Israel’s Gaza Massacre: We Will Never Forget

An excellent video montage clip of Israeli's Gaza Massacre during Operation Cast Lead. It showcases notable media moments during Israeli's bloodthirsty assault. The world is finally waking up and having enough of this madness. Please watch the entire clip (9 mins)

BBC = Biased Broadcasting Corporation

Incase you've missed it, BBC has been exposed as a Zionist "independent" news corporation.



The BBC’s director-general, Mark Thompson, refused to air the appeal due to risking compromising it's impartilaity. Well that explanation totally blew up in his face. Thompson is a long time friend of the Israeli Zionists. He met up with Ariel Sharon back in 2005 in order to build bridges between Israel and the BBC.

That Mark Thompson has been supporting Zionist leaders is no secret. In fact, Mark Thompson’s wife, Jane, is Jewish and a fanatic supporter of Zionist policies. Is Mark simply trying to appease his wife? If he is, then this has to be one of the most outrageous acts in the history of British media. The glaring disregard for human suffering, however, can only be explained by Mark Thompson’s close relationship with Israeli leaders. In 2005, Mr. Thompson broke all rules of independent journalism when he travelled to Jerusalem and met former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in order to “build bridges” between the BBC and Israel. This unprecedented move was not covered by Western media, but the Israeli press gave it significant importance

Shame really, the reputation of the BBC has been hit pretty hard by this incedent. Just another biased independent media outlet.

50 MPs and thousands of British Citzens (including Archbishop of York and Canterbury) complained and demanded for the BBC to air the appeal, but it's still a no go.

Here's the appeal that risked compromising the BBC's impartiality (or more like risk making Tzipi Livni statement of there being no Humanatrian Crisis in Gaza totall bullshit)

Palestinians Will Never Forget

By Susan Abulhawa

How can anyone watching Gaza burn escape the bitter realization that history repeats itself? Many have compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to Apartheid South Africa. But not in their cruelest hour did the Apartheid regime wreak such wanton murder and destruction. Let us stop mincing words. What is happening to Palestinians now whispers of Warsaw and Lodz.

Schools, universities, mosques, police stations, homes, water treatment plants, factories, and anything that supports civil society, including the only mental health clinic in Gaza, have been blown to rubble from planes that rain death from clear skies without any resistance, because Palestinians have no opposing air force. Nor do they have an army or navy. No mechanized armor or heavy weaponry. Thanks to Israel, they haven’t even had continuous electricity or fuel for the past two years. Or food and medicine. Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza has prevented the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza, including the import of the most basic goods necessary for survival.

A recent study by the Red Cross showed that 46 percent of Gazan children suffer from anemia. Malnutrition affects 75 percent of Gaza’s population, half of whom are under the age of 17. There has been widespread deafness among children due to Israel’s intentional and frequent sonic booms from low overflights. An alarming number have stunted growth and serious mental disorders due lack of food. The only way they have been able to survive thus far has been due to the tunnels that smuggle food and goods from Egypt.

Half of Gazan children under 12 have lost their “will to live.” Can anyone fathom the kind of oppression that leads small children en mass to lose their will to live?

This is what Israel has done to Gaza over the past two years. They ghettoized Gaza and turned it into an open air prison – a concentration camp of civilians with no way to earn a living, no way to defend themselves and no place to run from the slaughter bombarding them from air, land, and sea. From the white phosphorous disemboweling young and old alike.

But Gazans dared to try to resist with pathetic homemade rockets that, until Israel’s barbaric attack, generally landed in open desert. The rockets were mostly symbolic of resistance, very much like the fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. But who would have called on a ceasefire there, in 1943, for “both parties” to “cease the violence”? Who would have blamed the Ghetto fighters for their ultimate fate? Who would say they had no right to resist? No right to fight back?

Just as Nazis gave Jews only the right to die silently, Israel starves and besieges Palestinians, giving them only that same right. Just as the Warsaw Ghetto was blown to rubble, Gaza is left to burn in an inferno, its hospitals bursting with the puss of death and unspeakable wounds. The entire population of Gaza is terrorized and traumatized. No one is spared the insecurity and fear. Imagine, please, that you are a Gazan.

