Israeli jets kill ‘at least 225’ in revenge strikes on Gaza

The Israeli missile attacks left hundreds of Palestinians killed or wounded in the Bureij refugee camp and elsewhere in the Gaza Strip. The strikes, which involved 60 planes, came days after a six-month ceasefire with Hamas expired. The militant group vowed to carry out revenge attacks

Israel yesterday launched its largest raid on Gaza with two waves of air attacks that killed at least 225 people and injured more than 700, according to Palestinian doctors. Children on their way home from school and policemen parading for a graduation ceremony were the principal victims of a bloody few hours that left the territory in flames.

Consider the sick and twisted mentality of a people who parade around and thump their collective chests with pride because they launched a "successful attack" against a straved and defenseless people. And, get this - the attack consisted of more than 50 fighter jets and attack helicopters. Thirty minutes later, the brave Israelis sent a second wave of 60 jets and helicopters to murder more women and children. What's even sicker and more twisted is the American reaction to this campaign of mass murder - to tell Hamas to stop attacking Israel. Go figure...

Gaza raids expose Israeli failure

Yesterday’s strikes will have had as much to do with Israeli domestic policy as military deterrence. The country goes to the polls on February 10. Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister and the Kadima party candidate for prime minister, increasingly faced accusations of being soft on defence.

As is the case in America, the quickest way for an Israeli politician to win votes is to kill Muslims - except in Gaza, as is the case in most of the Arab World, many Gazans are Christians. But, that don't matter to America who is basically telling Israel to kill them all and let God sort them out...

Israel: a cancer on Jewish conscience

"Palestinians are effectively incarcerated. The overwhelming majority can't leave or enter Gaza. Without fuel and spare parts, public health conditions are declining steeply as water and sanitation services struggle to function. The electricity supply is sporadic and has been reduced further along with fuel supply in these past days. UNICEF reports that the partial functioning of Gaza City's main pumping station is effecting the supply of 600,000 people. Medication is in short supply and hospitals are paralyzed by power failures and the shortage of fuel for generators. Hospital infrastructure and essential pieces of equipment are breaking down at an alarming rate, with limited possibility of repair or maintenance as spare parts are not available. Concrete is in such short supply that people are unable to make graves for their dead. Hospitals are handing out sheets as funeral shrouds."

And, the world stands by in silence because the atrocites sited above are being committed by "God's Chosen People."

Gaza's last gasp

"John Dugard, UN special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian territories said that "The killing of some 40 Palestinians in Gaza in the past week, the targeting of a government office near a wedding party venue with what must have been foreseen loss of life and injury to many civilians, and the closure of all crossings into Gaza raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its commitment to the peace process.""

The Strangulation of the Palestinians in Gaza

"The failure on the part of Israel to grasp that this kind of brutal force is deeply counterproductive is perhaps understandable given the demonization of Arabs, and especially Palestinians, in Israeli society. The failure of Washington to intervene -- especially after President Bush's hollow words about peace days before the new fighting began -- is baffling. "
