Israel kills dozens more in Rafah

The United States [minus our shadow government reveling in profits for the military-industrial complex] and the United Nations have condemned Israel after an airstrike killed 10 people near the entrance of a U.N. school sheltering Palestinian civilians.

The school was reportedly being used as a shelter for about 3,000 people, most of them terrified children. It was the second illegal targeting of a U.N. school by Israel in less than a week. It tried to pin its first attack on Hamas to deflect international criticism but was conclusively shown to be the culprit, making Israel a "terrorist state" once again. And it was the seventh such crime against humanity over the course of Israel’s offensive war on Gaza.

Music for Judeo-Christian soldiers

Jewish American youth aspire to go to Israel to kill Palestinians, fly safe missions as glorious, state-sponsored Air Force terrorists, defend their other country from the unruly natives. It has in just 50 years packed the indigenous population into two teeming camps in which they are concentrated, open air prisons, non-Jewish neighborhoods, ghettos called the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where they are fish in a barrel to be shot at. Wonder what they listen to on their iPads as they kill, Florida's Cannibal Corpse maybe? "They think they know who I am/ All they know is I love to kill/ Face down, dead on the ground/ Find me before another is found/ I come alive in the darkness [night raids]/ Left murdered and nameless/ Dead, unburied, and rotten/ Half eaten by insects.../ They're all dead, they're all dead/ They're all dead, by [our invasion]... It felt so good to kill/ I took their lives away/ Seven dead, lying rotten/ Unburied victims their naked bodies putrefy [and get eaten by animals]/... They're all dead, they're all dead/ They're all dead, by [our invasion]/ I come alive in the darkness/ Left murdered and nameless/ Dead, unburied, and rotten/ Half eaten by insects..."

US, we deserve protection not US bombs

The coordinates of the school were reportedly communicated to the Israel "Defense" Force no fewer than 33 times, the last time just an hour before the shelling. That is, there is no way Israel did not know exactly what they were targeting and shelling in violation of international law and Geneva Conventions. 

 

Shortly after Israel’s attack on Sunday, the U.S. State Department issued a statement saying: "The United States is appalled by today’s disgraceful shelling outside an UNRWA school." U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon characterized the attack as "a moral outrage and a criminal act." [Will PM Netanyahu be dragged to the Hague? Not if U.S. politicians and CIA officials can help it.]

Israel's new policy: Kill Everything That Moves: "Everything that moves in Rafah is a target": Israel continues shelling civilians in Gaza during short "pause" [that serves mostly to draw out more human targets as relative try to gather corpses and body parts for dignified burials] 

 

The number of Palestinians murdered by Israel in Gaza has topped 1,800 as the Israeli offensive enters its 28th day. On yesterday [Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014], at least 10 people were killed when Israel illegally shelled another U.N. school shelter for Palestinian civilians.

 

Why kill Gazans when you can kill Gaia?

The U.S. has officially called the attack "disgraceful," while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned it as a "moral outrage and a criminal act." It was the seventh U.N. school hit since Israel’s offensive began. The U.N., meanwhile, is warning of a "rapidly unfolding" health crisis in Gaza as large parts of the territory had their power and running water taken out by targeted Israeli strikes, and around 400,000 are now displaced by Israel's war of aggression on its segregated indigenous population.

More than 200 Palestinians have been killed since a 72-hour ceasefire collapsed on Friday [Aug. 1, 2014]. Over the weekend, the Israeli government admitted that a soldier it had used as war propaganda by reporting him [Hadar Goldin] as "captured and taken hostage by Hamas" was actually killed in a battle as he attacked badly outgunned Hamas resisters.

Earlier today, Israel announced a unilateral seven-hour truce ("pause") in most of the Gaza Strip, except for Rafah, where Israel has concentrated its bombardment. Palestinians have already accused Israel of breaking its own ceasefire by launching deadly attacks on the Shati refugee camp, another crime against humanity. DN! goes live to Gaza City to speak with its correspondent Mohammed Omer, an award-winning Palestinian journalist who has family in Rafah. More

Part two of  interview with acclaimed MIT physicist Theodore Postol, who says there is no evidence Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system is actually working. Prof. Postol estimates that the Iron Dome, which is partially built by U.S. corporate war-profiteers Raytheon, intercepts just 5 percent of rockets fired at Israel.

