 Starving GazaPosted on Aug 20, 2007
By Chris Hedges Gaza has become the Sarajevo of the Middle East. Israel, in an action similar to that of the Serbs in Bosnia, has surrounded and cut off nearly a million and a half Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the Islamic militant group Hamas took control in June. Electric fences and watch towers manned by Israeli soldiers keep the Palestinians trapped inside the strip. The land and sea blockade, the halting of all but minimal humanitarian aid and the refusal to allow Gaza to receive financial support are crushing Gaza’s industry, farming and infrastructure. The tactic is clear: Israel and the United States will strangle Gaza by cutting off all money and goods, including fuel and most food, to reduce one of the most densely populated places on the planet to an impoverished ghetto. Hunger and anarchy, they hope, will motivate Gazans to turn on Hamas, and the anarchy will perhaps be used to justify a reoccupation by the Israeli military and see the return of the quisling President Mahmoud Abbas, who was ousted after he led an abortive coup to overthrow the democratically elected Hamas government. He is now in the West Bank. The Bush administration has, in an effort to bolster the credibility of Abbas, promised to provide his government with $190 million in aid and $80 million in security assistance. And the Israeli prime minister has traveled to Jericho to tout Abbas as a partner for peace. The effects of the siege are disastrous. Palestinians in Gaza are not allowed to travel abroad. They cannot enter Israel for work. They do not fish off the coast because Israeli gunboats open fire at any vessels that are more than a mile offshore. Gaza has seen 75 percent of its factories closed since June, with the loss of 68,000 jobs, according to the World Bank. There is a 70 percent unemployment rate, and 1.1 million of the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza depend on U.N. assistance to survive. The boycott has forced the United Nations to suspend $93 million worth of construction projects for homes, schools and sewage treatment in Gaza because cement and other building supplies have run out. These U.N. projects once employed 121,000 people. About 80 percent of the Palestinians in Gaza survive on $2 a day. Basic foodstuffs such as milk powder, baby formula, vegetable oil and medical supplies are running out. Families, unable to get food or find work, are living on little more than tea and bread. The instability is compounded by the internecine violence among Palestinian factions, gangs, clans, militias and criminals, as well as the Israeli warplanes that bomb refugee camps in an effort to strike at militants and Israeli patrols that make incursions into the strip to round up suspects. It is impossible for nearly all Palestinians to enter or leave Gaza. The only connection the trapped population has with the outside comes through deep tunnels that Palestinians dig across the border into Egypt. These tunnels are used to smuggle goods, weapons and people, as a tunnel under the airport in Sarajevo was during the war in Bosnia. The looming humanitarian crisis, manufactured and orchestrated by the Israeli government, in violation of international law, is a brutal form of collective punishment. It has, however, the support of the compliant Abbas government. Abbas has ordered all government officials in Gaza, including the police, to refuse to go to work and government offices to shut their doors. Those who do go to work, he says, will no longer receive their salaries. He suspended the Gaza Strip attorney general’s office and, in order to keep money out of the hands of the Hamas government, led by Ismael Haniyah, he told government-run hospitals not to collect fees. Abbas has even threatened not to recognize high school exam results in Gaza because the education system is being administered by what he called an illegitimate government. On the public relations front, Abbas, knowing what buttons to push in Washington, has linked the Hamas government with al-Qaida and branded its military wing “a terrorist organization.” “Yes, through Hamas, al-Qaida has entered Gaza and through Hamas, al-Qaida is protected,” he told Italian RAI TV in Rome on July 10. The decision by Israel and the United States to widen the schism and increase tensions between Hamas and Abbas is a blunder of catastrophic proportions. The hatred for Israel and the United States, which already runs deep among Palestinians, will only grow the longer the siege continues. Abbas, by dancing to the tune of those seen by the Palestinians as the enemy, is becoming a reviled, weak and discredited figure. The schism makes a peace agreement and future cooperation only more elusive. Hamas is an unsavory organization, but as long as it has broad support among the Palestinians, and it does, it is going to have to be included in any eventual settlement if civility and peace are to be restored in Gaza and the West Bank. The ham-fisted attempt to make Hamas go away by meting out draconian punishments on the Palestinians in Gaza will radicalize more Palestinians and see the civil war spill into the West Bank. Despite all the aid Abbas gets, he may soon be battling Hamas militants in Ramallah. Violence begets violence. Iraq should have taught us that. The road chosen by the Bush administration and the Israeli government is one that failed in Iraq, failed in Lebanon and will fail in the Palestinian territories. It will only increase the chaos, suffering and death. Hamas is not going to vanish because of Israeli repression. Radical organizations, on the contrary, count on this repression to build a militant base and silence the voices of reason within their own societies. These two apocalyptic extremes—represented by Hamas and the Israeli right wing—need each other to further their frightening visions. The Israeli right wing dreams of a broken and compliant Palestinian population living on impoverished reservations surrounded by the Israeli military. Hamas dreams of destroying the Jewish state. Neither dream is based on reality. Neither dream will work. But a lot of people will suffer and die to find this out. Previous item: Bye-Bye Baghdad Next item: Ingredients for Murder Elsewhere: .

