Gaza – The Blood-Soaked U.S.-Israeli “Ceasefire”
Israel promises troops legal backing over Gaza war
JERUSALEM, Jan 25 (Reuters) - International calls to investigate Israel over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip prompted Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday to promise military personnel state protection from foreign prosecution.
“The commanders and soldiers sent to Gaza should know they are safe from various tribunals and Israel will assist them on this front and defend them, just as they protected us with their bodies during the Gaza operation,” Olmert said.
WHITE PHOSPHOROUS
Rights group Amnesty International has said that Israel’s use of white phosphorus munitions — which can cause extreme burns — in built-up areas of the Gaza Strip was indiscriminate and therefore constituted a war crime.
Reluctant to engage in this emotional crisis of human atrocity. I’ve had enough of political factions twisting excuses to slaughter peopple indiscriminantly. One bad guy in the center of a village DOES NOT justify taking out the entire village!
Hollywood and governments impress the public with visions of “surgical” strike capability. This is the most absurd and blatant lie we have bought. To actually believe any side prefers to address a perpetrator directly is a fairy tale. The image of massive collateral damage is more effective. Public sympathy will fall one way or another. Angry responses are welcome to the stronger side. Atrocities are enabling factors for weapons manufacturers and war profiteers. We have just endured the Bush Administration, who allowed the military industrial complex to guide America’s Foreign and Domestic Policy. Not only does the atrocity of mass murder encourage war profiteers, but the environmental impact attracts infrastructure re-builders. There are profiteers around every corner, drooling at the potential provided by destruction. Making a place unlivable is as criminal as mutilating a population.
Right and Wrong no longer exist in today’s political world. What we see right now is economics at work.
The people who profit never felt a bullet or a bomb or had to search for food and water to survive.
This behavior is criminal, no matter who allows it. Whether Bush and his gang will ever answer for their crimes is up to history. Whether the World will ever recover depends on how many wake up in time to put the fire out.
