Save Israel

[daboyz 36]

Starvation is one of the weapons used for genocide, it is too sad that Israel is using it against Gaza now.

You're fighting a losing battle. I give you credit though. This battle needs to be fought in the US. As soon as the us pulls the 3B in aid things will change. Until then, the master of the dog will let them run wild. Its almost funny. I see us/israel as the same as china/north korea. They're will be more emails. Probably bulletd as well funded by the US

If you think US/Israel is like China/North Korea you are seriously misled. Palestinians are as poorly led as North Koreans, after that, the parallel pretty much falls apart.

Do you honestly believe that Israel will kill everyone in the Gaza Strip?

And if you do...

Do you believe man has never walked on the moon?

Do you believe George Bush arranged 9/11?

Do you believe India caused the 2004 Tsunami through a nuclear experiment?

A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence engulfs its bystanders. "Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide," wrote the former senior UN relief official Jan Egeland and Jan Eliasson, then foreign minister of Sweden, in Le Figaro. They described a people "living in a cage", cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little water, and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by Israeli troops and planes.

Egeland and Eliasson wrote this four months ago in an attempt to break the silence in Europe, whose obedient alliance with the United States and Israel has sought to reverse the democratic result that brought Hamas to power in last year's Palestinian elections. The horror in Gaza has since been compounded: a family of 18 has died beneath a 500lb US/Israeli bomb; unarmed women have been mown down at point-blank range. Dr David Halpin, one of the few Britons to break what he calls "this medieval siege", reported the killing of 57 children by artillery, rockets and small arms and was shown evidence that civilians are Israel's true targets, as in Leba non last summer. A friend in Gaza, Dr Mona el-Farra, emailed: "I see the effects of the relentless sonic booms [a collective punishment by the Israeli air force] and artillery on my 13-year-old daughter. At night, she shivers with fear. Then both of us end up crouching on the floor. I try to make her feel safe, but when the bombs sound I flinch and scream . . ."

When I was last in Gaza, Dr Khalid Dahlan, a psychiatrist, showed me the results of a remarkable survey. "The statistic I personally find unbearable," he said, "is that 99.4 per cent of the children we studied suffer trauma. Once you look at the rates of exposure to trauma you see why: 99.2 per cent of their homes were bombarded; 97.5 per cent were exposed to tear gas; 96.6 per cent witnessed shootings; 95.8 per cent witnessed bombardment and funerals; almost a quarter saw family members injured or killed." Dahlan invited me to sit in on one of his clinics. There were 30 children, all of them traumatised. He gave each a pencil and paper and asked them to draw. They drew pictures of grotesque acts of terror and of women streaming tears... http://www.newstatesman.com/media/2007/01/pilger-genocide-gaza-palestine

I guess I'm misled. Thanks.

Why doesn't Isreal give up the land it stole since 1967 and allow Palestine to be created?

i'm thinking that Isreal is thinking that they'll gain nothing, zippo from this for the Pals and the arabs will whine about other things. after the Pals get their state they'll continue to moan so there is zippo gain for Isreal for a Pal state... zippo!

Isreal could create the Pal state, pave the Pal state's street and sidewalks, install a great infrastructure, build them public buildings and parks and the Pals and the Arab world still would want Isreal to leave the ME so again... a Pal state has zippo benefits for Isreal.

Unfortunately both sides need all the land and control of water that they can get. Growing populations, in what in a climate not much better than a desert, its going to remain the point of contention.

Remember those high-tech greenhouses Israeli settlers built in Gaza, that provided employment for Palestinians and produced an amazing assortment of fruits and vegetables in the midst of barren desert? The ones that rich Westerners (like Bill Gates) bought and presented to the Palestinian Authority when Israel withdrew from Gaza?

After the looting and burning, here’s how they’re now being used.

Here is one photo.

Basically when Israel removed 8,000 of their people from Gaza, they were destroyed by Palestinians.

Now I'm really lost. Looks like a guy with a bunch of sheep in a rose garden. I thought I was drunk.

"High-tech" is only of use if you have a base of educated people (or the means to obtain higher education) and the storage and transport infrastructure to make proper use of it. Seeing as Gaza doesn't have that and it's infrastructure is in an appalling state - in part because of bombing and also because building materials are considered contraband under the Israeli blockade - these things are not much more than PR initiatives.

That doesn't really "fix" it though - all it does is play a game of "he did it first".

How does anyone expect the Israelis and the Palestinians to reach some kind of lasting solution to their dispute when observers from first world nations, with little, if any direct investment in it or the outcome are unable to frame their debates in anything but adversarial terms?
