Gaza: Residents waving white flags 'shot dead as they flee their homes'

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/gaza-residents-waving-white-flags-shot-dead-as-they-flee-their-homes-14138998.html

When will the world wake up?

59 year old Palestinian woman beaten by Israelis

BBC released the below video before Israel attacked Gaza. It shows a 59 year old Palestinian woman being beaten by Israelis. Yeah she looks like a real terrorist. I'm posting this video to show who lopsided the Jewish controlled media in the US is. I did not see this video or news about this event anywhere in the US? Did you? But I keep hearing about Hamas attacking Israelis. However, I cannot find even one picture of an Israeli civilian that is suffering or bloodied by this current war. All I see is thousands of dead Palestinian women and children.

Doctors call for halt to Gaza Genocide

This is incredibly sad and very emotional. It makes you tear just reading it:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/ap_on_re_eu/eu_med_gaza_medical_crisis

I have lost all faith in the US. I think the world will no longer ever be able to look at the US as it once did. How can a country that is supposed to represent such freedom and democracy aid Israel with 6 billion dollars a year in tax payer money to cause such suffering for innocent people?


See a small excerpt of the article below:


"
In a statement last week, World Health Organization" declared that health services in Gaza were "on the point of collapse." UNICEF called the situation "tragic" and "unacceptable."

The International Committee of the Red Cross said the Israeli army has failed to evacuate the wounded.

"The violence launched on Gaza is taking an unjustifiable toll on civilian populations," the Lancet said in an editorial. "These actions contravene the fourth Geneva convention," it said, referring to the international agreement that civilians are to be protected in times of war.

The Lancet also published a letter signed by more than 700 medical students calling for an end to the Gaza attacks.

Norwegian doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse, who are working inside the Al Shifa hospital, described Gaza's health situation as "nightmarish havoc" in the Lancet special report.

The pair have more than two decades of experience working in Gaza and other war zones. Gilbert and Fosse wrote that since arriving in Gaza on Dec. 31, 2008, they have "witnessed the most horrific war injuries in men, women and children of all ages in numbers almost too large to comprehend."

Fellow Americans - Please get involved to stop the Genocide in Palestine!

Fellow Americans - Please get involved to stop the Genocide in Palestine! The poor, suppressed, and abandoned of the world depend on us to fight for right over wrong. The good people and honest Americans in the world are their only hope! Imagine going to sleep every night not knowing if you will live tomorrow. Imagine seeing your children, mother, father, sister, brother, or other relatives killed in front of your very eyes! Imagine having no where to call home and no running water, electricity, food supplies, or medical assistance. This is the suffering that is taking place in Palestine.

Read my other blogs - this ridiculous propaganda about 'Palestinian terror' has gone on long enough. Using the guise of 'terrorism', Israel is trying to justify all the killing and bloodshed of innocent civilians who have next to nothing to begin with. Look at the pictures on the internet. It is extremely difficult to find any pictures of Israelis suffering -- everything you see is dead Palestinian women and children. Do these look like terrorists to you?

I have to keep repeating this to get the point across, but "Palestine doesn't even have an army, navy, or air force ---they have nothing but people throwing sticks and stones trying to defend themselves. Palestine is impoverished and a third world country compared to Israel. Israel has one of the most advanced military operations in the world."

Think about this --- it is well known and publicised that Israel has totally taken over practically all of what used to be Palestine. Thousands of millions of Palestinains were made into refugees over night. Israel has supressesed the ones that remain in what's left of Palestine. Israel has destroyed schools, hospitals, and all significant infrastructure in Palestine. Palestinian children have no future. The only schools that exist are in Israel, and Israel refuses to accept Palestinian children in their schools.

Ex-US President, Jimmy Carter, states in his book that "Israel's 'apartheid' policies are worse than South Africa's" (read more here). Look at the giant 'Wall' that Israel is building to cut-off Palestine. Israel has checkpoints everywhere even within Palestinian territory. They used to have one checkpoint to let people from Palestine get into Israel for purposes of getting medical aid or food. Palestinians had to wait in line for hours at a time just to get in. Sometimes people would wait in line for as much as 14 to 24 hours just to get to a hospital. People have died in these checkpoints. Pregnant women have died trying to get access to a hospital. Israel has even shutdown this checkpoint many times and now permanently. Now Palestinians have no way to survive unless food and aid is smuggled into Palestine.