I wonder if this conflict ever ends? The worst thing is that new generations are born and begin their conscious life in war. This generation even couldn’t imagine the life without fighting… awful.

For those interested, I would strongly recommend watching Amy Goodman’s extended interview of President Carter which covers this issue in depth.

Peter,
I must tell you that your comments were
splendid.You hit the real targets justly
Thank you for being so precise.
Any other blogger who cares to emulate
Peter’s precision in exposing the myths,delusion,illusion and attempts
of the Zionists to alter history and
geography of the Middle East needs to
read,at least,one of the following
books:
(1)"By Way Of Deception,Thou Shalt Do
War” written by Victor Ostrovsky who
was a former agent of the Mossad,Israel’s secret intelligence
apparatus.Mr.Ostrovsky was so disgusted by what Israel was doing,he
fled to Canada,his country of birth
and wrote this book.
(2)"They Dare To Speak Out” written by
Paul Findley,the former Congressman
from Illinois.The depth of Zionists
infiltrations in the U.S. institutions
is objectively exposed.
(3)"Deliberate Deception” again writt
-en by Paul Findley,the former Illinois’ Congressman.Each Zionist’s
myth claimed to be the ultimate truth
by the Zionists was(and is) challenged
by the author who provided a correction for every Zionist myth.
(4)"The Samson Option” written by the
respected American Journalist Seymour
Hersh.This book reads like a detective
novel but fully documented.The book
describes in fascinating details how
Israel through deception,embezzlement
and internationally illegal means
built and developed its nuclear arsenal.It is a fascinating living
documentof hard work.
(5)"Israel Lobby” a lenthy article written by Professor Steven Walt of
Harvard University and Professor John
Mearsheimer of University of Chicago.
It was so shameful that the two authors could not find a publisher in
the U.S.They ended-up publishing it
first in “The London Reviews of Books”
in England.It is now available in the
United States.
(6)Palestine:Peace Not Apartheid” by
Report thisformer President Jimmy Carter.The
world wide beloved former President
was savagely attacked by the Zionists and the Israel Firsters in the U.S.
Their attacks backfired by pushing
the sales of the book so high which
resulted in placing the book in the
best sellers list by the New York
Times.Some of the Zionists/Israel
Firsters called the former President
“Anti-Semite” after all what he had don for them in 1979 at Camp David
when President Anwar Sadat of egypt was fed-up by the Israeli leadership
position and decided to withdraw from
the peace talk and ready to return to Egypy.It was President Carter who
persuaded the Egyption President to
stay and stick withhime for peace.And
peace Israel got with Egypt.Hah,former
President Carter is “Anti-Semite”???.
They must be insanes and lost their
minds and sense of fairness and humanity.

Report thisThanks.
Except Hersh’s Samson Option I’ve read all those books, but I dont base my conclusions and opinion on them. I have memory and I observe.
I’ve been observing incredible sufferings of Palestinians, Lebanese and Iraqis, along with the equally incredible hypocrisy of the West and Jews in particular.
The Justice is completely on the side of Arab peoples and their struggle for liberation is nothing short of heroic.
And- I’ll stay with the Justice.

Ref.#67658 by Robert on 8/30 at 6.o5 am.
Report thisI may try again to register ( I did that at least five times - twice they even accepted it ) although the names like Kaufman and Spector do not bode well for my application.It may very well be I am too irritating to them but I’ll wear my opinion on my sleeves, and this, whether anybody likes it or not.
It just happens that my opinion coincides with the truth about what is happening in the ME and I would consider the basest cowardice from my part, to restrain myself from proclaiming it.
P.S. There is nothing unusual in finding that some people solicit honest opinions in order to suppress them. The NYT has practiced that for ages.

