Slow Death in Gaza

Joe Hill · 06-05-08, 08:48 AM

AIPAC disinfo agents are successful in controlling the US MSM message about the Israeli Occupation and ghettoization of its Palestinian prisoners. Increasingly, supported by US ZioCon money and arm-twisting, they are imposing their control over EU governments as well. But the people of the world remain overwhelmingly opposed to Apartheid lawlessness in Palestine.

"The Europeans seem to be quite satisfied acting as America's puppet states."

By Margaret Kimberley

No change in American policy is on the horizon, as "the rot in America goes beyond this administration, and so does the rot in Israel." The "abomination," as Desmond Tutu describes it, against 1.6 million people in Palestine shows the hypocrisy of American and Israeli pretenses to civilization.. . . .(MORE)

In the opinion of many, the US mainstream media are highly biased on the subject of Israel as this excellent 9-minute video illustrates:

YouTube - US Media Bias Israel Palestine

And this study...

"This study consists of a statistical examination of ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News coverage of the first year of the current Palestinian uprising, and of their coverage of that uprising in 2004. The categories examined are coverage of conflict deaths and, as a subcategory, children’s deaths. Our findings indicate significantly distorted coverage by all of these network news shows."

Gee, if I were you I would try focusing my efforts on getting the Palestinians to take responsibility for their own plight rather than continuing to blame others.

But that's not the Palestinian way, is it?

So, we will continue to have a terrorist organization leading their people down the wrong path but begging the world to give it legitimacy.

You'd have a better time trying to convince us that the KKK deserves sympathy.

And for those who hadn't realized it, "Hamas is worse than the KKK."

YouTube - Hamas exposed

Hamas is the Islamic KKK. Hamas is worse than the KKK. While the KKK calls for black people to be treated as second-class citizens, Hamas calls for not just the destruction of Israel but for the killing of every Jew. This is from NPR radio, which inevitable shows the incitement of Hamas TV while doing an objective report on hamas TV. Here Hamas TV is calling for the spread of Islam, calls for the world to dominated by their form of Islam, calling it world revolution, which the Communists used to mean to make the whole world Communist, and calls for the destruction of Israel. After seeing this very important report, do you expect Israel to negotiate with Hamas. I don't agree with NPR on everything. It is a neutral radio station and website and this report is accurate. You can hear Hamas TV in the background while hearing them translate it.

Gee, I should think that any people who have experienced the violent conquest and theft of their land: the humiliation, brutalization, and ghettoization of their populace by the foreign occupiers supported by a Militarist foreign Superpower/Puppet as being totally sane in their violent resistance to their death and the death of their children. Seems totally rational to me. Were we to do any less here we would be the basest of cowards. Kind of like the "IDA" when confronted with real Hezbollah soldiers in their invasion of Lebanon. "Bullies" and "cowards" applies so well to NeoCons and ZioCons.

Seems credible to me...

"If Americans Knew was originally founded by an American freelance journalist, Alison Weir, who traveled independently throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip in February and March of 2001. Ms. Weir found a situation largely the reverse of what was being reported by the American media. Upon further examination of this issue – she read dozens of books on the topic – she found that the U.S. press portrayal was significantly at odds with information being reported by media throughout the rest of the world."

“Ms. Weir presents a powerful, well documented view of the Middle East today. She is intelligent, careful, and critical. American policy makers would benefit greatly from hearing her first-hand observations and attempting to answer the questions she poses.”--Tom Campbell, Former Congressman and Dean of Haas School of Business

Other board members include:

Former eleven-term Illinois Congressman Paul Findley, (former senior member of the House Middle East Committee) recognized as one of our nation’s foremost experts on US foreign policy regarding the Middle East.

Ambassador Andrew I. Killgore who served as a career foreign service officer and as a U.S. Ambassador. In 1982, he co-founded the award-winning Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Ambassador Killgore also received the prestigious “Foreign Service Cup” in 1997.

Lol. Reads like a Pravda piece from the 1960s.

Just admit you love the struggle and that it makes you feel you have a just cause for doing what you like doing.

Any other reason sounds like B.S. to me. Because we ALL know that peace is within your grasp. All you have to do is renounce violence and agree to recognize Israel's right to exist in peace and you will have peace and you will have land.

What you WON'T have is an excuse to hate.

And that is why you don't make peace.

You LOVE to hate.

Joint letter to George W. Bush on the situation in Gaza:

Quote:

Dear President Bush,

We are writing to you on the occasion of your forthcoming visit to Israel to urge you to exercise your influence to reverse Israel’s closure policy towards the Gaza Strip and to disassociate the United States from that policy. Israel’s comprehensive restrictions on the movement of goods and people, including fuel and other civilian necessities, have produced a devastated economy and a severe humanitarian crisis there. These restrictions constitute collective punishment against the civilian population, a serious violation of international humanitarian law...

...Mr. President, we understand that Israel’s punitive measures are ostensibly directed at the Hamas de facto government in Gaza as well as other armed groups, but these measures have caused grave harm to the 1.5 million civilians who reside there. As a strong ally of Israel, you are in a unique position to urge Israel to cease the unlawful closure it has imposed on the Gaza Strip. We urge you in the strongest terms to make clear that the United States cannot support or in any way be party to such a clear violation of international humanitarian law.

Yours sincerely,

/s/
