This report out today really makes me angry. I have absolutely
no sympathy for anyone who supports, or is associated with, the racist rogue state of Israel.
Not until they become human like the rest of us. How on earth can any right minded human being support a rogue state that continually breaks or ignores
UN resolutions, is a fully armed nuclear power that hides it’s weapons from inspection and does not sign the Non Proliferation Treaty, commits egregious human rights violations, is a
religiously racist state, and has a policy of of
murdering and
torturing children, and
murdering their own citizens?
One wonders....And
now they commit
yet another crime against humanity.
The plan? Further
reduce the capability of hospitals in Gaza,
ensure Palestinians freeze during winter, and
enhance the
Nazi pogrom of starving them. Hitler must be so proud of his former victims, for they have become the evil they
once fought against:
link The only gas and oil terminal on the Gaza border has been shut down leaving thousands of people facing a shortage of gas this winter.
The Nahal Oz terminal has been closed permanently due to ‘security reasons’.
Critics say that the Kerem Shalom does not have the proper infrastructure to meet the area’s cooking gas needs.
Cooking gas is so important to Gaza right now particularly with the siege - we rely on it totally’.
This move has forced local bakeries to close, hospitals to stop its cooking and laundry services and it is threatening families’ abilities to cook and heat their homes in the winter.
To survive Gaza needs 6,000 tonnes of gas per month but after the terminal closed just over 1,600 tonnes were supplied in October and less than 1,000 tonnes in November.

"I think that by now, if a Jew anywhere on the planet remains indifferent or does not speak out to their own community about these outrages they are guilty by complicity. Being a Jew and protesting with gentiles means nada it seems, not that I do not appreciate the gesture."
I think I worded that poorly and you might have misunderstood. I agree there are decent Jews out there. Some of the greatest peace fighters have been or are Jewish and it is only the media that keeps us ignorant of the movements in Israel. Medea Benjamin, Amy Goodman, Benjamin Freedman, Jack Bernstein, Uri Averny, Finklestein, and the many who march in solidarity with those of Bil'in every Friday.
The operative word in my statement was "if". These people deserve great kudos as do the young ones who give up their entire future by refusing to serve. They give up that connective bond of war every Israeli has from the service, which includes business connections, and that blank space on their resume will cost them a lot in the future. Oh did I leave out Vanunu? Ooops, he is Christian.
People that speak out deserve support. Those who do not, are complicit.
I hope that clears it up a little? Our constant hammering away here helps but I don't think things will change with Zionism until they do something SO FULL of hubris and ego, that not only the world, but the mass of Israelis themselves, wake up, smell the coffee, and toss out the garbage.
BTW do you ever read the Comments in Haaretz? Dear lord, It is amazing to read the hatred and vituperation of the average person who responds to articles there.
