Alex Cosh talks to Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East’s Michael Bueckert about the Canadian government’s non-response to Israel’s recent attack on Gaza.
Israel has admitted to conducting the airstrike that killed five Palestinian children in Gaza after initially blaming their deaths on a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket. The strike targeted the al-Faluja cemetery in the town of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, and struck five children, four of whom were from the same family, while they were visiting the grave of their grandfather. The youngest victim of the strike was just three-years-old.
Israeli wars of aggression have become so common in Gaza they’re the new normal.
Israeli politicians’ thin pretext for the latest attack on Gaza doesn’t add up, and the willing media doesn’t seem to care.
Words seem to lose their meaning among Western leaders when it comes to Palestine.
Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to the late Secretary of State Colin Powell, says Israel has adopted a policy of terrorizing the Palestinian population so that it will accept apartheid. “Every time you shoot a rocket at us, we will kill 1300 of you, men, women and children it doesn’t matter. And you will kill two or three of us. OK? We will live with those odds. And we will eventually eradicate you. I’m convinced that’s their ultimate goal, eradication and/or apartheid.”
Mondoweiss Managing Editor Faris Giacaman shares the evolution of Palestinian armed resistance over the past 25 years, and how it set the stage for the latest Israeli attack on Gaza.
Israel’s latest attack on Gaza shows it is running out of options, and creating popular opposition around the world in the process.
A new lamentation needs to be written for the festival of Tisha B’Av to acknowledge the massive tragedy the state of Israel is inflicting on Palestinians in the name of the Jewish people.
“An orgy of violence” that killed 49 Palestinians in three days including 17 children — and yet Israel’s supporters have crowed that the Gaza attack was successful and it got wide support in the world press. These advocates have blinded themselves to the moral dimension of such awful force.
