Israel, Israel, Israel. And to think I used to be pro-Israel. The bubble burst. The ugliness revealed. A desert where bad things happen. IsrealFrom the London Review of Books blog: On August 26, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was agreed upon, bringing a fragile end to a war that killed 2,150 Palestinians (mostly civilians) and 73 Israelis (mostly soldiers). Since then Hamas has not fired a single rocket, attacked an Israeli target, or done anything to break the terms of the ceasefire. Israel has done the following:
Aftermath of Israel s Latest Assault on Gaza
- Annexed another 1500 acres of West Bank land
- Seized $56 million of PA tax revenue
- Not lifted the illegal blockade (as required by the ceasefire)
- Broken the ceasefire by firing at fishermen on four separate occasions
- Detained six fishermen
- Killed a 22-year-old, Issa al Qatari, a week before his wedding
- Killed 16-year-old Mohammed Sinokrot with a rubber bullet to the head
- Tortured a prisoner to the point of hospitalisation
- Refused 13 members of the European Parliament entry into Gaza
- Detained at least 127 people across the West Bank, including a seven-year-old boy in Hebron and two children, aged seven and eight, taken from the courtyard of their house in Silwad – and tear-gassed their mother
- Continued to hold 33 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council in prison
- Continued to hold 500 prisoners in administrative detention without charge or trial
- Destroyed a dairy factory in Hebron whose profits supported an orphanage
- Destroyed a family home in Silwan, making five children homeless
- Destroyed a house in Jerusalem where aid supplies en route to Gaza were being stored
- Destroyed a well near Hebron
- Set fire to an olive grove near Hebron
- Raided a health centre and a nursery school in Nablus, causing extensive damage
- Destroyed a swathe of farmland in Rafah by driving tanks over it
- Ordered the dismantling of a small monument in Jerusalem to Mohamed Abu Khdeir, murdered in July by an Israeli lynch mob
- Continued building a vast tunnel network under Jerusalem
- Stormed the al Aqsa mosque compound with a group of far right settlers
- Assisted hundreds of settlers in storming Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus
- Prevented students from entering al Quds University, firing stun grenades and rubber bullets at those who tried to go in
- Earned unknown millions on reconstruction materials for Gaza, where 100,000 people need their destroyed homes rebuilt. The total bill is estimated at $7.8 billion
Whether or not a single mortar shell landed harmlessly on a patch of dust outside of Gaza, Israel is clearly not a partner for peace.
Time to cancel Israel.
There's no 4 foot long list anywhere on the planet that could contain all the Israeli offenses/atrocities. 4 foot tall stack of laptops? Maybe. It'd take a full-time investigative commission years to follow around the IDF and Police force of Israel to be constantly making entries to "keep up" with all the offenses. But we all know the mighty Israel would deny everything, like usual. Only problem is, the entire world knows it. And Israel's stock just plummeted. To the toilet.The lie is that all those things happened after Aug 26, 2014...<snip>..
And just think Beelzebub. These are just the offenses we KNOW about. You know there's probably dozens more if not hundreds that got swept under the rug. I'm sure of it. THE ZIONISTS CONTROL THE SECURITY CAMERAS/SYSTEMS, NEWS AGENCIES, POLICE, ETC., basically every square inch of Gaza and West Bank. Pitiful.
Do try to keep up. I'm sure you idiots could come up with a list four feet long of things Israel has done to the Sand Warriors in retaliation for rocket attacks, suicide bombings and a LONGER list of unwarranted attacks. That doesn't mean Jack Schidt!
