Gaza massacre
Lena:
How do you, people, feel about Gaza strip massacre? and do you have any knowledge whether there are down there any Palestinian thals suffering?
Of course one can think that there are so many Palestinian non-thals who suffer due to air raids in Gaza...still...The situation in hospitals is tragic they say...no blood,no drugs,wounded spread on the floor, so much hardship and bad luck for the Palestinians...unbelievable!!!
Andy Battaglia:
Of course, in the US media, this is played out the opposite of what it really is. What this is, is attempted genocide and the world is watching and doing nothing. Even before this onslaught, conditions in Gaza were extremely harsh as Israel was basically trying to suffocate the area with a blockade. This is a subject where I am in disagreement with almost all of my fellow countrymen and I best bite my tongue before obvious comparisons to other genocidal tyrants come flowing. I do find the situation quite ironic. Why do people who were victims of another maniac now relish the same role?
I have attempted to send needles to Palestine before but they have to travel through Israel, so I don't know if they ever made it to their destination. I also wonder about thals in places like Afghanistan where just staying alive is a major task. We don't live in a world that is kind and unfortunately, far too many people want to keep the world as it is.
Lena:
You do not bite your tongue with us,Andy. I tried to put it in a mild way but you gave me the green light to speak truthfully. Yes, this is an attempted genocide and Europe is watching, the Arabs are watching and let Israel proceed to slaughter the Palestinians. And people are wondering why do Palestinians become "terrorists"? well, they are driven to that. They have nothing to lose except their lives, their non-existence, because the life they live is no-life at all. The only weapon they have been left with, is themselves, their bodies and they make themselves human bombs. Of course, it is no good thing for Israelis to live in fear either. Imagine, someone to go to school, shopping, enjoy themselves and been hit with a rocket. That is awful, too. But if two sides do not withdraw, do not think, violence will not cease. Of course, the USA stays once more behind and Obama-on whom many placed their hopes for better justice-remains silent.
As for Palestinian thals, my opinion is that needles or anything else you might sent will not reach its destination.
I really feel sorry for them!
Manal:
I condemn all this dirty politics and all the goverments that are watching even the Palestinian goverment itself which is split from inside and having a civil war between Hammas and Fattah instead of defending themselves against Isreal and the only victim s the civilians and the people.
Isreal is targeting schools, you will never imagine how many children are killed, i don't know if this is shown in your media or not. I will never forget the face of a little girl, no more than 10 months with her left eye bombed and many children if are not killed are just shivering and trembling when talking in the media.
By the way, injured civilians undergo surgeries with no anthetesia cause there is none. Isreal has prevented food and drugs from entering Gaza, so Andy don't send the needles. The people are suffering you will never imagien how the streets are full of slaughtered people to the extent that they are not collected.
Yesterday the Egyptian boarder was opened and the injured people are starting to pass the boarders to go to hospitals and tonight many big trucks full of food and drugs will pass the egyptian boarders to reach Gaza.
The Isreali plan is to divide Palastine into El Dafa and Jordan in one side and Gaza in the other side that is why it is totally isolated with unbelievable killings.
Also many Egyptian soldiers on the boarders have been killed due to this massacre

Exactly my feeling. I have been watching the French news and what you can see there is truly heart-wrenching. So many deaths, some palestinians are fleeing their houses but to go where?
I am trying to imagine what it is like to live in such conditions as the palestinians were and are living, no wonder some of them become terrorists. ( How can you watch your children dying and still stay calm?) Not that I am one to agree with violence ( I hate that) but if I would die anyway, better fight to have a chance to live.
The palestinians are outmatched, how can they fight against the most powerful military of the region.
Where is he UN? This is not a time for the UN to talk but to intervene.
Some genocides have been done undercover (discovered years even decades later) but this one is being perpetrated openly and with the approbation of certain states and organisation. This is truly appalling.
