Israeli Attack on Gaza: 2014 Version

[Peter Lemkin]

1050 dead [over 85% non-combatants], untold thousands injured, tens of thousands homeless - having lost their homes entirely. Disgusting! - as is the silence of all too many countries, as well. This occupation, illegal confiscation of country, homes, property, lands and dignity must be ended. How the British [especially] can play blind to who is really the 'terrorists' here is amazing - as the Israelis clearly directed terrorist actions against the former British forces there, as well as at the Palestinians (who 'magically' and counter-intuitively (sic) had longed lived in a 'land without people, for a people without a land'). History and historical myths are written by the powerful to the disadvantage of those with less power. This racist apartheid system must end. If one has not, please find and see the fantastic film called 'The Promise' or watch several great documentaries - with documentary footage [available on Al Jazeera and internet] - of Israeli removal of the Palestinian people from their homes and cities, confiscation of their books and culture, destruction of their businesses and way of life, killing of many of them, ghettoization of the rest, continued repression and collective punishment, and refusal to even acknowledge let alone compensate/correct these historic and ongoing injustices.
