Its
nearly 4 a.m. here
and I decided to go back to my computer to communicate to my friends
around the world what every single mainstream media channel..., whether
American, European or Arab, is FAILING to communicate in regards to
what is happening right NOW in Gaza, Palestine. I have been
in front
of television for the past few hours monitoring the news and I was
shocked to see NOTHING on Gaza except for on 2 local Arab channels
and
one Arab satellite channel which I shall not name for their own
good..., lest the United States with its Israel lobby decide to shut
them down. Even Al Jazeera channel, to my utter shock, didn't so
much as mention Gaza in its last 2 news broadcasts!!
Let me tell you my friends what I have been watching for the past few
hours and what I am still listening to on my head-phones:
Southern Gaza
is in
TOTAL DARKNESS. Three quarters of the television frame is PITCH
BLACK
while northern Gaza has a few lights. About an hour ago, Israel
bombed
with F-16's the only power station left in Khan Younes plunging it in
TOTAL DARKNESS too. Do you know what it means to be without
electricity for 10 days in today's world??? No water, no
sewage, no
cooling, no storing of whatever food is left, no
communications....etc. As though this were not sufficient
for those
poor Palestinians, tonight, like every night, Israel has been bombing
and sending missiles into Gaza and flying over it all night with
sonic
booms to scare the people and especially the children who are
totally
terrified. Yesterday a one and a half year old child died in an
awful
way of injuries sustained by Israeli bombing and mainstream media
instead of covering it, is allowing a terrorist like Ehud Olmert to
take the microphone and tell the world that Israel never targets
civilians. It has been 10 days now and all Israel has done is
target
civilians and kill dozens! One of the strongest armies in the
world
has declared war on a population that does not even have an
army! Water
is lacking, food is scarce, medicine has run out, FUEL has run
out... and Israel refuses to let trucks carrying supplies enter
Gaza to
save a civilian population which was already condemned to live in
refugee camps because Israel kicked them out of their homes and stole
them. Even Palestinian hospitals hardly know how to
operate. When
Israel first bombed Gaza's power mains, hospitals resorted to using
their generators. But generators can only keep going if there is
fuel.... and there no longer is fuel. The sick and elderly who
live on
machines are slowly dying. Babies in incubators are
dying. With the
increasing rubbish that can no longer be picked up from the streets,
diseases are starting to spread. A humanitarian disaster is
taking
place in Gaza NOW and Mr. Bush, his Israeli White House, his
corrupt
AIPAC stooge of a Congress, Mr. Bolton and Mr. Annan are
laying the
grounds for their attack on Syria and Iran.... and who knows what else.
And the world
is
silent. And mainstream media is behaving as though nothing were
happening there. All it cares about is that damned Israeli
soldier
that means ZILCH amid 1.4 million innocent civilians who had
nothing to
do with his capture!
Last, but not
least...., NONE of this would be happening were it not for the American
tax-payer who for decades financed and is still financing every bullet
and missile being shot from Israel. What does it
take for the
American tax payers to understand that they are ultimately paying for
their own destruction. The US has created a monster that now
controls
it. US soldiers are fighting Israel's dirty war in the Middle
East.
US soldiers are dying so that Israel can prosper. US families are
losing their loved ones so that Israel doesn't have to send their
kids.... After all, what is an American goy compared to an Israeli
life? American soldiers are kidnapped all the time in Iraq and
they
are not even mentioned in the news. Yet, when an Israeli soldier
is
taken prisoner, ONE soldier, the president of the United States himself
comes out to speak on his behalf! Where are the American
people?
Where is that great nation that we were all told represented "freedom"
and "liberty"?? It is being held on a leash by Ehud Olmert and
AIPAC.
At least in the Arab world we have the excuse of being the
underdeveloped third
world. What is America's excuse? If only Americans knew
that Israel will use them and dump them in a split second!
While I am
writing
this, I am watching the rescue of bodies from a building that collapsed
in Gaza about an hour ago after it was bombed by Israeli
F-16's. I
see panicked and scared Palestinians lighting the collapsed
building
with their torches and digging with their hands in the
rubble to find survivors. I see a hand sticking out the rubble
and it
is still moving. A body is under a heavy concrete wall which
no one
can move without a bulldozer..., but there is no fuel and no
bulldozer
to help. Palestinians don't have bulldozers.
I am writing
this to my
internet friends because it is my duty to relay what I am seeing.
I
cannot just go to sleep as though nothing were happening.
Mainstream
media world wide, are obviously complicit in the new world order
and I
am hoping that the internet community will stand out and spread
the
news of Gaza, like we spread the news of Iraq.
I have recorded
the
horrible events of this evening... and of those past few
days..., and
I shall find a way to get this footage out. The world must find
out
what a criminal country Israel is. Tomorrow also, unless
my IP is
blocked again, I shall be sending you interesting news on Israelis
inside Iraq...., also something that mainstream media is conveniently
forgetting to mention.
Regards to all,
