Who has the words to describe this? To express this horror?
Some of the victims have:
"Before our eyes, we saw bodies being torn apart and scattered on the roads, and we saw soldiers hidden in civilian clothes and in people’s cars running and killing everyone they met on their way without distinguishing between a child, a woman, a young person, or an old person. We saw the bodies of our brothers cut up, without heads, lying on the ground,” Abu Laban told Mondoweiss.
I tried to stand up, but I couldn’t. I was covered in blood. I looked at my leg and it was cut off. I looked at my best friend next to me, and I found him taking his last breath.” - " I cannot sleep. I cannot forget anything I witnessed and saw. I cannot forget the people who were running in panic and fear, searching for their relatives and families amidst the destruction and dismembered bodies.” -Al-Hawar
Do you think that I'm making this up - because I'm "anti-semitic", because I "hate the Jews"?
I don't hate the Jews, but I hate what they are doing in Gaza - and I hate the way some other Jews are rejoicing in these atrocities. And I hate the way that some Gentiles are pretending that it's all OK - because 80 years ago atrocities were done to Jews - so we can't blame the poor things, really - can we?
Yes we can.
The International Criminal Court is investigating Israel’s alleged war crimes in Palestine.
Israel's latest effort - the rescue of four hostages. This was planned well in advance, and was done in at 11 a.m. , as a complete surprise in a highly populated area. Israeli special forces had numerous men disguised as refugees, installed in the area. The attacking Israeli military wore civilian clothes, rode in Palestinian cars, and moved among the people in disguise. There were no warnings to evacuate, or orders from the army to move elsewhere, and people were surprised by the Israeli special forces and tanks. Helicopters, fighter planes, artillery, and tanks descended. Reconnaissance aircraft and foot solders then began committing massacres against the civilian population.
As reported by Robin Anderson - "When Israel Burned Refugees Alive, Establishment Media Called It a ‘Tragic Accident’. Anderson details the verbal gymnastics used by the corporate media, to obscure the truth about what happened, in this atrocity, and others. Words like words like “genocide,” “massacre” and “starvation.” are not used. Journalists from respected media like NBC were embedded with Israeli forces. The dead are as much as possible described as Hamas, not as Palestinian civilians. For the New York Times, Time magazine, Forbes and the AP, mass killings are "a mistake" or a "tragic accident". A death toll of 274, and injuries to 696 - are reported as "figures from Hamas" - with the inference that you can't really rely on them.
Well - it's not working this time. People have had a gutful of corporate media toeing the USA line, as USA toes the Israeli line.
I'm numb. The horror is just too much. How do we make it stop?!
