Israel Does Not Target Civilians?

Israel Treated Gaza Like Its Own Private Death Laboratory

Erik Fosse, a Norwegian cardiologist, worked in Gaza hospitals during the recent war."It was as if they had stepped on a mine," he says of certain Palestinian patients he treated. "But there was no shrapnel in the wound. Some had lost their legs. It looked as though they had been sliced off. I have been to war zones for 30 years, but I have never seen such injuries before."

Dr. Fosse was describing the effects of a U.S. "focused lethality" weapon that minimizes explosive damage to structures while inflicting catastrophic wounds on its victims. But where did the Israelis get this weapon? And was their widespread use in the attack on Gaza a field test for a new generation of explosives?

Tony Benn Accuses BBC of Appeasing Israel

A former British Cabinet minister says the BBC seeks to appease Tel Aviv by refusing to broadcast a humanitarian appeal for Gaza.

The BBC has sparked controversy by refusing to broadcast a charity appeal for the victims of the war on Gaza.

In a Saturday interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation, former Labour MP Tony Benn attributed the BBC refusal to claims made by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni that there is no humanitarian crisis in the territory.

The former Cabinet minister lashed out at the network, saying that the BBC "betrayed" its public service obligations by refusing to broadcast the humanitarian bid -- which has left aid agencies with a donation shortfall of millions of pounds.

Palestinian Children Found With Bullets In Their Heads

Doctors operating the only brain-scanning machine at an Egyptian hospital near Gaza have been almost overwhelmed by the number of Palestinian children arriving with bullet wounds to the head.

On just one day last week, staff at the Al Arish hospital in Sinai were called to perform CAT scans on a nine year old, two 10 year olds and a 14 year old, each of whom had a bullet lodged in their brain after coming under fire during the Israeli ground assault on Gaza.

Israeli Bullshit Piles High: Hamas Killed Palestinian Children To Make Israel Look Bad

The End of Hypocricy: Crime's Gleeful Abandon In Gaza

More and more, comment on Israel's savage attack on the people of Gaza seems superfluous. The facts -- even the modicum of facts that can be gleaned through the deadly wall of Israeli censorship and the perverse and sinister distortions of the American media -- speak loudly, with horrifying clarity, for themselves. We are witnessing monstrous crimes, committed with cold deliberation: a bloodthirsty spectacle of unbridled terrorism, openly celebrated by the political and media elites of Israel and America.

This is, of course, the same kind of moral insanity that has raged around the American terrorist attack on Iraq for many years. It is the same moral insanity that guides the actions of power in many lands, in increasingly brazen and unapologetic ways, with less and less of the shamefaced furtiveness that once surrounded such abominations as military aggression, torture, "ethnic cleansing" and other crimes of power down through the centuries. This furtiveness was hypocrisy, of course -- but in hypocrisy there remains some vestige of the morality it falsely purports to uphold, some awareness that an evil thing is being done which must be hidden or disguised.

The New Nazis

Knowing the documented truth about the creation of Israel by Zionist terrorism and ethnic cleansing, and watching - mainly thanks to Al Jazeera and Press TV live feeds - the war on Gaza, Israel's latest display of state terrorism, I have come to a conclusion. It is time to give Israel's hardcore Zionists their real name. They are the New Nazis.

Hear, O Israel!!

Hear, Hear O Israel!

You have massacred infants and blamed their parents for itsaying that they used them as shields. I can think of nothing,nothing more disgraceful.Only in the space of a generation, in the name of that suffering,you have caused suffering to others: you have hermetically sealed themin a territory, and you started to slaughter them with the most sophisticatedof arms, indestructible armoured tanks, state-of-the-art helicoptersbrightening the night-time sky as if it were day, to strike them more efficiently.But 668 dead Palestinians and 4 dead Israelis is not a victory, it’s just a defeat for you and for humanity as a whole.

Hear, O Israel!

I do not repudiate my history, or that of my family, which hadundergone the Shoah. But I repudiate you, the Israeli State, because youbelieved that to make the credit of the Shoah mature, you wouldbe allowed to rid yourself of the Palestinian people and occupy their land.But that is not the way things operate, life does not work that way. The people of Israelhave to live their own lives and not live by means of the deaths of others.

Hear, O Israel!

I do not repudiate my history, or that of my family, which hadundergone the Shoah, but today I am Palestinian. I am on the sideof the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance. I am with theheroic resistance of the Palestinian women who kept on giving birthto little Palestinian girls and boys in the refugee camps, in the villagesfrom which you had uprooted their olive trees, stolen their land. I am with the thousandsof Palestinians jailed in your prisons for having only resistedyour annexation plans.

Hear, O Israel!

There will be no Israel without Palestine, but there could be Palestine without Israel, because your credit, by now completely dried upby your mad and suicidal policies, was not towards the Palestinianpeople who never raised a finger against you, but it was towards the peopleof Germany, Italy, Poland, France, Hungaryand Europe in general; and they are to be blamed for their inaction.Hear, O Israel, hear these names: Deir Yassin, Tel al-Zaatar,Sabra and Chatila, Gaza. They are some names, names writtenin the annals of history, thatwill be voiced every single time one sees the name: Israel.

Israeli MP Advocates Nuking Gaza

"We must continue to fight Hamas just like the United States did with the Japanese in World War II," Lieberman added. "Then, too, the occupation of the country was unnecessary."

In 1945, Japan unconditionally surrendered to the US following two atomic bomb attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. A ground invasion of mainland Japan had been prepared at the time, but was avoided due to the Japanese capitulation after the bombings.

Aiding and Abetting a Holocaust

Palestinians are being killed like insects not because of Hamas. 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 (in Europe) for being Jewish, notes Tariq A. Al-Maeena.
