Israel's righteous fury and its victims in Gaza

"My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice -- even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza." Writes Ilam Pappe

"Creative anarchy" in the Gaza Strip

What is happening in Gaza today is really catastrophic. The systematic destruction of holy places, schools, universities and the killing of innocent Palestinians are war crimes whose perpetrators must be brought to justice. We Palestinians appreciate the efforts of everyone in the free and civilized world to do what you can to intervene to stop this aggression, and bring the war criminals to trial in an international court.

Dr. Akram Habeeb writes from the occupied Gaza Strip.

Israel’s onslaught on Gaza will fail

Israel’s decision to launch its devastating attack on Gaza on a Saturday was a “stroke of brilliance,” the country’s biggest selling paper Yediot Aharonot crowed: “the element of surprise increased the number of people who were killed.” The daily Ma’ariv agreed: “We left them in shock and awe.”

The UNSC statement after a closed door meeting on the Isareli massacres in Gaza was a predictably bland statement as the US would never agree to anything smaking of censure of Israel. But other elected members also succumbed to US pressure. Writes Thalif Deen in the Electronic Intifada.

Caution: Settlers Ahead

The ideological settler movement is, in many ways, holding together the fragile house of cards that is Israel. It has worked for a while, but it will not work forever. In front of this house we can add one
more sign: "Caution: Collapse of Zionism Ahead."
