WELCOME MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS
Step Inside - Step Inside
Welcome to August, 2014. You will find that this is actually formed from recycled November 2012, plus recycled December 2008 - January 2009. I sit helpless as over another three weeks of 'fighting' has resulted in almost 2,000 Palestinian dead.
I am pleased that another three day 'truce' is starting. I hope everyone realises that HAMAS cannot control some of the other more radical organisations in Gaza. I hope that there will be discussion on lifting the Seven year siege on Gaza. It was promised in 2012, but it was never implemented — in part because of sporadic rocket attacks by various armed factions in Gaza. [www.winnipegfreepress.com - dated 10th August,2014]
The world and his wife says "but then HAMAS is responsible for the civilians killed by the Israeli reprisals". How foolish those people are. They are blinded and baffled by the usual 'numbers' answer given by Israel to justify its continuing Genocide.
"HAMAS fired 100 rockets" moans Israel who retaliated with 'only' 10 shells. But they obliterated numerous homes, because as Joan Rivers said "They started it!"
DON'T BE SUCKED IN BY ISRAELI NUMBERS.

** Power plant - previously bombed out of action back in 2006, too, during Israel's 'Summer Rain' offensive.
WHY ISRAEL MUST LIFT THE SIEGE OF GAZA
- People die as a direct result of this day in, day out - 24/7.
- People die at the borders controlled by Israel while trying to cross for life-saving medical treatment.
- Imagine if it was your child who died after waiting days at the border because the Israeli border guides would not let you pass?
- The seven year siege is EVERYTHING.
- If HAMAS bow to the will of Israel and simply agree a 'quiet' - the people who died in the past three weeks will have died for nothing.
- If Israel want a lasting 'quiet' all they have to do is agree to discuss the siege with a view to loosening it's stranglehold on Gaza.
- What do HAMAS and the PLO mean when they say they want to "eradicate Israel"?
- I stand with them.
- I hope to see the eradication of the NAME Israel.
- THE NAME - THE FAKE NAME FOR THE LAND OF PALESTINE.
- Israel murdered the 'two-state solution' by continuing to build illegal (under international law) settlements by stealing more and more of the Palestinian's land in the West Bank.
- Now that Israel 'owns' 90% of the land and controls 100% of it.
- A two state solution is impossible.
NOW ONLY A ONE STATE SOLUTION IS POSSIBLE.
- The Country is PALESTINE.
- A One State Solution - A Secular State of Palestine.
- Example: Do away with the NICE NEW ROADS for the use of Israelis with pot-hole dirt tracks for the use of Palestinians so that everyone can use them!!
- Who cannot say that is Fair and Just?
- Who in their right mind can NOT support apartheid roads?
- Who in their right mind cannot support the right for trade into and out of Gaza?
- Who in their right mind can disagree that medicines, and ALL hospital requirements should to be allowed freely into Gaza?
- In Gaza none of these things have been allowed in and products have not been allowed out.
- Why?
- Because Israel is the Jailer of Gaza.
I can understand, even if others can't that if the 'peace talks' do not include Israel agreeing to discuss the siege, there is no point in HAMAS meeting them and there is no point in HAMAS stopping firing it's (almost always) 'November 5th' Rockets, even if it means more attacks by Israel.
And please do not forget (for those who actually knew in the first place) that if a child is over the age of SIX, this is the FOURTH 'war' they have witnessed.
- 1) Operation 'Cast Lead' - December 2008 - January 2009 This was a horrible conflict, made even worse because Israel REFUSED to all JOURNALISTS to enter Gaza. When I have time I will write some of what I know about this heinous crime where both White Phosphorous and DIME Bombs were used.
- 2) Operation 'Pillar of Defence' - November 2012
- 3) Operation 'Protective Edge' - July - now 2014
I used to think the world was sane and that good triumphed over evil. Now I realise that is just an illusion. Just as unreal as Father Christmas and so with that thought, I will say "Goodnight".
