Israel's Dogs of War

Wed, 2009-01-07 09:16 | Sonja Karkar

Israel’s dogs of war have been baying for blood for some time now. They have sniffed their prey with ravenous lust as if they have been the ones starved of food instead of the Palestinians whom they have primed for slaughter. Now the pack is encircling Gaza, teeth bared and snarling, while others do their dirty work from the skies. To them, the blood of women and children smells the same as that of the menfolk who fight to defend them. Writes Sonja Karkar

Poster from the first Intifada

The first Palestinian intifada (uprising or shaking off) erupted dramatically on 9 December 1987 after twenty long years of brutal Israeli military occupation. The Palestinians had had enough. Not only had they been dispossessed of their homeland and expelled from their homes in 1948 to make way for the boatloads of European Jewish immigrants flooding into Palestine on a promise of a Jewish state, they had been made to suffer the indignities of a people despised and rejected by the whole world.

The pauperization of Palestine

Mon, 2008-10-27 09:27 | Sonja Karkar

''Prevented from producing and competing with Israel's economy, the Palestinians became forced consumers and this is perpetuated by foreign aid. Effectively international donors foot the bill while Israeli companies profit from the desperate need of an entire population under Israel's occupation. ''

Sonja Karkar writes on what is less widely known - Israel had created a Palestinian economy deeply dependent on its own during the previous 30 years'.