What have Palestinians done to deserve such a fate? To be endlessly hunted like animals? To have their homes demolished, their ancient history and heritage cast into forgotten space? To languish in refugee camps and slums, while Jews from all corners of the earth flock to fill their confiscated homes and farms? To be tortured, imprisoned, and denied in every conceivable way?

What have we done that leaders will not speak against this massive and cold aggression against our people? With what logic do you call Palestinians terrorists when their streets flow with the blood of their own children? When they have been stripped naked of possessions, dignity and hope?

Why? Because they elected Hamas? Hamas has held power for less than two years. Yet, Palestinians have suffered this kind of slaughter for 61 years. Whether now in Gaza, in 2002 in Jenin, in 1947 and 1948 in Deir Yasin, Balad el-Sha, Yehida, Tantura, and the list goes on. Or 1982 in Sabra and Shatila.

Palestinians are killed as if insects not because of Hamas or Yasser Arafat before them. Not because of Qassasm rockets or hand thrown rocks. Palestinians burn and bleed because they are the non-Jewish natives of that land. There is no other reason. Just like Jews were killed for being Jewish. Palestinians are killed for being the Muslims and Christians who hold historic, legal and even genetic title to that land.

But unlike Jews of Europe, Palestinians are killed slowly over decades. Unlike Israel, Nazi Germany did not establish such an effective global propaganda machine that would demonize its victims and blame them for their own ghastly fate. But most importantly, like the fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto, Palestinians do not march like mice to their death. In six decades of enduring unspeakable oppression, their will has not been broken. Now is no exception.

Israel, and the United States with its unconditional support, will only succeed in radicalizing a whole new generation of its victims. Of revving world hatred and resentment against this unholy duo.

Palestinians will not forget this, as they have not forgotten the past 60 years. But what will you remember a week or a year or a decade from now, when a Gazan, who stood before the long rows of corpses and vowed vengeance, creates your 9-11? When one of those few million children without a will to live straps on a belt that rips through your daily routine? Will you remember what we did to them?

Advantages of slaughter

There are a few advantages coming out of the slaughter:

1. Jewish apologists no longer have any possible ammunition to argue against academic boycotts, as the Israeli version of a boycott is a bomb dropped on a university or school.
   
2. There is nothing bad you can say about Israel or Jewish support for Israel, no comparison you can make to the worst holocausts in history, that can live up to the blood-dripping from-the fangs evil. Israel and the Jewish people - and Jewish support for the Palestinian holocaust puts the full blame on the Jewish people - are as evil as it gets, and everybody knows it.
   
3. I've been called an anti-Semite for daring to speak of Jew-controlled politicians and Jew-controlled media. No more of that. I blame the crypto-Zionist 'progressives' for much of the horror, all because they couldn't accept the truth about Jew control and wanted to show off how 'progressive' they were. When every mainstream media outlet and every major politician spouts exactly the same made-in-Israel words, words that are patently bullshit, which everybody knows are patently bullshit, and in direct contradiction to the knowledge and understanding of the vast majority of the population (less vast, of course, where decades of Jew-controlled media malfeasance have misled the people), there is only one possible explanation: Jew control. Let's shout it, unapologetically, from the rooftops. I await the abject apologies from everybody who has accused me of being an anti-Semite.
4. Sanctions, divestment and boycotting are now commonly discussed, and millions of people are now newly politically aware, and mobilized, on the issue. The demonstrations in Europe were amazing and, again, highlight Jew-control, as the Jew-slave politicians are so obviously out of line with their electorates. One would hope that the mass realization that both the mainstream media and all major politicians have been bought and paid for by World Jewry would lead to a further realization that these lying Jew-slaves need to be replaced, pronto.
   
