My pleasure
One of the most direct and scathing speeches I have ever heard about Israeli settlements and the responsibility of the world governments supporting Israel was given by Sir Alan Duncan ( who was quoted above) can be heard here: http://youtu.be/oYmptosR2KU
On the website The Gaza Map you can virtually stand in any of 20 sites in Gaza from Rafah in the south to Beit Hanoun in the north and see a 360-degree view of the destruction all around.
Short of being in Gaza it is an effective way to get a sense of the scale of devastation Israeli bombing has caused. http://www.kolor.com/virtual-tours/20140818-kolor-lewis-whyld/#s=pano115
Sorry, this is the correct link for Dr. Masri’s Speech at “Crisis in Gaza and West Bank: Context and Action” http://youtu.be/hHAmAULY23U
Please correct me if I am wrong but your comment makes it sound like Israel should stop this massacre only because of its economic impacts, not because of what is being done to Palestinians, and it being against International Laws, and human rights.
Unfortunately Canadian politics is following in lock-step with the Israeli lobby here as well. There is not ONE party that has not given Israel complete 1000% support for everything they do….want to kill thousands of Palestinians go for it. There is an Federal election here next year and NONE of the parties merit support from anyone concerned about peace and justice in Palestine and in this world.
When the Israelis are openly calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They are using that language of “Ethnic Cleansing.” They are openly calling for genocide.There was an article that was published twice in The Times of Israel, entitled: Genocide is permissible. they have openly changed the game on language being used. We can no longer just beg for people to listen to us about Israeli war crimes.
I would invite you to listen to Dr. Rania Masri’s Powerful Speech at “Crisis in Gaza and West Bank: Context and Action”
Actually it is spreading A LOT on Twitter without the “SATIRE” being included. Please state more clearly in the TITLE that it is indeed SATIRE!!!!
Thanks
Re B’Tselem: Israel is now taking revenge on them for their coverage of human rights violations and their speaking out against the Israeli massacre:

Why aren’t the Palestinian people getting fair coverage?
Some say it is because Jewish people or the Israeli lobby “control” or “unduly influence” U.S. media outlets. But this is not the case.
The real force behind this biased reporting is the huge aggregate of U.S. corporations that pull in mind-boggling profits from exploiting Middle East resources, including the media monopolies themselves.
Take the powerful media conglomerate NBC, for example. Why would NBC be so biased? Because NBC is owned by arms manufacturer General Electric, which profits from the war on Gaza.
GE Aviation makes the propulsion systems in the U.S. aircraft sold to Israel, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-4 Phantom, the “Apache” attack helicopter and the Black Hawk utility helicopter, as well as the Israeli-made Kfir fighter plane. GE also makes parts for Hellfire II laser-guided missiles as well as T-700 and 701C jet engines used by the Israeli military.
NBC executives don’t mention that their salaries are paid by a company that makes a mint providing the very weapons that Israel uses. NBC doesn’t make a cent from exposing the murder of four Palestinian children playing on a Gaza beach.
