Israel On Killing Spree In Gaza

[Peter Lemkin]

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/22/pa...llege_grad We return to the heart-wrenching tale of Amer Shurrab, who lost two of his brothers on the same day in an Israeli attack in Gaza. Amer is a Palestinian from Khan Yunis living in the United States. He recently graduated from Middlebury College. On Friday, his father and two brothers were fleeing their village when their vehicle came under Israeli fire. Twenty-eight-year-old Kassab died in a hail of bullets trying to flee the vehicle. Eighteen-year-old Ibrahim survived the initial attack, but Israeli troops refused to allow an ambulance to reach them until twenty hours later.

This is a War Crime - clear and simple...and the entire operation in Gaza over the years is Genocide [as is the Occupation everywhere]. I condemn the Govt and IDF of Israel in the stongest possible terms - this from a Jew [and proud to be!] and the nephew of the the man who coined the word 'Genocide' and wrote the Genocide Convention at the UN! How 'we' ever came to inflict on other innocents what the Nazis, and others, have inflicted upon us shows me that we are not special in any way - but as flawed as any group in humanity [though it saddens me to say!], and hope we find our way back to peace, justice, international law and apologize for our sins, war crimes, and genocide. There is also the Wall, the Occupation, Lebanon, support of South Africa, collaboration with neo-fascist elements in US intelligence and Warrior classes. If any People should know better, it is we. I weep for our crimes. Here are details of 2 out of the recent 1300 dead and 7000 wounded: http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/22/pa...llege_grad
