GAZA IS GOING DEAF FROM THE SILENCE

The population of Gaza was about 1.5 million as of yesterday morning… there are 13 less this morning. Last night Israel murdered 13 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including the gorgeous baby in the photograph above. The child had a name, it was Muhammed Al-Bura’i. He was six months old. Israel felt the need to kill him as he might have been responsible for a Qassam rocket that was fired into Sderot killing an Israeli civilian.
Moments after the Qassam attack Israel filed a complaint with the United Nations … a report of that can be read HERE.
Whether that complaint was filed before or after Israel’s attack is not known.
Thirteen Palestinians massacred, mostly civilians… on this, the eve of the Nakba…a catastrophe of 60 years ago… a catastrophe that continues to this day.
The thirteen can be added to the following count of this month’s dead…
taken from THIS Legal Report.
GAZA, (PIC)– The IOF troops killed 51 Palestinians including seven children and two women mostly in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of February, according to a report issued by the Nafha society for the defense of human and prisoners’ rights.
The report said that 46 victims were only killed in Gaza most of them during Israeli air strikes
In another context, the IOF troops acknowledged that three Israeli settlers at least were injured during rocket attacks at noon Monday carried out by the Palestinian resistance on the Israeli Sderot settlement in the Palestinian lands occupied in 1948.
For its part, the Salahuddin Brigades, the armed wing of the popular resistance committees, announced its responsibility for firing two homemade rockets on Sderot, adding that this operation came in retaliation to the ongoing Israeli crimes committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.
Israel is complaining.
Israel is protesting to the UNited Nations.
ISRAEL IS MURDERING PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS NON STOP AND NO ONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT….
WHY?
THE SILENCE OF THE WORLD IS DEAFENING!!

Listen, I meant LISTEN…sorry.
I have a pile of paper, from my supposed representatives in govt. Not one addresses the issues I have brought forward. They all use the same form reply. Senator or representative, they all use the same reply. The time is drawing near. Things will change.

“The silence of the world is deafening!!!” No, it’s not deafening. It’s morally sickening! How does Israel murder with impunity? How does Israel torture with impunity? How does Israel imprison an entire people with impunity? It is properly called “COLLUSION.” Collusion by the United Nations. Collusion by the United States. Collusion by the European Union. Collusion by the League of Arab States. Yes, the League of Arab States. The Palestinian people are ABANDONED by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Oh it’s freaking true. Who champions the oppressed of Palestine? The King of Jordan? Yeah, when pigs sprout wings and take to flying holding patterns over downtown Jerusalem. Maybe the King of Saudi Arabia? Yeah, sure sure! Syria? Egypt? One might expect nothing from the U.S. and the E.U. and given their tacit support of Israeli brutality, that is exactly what the Palestinian people get. But the Palestinians are ignored and cast off as irrelevant by their Muslim/Arab brothers and that is exactly how the world can view Arab/Muslim silence. Yeah, I’m probably wrong and probably an asshole for expressing such heresy. Okie-dokie. I’ve never been very popular anyway. Given the deep desert where I live, there isn’t much I can do about the grim future for Palestine and so I just sit here and speak out and irritate people. Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Hey, it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. That being said, the United States is hypocritical in their one sided support of Israeli genocide on Palestinians and the European Union is abysmally weak-assed in their support of Israeli genocide on Palestinians and the United Nations simply is in comprehensive moral failure and therefore is absolutely irrelevant regarding Palestinian issues and the horror Palestinians suffer daily.
It ISN’T silence that our world is mired in, it is moral failure. It’s moral failure to not stand up and DEMAND that Israel knock their brutal murderous onslaught on Palestine off. Release the prisoners. Palestinian prisoners! You know, the ones that are locked up tight in Auschwitz the West Bank. You know, the ones that are locked up tight in the Gulag Gaza where the sewage runs putrid and dank. Egypt rebuilds the apartheid wall and posts soldiers at the border with Gaza so that Egypt doesn’t UPSET the Israelis. Yeah Palestine, what a friend you have in Egypt! I AM PALESTINIAN! Oh Egypt my brother, why do you not hear the cries for justice in Palestine? Oh King Saud, why can you not DO SOMETHING ANYTHING for my brothers and sisters and their children that are dying in Palestine? Why? Why must the poor go hungry? Why must Palestinian mothers see their children tortured? Oh Blessed Son of Mohammed and King of Jordan, can you not see the death and the stench of raw filth that flows in Gaza? Where is justice? Where is freedom for the Palestinian oppressed? How long must they starve? Die? Be tortured and imprisoned?
It isn’t silence that rebukes the death in Palestine, it is moral cowardice! Base, cowering, reprehensible, and remarkably status quo!
Oh Palestine, would that things were in my control I would free thee and dress thy wounds. Feed thy children and comfort thy widows. I can’t, but I can express my outrage at moral collapse. Oh Palestine, where is thy champion? Hmmm, probably nowhere to be found on this Island Earth. How immorally sad for us all!

Many ARE sick over this but those ruling war criminals in U.S. from BOTH parties are run by AIPAC and Israel heads are NOT listening to either U.S. citizens or Israeli peace people either NOR do they care! Hell, Bush and cohorts, including most Dem’s too, don’t even care about our poor troops or us citizens much less Palestinians! We, in the rest of world, ALL need to BOYCOTT Israeli goods ASAP, Big Time! Til they stop the murdering! I makes me soo sick to think that my tax dollars are going to kill these innocent people! But WHAT can I do? And before you all praise Obama, UNDERSTAND, he is Zionist puppet too, just like ALL the rest running are! Who put Israel ABOVE America’s OWN good and welfare! Fact! Obama is PRO-ZIONIST TOO! So wake up to that fact! Wake Up Obama is puppet for Zionism just like Hellary and McCain are and rest too! All are in back pocket of AIPAC! Including Congress! I donate to End the Occupation.org but what else can we do? Hell, they don’t even listen to us bitch about our OWN issues, like much needed healthcare, much less listen to us complain about this! They are ALL traitor’s to U.S. and ARE Israel FIRSTER’S! Including Obama!

If American’s knew the truth about Israel they would be raising HOLY hell about this! Fact! Israel HAS MURDERED American’s before, in U.S.S. Liberty, Lavon Affair they tried but lucky Egypt stopped them, Beirut suicide bomber they KNEW it was coming yet did NOT tell our troops! And Israeli Mossad helped do 9-11 too along with people in our OWN gov’t too! What can we do to help these people? Complain? Noone will listen!

This is the first time i post something on this blog. I just ran by it, and i have to admit i was truly amazed.
It’s very rare those days to find people who are actually interested and enlightened enough to run such a website, that is a pro-Palestine website.
It is a shame how Zionist media is running the world and successfully brainwashing millions of Europeans and Americans into supporting Israel, and if not, at least into tagging Palestinians as “Terrorists”, and their existence as threatening to the “Peace-seeking” state of Israel.
Eventually, the truth shall prevail no matter what.
Peace
