As a supplement to my previous comment under this thread, I would like to add that in order to really size up the damage in Gaza, we need to remember that most of Gaza’s Palestinian population are in fact refugees who were driven out pre-1948 Palestine and their villages and towns were subjected to terrible massacres, dispositions and terrorism.

By the time their lives started to have a minimal level of normalcy, here comes Israel with its 21 century terrorist power to bring them back to the memories of their first massacres and dispossession.

If I were one of this, I will devote the rest of my life to acquiring the most deadly weapons I can muster to take revenge at the largest number of the enemy side and their supporters wherever they are in the world!

What I like about this article is how it turns Israel’s own “casualty” standard back against them.

When there is an attack against the Special, Chosen People (Israeli Jews), Israel inflates the “injured” number by including anybody who might have suffered psychologically. But Palestinian “injured” are counted much more narrowly. If we include in the number of injured Palestinians all those who have suffered a devastating psychological shock from which they may never recover, we must, by Israel’s own standard, count all 1.5 million surviving Gazans as injured.

But of course, we won’t count the Palestinian injured by the same standard — because Israeli Jews are so much better than mere people :

“In September 2007, the international media reported that 69 Israeli soldiers had been wounded when Palestinian militants fired a rocket into the Zikim army base near the Gaza Strip. The rocket struck a tent where the soldiers were sleeping.

“It is worth noting the details of the attack. Israeli officials related that, of the 69 wounded, 11 had moderate or severe injuries and one was critically injured. A few more had light wounds. The rest, probably 50 or more, were injured in the sense that they were suffering from shock.

Though the official number of those Gazan killed by terrorist Israel, with American made weapons and treasure, runs around 1300 and the physically injured are estimated at four times that number, the real number of injuries runs in the 1.5 million figure, to include all the surviving Gazans. The permanent psychological injuries cover all the inhabitants of Gaza, as they are going to spend years and months trying to rebuild their infrastructure back to the level it was before the Israeli state-sponsored terrorism, cheered by political America.

What I know for fact is that deep psychological scars don’t heal easily, and I am sure there will thousands of Gazans who would want to seize an opportunity to get even and avenge their dead from both Israelis and their American supporters. I advice official Israel and official America to increase their security expenditure by ten folds (if the can bear that) for they had created thousands of would be “counter-terrorists” from among the people of Gaza.

The following link is for an article whose title speaks eloquently and metaphorically about the extent of the damage done!

The gaza devastation reveals zionism extreme.
