End Israeli War Crimes!
The Zionists want to be slave masters. They do not want a just peace.
• Occupation and creeping annexation
• an inhumane blockade
• the destruction of olive groves
• the arbitrary imprisonment of thousands
• torture
• daily humiliation of civilians
• house demolitions:
these are not policies compatible with any desire for a just peace.

People in the world protest against these arrogant killers of unarmed civilians, most of them are women & children!
Resisting the oppressor is a duty for every man.
Surely, the bloodthirsty Zionists are doomed, they will not succeed. God hears the prayer of the oppressed!

An appeal from Australian Jews to the Australian Jewish Community
http://t.co/CWKSrr7ND0 via @antloewenstein http://t.co/BGtuXtcNai
’In the face of the destruction of so many lives, we cannot remain silent while the official Jewish leadership gives such active support to Israel's attack on Gaza. Their decision to stand with the oppressor rather than the oppressed is a betrayal of our history and values, when authentic moral leadership is more important than ever. Siege, occupation, the slaughter of innocents and collective punishment of an entire people are deeply wrong and unlawful. Yet the Jewish leadership uncritically promulgates the propaganda of the Israeli government that this is self-defence. They are failing to represent and serve the Jewish community.’
’Silence is consent and evil triumphs when good people do nothing. We call on our fellow Jews to break their silence, to take a public stand, not just for an immediate cease-fire, but for an end to the underlying conditions of siege and occupation which are in defiance of elementary morality and decency, to say nothing of international and humanitarian law.’

’But like most recent Israeli encounters with the Palestinians, like every previous assault launched against Gaza, this will be a losing maneuver. In the long run it will it backfire, producing another crack in the edifice of Israel’s illegal and morally bankrupt project of perpetual occupation and unceasing colonization.
However, the ongoing unrest in Arab East Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied territories as well as in Palestinian communities within Israel is another warning. It is the third such warning since the first intifada began in 1987, that this inhuman and racist project is unsustainable, and there is simply no way that it will pass: it cannot proceed in calm and tranquility, as some dream, because it cannot force the Palestinians to submit.’

Rockets fired from Gaza also have the inestimable value for Israeli leaders of letting them do whatever they want to Gaza while receiving the usual pious US support for Israeli “self-defense.” This blanket support enables them to disregard the recent warning of a White House official that “Israel confronts an undeniable reality: it cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely."

Rashid Khalidi: Collective punishment in Gaza
’Three days after the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the current war in Gaza, he held a press conference in Tel Aviv during which he said, in Hebrew, according to the Times of Israel, “I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan.”
It’s worth listening carefully when Netanyahu speaks to the Israeli people. What is going on in Palestine today is not really about Hamas. It is not about rockets. It is not about “human shields” or terrorism or tunnels. It is about Israel’s permanent control over Palestinian land and Palestinian lives. That is what Netanyahu is really saying, and that is what he now admits he has “always” talked about. It is about an unswerving, decades-long Israeli policy of denying Palestine self-determination, freedom, and sovereignty…

Power to the people: Extending the Israel boycott
As we witness recurring attacks on Gaza and the continued unconditional support of administrations in the US, England, France, Germany, Canada and Australia for Israel, one must ask the question as to why Arabs and Muslims should buy products from these countries. How can one stand for justice while purchasing products that provide economic power that is transformed into financial, political and military support for Israel?
Israel bombs hospitals and schools, murdering children in Gaza, and yet these countries continue to support the occupying power while blaming the Palestinians for resisting.
Consider what products you use and purchase.
Do the products empower the occupation?

’The growing number of genocides and massacres committed by Jews in the last hundred years suggest that at least some Jews are pretty careless with other people’s children. Wiesel should examine the Holodomor and the role of ‘Stalin’s willing executioners’ as Jewish American historian Yuri Slezkine elucidates in his invaluable book The Jewish Century. Wiesel can also read Israeli Sever Plocker’s declaration that “some of (the) greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish.” Just a few years after the Holodomor, the Yiddish speaking International Brigade murdered Catholics and burned their churches in Spain (1936). The tragic and violent circumstances in which the Jewish State was born didn’t sate the lust for violence among some of its Diaspora supporters, quite the opposite.’ Gilad Atzmon

Dr Gabor Maté Jewish infant survivor of the Nazi genocide speaks to Netanyahu: #israel #Gaza
“They don’t care about life,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, abetted by the Obamas and Harpers of this world, “we do.”
Beautiful dream of Israel has become a nightmare[ * ]
Everyone ought to grieve the death of innocents.
There is no understanding Gaza out of context — Hamas rockets or unjustifiable terrorist attacks on civilians — and that context is the longest ongoing ethnic cleansing operation in the recent and present centuries,
the ongoing attempt to destroy Palestinian nationhood.
My heart tells me that “never again” is not a tribal slogan, that the murder of my grandparents in Auschwitz does not justify the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians, that justice, truth, peace are not tribal prerogatives.

From Egypt to Saudi Arabia, the Arab World Has Abandoned the Palestinians
’In recent months, the junta in Cairo has resealed its border with Gaza, destroyed most of the tunnels that were lifelines for its residents and allowed a mere 140 injured Palestinians to cross into Egypt through Rafah - the only exit from the Strip that isn't controlled by the Israelis. The blockade of Gaza is, thus, a joint Israeli-Egyptian crime.…
Let's be clear: the inconvenient truth is that the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza is a collective endeavour in its own right - led by Israel, enforced by Egypt, endorsed by Saudi Arabia…
Pity the poor Palestinians. Their territories are occupied by the Jewish state; their cause is abandoned by the Arab world.’ Mehdi Hasan, 08/08/2014

’All night we walked through the sewers, sometimes crawling... passageways booby-trapped with hand grenades...’
In the summer of 2002, Edelman, the last surviving leader of the five-person command group that led the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto, still going strong, intervened in Israel's show trial of the now jailed Palestinian resistance leader, Marwan Barghouti.
He wrote a letter of solidarity to the Palestinian movement, and though he criticized the suicide bombers, [he] infuriated the Israeli government and its press. Edelman had always resented Israel's claim on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising as a symbol of Jewish liberation. Now he said
this belonged to the Palestinians.

