Gaza Invasion 359

 in Uncategorized by

CNN just announced that Israeli is launching a ground invasion “after ten days of Hamas attacks by land air and sea.” There was no questioning of that quite incredible statement. Talk about the big lie.

In a strange way I prefer this to the continued aerial bombardment, because at least the Palestinians will be able to fight back to some extent. I do hope the Palestinian defenders have a good deal of success against the Israeli tanks. Let us hope the IDF get a bloody nose like they did in Lebanon 2006.

UPDATE

The heroic Israelis have killed a five month old baby with a tank. Hope they are very proud of themselves.

    Relish the thought of Blair having to take refuge in the Saudi Embassy for a few years, Ba’al. 🙂

    Sinn FĂŠin’s four MEPs – with other members of the GUE/NGL group – standing in solidarity with the people of Gaza in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg

    Martina Anderson, MEP for the Six Counties, said:

    “Gaza is once again at crisis point, and millions worldwide are protesting in solidarity with the people of Gaza amid this appalling carnage.

    “The Joint resolution by the EU Parliament on the situation in Gaza is an awful attempt to neutralise the onslaught to avoid criticising Israel and it ignores the causes of the conflict. This EPP and S&D cosy consensus is disgraceful.

    “The UN must recognise that Israeli actions have violated international law. For too long the UN and the wider international community has watched the blockade of Gaza; watched an apartheid wall being built; watched as road blocks were erected and segregated buses introduced.

    “We have witnessed Israel demolishing thousands of Palestinian homes and force thousands of families from their land to build Israeli settlements. All of this is in violation of the 1993 Oslo Accord.”

    I relish it. But it does not delight me. Delight would involve sharp instruments and a long time.

    Just a reminder to anyone who wants to avoid buying products that are made in Israel: The bar code will start with 729 even if it is not clear from other info on the packaging where the product originates.

    Here’s Cherie, for a change, last December, in Saudi, offering her thoughts on pirated designer handbags. At the

    Arab-British Chamber of Commerce International Intellectual Property Conference “Combating Transnational Intellectual Property Crime”, no less.

    Transnational Physical Property Crime isn’t on the radar, apparently:

    Thanks, Matt. I’ll take care to leave the discards (eg an orange) in some other shelf or stack (eg condoms), too.

    How fucking noble of CNN not to show the faces of those retards cheering someone else dying. I bet they would be happy to film those vermin, the Palestinians if the boot was on the other foot.

    I’m guessing the cheering is from mentally retarded atheists, because good old fashioned Jewish/Israeli people, people of God, wouldn’t cheer at at the prospect of others being murdered……

    What a fucking disgusting area? on both sides.

    Oh and who exactly is paying for B’Liar, the Peace Envoy?

  • nevermind, it will happen anyway

    “The only thing that might halt Israel is effective resistance on the ground. They are too used to being able to kill thousands of Palestinians with no casualties themselves.”

    Agree, so who will start the fundraising and training of some resistance fighters?
    Who will disinvest first from all those countries supporting Israel, those who arm it? and thereby harm Israels future prospects of survival, subsumed by eternal violence.

    Only when they sit down at the table and accept that Palestine is a country for all its people, not just immigrant Jews, but also indigenour Palestinians.

    So who will roll the first rubel to launch this ‘effective resistance’?

    If you have not already, you need to watch this.

    Legal analysis of how Israel changes the status of civilians to combatants or ‘voluntary human shields’ and their deaths to ‘collateral damage’ to justify air strikes on homes. Forensic analysis of the ‘Knock on the Roof’ tactic.

    http://vimeo.com/93150954

    Chilling. So the most moral army in the world have two hurdles for their defence. If the occupants stay in the house after the ballasted ’round’ penetrates the roof, they are designated ‘human shields’. I think of that boy with his dad in Rafah – pinned against a house and both shot like rats.

  • Mary

    An anecdote.

    Jabah Wisha a deputy in PCHR was in a prison of the Zionist entity for 15 years. He is one of those 600,000 who have been through the cruel prisons of a people who tell us endlessly about their own imprisonment. When he kissed his youngest daughter good bye he smelled her hair. He said that smell lasted in his mind in all those years in prison. I have no words for these Israelis but speak of the British part in their Occupation of the Palestinian people’s land and homes.

    “Christ. Just. Christ.”

    Yes, Twitter doesn’t spare people when it comes to photos and details.

    This 5 hours ago from Peter Beaumont, Jerusalem correspondent of the Guardian and the Observer:

    “I’ve seen some truly shocking scenes this morning. A man putting the remains of his two year old son into a shopping bag…”

  • Seydlitz

    The Zionist are racist scum the American neocons are fascist bastards the british media are complicit in war crimes. The destruction of the Malay airlines is a nasty thing but all hand wringing and false melodrama just shows how the west deflect any criticism away from the real murder and slaughter Whitch the Palestinians have been suffering for decades . American navy shot down an Iranian airliner the captain was treated as a hero the Ukraine shot down a russian airliner but at the time no great deal was made of it. the bbc news is nothing but go state functioning propogander machine which we who pay the licence must contribute,Maybe one day the so called great british public will wake up .and see what a filthy and corrupt system we live under.