5. We're witnessing the death of the Chomskean lie that all political evil flows out of the United States. While the Bush Administration, in its death throes, has managed one final embarrassment to the United States (one for which Americans will be paying for decades), this one is entirely to be blamed on Israel and World Jewry. Again, while acknowledging the evil of the United States in blessing this monstrosity, everybody knows who is really to blame.
   

We can't forget that the slaughter is encouraging a deep examination of the psycho-killer psychology of Israel and World Jewry, which, just as in the case of many psychopaths, is tinged with self-righteousness. An example of the new analysis is Gideon Levy:

"You can't have it both ways. The only 'purity' in this war is the 'purification from terrorists,' which really means the sowing of horrendous tragedies. What's happening in Gaza is not a natural disaster, an earthquake or flood, for which it would be our duty and right to extend a helping hand to those affected, to send rescue squads, as we so love to do. Of all the rotten luck, all the disasters now occurring in Gaza are manmade - by us. Aid cannot be offered with bloodstained hands. Compassion cannot sprout from brutality.

Yet there are some who still want it both ways. To kill and destroy indiscriminately and also to come out looking good, with a clean conscience. To go ahead with war crimes without any sense of the heavy guilt that should accompany them. It takes some nerve. Anyone who justifies this war also justifies all its crimes. Anyone who preaches for this war and believes in the justness of the mass killing it is inflicting has no right whatsoever to speak about morality and humaneness. There is no such thing as simultaneously killing and nurturing. This attitude is a faithful representation of the basic, twofold Israeli sentiment that has been with us forever: To commit any wrong, but to feel pure in our own eyes. To kill, demolish, starve, imprison and humiliate - and be right, not to mention righteous. The righteous warmongers will not be able to allow themselves these luxuries.

Anyone who justifies this war also justifies all its crimes. Anyone who sees it as a defensive war must bear the moral responsibility for its consequences. Anyone who now encourages the politicians and the army to continue will also have to bear the mark of Cain that will be branded on his forehead after the war. All those who support the war also support the horror."

Self-righteousness is the defining characteristic of Zionism (just read anything by Dershowitz; it is almost funny). They won't be able to get away with it any more.

The final advantage of the slaughter is that people are finally considering what is to be done to Israel to punish it for what it habitually does - another advantage of the slaughter is that the entire history of Zionism is being reanalyzed as part of a pattern of psychopathic murderous compulsion - and stop it from reoffending.

A note of caution. The lite Zionists are gearing up to protect Zionism by ensuring that the sanctions on Israel amount to no more than ineffective boycotts (especially so as boycotting Israel is illegal in the United States). They will purport to be outraged, and purport to be dealing with the problem, all the while doing what they always do - protecting the project of Greater Israel which they all secretly support. We can't let them get away with this. We now know that Zionism is an incurable violent psychological illness, and Israel will not stop murdering. Zionism has to be stopped. Permanently. The only way to accomplish this is to make a Jewish state in the Middle East impossible. We need to be figuring how to do this in the most humanitarian way, while acknowledging that there will inevitably be millions of Jewish refugees. As terrible as that is, Israel and World Jewry have made it necessary.

Jews protest against Israel and Zionism

A must watch vid, differntiate between Jews and Zionists.



What the noble Rabbi says in the vid rings true with Phat's blog post late last year titled (Mother of all Relegion). The post has since been published as an article in an ezine (which we kinda didnt mention before lol) and can be viewed here for those who wanna reread it --> http://www.thearabzine.com/?p=80

IDF vids

An arabic message from IDF to the people of Gaza. Brainwashing at it's best. The Israeli's are not given enough credit for their puppeteering talents.



Another vid from the IDF desk. They realeased this on the 6th of Jan after the shelling of the U.N school which killed over 40 people, mostly children, whom were taking shelter in the school from the fighting.



and now, take a look at this, quoted from a Haaretz article on the 9th of Jan

In briefings senior [Israel Defense Forces] officers conducted for foreign diplomats, they admitted the shelling to which IDF forces in Jabalya were responding did not originate from the school," Gunness said. "The IDF admitted in that briefing that the attack on the UN site was unintentional."

