Subject: What you TV will never show you The Realities of GAZA

Friends,

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
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
missiling 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 long 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.  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.  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.... After all, what is an
American goyim near 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 kidnapped, 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.
Mainstream media world wide,  is obviously complicit in the new world
order and I am hoping that the internet community will stand out and will
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 have 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
Israeli inside Iraq...., also something that mainstream media is
conveniently forgetting to mention.