Peter...that is really strange about not being able or aloud to register on truthdig. This is really odd.
One wonders why and who is behind it? What are their reasons and/or motives? I believe the same happened to a commenter “Federer”; he was not allowed to register.
Could the reason(s) be for your criticism of zionism and Israel’s IDF brutal killing of Palestinians!
I think that you should e-mail the following truthdig publishers:
Zaude Kaufman and Karen Spector.
Here are their e-mail addresses:
zkaufman at truthdig dot com
kspector at truthdig dot com
Writeand e-mail them. Tell them what is going on and ask why are you blocked from registering at truthdig?
All commenters who are having problems should writethe above truthdig staffers and convey your concerns/problems.

Notice how driving bear’s language resembles a robot speaking. There is no recognizable human emotion. It’s ‘Palestine’, not any reference to human beings whatsoever or mention of the long history of their persecution and murdering by Israelis. Now you know what I meant by ‘heart of stone’! Zionists and hate-filled Jews think of Palestinians and goyim like cockroaches - vermin to be exterminated - and that’s what they have been doing and are still doing for many years. They need to be stopped! Yahweh will stop them - if humanity doesn’t.

I’m glad you read the works of my hero Ms. Golda
First off there has never been a nation of Palestine.
In Fact the land in question was referred to as the “Southern civil district of Syria “ prior to 1917
and the English taking it from Turkey in WWI.
As for Egypt most egyptians faced the truth about Israel and the Camp David treaty has held for almost 30 years. True Egypt has a few bad apples like Bin laden’s #2 man, But Egypt keeps them under control.

Ref. #96938 by Driving Bear.
Report thisThe gems of your arguments, ‘since nobody will say it I will’ or ‘so called Palestinians’, or ‘ Egypt realized Israel is here to stay’or further ‘wiping Israel off the map’, must be definitely product of your drunken Driving.
First, you have said everything you had to say, and repeated thousands of times all over again, about defence of Israel’s abominable behaviour towards a defenseless Palestinian (’so called’) People.
( This ‘so called’ comes straight from the dictionary of Golda Meyer, the Israeli PM who publicly denied existance of the Palestinian People- serves also as evidence that our Bear is of Israeli origin. No American Jew denies anylonger Palestinians exist)
What makes- you fool-believe that anybody listens to you after a carnage of sixty years,you have inflicted on a people whose only fault was their refusal to accept being Israel’s slaves? Are you so drenched in your Goebbelsian doctrine that your lie thousand times repeated, must become an accepted truth? Besides ,can’t you see, you have repeated it already milion times, and it doesn’t stick- you Jewish fools!
Herr Goebbels could have told you that all lies had expiring dates, after which they can only produce a blowback. Hitler’s, bearly lasted only some twelve years.
Egypt realized Israel is there to stay, could be believable if ‘Egypt’ were some man or woman ( perhaps jewish) expressing his/her irrelevant opinion.Do you really believe this is the opinion of Egyptian People? Would you be surprised if one of these days Moubarak and his corruptella on CIA pay roll, end up as Shah of Iran?
Israel is here to stay? is becoming more and more a doubtfull proposition if Israel continues to strive to exterminate Palestinian People.
Trying blindly to do that Israel might very well wipe itself, not only out of the famous ‘map’ but also out of existance.

Since nobody else will say it I will. The suffering of the so called palestinians in Gaza is in fact a blessing in disguise and is absolutely vital to any hope to a peace process. How you might ask look at history in specific the Egypt/Israel peace accord of the late 70’s. How was this achieved : Only after both the 67 and 73 war. After these wars Egypt realized that Israel was here to stay and they ( Egypt and the Arab nation ) could not destroy it by force. Therefore Egypt realized it’s best and only hope was at the peace table. Hamas whi controls Gaza still holds to the dream of wiping Israel off the map and establishing a Palesteinain state from the Jordan River to the Med Sea. This is not Going to happen and the Suffering of the Palesteinain people will God willing make them realize this FACT.

