De Israelische Terreur 85

En de Israelische terreur gaat op grote schaal door. Financieel, politiek, militair en economisch gesteund door Europa en de Verenigde Staten, weet 'de joodse natie' dat er geen echte consequenties zijn verbonden aan hun terrorisme.

Gaza, repeated, ad infinitum. Nora Barrows-Friedman writing from Deheisheh Refugee Camp, occupied Palestine, Live from Palestine, 13 July 2006

We woke up this morning to the footage. No less than six hours after we watched, live, the Israeli bombing of a Gaza building last night, the same rogue military turned its jets north to Lebanon to inflict the same. Forty-seven people -- yes, 47 -- have been killed in Lebanon already as i write this. No doubt this is just the beginning.The footage: a man, covered in chalky soot from the Israeli leveling of ahome, carried in his arms the limp body of a toddler. Her arms danglingheavy in his arms, her mop of hair covering her face. Hair that hermother, also killed in the bombing, must have brushed carefully beforebedtime, unable to predict that neither of them would exist only hourslater. i found myself wondering what a last bedtime lullaby sounds like.This is the policy. It is clear that families are the bullseye. Israelkilled 24 people yesterday, including an entire family in Khan Younis, inthe middle of the besieged prison of the Gaza Strip. Mother, father,children. All wiped out. Several days earlier, the same story -- a familytrying to enjoy a bit of a respite between shelling, barbecueing corn onthe cob in their backyard, when a missile landed on their heads. And whocan forget, before the official Israeli seige began late last month, the June 9th explosion on the Gaza beach, which killed seven members of the Ghaliyafamily -- the young surviving girl running frantically between the slicedand charred bodies of her father and mother, six-month-old brother. That young girl, still in chronic shock, has not forgotten. Gazans do not forget.As Israel maintains its ethnic shredding policy, irregardless of age orgender or political affiliation or shoe size or eye color, the international community forgets about Gaza, forgets about Iraq, forgets about Lebanon, about the decades of occupation and sanctions and displacement and expulsion, forgets about the deals made and deals broken, the fake treaties and cynical lip service, about the long lists of international laws carefully applied to other nations but not the US, not Israel. They forget about our snakey and quiet exemption to the Geneva Conventions, the blood that runs in the sewers of Abu Ghraib, of Baghram, of Guantanamo, of Ansar III, of San Quentin, of Santa Rita, of Pelican Bay, of Angola.'

Uiteindelijk gaat Israel deze strijd verliezen, ten koste van veel bloed. De vraag is alleen wanneer de machtige pro-Israel lobby in de wereld dit gaat inzien. Die gebruikt een kleine natie voor haar eigen politieke agenda.