He noted that all the footage released by the IDF of militants firing from inside the school was from 2007 and not from the incident itself.

Any outrage in the world?

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

It's all good =) A simple little mistake, just a few scared palestianans killed. No biggie.

Illegal weapons in the war against Gaza

I just had to quote the whole article...

"The Israeli Defense Force is using white phosphorus on built up areas in Gaza. They've denied it, sort of, by saying only that Israel is using "munitions that are allowed for under international law". Israel isn't a signatory to key arms control treaties, upheld by most of the rest of the world, which govern the use of WP and other chemical weapons. So those treaties can be ignored in favor of long-planned PR spin. Both the US and Israel claim that using WP as a smokescreen generator isn't prohibited by any treaties and they're correct - as long as the WP isn't being employed over built up areas, at which time the indiscriminate nature and incendiary anti-personnel effects of these airbursts make them illegal by the Geneva Conventions governing responsibilities towards civilian non-combatants and by article two, protocol III of the 1980 UN Convention on Certain Weapons. That is, a war crime.

That distinction came up in Fallujah, Iraq during 2004 when US forces initially said they were using white phosphorus only as a smokescreen, later on admitting reluctantly that it had also been used as an anti-personnel weapon on insurgents. The US military never officially admitted to using WP on civilian areas, however, despite numerous reports of second and third degree chemical burns consistent with WP use.

Incandescent particles of WP cast off by a WP weapon's initial explosion can produce extensive, deep (second and third degree), burns. Phosphorus burns carry a greater risk of mortality than other forms of burns due to the absorption of phosphorus into the body through the burned area, resulting in liver, heart and kidney damage, and in some cases multi-organ failure.[26] These weapons are particularly dangerous to exposed people because white phosphorus continues to burn unless deprived of oxygen or until it is completely consumed.

Earlier, the US had no problem with saying that Saddam's use of WP on civilian areas had been an atrocity, a war crime.

Now, it looks like the IDF isn't just using the same weapons over built up areas, it's using the same excuses. Compare this footage from Gaza:

With this from Fallujah in 2004.

They show identical patterns of glowing airbursts leading to explosive incendiary effects on the ground over a wide area, as do many of the photos from Gaza. That pattern is of the US-made 155 mm M825A1 smoke WP projectile.

Let us all be clear about something.

The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime.

Moreover, the people Israel claims are legitimate targets are members of Hamas, which Israel says is a terrorist organization. Hamas has been responsible for firing rockets into Israel. These rockets are extremely inaccurate and thus, even if Hamas intended to hit military targets within Israel, are indiscriminate by nature. When rockets from Gaza kill Israeli civilians, it is a war crime.

But the debate really does resolve down to this question from the movie "Night At The Museum" - who is evolved? Who is the terrorist and who has the moral high ground? Descending to the tactics of terrorism can never defeat terrorists. As we've seen in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere such tactics only ever create a new generation of hardliners on both sides willing to use conflict to their own ends. In Israel's case, right now, the hardliner's purpose isn't defeating Hamas - it is winning an election. To that end, Israel is using a definition of "enemy combatant" wider than any in common useage.

The International Committee of the Red Cross - guardian of the Geneva Conventions on which international humanitarian law is based - defines a combatant as a person "directly engaged in hostilities".

But Israeli Defence Forces spokesman Benjamin Rutland told the BBC: "Our definition is that anyone who is involved with terrorism within Hamas is a valid target. This ranges from the strictly military institutions and includes the political institutions that provide the logistical funding and human resources for the terrorist arm."

Philippe Sands, Professor of International Law at University College London, says he is not aware of any Western democracy having taken so broad a definition.

"Once you extend the definition of combatant in the way that IDF is apparently doing, you begin to associate individuals who are only indirectly or peripherally involved… it becomes an open-ended definition, which undermines the very object and purpose of the rules that are intended to be applied."

