'Gaza is a jail. Nobody is allowed to leave. We are all starving now'

By Patrick Cockburn in Gaza

09/08/06 "The Independent" -- -- Gaza is dying. The Israeli siege of the Palestinian enclave is so tight that its people are on the edge of starvation. Here on the shores of the Mediterranean a great tragedy is taking place that is being ignored because the world's attention has been diverted by wars in Lebanon and Iraq.

A whole society is being destroyed. There are 1.5 million Palestinians imprisoned in the most heavily populated area in the world. Israel has stopped all trade. It has even forbidden fishermen to go far from the shore so they wade into the surf to try vainly to catch fish with hand-thrown nets.

The deadly toll

* After the kidnap of Cpl Gilad Shalit by Palestinians on 25 June, Israel launched a massive offensive and blockade of Gaza under the operation name Summer Rains.

* The Gaza Strip's 1.3 million inhabitants, 33 % live in refugee camps, have been under attack for 74 days.

* More than 260 Palestinians, including 64 children and 26 women, have been killed since 25 June. One in five is a child. One Israeli soldier has been killed and 26 have been wounded.

* 1,200 Palestinians have been injured, including up to 60 amputations. A third of victims brought to hospital are children.

* Israeli warplanes have launched more than 250 raids on Gaza, hitting the two power stations and the foreign and Information ministries.

* At least 120 Palestinian structures including houses, workshops and greenhouses have been destroyed and 160 damaged by the Israelis.

* The UN has criticised Israel's bombing, which has caused an estimated $1.8bn in damage to the electricity grid and leaving more than a million people without regular access to drinking water.

* The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem says 76 Palestinians, including 19 children, were killed by Israeli forces in August alone. Evidence shows at least 53 per cent were not participating in hostilities.

* In the latest outbreak of violence, three Palestinians were killed yesterday when Israeli troops raided a West Bank town in search of a wanted militant. Two of those killed were unarmed, according to witnesses.


My comment:

Could anybody in the west (the so called free nations) say that Israel is not a terrorist state?

A true word from an Israeli murderer

I found an interesting quote from David Ben Gurion (a founder of Israel i.e. a murderer):

'Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?'

A Fair Man talking about The Truth of the Israeli war on Lebanon

This is a fair man talking about the truth.

Please see this clip from Sky News for Mr. G. Galloway showing the truth about the war Israel made on Lebanon.

These are the words of truth showing how Israel is a terrorist state and cheating the world to kill more arabs & occupy more of the arab land.

ISRAELIS vs ARABS --- WHO ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS?

By: Hal Turner

(Why would rational human beings, given a choice, choose to attack their neighbors rather than live together in peace? More pertinent, why would a rational human being choose to blow himself up rather than live? The Israelis, the US media and our politicians would have us believe that the Arabs are simply not rational. They routinely tell us that Arabs are "religious fanatics" who "hate freedom" or "hate our way of life" to quote George W. Bush. These arguments are fallacious and intellectually bankrupt.

The reason for Arab against Israeli violence is simple: The Israelis have been systematically repressing and brutalizing hundreds of thousands of Arabs on a scale unparalleled since World War 2. I have the proof. )

This is a qutaion from an interesting article.

Hamas is not a terrorist organization.

Is Hamas a Terrorist Organization?
By Mike Whitney

09/01/06 "Information Clearing House " -- -- The Bush administration should seriously consider removing Hamas from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. Most people don’t realize that Hamas (Islamic Resistance Party) has kept its truce with Israel and stopped all suicide bombing missions for over a year and a half. Their restraint shows that they are serious about finding a peaceful way to resolve the decades-long dispute.

Despite Hamas’ attempts to forgo violence, Israeli attacks on Palestinians have increased dramatically since Hamas was elected in January 2006. Israel refuses to recognize the democratically-elected parliament and has done everything in its power to remove them from office. This is why the United States should get involved and persuade Israel to accept the sovereign right of the Palestinian people to choose their own representatives. Removing Hamas from the terrorist list would be a good first step in this effort. It would acknowledge Hamas’ transformation into a political organization and deny Israel the moral justification for kidnapping officials in the Hamas government. Over 64 party officials and members of parliament have been abducted in the last two months.

This must stop. The Bush administration needs to act as an “honest broker” and show that it is willing to back up its rhetoric about “spreading democracy” in the Middle East.

My comment:

That is a very rational and wise analysis by Mr. Mike. I wish it will find an ear of some wise people who influence Israel terrorism too.
