De Israelische Terreur 55

Dit is Name:Laila El-Haddad. Location:Gaza City, Occupied Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territory
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one. Ik kreeg van een goede kennis van me Trees Kosterman die in Israel woont deze weblog opstuurd. Nu de Nederlandse media er niet in slagen onafhankelijk en evenwichtig te berichten over bezet Palestina kunt u altijd even kijken wat Laila uit eigen ervaring te berichten heef. Helaas moet ze vluchten voor het Israelische geweld maar ze heeft goede contacten die haar kunnen vertellen wat er in Gaza gebeurt: 'Bracing for the worst-electricty cut off, bridges bombed, sonic boom attacks resume
In process of packing and moving down to North Carolina on Thursday...and writing some columns and lengthier post on the situation back home...but for now...just a brief post:Friends and family in Gaza have told me they are bracing themselves for the worst, while praying for the best. In Rafah, the refugee camp that has not been spared the wrath of the Israeli Army on so many occasions in the past, where 16, 000 Palestinians lost their homes to armoured bulldozers, families have holed themselves indoors, fearing for their lives. Israel has taken control of the border area, including Rafah Crossing, and the Airport. Colleague, friend, and activist Fida Qishta with whom I toured the northeast US is on her way to Egypt, where she will have to remain until she will be allowed to enter her home in Gaza in Rafah by Israeli forces, who have sealed off the Gaza Strip in its entirety. I was worried about her safety, since she is from Rafah, but I received a frantic telephone call from her in London airport where her flight was delayed, and where is making plans to remain exiled in Egypt. Meanwhile, journalist colleagues have told me that CNN and BBC crews from Jerusalem were also not allowed through the Erez Crossing into Gaza yesterday.UPDATE: Israeli F-16s bombed Gaza's main bridge, right next to my father's farm, between northern and southern Gaza. They have also destroyed Gaza's ONLY power plant, and electricity in most of Gaza has been cut off as a result. I've just spoken to my grandmother in Khan Yunis, who confirmed the entire Strip has plunged into darkness, with people stocking up on food and supplies. The electricity of course has also been cut off in hospitals and clincs, though I'm not sure how long the generators can last. Friends in Gaza City also tell us that terrorizing sonic boom attacks have resumed, stronger than before, full force, by low-flying jets breaking the sound barrier throughout the night over the civlian population-illegal in Israel, the united States, and most all of the world.FYI I have re-enabled comment moderation due to spamming of the comment section.'
