Gaza, the killing field!
By Rev. Richard Skaff
Global Research, January 18, 2009
“Killing one Palestinian is pollution, but killing all Palestinians is
the solution.” This was the motto of Ariel Sharon’s Israeli army and
their Lebanese militia cohorts during the 1982 massacres at the Sabra and
Shatila camps in Beirut. After these infamous massacres, the Israeli
government established the Kahan commission to investigate, and
subsequently found Israel indirectly responsible for the event, and also
found Ariel Sharon to bear personal responsibility as the defense minister.
Ariel Sharon was a friend of the Bushes. As a matter of fact in 1998
Governor George W. Bush visited the Middle East , and took a helicopter
tour of the region with Ariel Sharon. Before he left the US, Bush joked
that the first thing he would do when he reached the Middle East was to
tell his hosts that they were all “going to hell.” (He meant the
Palestinians and all of the Arabs). [1].
Sure enough, and lucky for Israel, George W. Bush defied the odds and beat
his brother Jeb to the number one job that every Bush aspires for, “the
presidency of the United States.” John Ellis Bush (Jeb) was the one who
was originally groomed by his father to be president. However, don’t
count him out yet, because it is predicted that he will become president in
2012 or 2016.
George W. the allegedly Christian man in heart and in rhetoric has endorsed
for the past eight years the persecution and the killing of Palestinians
and Muslims in general, in order to please his neocon financiers and
masters, so he can be assured of two terms in the white house, and not
become a second term loser like his father. These historical statements
that were discussed above have been a reflection of what has been taking
place in the death camp of GAZA for the past two weeks.
On the morning of 01-15-09, Israel shelled the United Nations headquarters
in the Gaza Strip, engulfing the compound and a warehouse in fire and
destroying thousands of pounds of food and humanitarian supplies intended
for Palestinian refugees. Another Israeli bombardment on Thursday allegedly
killed the Hamas security chief. U.N. workers and Palestinian firefighters,
some wearing bulletproof jackets, struggled to douse the flames and pull
bags of food from the debris after the Israeli attack, which was another
blow to efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. [2].
On 01-16, 2009, medical sources in Gaza reported that Palestinian deaths in
the Gaza Strip have passed 1,000, as Egypt continues its efforts to broker
a ceasefire. Nearly a third of the dead are reported to be children and
nearly 5,000 people have been injured. After talks in Cairo , Hamas
officials said they were happy with the broad outlines of an Egyptian
initiative but that details remained to be worked out. Israeli negotiators
are to visit Cairo to discuss Egypt 's proposal. The Ministry of Health in
Gaza said 1,013 people have died in the conflict which started 19 days ago.
[3].
On the 17th of January, "a truce was finally reached between the Israelis
and Hamas. Though both sides continued fighting right up until the official
start of the Gaza ceasefire, which took effect at 7:00 PM Eastern, calm has
prevailed in the first few hours, neither side has reportedly attacked the
other, and there is hope, however fleeting, that the fighting in the Gaza
Strip may finally be over." [4].
Analysis:
So what was the purpose of the conflict? Besides killing Palestinians,
destroying Gaza ’s infrastructure, starving and torturing 1.5 million
people, what was accomplished?
Apparently, Hamas remains defiant and intact, despite the Israeli claims of
killing hundreds of their fighters. Interestingly, the media in the US and
Israel has blacked out the ongoing protest of Israeli citizens against the
brutality of their Apartheid government, however, CNN has accidentally
insinuated yesterday that the blame falls on Israel for starting the war,
after a series of provocations by their military.
Is it possible that Hamas the organization that was created and financed by
the Israeli many years ago to undermine the late corrupt Yasser Arafat’s
PLO, remain loyal to their masters? Could it be that by creating
provocations and continuous conflict with the Israelis, Hamas will help
Israel justify it’s aggression against the Palestinians as well as their
total conquest of the resources and of the land?
In the last eight years, the Israelis were given the green light by the
Bush administration to eradicate the Palestinian population. With the help
of Hamas, they have developed killing fields like Gaza to bury as many
bodies as they could, and always under the guise of safety and National
security. They mastered the art of state terrorism and renamed it
collateral damage. They also mastered all of the Nazis’ torture
techniques and rendered the holy land of Palestine into a shameless killing
field. They have reenacted their holocaust by attempting to eradicate the
Palestinian population and/or rendering it into a powerless, small and
insignificant subhuman specie that they can displace at anytime to anywhere
else in the Middle East (per example Jordan or Lebanon), or make them
accept any little piece of land that the Israelis will be willing to give
up.
In reality, Israel is a political entity that was created by the
Anglo-American establishment to control the oil rich region, and to keep
the Muslim world subdued by their proxy. Israel is not the Promised Land
for the Jews as widely propagated and claimed by our misinformation media
outlets. The reality is that America was, still is, and will always be the
“Promised Land.”
