In three days, the Free Gaza movement

sails 240 miles from Cyprus to Gaza, its

eighth mission to break Israel's

draconian siege on 1.5 million

Palestinians there. In the holds of the

FREE GAZA and the SPIRIT OF

HUMANITY will be tons of cement,

and suitcases full of toys, crayons

and coloring books for the children,

all items banned by Israel's

government.

SOME SENSITIVITIES:

In 1967, Israeli Defence Minister,

Moshe Dayan, said:

Palestinians “shall continue to

live like dogs” so they’ll leave.

*

In 1948, David Ben-Gurion stated:

“We have taken their country….

We must do everything to insure

they never return….

We must use terror, assassination,

intimidation, land confiscation, and

the cutting of all social services to rid

the Galilee of its Arab population.”

*

SOME WISE ADVICE RE IRAN / US

"To fix our Iran policy, the US president

would have to commit not to use force

to change the borders or the form of

government of the Islamic Republic. He

would also have to accept that Iran will

continue enriching uranium, and that the

only realistic potential resolution to the

nuclear issue would leave Iran in effect

like Japan — a nation with an increasingly

sophisticated nuclear fuel-cycle program

that is carefully safeguarded to manage

proliferation risks. Additionally, the

president would have to accept that Iran’s

relationships with Hamas and Hezbollah will

continue, and be willing to work with Tehran

to integrate these groups into lasting settle-

ments of the Middle East’s core political

conflicts".....continued. by Flynt Leverett

International rules of war ?

Israel’s unashamed reason

for breaking them

The former head of the ILD, Colonel

Daniel Reisner, spoke frankly: "What

we are seeing now is a revision of

international law," Reisner said. "If

you do something for long enough,

the world will accept it. The whole of

international law is now based on the

notion that an act that is forbidden

today becomes permissible if executed

by enough countries. "International

law progresses through violations.

We invented the targeted assassination

thesis and we had to push it."

ISRAELi SOLDIERS MURDERED

PALESTINIAN SOLDIERS TO USE

THEIR ORGANS FOR SAVING

ISRAELI LIVES

“The Israeli army had been known to take

bodies of Palestinian martyrs and steal their

organs without the Palestinian family’s

consent. The organs would then be given

to Israelis who needed them. So a Palestinian

killed by the IOF, mostly for no reason at all

or for defending his country, would be

labelled as terrorist by Israel and the biased

media, while his organs would be used to save

Israeli lives. In other countries, stealing the

organs of dead people is considered a crime,

but as usual, it doesn’t apply to Israel”.
