Israel's righteous fury and its victims in Gaza

05-01-2009 02:12

My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice -- even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza.

Israel, Bloody Executioner for the World Capitalist Order

04-01-2009 23:07

On Saturday evening January 3, after one week of air raids which left more than 450 dead and more than 2000 wounded, the Israeli army began its land offensive into Gaza. Its military officials declare that the operation will be “long”. The odious Israeli propaganda, broadcast by the majority of the international media, presents this bloody attack as a “response” to the salvos of the “terrorists”of Hamas in power in Gaza.

Trafalgar Square overflows with Palestine supporters

04-01-2009 22:11

The wicked injustice inflicted by the Israeli regime on the long suffering Gazans over the past 60 years and especially during the last week brought 50,000 angry protesters to Trafalgar Square today. Despite the cold, the crowd still had the energy to then march on the Israeli embassy a further 3 miles away despite frequent police obstruction over the whole route.

I expected an ambulance, but a donkey cart carried the injured'

04-01-2009 12:00

Ewa Jasiewicz is a journalist and activist. She is currently the project co-ordinator for the Free Gaza Movement, and one of the only international journalists on the ground in Gaza. Here is her account of a week spent trying to document the attacks.

Sunday
The shock of the first day of attacks, launched within minutes of one another, and killing over 230 people in 24 hours, has had no chance to sink in. Me and my friend Mohammad travelled up to Beit Lahiya today, in the north of the Gaza Strip, to spend the night with the family of a local human rights activist. Israeli missile fire jarred the journey; we leapt out and filmed at a burning paint factory in Jabaliya; no one was injured. As we drove away, another missile hit, this time a steelworks behind us; again we went to film. "Fi shaheed, fi shaheed," people were shouting, "There is a martyr," but we saw no one. We were the only car on the road. Our driver told us, "The streets are full of fear, nobody wants to go out."

Boycott Marks&Spencer+Zionists, stop Massacre & Apartheid

03-01-2009 07:32

Pop by M&S fill ya trolley, unload some at the till&then leave, at the bottom put a leaflet describing the situation. I have found this a vsuccessful non violent legal tactic. In fact filling the trolley or basket with lots of small items, try to pick nice items as hopefully any decent management will let staff have them free rather then spend ages putting them back. Isreal does about 240 millions worth of trade annually with Isreal& its CEO's have been key in political lobbying for Isreals illegal acts.
