason. Just like Jews in the past were killed for being Jewish. Palestinians today are killed for being the Muslims and Christians who hold historic, legal and even genetic title to that land. Middle East OnLine, January 9, 2009

Israel trained on model for Gaza assault According to Israeli military spokesman Avi Benayahou, Israel used a model of the main city built at an army base in the Negev desert to train its soldiers for a ground operation. "Our soldiers know all the back streets where their targets are," military spokesman Avi Benayahou told Israeli public television on Monday. "For a year and a half our soldiers trained on a reduced model of Gaza City built on the Tsehilim base," he added.

WHAT IS HAMAS? Hamas's core leadership is directed by Shin Bet, which is Israel's domestic intelligence service. It is financed by 'mysterious foreign entities'. In reality, the money comes from the American taxpayer, financing covert Intel operations through Israeli front groups in Jordan, Syria, and Iran. (The allegations here could very easily be quite true) Judicial-Inc.Org,

Beating the Drums of a Broader Middle East War Israel, Syria, and Lebanon Prepare the "Home Fronts" ~ The Levant could be the starting point of a major international conflict with global ramifications and which could quickly spin out of control. Such a conflict could even involve the use of Israeli or American nuclear weapons against Iran and Syria. Syria has additionally declared that it is preparing for an inevitable war with Israel despite the fact that it believes that the chances of a war in 2008 are slim. Global Research, May 7, 2008

Ha'aretz: occupation soldiers murdered Palestinian soccer-playing children deliberately The Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz on Monday reported that the killing of three young Palestinian teenagers in Rafah on 9 April was carried out deliberately and with the intention to kill. The Israeli army said then soldiers shot at the legs of the three 14-year-old children who were playing soccer outside their homes in Rafah, at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip. Ha'aretz quoted "military sources" as saying that the soldiers who killed the boys fired with the intention to kill the boys. Ha'aretz, April 19, 2005

Gazans face ‘humanitarian crisis’ as Israeli raids intensify. Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister said "We are doing our utmost to avoid unnecessary suffering for civilians. What we cannot understand is the claim by officials from the ministries there that they cannot take part in the relief effort because they will be targeted. This is nonsense, perhaps the real reason is that it is in the interest of Hamas to ensure that food does not get to the people due to their own particular agenda." The Independent World, January 2, 2009 (I seem to be having trouble believing in this man's sincerity!)

Israel tells Gaza to brace for escalation Weary Palestinians watched from apartment windows as thousands of leaflets fluttered from aircraft with a blunt warning: Israeli forces will step up operations against Islamic militants who have unleashed a daily barrage of rocket fire on southern Israeli towns.

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN! You wouldn't never see dreadful pictures of dead children and their screaming distraught mothers in Gaza which is almost impossible in the US. The images are truly horrific. But Ms Livni doesn't want us to see them. Nor do most western governments. She declared that "when you show one-sided images from Gaza you're not helping peace. I understand that pictures which create provocation lead to anger and hostility among the citizens, but we want a better future for this region." In other words ~ don't look at pictures that tell the truth because they will make you angry about people who blast children into ragged fragments. What we don't see, says Livni, won't harm us, which is the theme of authoritarian censors through the ages. This woman, with all the compassion of a raging shark that has smelled blood in flesh-strewn water, is furious that pictures have appeared in public of mangled bloody bodies of children slaughtered by her country in its frenzy of vicious bombing and rocketing. But they'll never be seen by most Westerners because the Zionist owned media outlets don't want to upset readers and viewers with the truth. Nor, of course, do they want to upset Israel, that bastion of kindly morality which wields so much influence over US politicians that they dare not speak out against air strikes that kill children.