What would you do if you had a family and had no food, medical assistance, or basic supplies to live? Would you try to steal? Would you try to smuggle in goods? What would you do? Whatever you did - Israel would then label you as a terrorist and forward all their fake terrorist, one-sided stories to the Jewish press around the world. Jews own the majority of all news that Americans see (FOX, NY Times, Wallstreet Journal, ABC, Time Warner, AOL, etc....) This is a no-win situation for Palestinians.

Please help stop this great injustice. History of the Palestinian Holocaust is being made everyday. It is up to us to speak out. Please blog. Go on services like Yahoo Answers and reply to people and state your opinions. Give the facts. Provide the references. Complain to your government officials. Put up posters. Pass out flyers. Write articles anywhere you can. Join protests. Boycott anything that has to do with Israel. Push for Israel to be tried for war crimes. If you sit back and do nothing, then what do you expect to be done? Results require action. Please get involved!

China accuses Bush administration of supporting Israel to aid Oil Companies

China has been showing more interest in the Gaza conflict than it traditionally has. "We grieve over the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gan said at a regular press briefing last week. "We appeal to relevant parties to immediately stop military actions."

Beijing has also pledged one million US dollars of emergency humanitarian aid to the Palestinian National Authority and promised it will send more in the future.

Some Chinese newspapers have speculated that the Gaza conflict and its "price-inflating" effects were timed as a "parting gift" by the "Bush dynasty" to the U.S. oil majors. "The traditional mode of crisis the region has slipped into cannot disguise the war over petrol that is going on," said a commentary in the China Times. Read here for more info.

This argument seems valid especially considering all the evidence that leads to support this conclusion. The Bush regime has truly sickened me to the point of utter disgust. Take a look at the evidence for China's telling statements towards the current administrations undeniable agenda:

- The US has invaded Afghanistan under the false premise of wanting to overthrow the Taliban and fight terrorism. How much terrorism do you see coming from a third world country like Afghanistan and why after eight years are we still there? Hmmm... seems like an occupation to me.

- The US has invaded Iraq under the false premise of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and to capture one of the top three members of the OPEC organization that sets oil prices. Iraq is 2nd only to Saudi Arabia as far as Oil Market Share within OPEC. And again, why after eight years are we still there?

- The Bush administration, under the guise of 'Fighting Terrorism' is now encouraging action against other Middle East countries like Iran (A major OPEC member - 3rd largest member after Sudia Arabia and Iraq). If the US invades Iran, they will then control almost the equivalent Oil Market Share withinin OPEC as Saudia Arabia.

While OPEC produces nearly 40 percent of the world’s oil, the US Energy Information Administration estimates that OPEC producers have around two-thirds of the world’s oil reserves. The bulk of the world’s estimated oil reserves are located in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait. Indeed the BP 2008 Statistical Review of World Energy shows that these four OPEC countries alone have half the world’s estimated known oil reserves, with around 618 billion bbl. Read more here.

Here is an older pie chart of OPEC Market Share:


- The Bush administration, while American were concerned with the US election and because of a loophole in US law, has passed 96 or more 'Midnight Laws' that will go into affect shortly and benefit his corporate buddies like the oil companies. Some of the laws will enable the following:
  • Make it easier for coal companies to dump waste from strip-mining into valleys and streams.

  • Ease the building of coal-fired power stations nearer to national parks.

  • Allow people to carry loaded and concealed weapons in national parks.

  • Open up millions of acres to mining for oil shale.

  • Allow healthcare workers to opt out of giving treatment for religious or moral reasons, thus weakening abortion rights.

  • Hurt road safety by allowing truck drivers to stay at the wheel for 11 consecutive hours.
Now ask yourself, who are these laws going to benefit? Now ask yourself, based on the above info, what drives the actions of the Bush administration? He is truly the worst US president in history. You can read more about some of these damaging 'Midnight Laws' here: http://www.truthout.org/121508EA.

I don't know how this guy got re-elected for a second term--- well actually he lost the popular vote. The people actually voted for Al Gore. However, the electoral votes from the elected officials gave the win to George Bush. This reminds me of a quote by Henry Ford, "People deserve the government they get." Let us fellow Americans make sure something like this never happens again.

To add further insult to the damage already, can you believe this idiot president, as he makes his crawl out of the presidency, states that he would like to see his family's 'legacy' continue and that his brother, Jeb Bush, would make a great president. Wow! Read more at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12721154/.