I can’t understand your irritation over Godsend’s postings, or, over any other for that matter.
Report thisWhen there are irreconsiliable points, parties should express their opinions and that is that.
I have abandoned, long time ago, the idea that any discussion had to lead to an agreement.The goal is, as far as I am concerned, to state honestly and as clearly as possible, one’s opinion and to let anybody fume about it, as much as he wants. Otherwise, a discussion forum becomes phony, giving ‘balanced’ answer to any question, sort of political peddling of falsehoods.
So, what does it matter if anybody disagrees with you, if you are satisfied that you have offered a sincere opinion? (Besides, an opinion which one rejects, sometimes makes one think)

Your unjustified slander brands you as a ZioChristian and Neocon (Zionist)! (same tactics).
You have not presented any FACTS worth commenting on!
Your lame comments about the 70AD burning of the Jerusalem temple as fulfillment of the Ezekiel prophecy indicate wishful (Zionist) thinking. Yahweh said (Ezekiel) “I will leave them there and MELT them”. He said ‘them’, NOT ‘the temple in Jerusalem’ or Jerusalem. It is a MELTING of the Zionist Israelis - people, not gold! It says MELT, not burn! If He meant burn, He would have said burn. When you assemble the various metals He mentions in a furnace, you then apply intense heat - not just setting them on fire. Not only that, prophecy can be fulfilled more than once. “The Word of God is living and powerful” - it applies yesterday, today AND tomorrow! Many of us will SEE! the great melting of the ‘rebellious house of Israel’ - hopefully from a safe distance!
What is your position on Zionism and Bush and the ZioChristians and 9/11 and the Israeli ‘crimes against Palestinians and humanity’ (not to mention their devilish deception and countless other crimes), huh?! We all know what it is - you already let the cat out of the bag (or the bear out of the cave)
You are most likely a fake ‘Christian’ like Bush, Hagee, Osteen, Schuler and millions of others! You, an apostle like Paul and Peter?! Add blasphemy to your deceptions. Be careful what you say - or Yahweh may send you to Israel to participate in the great MELTING! 
Your ‘official’ 9/11 position is the nail in your coffin - you are either a deceptive Zionist outright or a ZioChristian ‘Trojan Horse’ - and most definitely a Zionist shill, planted here to try and deceive folks. It didn’t work! Go back to your ZioChristian or Zionist masters for better instructions!

Your comments to the postings are spirited, as these indeed seem to come from some rabid Rabbis. The one to ‘Peter RV’, however, misses by miles.
Report thisAs an amateur historian, I’ll give you a brief lecture.
First, Yugoslavia/Serbia was not attacked for being an ally of the USSR. (You may recall that Tito ruled that country, and that he was adored by us despite being a dictator and a communist, until the grave and beyond)
Second, Americans didnt come there late after the mujahhedins, but were there well before them, unless you don’t count the CIA and the NGOs.
Third, Mujahadins (Al Qaeda)were there with the full knowledge of the Clinton Administration, and supplied with arms by Saudi and Iranian Governments.
Fourth, Clinton’s Administration was so top-heavy with Jews (it could almost have capsized) who seized the opportunity to show Muslim Governments (if not peoples) their affection for them, at the expense of the Goyim Serbs. (This affection of the Jews for the Muslims grows exponentially with the distance from Jerusalem. Notice their unwavering support for the Chechens separatists?).
The War on Serbs, quickly forgotten, may soon come back in the news. Not only because of Kosovo but also because of the irresistible urge of our democratic candidates, especially Clinton and Biden,
to show off with their past services to the Muslims- at large.

Guess what , I am a Jew who saw the light of Jesus about 25 years ago. As for the Ezekiel melting passage I suggest you read the history of the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD and you will find that fire destroyed the city and the temple in fact the fire melted the golden religious object in the temple and after the fire the roman troops dismantled the stones to recover the melted gold and silver.
As for this happening in 2012 ,where on earth or your home planet did you get that.
Don’t feel bad you are only 1900+ years behind in history.