WAR STRAINS GAZANS' SURVIVAL SKILLS Bombardment has badly disrupted flow of electricity and water. Salwa said she added extra salt to the cooking water in the belief that it would help rid it of germs. Many Gazans have taken to boiling drinking water too, since local water authorities warned of deteriorating quality last week. She said she tries to feed the kids as late in the day as possible so they do not go to bed hungry. MSNBC, January 12, 2009

 

 GAZA OFFICIALS: MASSIVE SEWAGE FLOOR IMMINENT

Due to the ongoing Israeli invasion of Gaza, nearly 700,000 Palestinians have gone without water for days, and sewage pumping systems have stopped. In many places, raw sewage is running through the streets, and officials have warned that a massive sewage flood, like the one in 2007 that killed 5 people, could occur at any time. Local officials report that both fresh-water pumping systems that provide water to the residents of Gaza, and sewage pumping systems, pumping out human waste water, are on the verge of collapse in many areas. The biggest waste water treatment plant, in northern Gaza, was supposed to have been emptied a month ago due to the potential for flooding. Now, the risk of breakage and flooding has reached a crisis, with 10,000 people at risk if a flood does occur. IMEMC News, January 10, 2009

Death toll in Gaza exceeds 800 Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor working at Shifa hospital in Gaza City, told Al Jazeera: "We have been to many war zones, but the special thing is that the 1.5 Gaza population are completely locked in. "The civilian population has no way to hide. The population density is so high you can not do attacks like this without knowing that you are attacking the civilians. Also, the injuries must come from extremely explosive devices. We suspect that Israel is using a new type of high explosive called Dime [dense inert metal explosive]. We urge the world to stop the bombing of Gaza. Please stop it." Global Research, January 11, 2009

SOON WE WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO RUN. NO PLACE IN GAZA IS SAFE.

I used to say we would never leave our home, but when you see everyone else on the move, how can you stay? Barely a week since my father was killed by an Israeli air strike on our small northern Gaza farm as the ground invasion began, we were facing another terrible dilemma. I thought of the Samouni family, killed last week while sheltering in a house together, and decided we had to go. I took Alaa's jewellery, my laptop and phone, my notes and papers and some clothes. ~ Leaving your home like this is pitiful; you feel almost ashamed. But there's no mercy with the Israelis in this operation. Previously, they weren't so harsh on civilians. But now, although they say they target Hamas, they target anyone.

Barack Obama ~ Obama's Speech at AIPAC Now is the time to be vigilant in facing down every foe. Now is the time to stand by Israel as it writes the next chapter in its extraordinary journey. Now is the time to join together in the work of repairing this world.

GAZA UNDER FIRE: CHILDREN FOUND NEXT TO DEAD MOTHERS Four small starving children too weak to stand were found next to the bodies of their dead mothers by ambulancemen who had been trying to reach their Gaza neighbourhood for four days after it came under Israeli attack, the Red Cross said yesterday. In what the International Committee of the Red Cross called a "shocking incident", another man, also too weak to stand, was found in the same bombed house, along with at least 12 corpses on mattresses. The Independent World, January 9, 2009

Blue Star Rampage: Israel's dress rehearsal for Lebanon The reason the rationale for invading Gaza keeps changing, (from rocket-fire to Hamas infrastructure to strengthening deterrents to weapons smuggling to ceasefire violations etc) is because the Israeli leadership wants to conceal the true objective. The purpose of "Operation Cast Lead" is to conduct a dress rehearsal for another invasion of Lebanon. Global Research, January 10, 2009

The Target is Iran: Israel's Latest Gamble May Backfire The aerial war against Gaza launched by Israel just after Christmas, and the ground offensive, with which it rang in the New Year, were shocking in their brutality, but should constitute no surprise, if viewed from the standpoint of long-term Israeli strategic aims. The Israelis have argued that the offensive was launched in response to eight years' of relentless attacks by Hamas rockets into Israel. But then, one asks: why now? Why should they wait eight years? Perhaps the massive military onslaught, which has killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded thousands, has nothing to do with Kassam rockets. Perhaps it is not a tactical military operation by Israel, but a strategic decision on the part of Israel's Anglo-American backers, whose ultimate aim is war against Iran. Global Research, January 12, 2009

 

I'll be speaking from my heart, and as a true friend of Israel. And I know that when I visit with AIPAC, I am among friends. Good friends. Friends who share my strong commitment to make sure that the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable today, tomorrow and forever. ~ Barack Obama ~ Obama's Speech at AIPAC