Elites Will Make Gazans of Us All
’Gaza is a window on our coming dystopia. The growing divide between the world’s elite and its miserable masses of humanity is maintained through spiraling violence. Many impoverished regions of the world, which have fallen off the economic cliff, are beginning to resemble Gaza, where 1.6 million Palestinians live in the planet’s largest internment camp.
These sacrifice zones, filled with seas of pitifully poor people trapped in squalid slums or mud-walled villages, are increasingly hemmed in by electronic fences, monitored by surveillance cameras and drones and surrounded by border guards or military units that shoot to kill. These nightmarish dystopias extend from sub-Saharan Africa to Pakistan to China. They are places where targeted assassinations are carried out, where brutal military assaults are pressed against peoples left defenseless, without an army, navy or air force. All attempts at resistance, however ineffective, are met with the indiscriminate slaughter that characterizes modern industrial warfare.’

Gaza: Israeli Soldiers Shoot and Kill Fleeing Civilians
Israeli forces provided general warnings to Khuza’a residents to leave the area prior to July 21. While the laws of war encourage “advance, effective warnings” of attacks, the failure of civilians to abide by warnings does not make them lawful targets of attack – for obvious reasons, since many people do not flee because of infirmity, fear, lack of a place to go, or any number of other reasons. The remaining presence of such civilians despite a warning to flee cannot be ignored when attacks are carried out, as Israeli forces have done previously.
“Warning families to flee fighting doesn’t make them fair targets just because they’re unable to do so, and deliberately attacking them is a war crime,” Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director said.
Human Rights Watch investigated several incidents between July 23 and 25 when, local residents said, Israeli forces opened fire on civilians trying to flee Khuza’a, but no Palestinian fighters were present at the time and no firefights were taking place.
“When will there be justice for the civilians in Khuza’a, who suffered shelling for days, then faced deadly attacks by Israeli soldiers after being ordered to leave the town?” Whitson asked.
Several incidents of #Isr killing (unarmed) civilians are recorded on this page.

Ban Ki-Moon: The Israeli attack on UN school is ‘a criminal act’ http://t.co/qsXScb9Nbn http://t.co/VIiFrDtowU
• In his statements, he fails ’to name the perpetrator — Israel — ’ and is therefore biased and also offensive to UNRWA, itself a UN agency, which has lost nine staff in Gaza!
• He condemns ’the storage of weapons in UNRWA schools without offering complete details and a proper account on international law, therefore his statements endorse Israeli excuses to unlawfully, indiscriminately target such civilian objects.’
• Then he ’strongly urge[s] all sides to avoid any further escalation at this time[, noting] that all sides must meet all obligations under international humanitarian law, both towards civilians ahead of impending attacks, as well as maintaining proportionality in any kind of military response.’
By unduly equalizing ’the two sides of the conflict and failing to address the greater impact of violations committed by Israel, which has killed at least 1,814, the vast majority of whom are civilians, during its operation in Gaza,’ he's playing into the hands of the aggressor – Israel – while not reflecting the true, actual situation on ground!

- WANTED for direct incitement to genocide in Gaza: Israeli Knesset deputy speaker Moshe Feiglin http://t.co/QWA5Gr4C1O http://t.co/nGbBQSHCqO
His detailed plan, which calls for the use of concentration camps, amounts to direct and public incitement to genocide – a punishable crime under the Genocide Convention.
In a 1 August posting on his Facebook page, Feiglin, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, calls for the “conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters.”
“This is our country – our country exclusively,” he writes, “including Gaza.”

** In an Open Letter to Elie Wiesel, Arthur Hertzberg wrote in 1988:
’I know of no one in the Jewish community who would not agree with your appeal to the Palestinians to “stop using stones and start using words.” But you do not accompany such an assertion with an appeal to the Israelis to do anything at all—in particular to move away from the policy of repression and toward negotiation. In those of your statements that I have seen, you seem to have avoided saying anything about the content of Israel’s policies.’

If you haven't read this Nathan Thrall piece on Hamas yet, then DO http://t.co/Ybcd7r0Ybr VERY important for context #Israel #Gaza #mustread
• ’Yet Hamas largely continued to maintain the ceasefire to Israel’s satisfaction. It set up a new police force tasked with arresting Palestinians who tried to launch rockets. In 2013, fewer were fired from Gaza than in any year since 2003, soon after the first primitive projectiles were shot across the border.’
• ’Thanks to the vast underground tunnel network leading not just into Israel but under Gaza, if Israel decides to enter the city centres, its casualties seem certain to increase. During Operation Cast Lead in 2008-09, Israel went far deeper into Gaza and lost only ten soldiers, four of them to friendly fire; today Israeli ground forces have lost more than sixty soldiers. Losses among Hamas militants so far appear to be manageable.’

@AliAbunimah report fails to mention name of Emiriya school massacre,also a well documented event in #gaza chapter of 1956 war.
’On 29 October 1956, Israeli border police carried out a massacre in the Palestinian village of Kafr Qassem, situated in the central district of present-day Israel.
The massacre took place on the eve of the Suez crisis — in which Israel invaded Egypt with the backing of France and Britain. It followed the announcement of a curfew by Israel in the middle of that day.’