Truth about Israel must not get out! (video)

Why does Netanyahu lie to promote war?

The truth about Israel must not be allowed to get out. And yet this book got through the cracks somehow to sell enough to become a best seller. As a Jew Max Blumenthal should hang his head low to be telling the truth at a sensitive time like this:

Everyone knows that in a war, any war, truth is the first casualty. This is true even in an obscenely lopsided ground invasion by a professional army -- the fourth most powerful in the world (aided and abetted by the first) -- of impoverished, blockaded civilian ghettos. But Israel has gone above and beyond to perpetuate lies about its criminal activities.

(WAU) The illegal "collective punishment" of indigenous Palestinian civilians trying to stay alive in a racist apartheid "State of Israel" -- Sherine Tadros reports on Israel's war that leaves thousands of displaced people in Gaza, Jan. 2014

Israel has overwhelming firepower raining down from the air in bombing raids testing new and illegal munitions (which will help sales and benefit the booming Israeli arms trade and its many officers' weapons dealers serving the rest of the world, which naturally keeps silent so as not to be denied access to their sophisticated new weapons from the five UN Security Council permanent members, who coincidentally are the top weapons traders) while bloodthirsty Israelis, many of them blood-lusty nationalists and Jews crying out for racist revenge and the utter extermination of indigenous Palestinians.

Will there be justice for Palestine, Max Blumenthal?

Sonali Kolhatkar (UprisingRadio.org, July 24, 2014) 

Israeli tanks hit a United Nations school in Gaza today killing 15 people who were seeking shelter there and injuring ten times that many people on the 16th day of the internationally-condemned assault on civilians called "Operation Protective Edge." Nearly 700 Palestinians have been killed [now more than a 1,000 with countless more severely injured, maimed, and driven to PTSD], a major portion of them children.

• AUDIO: Listen to Max Blumenthal, Ali Abunimah, and child victim of Israeli brutality 15-y.o. Tariq Abu Khdeir

The completely unbiased New York Times is reporting this morning that Israel is defending its actions claiming that a small band of resisters called "Hamas" is embedding it resisters among the only place they have as ordinary civilians. The paper cited as unquestioned fact, “Hamas fighters have set traps for Israeli soldiers in civilian homes and stored weapons in mosques and schools.” 

 

The United Nations in recent days has decided to launch an investigation even as the attack continues on potential Israeli war crimes. More

Question: Why does the completely unbiased Los Angeles Times have a picture of crying Israeli soldiers burying a fellow state-sponsored terrorist militant? The terrorist militant was "only following orders," which just happened to be to kill women and children in defense of a flag, an ideal, a second homeland, more territory, and total security from people who get no such security from the world's fourth strongest army (backed by the first).

Answer: This and other such examples of the severe pro-Israeli bias in the U.S. mainstream media drums up sympathy for war criminals, war criminals favorable to the US that is. It makes average U.S. citizens think there are two more or less equal sides to the story and that Israel is probably right, whatever their side may be: No need to tell us because we already side with you -- as does our House and Senate -- and have next to no idea what's happening to the millions of Palestinians who are being starved, oppressed, and now killed with "pinpoint" accuracy or what U.S. Sec'y of State John Kerry (and former president except that he caved so quickly when faced with G.W. Bush's false claims to the throne) calls "some hell of a pinpoint operation."
 

Noam Chomsky: What drives U.S policy?

That's the way Americans want it, not American-readers, but American public relations firms, military contractors, spying agencies (like our beloved Company the CIA), Pentagon, Mossad, and the friends and family of dual citizens and militants (every Israeli citizen has to join the military, except for the orthodox, and even they may lose their exemption in the future). So get your free trip to Israel, get armed, get trained, and revenge-mindedly help kill some Arabs (pronounced aaa-rabs).