  • Fedup

    That should be ‘Is America Israel’s Puppet’

    It is a lot more cheaper for mad zionists to buy a few politicos who will sell their grandmother for peanuts, along with a couple of news organisations. Then they don’t have to pay the going rate for the land they steal and they can get away with the mass murder to boot, whilst everyone is sitting around and watching the smoke filled skies of Gaza, much for the delight rabid zionist population of the zionistan.

    God bless this man. He is heroic. You can feel his anguish for the suffering.

    Subject: Gaza needs you!

    Dearest friends –
    The last night was extreme. The “ground invasion” of Gaza resulted in scores and carloads with maimed, torn apart, bleeding, shivering, dying – all sorts of injured Palestinians, all ages, all civilians, all innocent.

    The heroes in the ambulances and in all of Gaza’s hospitals are working 12-24hrs shifts, grey from fatigue and inhuman workloads (without payment all in Shifa for the last 4 months), they care, triage, try to understand the incomprehensible chaos of bodies, sizes, limbs, walking, not walking, breathing, not breathing, bleeding, not bleeding humans. HUMANS!

    Now, once more treated like animals by “the most moral army in the world” (sic!).

    My respect for the wounded is endless, in their contained determination in the midst of pain, agony and shock; my admiration for the staff and volunteers is endless, my closeness to the Palestinian “sumud” gives me strength, although in glimpses I just want to scream, hold someone tight, cry, smell the skin and hair of the warm child, covered in blood, protect ourselves in an endless embrace – but we cannot afford that, nor can they.

    Ashy grey faces – Oh NO! not one more load of tens of maimed and bleeding, we still have lakes of blood on the floor in the ER, piles of dripping, blood-soaked bandages to clear out – oh – the cleaners, everywhere, swiftly shovelling the blood and discarded tissues, hair, clothes, cannulas – the leftovers from death – all taken away…to be prepared again, to be repeated all over. More then 100 cases came to Shifa last 24 hrs. enough for a large well trained hospital with everything, but here – almost nothing: electricity, water, disposables, drugs, OR-tables, instruments, monitors – all rusted and as if taken from museums of yesterdays hospitals. But they do not complain, these heroes. They get on with it, like warriors, head on, enormous resolute.

    And as I write these words to you, alone, on a bed, my tears flows, the warm but useless tears of pain and grief, of anger and fear. This is not happening!

    And then, just now, the orchestra of the Israeli war-machine starts its gruesome symphony again, just now: salvos of artillery from the navy boats just down on the shores, the roaring F16, the sickening drones (Arabic ‘Zennanis’, the hummers), and the cluttering Apaches. So much made and paid in and by US.

    Mr.Obama – do you have a heart?

    I invite you – spend one night – just one night – with us in Shifa. Disguised as a cleaner, maybe.

    I am convinced, 100%, it would change history.

    Nobody with a heart AND power could ever walk away from a night in Shifa without being determined to end the slaughter of the Palestinian people.

    But the heartless and merciless have done their calculations and planned another “dahyia” onslaught on Gaza.

    The rivers of blood will keep running the coming night. I can hear they have tuned their instruments of death.

    Please. Do what you can. This, THIS cannot continue.

    Avaaz petition at 224,330. One of the fastest-moving I’ve ever seen.

    Worth watching: Glenn Greenwald on Democracy Now: Why Did NBC Pull Veteran Reporter After He Witnessed Israeli Killing of Gaza Kids?

    http://www.democracynow.org/2014/7/18/glenn_greenwald_why_did_nbc_pull

    He talks about the fear in American media when the subject of Israel comes up. And the difference social media makes. People on the ground reporting direct to Twitter etc.

    Guano,

    We all have faults and Robert Graves certainly had some. The quote was from King Jesus, which is a difficult but interesting read. I happened to be reading it today and posted the curious words in it about Jews and Palestine. It was just a little something out of nowhere, a few words of support.

  • Fedup

    Who is who of the rats knackers shameless bastards facilitating genocide and getting away with it;

    FDD’s founding Chairman was Jack Kemp, and its founding board members included Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick.

    FDD’s current Chairman is former CIA director R. James Woolsey.

    FDD’s distinguished advisors include Sen. Joe Lieberman, former National Security Advisor Robert “Bud” McFarlane, former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh, former State Department Under Secretary Paula Dobriansky, Gen. P.X. Kelley (ret.), Francis “Bing” West, Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol, former CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Richard W. Carlson, and Forbes CEO Steve Forbes.

    Have set up yet another vipers nest, and pushing the neo conservative agenda.

    Clifford D. May: Sixty-six years later, too many Arabs still dream of slaughtering Israel’s Jews

    Julius Streicher would have to go back to school to learn from these propagandists;

    …. I’m impressed: I ask him what is required to achieve this dream. He disappoints me: He doesn’t say that Hamas needs to stop firing missiles at Israeli population centers. He doesn’t say that Hamas needs to delete from its charter its vows to “obliterate” Israel and kill all the Jews. He says nothing about Hamas’ insistence that there “is no solution for the Palestinian question except through jihad” and its unequivocal rejection of “so-called peaceful solutions.” Nor does he offer any criticism of “moderate” Fatah for joining with Hamas in a “unity government.”

    Instead, he asserts that the only way to resolve the conflict is for Israel to “end the occupation,” and shut down the “settlements.”

    When will this kind of facilitators of crimes against humanity stand trial in the ICC?

    Note the phtoshoped image In case anyone skipped the long farticle to take away the message!