More from the Epilogue of “The Controversy of Zion.” (Douglas Reed):
“In this 20th Century process, which I feel as an accompanying, evil presence, all of us now alive, Jew and Gentile, are involved, and most of us will see the denouement. As to that, Mr. Bernard J. Brown in 1933 misgivingly wrote, “Of course we must be feared and eventually hated if we persist in absorbing everything America offers us and yet refuse to become Americans just as we have always refused to become Russians or Poles.”
This statement applies to all countries of the West, not only to America, but Mr. Brown was wrong. What he foresaw is one thing the Talmudists cannot achieve; hatred is their monopoly, and creed, and they cannot make Christians, or Gentiles, hate Jews. The hateful things done by the West in this century were done under Talmudic prompting; hatred and vengeance are not innate in Westerners, and their faith forbids these. The teaching of hatred, as part of a religion, still comes only from the literal Torah-Talmudists in the revolutionary area, in Palestine, and where they have nested in the Western capitals. No Westerner would speak as a Zionist leader spoke to a Jewish meeting at Johannesburg in May, 1953: “The beast that is called Germany must not be trusted. The Germans must never be forgiven and the Jews must never have any contact or dealings with the Germans”.
The world cannot live like that, and for this reason the insensate plan must ultimately fail. This is the heresy which the teaching of Christ above all else repudiated; it is the one to which the political leaders of the West have lent themselves since Mr. Balfour, just fifty years ago, began to subordinate national policy to it. When the approaching climax has been overcome this heretic teaching, injected into the West from the Talmudic centre in Russia, will pass.
As a writer, I believe it will pass sooner and with less trouble for all involved, the more the general masses know about what has gone on in these fifty years.”
For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; Neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad - Luke 8:17.

Since your vehicle seems to have stalled, I’ll give you a heads-up about Isaiah 53 (in the Torah).
What you will discover there is the identity of the ONLY Jew worth following - greater than ALL the previous Jewish prophets combined, including Jeremiah, Isaiah and Ezekiel! His Name (HaShem) is Yahweh Yahushua - also known as the ‘Messiah’. (that’s Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, if you’re not Jewish). And guess what, there was another bunch of the most important kind of Jew to emerge from the Chosen People at that time: Messianic Jews (Christ’s disciples). You heard of Saul of Tarsus, I presume - and Simon? Well, those 2 Jews became Messianic Jews - Paul and Peter. Surely you heard of them, right?! There were hundreds and thousands more - all Jews who saw the Light and became Messianic Jews! Then these Jews recruited Gentiles into the ranks of Christ’s Followers - there are millions of those today.
Really clever Jews are still discovering and SEEing the Light - even TODAY - right this minute!
Just think, you could become one of those!

PS to driving bear:
Did you notice that Ezekiel 22 verses 12-22 are the same as the date I gave you: 12-22 (2012) The Chinese would find that very ‘interesting’
What do you think would happen if one or more comets from the Outer Oort Cloud came VERY close to Jerusalem? Do you think the extreme heat would turn the ‘rebellious house of Israel’ into desert glass? We’ll just have to wait and SEE! 
If I’m right, you’ll have a VERY large parking lot to practice your driving.

The Ezekiel prophecy is as yet unfulfilled - or perhaps we all missed the great MELTING of the ‘rebellious house of Israel’ in Jerusalem!?
Pray tell, was it a nuke or an approaching comet that caused the great melting and turned everything in sight into desert glass? How come all those old buildings are still there and have no burn marks? If I were you (God forbid!), I’d stay out of Israel, especially Jerusalem, until at least Dec. 22, 2012 - unless you want to have the experience of an ice cream cone in Death Valley (at Noon) (in the summer)
Take the Torah, go (not drive!) back to your cave in the woods and start reading Isaiah 53!
You might discover something useful.

There is a border with Egypt. Food gets there accross that border.
Sounds like an article designed to fake out the ignorant.
Its bad there but wepons are comming in and you can not resist without food. So cut the crap girls and boys. By the way, I am not a Zionist or a Fascist. It is about Geography, bribery and Wasta. I do not think ther will be famine a couple weeks from now. Why dont you guys just be honest and concentrate on things that matter. Peace now, struggle later after.
Out.

Find a Jew or a republican to help you read the following passage from the old testament and discover how wrong your 8/22 6:53 am commit is.
er 31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall they return hither.
Report thisJer 31:9 They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
Jer 31:10 Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Jer 31:11 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
Jer 31:12 And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow unto the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

When there is Divine intervention, do not complain. Most likely God protected you from having your inane comments sliced-and-diced unmercifully by the sword of the Word!
Count your blessings and move on!

Well, I posted the statement by the True Torah Jews again for Godsend’s comments, but once again they did not appear. I don’t get it, but I am about to give up on Truthdig, and I have been an enthusiastic supporter until now.
