srael's Shameful Attack on Gaza


What insane brutality by the state of Israel; even the PMs daughter protests her father's policies.

Mike Whitney: Israel's Shameful Attack on Gaza: (Full Artcile)

'We are sure that Israel is using a new chemical or radioactive weapon in their operation. When we try to X-ray dead bodies, we find no trace of shrapnel that hit the person killed.' Dr. al-Saqqa, Shifa hospital, Gaza; following the examination of the 'completely burnt' bodies of dead Palestinians killed in Israeli air raid.

Question: How many editorials or op-ed columns have appeared in American newspapers defending the rights of Palestinian civilians to live in peace without the constant threat of being invaded or shelled by the world's forth largest military?

None.

How many editorials or op-ed columnists have defended the Geneva Conventions or international laws against collective punishment, the willful destruction of critical infrastructure, or military maneuvers that deliberately put civilians in imminent danger?

None.

Then how many editorials or op-ed columnists have presented the recent flurry of events (including the capture of Israeli soldier Galid Shalit) in the broader context of Israel's ongoing boycott of food and medical supplies, as well as the 50 or so Palestinian civilians who have been killed in Israel's regular incitements in the occupied territories?

None
