Israel initiates bloodbath on Gaza

Israel initiates bloodbath on Gaza… which continues 4 days later ... As Gaza endures its 4th day of intense bombing from Israeli F-16s, V58 fighter planes, Apache helicopters, UAVs and warships, please take the time to look at these websites and read these key articles: Ali Abunimah: “Mowing the lawn”

http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/mowing-lawn-israels-latest-massacre-gaza-and-lies-behind-it ... On Israel’s latest massacre in Gaza and the lies behind it: Israel provoked this violence and according to some Israeli commentators its goals are to escalate pressure for war with Iran and to drag Hamas away from diplomacy and back into violence. .......

Israel initiates bloodbath on Gaza

Sunday’s victims of the Israeli bombing included Ayoub Useila, 12, of Jabalya refugee camp, whose seven year-old cousin was injured, and Adel al-Issi, 52, a farmer near Gaza City. Others suffered horrifying injuries, as recounted by doctors at Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital.

On Monday, another 5 people were reported killed, and dozens more injured, bringing the reported total of dead to 23.

…This weekend’s attacks have followed a typical pattern. Israel launches a lethal attack knowing full well that Palestinian resistance factions will respond. It then uses the response—dozens of rockets falling on Israel rarely causing injuries or damage—as the very pretext for continued bombing. Israel also claims to have shot down several dozen incoming missiles using its US-subsidized “Iron Dome” anti-missile system.

…Israel’s routine policy of executing Palestinians in occupied territories without charge or trial, based on flimsy allegations made by the killers themselves, is a major violation of international humanitarian law and makes a mockery of Israel’s claim to be a “democracy” by any possible measure. ..........

Thank you to the contributor for bringing this atrocity to the attention of the sincere people of the indymedia readership. To see innocents suffering, traumatised by the likes of israel is truly - a crime against us all.
I appeal, do not let ourselves become desensitised.
I have heard there is a march on Jerusalem in support of the Palestinians on the 30th of March. For those not able to participate, are there any other practical suggestions, that would allow an outlet for the intense feelings of injustice, that I'm sure many people are feeling.

Any practical things anyone can do? I am a practical person and when I see that picture above, I can't help notice the ripped bed, the bent frame etc probably because that's all I know. But when I look at them bairns, suffering it makes me feel ashamed that I don't feel what I should have. Unsensitive I agree. How can we mend them kids.
