Gaza: the Actions of a Criminal Israeli Regime Are Being Aided and Abetted by Criminal US Politicians and Criminal US Media

Terrorism:

Israel continued to bomb Gaza on day 7 of blitz. The airstrikes continued Friday morning.

Israel has killed 37 children and 17 women since it began its bombardment last Saturday. About a fourth of the over 400 persons killed are estimated to be obviously civilians because they were children or women; the proportion of the civilians killed is likely actually higher because a lot of the men are probably noncombatants, too. Likewise, large numbers of the over 2000 Gazans wounded have been innocent civilians.

Gazans are facing starvation and death, according to UN humanitarian chief John Holmes. The power plant has been knocked out, making it impossible for the hospitals properly to treat the over 2000 wounded in the airstrikes, or indeed, for patients needing oxygen & etc. to get it. Hospitals have resorted to generators, but they run on fuel, which is in short supply and many Gazans are without electricity. Some 20,000 a day are not getting the UN wheat rations and other foodstuffs on which they rely, given that Israel long ago destroyed their economy. That is, there is real and increasing hunger in Gaza, 50% of the population of which is children.

Apart from the killing itself, the tragedy is the powerlessness of ordinary Americans and the rest of the world to do much about this. There is also the sad fact that Israel was of course founded because of earlier crimes against humanity, and yet here they are-- committing their own war crimes.

Of course, it's important to know the origin of all this evil.

UPDATE: FUCK-- they are invading.