That means that Israel will continue indiscriminately burning down the house in Gaza, with predictable consequences:

The scene on Sunday at the hospital, a singular and grisly reflection of the violence around it, was both harrowing and puzzling. A week ago, when Israel began its air assault, hundreds of Hamas militants were taken to the hospital. Yet on Sunday, the day Israeli troops flooded Gaza and ground battles with Hamas began, there appeared not to be a single one.

The casualties at Shifa on Sunday — 18 dead, hospital officials said, among a reported 30 around Gaza — were women, children and men who had been with children. One surgeon said that he had performed five amputations.

“I don’t know what kind of weapons Israel is using,” said a nurse, Ziad Abd al Jawwad, 41, who had been working 24 hours without a break. “There is so much amputation.”

White phosphorus burns to the bone."

Mother of All Religions.

Once upon a time, everything was so serene and calm in my holy homeland, a country that so many are ignorant of. Especially its people whom were newly born, in the 20th century, in different countries. They sadly never get to live and see with their very own eyes how much of an astonishing place their country was. How their country was something everyone wanted to be back then..

People just like me, Born into total ignorance blinded by the surrounding needs and of course self needs without knowing the truth until I found myself with no identity. So when I got a glimpse of truth three years ago, I was really disappointed as well as amused at how we have become and what was of us back then. To find that we are nothing but pawns created by pawns.

History of my homeland, Palestine, isn’t something to be told in a day or two; hence I decided to only talk about one thing – in this article - that most “Arab” countries couldn’t achieve while we did without a notification. Seldom do I remember seeing an Arab country in the age where I came to being that has what we once called "total peace". No, I’m not talking about diversity here, I’m not talking about Canada or the US or even Palestine now. No, I’m not talking about the oppressiveness we kept experiencing nor the wars that we went through. I’m talking about something that would most likely unite everyone: Religion.Yes, the unity of religion, even with all the differences.

October 1921, 78% of Palestine were Muslims, 11% Christians and 9.6% Jew. Back then, before even 1948, when the Jew kept immigrating to Palestine with the notion that it’s their holy mother land which their religion originated from, everyone lived together happily and without any kind of discrimination. Sadly, some nonsense got propagated back then by Zionists, a myth if you want to rephrase. Something that states ‘A land with no people is for a people with no land’ meant by Palestine of course. This myth was created to make Palestine become more filled with Jews. It made European Jews rise its overall population in the country to 16% in 5 years. They later increased to 30% in ten years. Palestine at some point had all the major three religions together, though due invasion that dissapeared. However, it’s a fact that everyone was together once upon a time. Britain only made Jews increase as well as the conflict in the country increase. Although it was never 100% fight-free between both sides, Jews and Muslims, in Palestine, but it became worse because of the Jews came through invasion by Britain.

In my opinion, those whom believed they belong to Palestine, those of “Jews Diaspora” and others, had immigrated normally like how people decide to reside nowadays in Canada and the US, none of those small fights would’ve occurred. We had Palestinians who were Jews, Christians and Muslims living all happily together to the point that Christians and Jews used to celebrate Eid Al Fitir with Muslims and Muslims used to Celebrate birthdays and Easter with them as well. Friends with different faiths used to fast together just so they could all eat together. Our country was full of mixed people due to its historical events. It was truly a holy homeland, mother of religions. People would come every year to pray in Jerusalem, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Some facts about each religion changed again due to culture clashes that I will discuss about later on.

Personally I think the only way to erase every single conflict right now (though it’s impossible and very difficult and I guess many would disagree because it’s so hard to forget what we’ve been through or how many sufferings we survived) is to let go of the conflicts and fights between all religions and just let each supplicate to god in their own way. Unite both flags with all three religions with a symbol that would represent Palestine, ancient Palestine.

Note: Pic is taken 1947 in Hayfa where it includes people who are christians and muslims.

Another honorable picture to share is:

Michel Ayoub, a christian palestinian guy who loves his country and who works as a "Masaharaty" for all religions including Islam. A masaharaty is person that wakes people up at dawn in order to eat and drink water so they can fast for the day.
