for reasons other than the obvious, it important to remember the jewish lobby is deeply in the pockets of US politicians and parties on both sides of the aisle..even if they wanted to speak out against whats happenning theyd have to tow the party line or be outcast...has any elected official in the US said anything other than the usual 'Israel has a right to defend itself' BS? i doubt it

even Bernie Sanders voted to support the action in Gaza...pretty sure it was unanimous approval in the senate

Irishwoman Elaine Bradley is working as a human rights activist in Palestine where she sent us this report this morning.

Elaine writes:

Waking up I turn on my laptop to see what has happened in the while I slept. I am almost instantly hit by an image. I can’t make out if it is one body ripped in two, or two bodies, both missing a number of parts.

By the clothes on one, I am guessing it it is a young man – jeans and a belt that my son might wear. The human remains are against a wall in a pool of blood, draped over with blood soaked sheets. The photo is taken in a hospital, and is accompanied by the bizarre scene of the twisted metal of hospital beds in the total wreckage of what was a ward.

My friend who posted this image declares that he has a policy of not posting gruesome photos, a policy that he has now abandoned. Why? Because “This is the hospital that Israel shelled today… But the BBC felt it was better use of our license fee money to have [reporter] John Simpson show us a broken chandelier in Sderot instead.”

Five people were killed and 70 injured in this place of healing, where men and women work, dedicating their lives to comfort and to mend other sick and broken human beings. I think of my daughter who is a nurse. Hospitals have special status, special protection under international law, as they should. Bombing a hospital is a war crime.

And yet this is the second hospital that Israel has bombed that I am aware of in the two weeks of this onslaught, where one of the world’s most sophisticated military machines has pitted itself against a locked in, half starved civilian population.

Where are the international community? Where are the guardians of the laws demanding that this stop? Yesterday I saw Navi Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights with the UN on television. It was in Arabic so I didn’t know what she said. I went to the internet and found her statement.

The bit that jumped out and slapped me in the face was where she expressed her “concern”. Concern? I am concerned about things like the size of my phone bill and whether my cat has settled in to her new home. Concern for Gaza, where now over 570 people have been killed, 80% civilians, last count 132 of them children. Over 3,500 people injured and maimed – a 5 year old with her legs amputated, Concerned? What about outraged? Appalled? Horrified?

The UN are concerned and the mask is off. This latest holocaust against Gaza has exposed a world where our media lie, and spin the truth. Where craven politicians will not stand against power – John Kerry saying Israeli is besieged by Hamas- do I laugh or cry? My own government repeating the zombie mantra about Israel’s right to defend itself as they watch women and children buried in the rubble of their own homes.

And all the while Israel continues its colonisation of Palestine, settling jews from Eastern Europe and the Bronx on land that is not theirs, criminalising – labelling as terrorists the rightful owners, to make their misdeeds acceptable to a willing-to-be-appeased-just-give-us-the-right-soundbite global audience.

Say “Hamas” often enough and no one will notice. Exposed is a world where the institutions of human rights and justice offer platitudes but no action and hold yet another emergency meeting, having never implemented the recommendations of the last report, or the one before, as to do so would “jeopardise the peace process” according to the US and Israel. The Fucking Peace Process?

And while the UN frowns a collective bureaucratic, high salaried, important people in suits doing important things frown of concern, a friend of mine is pulling out the stops, navigating Israel’s impenetrable system of closure to get baby formula into Gaza. From the complications, it is as if he were smuggling crack cocaine inside AK47s.

I haven’t had my coffee yet, haven’t woken up. But I swear, that I will turn my rage into action for justice. Israel cannot once again evade accountability for these crimes. And to all the institutions that have collaborated in this gross injustice, by repeating the lies or by looking the other way, you will crumble and fall. The mask is off and people know.

We have seen that in your system human rights are not for everyone, that one life is precious and another is less than insignificant. We have seen that not all children are treasures to be cherished and childhood is not a sacred space for all children. We have seen that in your world it is ok for homes and places of worship and hospitals to become the killing zones, the tombs of innocent people. We have seen how liars and psychopaths with power are bowed down to. But justice will prevail because now we, the people know.

Elaine Bradley.

Hasbara plumbs new depths of moral squalor. They clearly dont care about all the palestinian lives being lost

Mixed reactions to Israelis' erotic moral-boosting Facebook effort
Concerned Israeli citizens set up Facebook page that seeks to 'keep Israel's cliff steadfast.'

Israel's Operation Protective Edge, now in its third week, was given a different title is Hebrew: 'Operation Steadfast Cliff.' Yesterday, some concerned Israeli citizens gave the world a new Facebook page that, according to its title, seeks to 'keep the cliff steadfast.'

The page calls on Israeli women to show their support of IDF troops by snapping and uploading erotic photos of their bodies, upon which uplifting messages for Israel's troops are scrawled. The pages short intro explains: "We are 'raising' the national morale… You keep us safe from above, and we will watch you from below!"

The page is being received with mixed emotrions. One person wrote "I must admit, I am a great fan of this page… You have found the way to give our soldiers the most uplifting present without even leaving the house. I thank you, in the name of every soldier who got a moment of peace and a reason to enter the battlefield with a smile on his face. Be he married or single, be he pious or a player, a big thank you from all soldiers, for the self- confidence and the strength of soul you teach us."

Others were less positive. "I don't want to bum you out, but wow - bad idea. Good execution, bad idea. Thanks, but no thanks to whoever invited me to this group," said one. Another quipped: "Boys, what about the gay soldiers? They need to know you are behind them, too, so join the effort and send your naked photos!"

interesting point about him speaking up, As an actor in a profession and arena dominated by jewish power players and brokers/agents it's maybe not surprising more from hollywood havent voiced their outrage. Held to ransom in a different way i guess.

This fight is not over piece of land, its about Jihad.

Hi Sivan, I am only recently learning about the details surrounding the history of the conflict. I'm curious if you say this isnt over a piece of land, what are your thoughts on the 1967 border dispute then?

and im a little surprised at rr saying we should be ashamed when questioning our leaders (USA)... Good response Gimme... So I stumbled upon this, though its a few years old, is Obama not sticking to this??

"We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states," Obama continued.
