Israel has once again unleased terror on the Gazan ostensibly because of the ineffectual and usually non-lethal Qassam rockets that are notoriously unreliable. So what is the real reason for the assault on Gaza.
… “at 11:30 a.m., more than 50 fighter jets and attack helicopters swept into Gazan airspace anddropped more than 100 bombs on 50 targets. . . . Thirty minutes later, a second wave of 60 jets and helicopters struck at 60 targets . . . More than 170 targets were hit by IAF aircraft throughout the day. At least 230 Gazans were killed and over 780 were wounded . . .” Jerusalem Post ( December 26),
The issueis the same cycle of violence that has kept the world hostage. Israel periodically drums up war hysteria to prevent any semblance of civility in the West Bank and Gaza. The aim is to disrupt daily life anddemoralize the denizens into giving up their dream of an independent homeland called Palestine. For about half a century each successive Israeli government has a laundry list of excuses not to give up occupation. First it blamed all Palestinians as terrorists, then it blamed various factions of the PLO, then it blamed Yasser Arafat as a bad partner for peace, then it balmed the civil strife between the PLA and the Hamas. Now of course it blames the Qassam rockets from Hamas.
Ehud Barak, who is overseeing the latest act of Israeli aggression, said in interviews addressed to the British and American publics that asking Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas would be like asking the US to agree to a ceasefire with al Qaeda. The terrorism that Israel inflicts on Palestinians goes unremarked.
According to the London Times (December 28), “Britain and the United States were on a collision course with their European allies last night after refusing to call for an end to Israeli airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza. The wave of attacks marked a violent end to President George W. Bush’s sporadic Middle East peace efforts. The White House put the blame squarely on Hamas.” The British government also blamed Hamas.
For the US and UK governments, Israel can do no wrong. Israel doesn’t have to stop withholding food, medicine, water, and energy, but Hamas must stop protesting by firing off rockets. In violation of international law, Israel can drive West Bank Palestinians off their lands and out of their villages and give the stolen properties to “settlers.” Israel can delay Palestinians in need of emergency medical care at checkpoints until their lives ebb away. Israeli snipers can get their jollies murdering Palestinian children. Counterpunch. America’s Crimes “Never Happened”: May We No Longer Be Silent By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
There are no rockets in West Bank. The Israelis are not vacating that despite hollow promises by President Bush that there would be a Palestinian state by 2009. 2nd term presidents free of the lobbyist’s pressures can and have put pressure on Tel Aviv to make concessions to the Palestinians. However President George W. Bush and Ms. Condaleeza Rice squandered the last four years not even moving the Middle East Peace process a millimeter.
There is no audacity of hope in the new government and the new presidency. The president who did find the time to talk about the college bowl had only a curt “no comment” about the plight of the Gazans who are without food and medicine and face the lethal bombings from the most sophisticated planes on the planet.
What is worse is the disgusting coverage of the carnage on Fox and CNN. It was truly horrible to see the anchors who always take an extra Prozac pill when talking to Arabs. Each time the rudeness is raised to higher level and the charm reserved for the Israeli diplomats. All this is making netwrok news irrelevant.
The assault on the Gaza Ghetto, planned over six months and executed with perfect timing was designed largely to help the incumbent parties triumph in the forthcoming Israeli elections. The dead Palestinians are little more than election fodder in a cynical contest between the Right and the Far Right in Israel. Washington and its EU allies, perfectly aware that Gaza was about to be assaulted, as in the case of Lebanon a few years, sit back and watch. Washington, as is its wont, blames the pro-Hamas Palestinians, with Obama and Bush singing from the same AIPAC hymn sheet.
The EU politicians, having observed the build-up, the siege, the collective punishment inflicted on Gaza, the targeting of civilians, etc [See Harvard scholar Sara Roy's chilling essay in the latest LRB] were convinced that it was the rocket attacks that had ‘provoked’ Israel but called on both sides to end the violence, with nil effect. The moth-eaten Mubarik dictatorship in Egypt and NATO’s favourite Islamists in Ankara, failed to even register a symbolic protest by recalling their Ambassadors from Israel. China and Russia did not convene a meeting of the UNSC to discuss the crisis.
As result of official apathy, one outcome of this latest attack will be to inflame Muslim communities throughout the world and swell the ranks of those very organisations that the West claims it is combating in the ‘war against terror’. Official Apathy: The Gaza Ghetto and Western Cant

The issues in Gaza are not therockets or the militants of Hamas. It is the Occupation of Palestinain lands by Israel.

May the Lord avenge the Palestinians against the Jewish fanatics who’ve always exceeded bounds throughout their history. Only God can deal with their crimes and plots.
Zionism Judaism is responsible for almost all the bloodshed occurring throughout the world as we speak.
Zionist America and its allies are a disgrace for being the backers of this terrorist, illegal state founded on the principle of barbarism.
Israel’s 60 year existence has shown that this beastly society is not fit to exist in the ‘community of nations’.
The world except for Zionist America, has had enough of their crimes. The decent countries of the world, if there are any left, should go into ‘Israel’ and send them all back to Europe, America and Ethiopia. It is not their country and they have no right to be there.
The state of Lucifer has just started a ground invasion of Gaza. If only they would be struck down by the bubonic plague, pestilence, Ebola or something
For All The CIVILISED societies of the world,
Its beyond my meagre comprehension, that all these , western governments who are so quick to respond , once their even single citizen is victimized anywhere on globe, let alone killed. BUT once it comes to Israel their governments, behave worse than most rogue elements, who have no concern for human misery whatsoever.
Whats the reason ? Can you all even look in the mirror without a pang of guilt, or is this BABBLING about CIVILISED society all reserved for what suits your intersts. certainly it is.
I am amazed at what money can buy. Jewish people really know how to pull the right strings. They realised it a long time ago that you hold a nation, economy hostage and the rest would follow.
