from a DJ forum I post on where a member posted a blog regarding anti- Israel rallies.
Quote:
Dear Friend,
In the first 24 hours of the murderous Israeli assault against Gaza, more than 280 Palestinians--including 20 children under the age of 16--were killed and at least 644 were wounded according to Gaza health official Dr. Moaiya Hassanain. As the air assault continued, the Associated Press reported that "Israel's Cabinet authorized the military to call up 6,500 reserve soldiers for a possible ground invasion and moved tanks, infantry and armored units to the Gaza border."

Stop the Massacre of Palestinians!
Emergency Demonstrations
See below for an updated listing of demonstrations
Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza have been massacred and wounded yesterday and today in Israel's massive bombing campaign against the people of Gaza. The bombing rampage began as thousands of Palestinian children were in the streets on their way home from school. Palestinian parents were running frantically in the streets looking for their children as U.S.-provided F-16s and Apache helicopters rained down more than 100 bombs and missiles on Gaza.
The U.S.-backed Israeli Occupation Force destroyed every security station in Gaza. AFP reported: "There was no space left in the morgue and bodies were piled up in the emergency room and in the corridors, as many of the wounded screamed in pain."
"Because of the U.S.-backed Israeli blockade and strangulation of the people of Gaza for the past 18 months there is little or no medicine to treat the wounded, electricity for hospitals, or food or clean water for much of the population.
An Israeli military spokesperson said, "The operation is 'only just beginning'." The Israeli Defense Ministry said in a statement: "The action will continue and will widen as much as is demanded according to the evaluation of the situation by the high command of the army."
Take Action:
- Demonstrations Across the Country"
-------------------------------------
I have numerous issues to what was stated in this blog and felt the need to post it and explain my grievances.
After reading the first two sentences I see two discrepancies, "In the first 24 hours of the murderous Israeli assault against Gaza, more than 280 Palestinians" This statement is putting forth that Israel is trying to murder Palestinians. My issue with this is that out of the "280" originally killed and to this day over 90% killed were fanatical Hamas operatives, organizers, financial supporters, and rocket launchers. This is not stated.
"Stop the Massacre of Palestinians!" I love this statement by people who have not witnessed this first hand, what about the innocent Israelis in Ashdod, Ashkelon, Sderot, and Beer Sheva who run to bomb shelters every day... I have run to the bomb shelters and seen the explosions, have you?
"Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza have been massacred and wounded yesterday and today in Israel's massive bombing campaign against the people of Gaza."
Again with the massacre talk? Really? Against the people of Gaza, okay let me get into how I feel about this statement. The people of Gaza that are claimed to be oppressed only by the EVIL Israelis... Israel had not even stepped foot on Gaza for over three years yet rockets were still being launched into Israel every day, if Mexico launched rockets into Texas every day would you not be upset and just say it is okay Mexico we understand why you try to kill our civilians during a cease fire and we will give you the rest of our country?
Israel is obviously after Hamas targets, if they were not they could of destroyed Gaza with one bomb, we all know the Israeli government is capable of this.
"The U.S.-backed Israeli Occupation Force destroyed every security station in Gaza. AFP reported: "There was no space left in the morgue and bodies were piled up in the emergency room and in the corridors, as many of the wounded screamed in pain."
Security stations used to stock pile weapons that will eventually be used to kill Israeli civilians??
"Because of the U.S.-backed Israeli blockade and strangulation of the people of Gaza for the past 18 months there is little or no medicine to treat the wounded, electricity for hospitals, or food or clean water for much of the population."
I really love this statement, the Israeli blockade is also enforced by Egypt which by chance is an Arab sate. What does that tell you? Me personally it tells me there has to be a good reason. For the past 18 months, hm I wondered what happened around that time. If I recall correctly Hamas became the government of Gaza and kept launching Qassam, Keytusha, and Grad rockets into Israel even throughout the six month cease-fire. "Little or no medicine to treat the wounded." What does the author of this article expect Israel to always give Gaza aid which YES they have done as I have went on a mission to the Gaza border over the summer when I was in the first weeks of basic training for the IDF. I dont see the Hamas leaders living in poverty, why cant they supply the Gazans with aid? What about Arafat's wife, after all she lives in Paris and gets over $1,000,000 a month. Wait the wife of the original Palestinian leader does not live with her people?! What about all of Arafat's personal bank accounts which is where all the funds for Gaza went and yes I can confirm this.
An Israeli military spokesperson said, "The operation is 'only just beginning'." The Israeli Defense Ministry said in a statement: "The action will continue and will widen as much as is demanded according to the evaluation of the situation by the high command of the army."
I do not know what to say about this except that it is necessary until rockets stop and I will back Israel on every action taken.
Now this post may seem like I am a 100% Zionist and want this war however, I do not want this war but it is necessary. Three years ago when israel completely handed Gaza over I was for this action because I thought peace would occur however it did not and now I regret Israel doing so because Hamas was able to stock up on weapons. I view the whole situation as objectively as possible and want there to be peace in the region ( ideally ending like "Don't Mess With the Zohan") however I know this is currently not realistic due to Hamas's idea that they can provoke Israel and not get their asses handed to them, if they would agree to stop firing rockets I know Israel would at that instant stop bombing and Palestinians could rebuild.
Happy New Year.
