Israel Makes Small Change to Gaza Blockade
Brands Lebanese Women’s Aid Mission ‘Hizbullah’
Edmund Sanders of the LAT puts the matter correctly when he says that Israel’s national security government (a subset of key cabinet ministers) took a “small step” Sunday in announcing a further easing of the Israeli blockade of civilian Palestinians in the Gaza strip. The new policy is said to envision the abolition of the […]
Limited Israeli Easing of Gaza Blockade Greeted with Dismay
Despite the breathless flurry of approving statements provoked by the English-language pledge issued by the prime minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu that the blockade of Gaza would be ‘eased,’ in fact , Haaretz reports, the Hebrew text of the communique does not indicate that the cabinet made any such decision, and there has been no […]
Palestinians Need a State: Loosening Blockade is not Enough
One problem with the focus the Israeli raid on the Gaza aid flotilla is that it may make it appear that the Israeli blockade of Gaza is the central issue. Then any Israeli loosening of the blockade would seem to be an advance. In fact, the blockade is not the problem but is rather a […]
Schumer’s Sippenhaftung and the Children of Gaza
“Gaza” is an abstraction to most Israelis, including [partisans of Israel like] Sen. Charles Schumer of New York. A majority of the 1.5 million Gazans is not even from Gaza, but rather is from what is now Israel. Americans do not know, and perhaps do not care, that 68% of Gazans are refugees living in […]
Gaza Humanitarian Workers Release Video
Democracy Now! interviews Iara Lee about the video she managed to get past Israeli jamming, from the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara aid ship in international waters. She later that day released 15 minutes of footage at the website, Culturesofresistance.org. It shows scenes from the period before and during the Israeli commandos’ boarding of […]
Colbert: Palestinians Should Go Back where they Came From
Stephen Colbert, who parodies rightwing t.v. pundits, debates himself on the Israeli assault on the Gaza aid flotilla and tells the Israeli ambassador to the US that ‘the Palestinians should go back where they came from.’ The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c Formidable Opponent – Michael Oren www.colbertnation.com Colbert Report Full Episodes […]
Video Shows Israeli Commando Executing American
Update: Paul Woodward has discovered an earlier video posted to the Web from which the following was apparently culled, via what he calls ‘creative editing.’ Obviously, raw footage is preferable, but it isn’t clear if the effect of the editing was actually any falsification of the sordid reality of what occurred. Original posting: The Israeli […]
Raid Survivor Says he Disarmed 2 Israeli Commandos in Midst of Shooting Rampage
Kenneth O’Keefe, a victim of the brutal Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara on Memorial Day that killed one American citizen and 8 others, at least, speaks of how he grabbed Israeli commandos’ weapons after they went on a shooting rampage, and then saved the commandos. And here is O’Keefe’s interview in which he ridicules […]
