Gaza… oh beloved Gaza
By Guest Post • Dec 13th, 2008 at 11:06 • Category: Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Video, ZionismThis video describes in pictures and words the shocking details of Israels deliberate ravaging of Palestinian life and society in Gaza. Its purpose is to call attention to the plight of a people under siege, which so far has been chillingly ignored by governments and the world media unwilling to call Israel to account for its criminal execution of the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from their own land. The video was created by Sonja Karkar for Australians for Palestine on 9 December 2008 using images captured by various courageous photographers on the ground in Gaza, and the haunting sounds of Sada (Echo), composed and played on the oud by Ahmad Al-Khatib.

Grazi, grazi, molto bene, Mary.
I recently listened to my fellow heir to Galileo, sweetest childhood friend, and college trained engineer living near Boston give me a verbatim rendition of Fox News and O'Rielly agit prop about "how Israel is our ally and aircraft carrier in the MIddle East," and "bomb tossing Islamic terorists want to kill us," etc.
All my humble and moderate counter statements made him incredulous.
He accused ME of being a Zionist.
When I corrected him about Zionism and Israel, he said that there is a word about "people who don't like Jewish people."
"You must mean anti-semitism," I suggested.
"Yeah shuah," he responded in Bostonish.
I explained how massively funded and monumentally successful Israel propaganda makes all criticism of Israel labeled – horrible anti-semitism.
"Paulie, Paulie, the Israelis are starving and murdering the caged Palstinian people in a CONCENTRATION CAMP" in Gaza, now!
In his innocence he knew absolutely nothing about the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in GAZA by their monsterous Israeli masters.
So, I promptly tried to deliver a measure of effective response with your video.
His truly sainted father spoke very little English, but lived and toiled only to support and love his family – a man for all seasons and among the totally unchronicled.
