Happening. MR JON

I wonder why YOU DO NOT HIGHLIGHT THIS PLIGHT OF
YOU visited But do YOU
VISIT And your Sunday, March 19,
2006
Dear
Friends:
A conversation with a
Muslim friend a couple of days ago. On AlJazeera, which I can no longer access
in English: It appears that a group in Texas, Kind Hearts, recently invested in
food, clothing for the poor Palestinians to send to them. They were
stopped, and now, Kind Hearts has been closed down (for "sending to the
terrorists"). Nothing has been seen in the American newspapers that we know
of.
Also, from AlJazeera,
in London, a woman wearing a Hijab got on a bus. She was ejected from the bus,
merely for wearing this head gear.
Please call and write
or email your local Representatives and your Senators and cry "Foul!" This
deprivation of food for the Palestinians is truly a genocide. Lawss are being
passed. Protest the one set up by Tom Lantos and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to stop
funding the Palestinians. Keep in mind that your United States Dollars (taxes)
are paying for the more than 3 billion that supports the Parasite,
Israel!
Keep the telephone
numbers by your telephone and try to call as often as is reasonable, at least
once or twice a month.

After weeks of Israeli closure, Gaza Strip is completely out of bread Middle East Media Center Agencies - Thursday, 16 March 2006, 18:53 All of the bakeries in the Gaza Strip are closed. Dependent on imports of flour, the 1.2 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, the most crowded place on earth in terms of population to land area, are now facing an unprecedented food crisis due to Israeli closures that have prevented the import of the grain. Completely controlled by Israeli military forces, the borders of the Gaza Strip resemble prison walls and gates around this crowded and undernourished strip of land along the Mediterranean Sea. The coastlines themselves are also tightly controlled, so that in most parts of Gaza, children spend their entire lives growing up within view of the sea, but unable to access it. Now, with the world focusing
on an Israeli attack on the Palestinian prison in Jericho, an event that many
Palestinians and Israelis view as a 'publicity stunt' by Israel to garner
support for the ruling Kadima Party in upcoming elections, the impoverished
population of the Gaza Strip waits, ignored and forgotten, for the Israeli
military to re-open their border crossing as was promised by Israeli leaders
last week so that their children will not
starve.
Palestinians in the Gaza
Strip were mainly employed in Israel, prior to the current open conflict that
broke out in September 2000. Since 2000, the unemployment rate has reached
levels of up to 80% in some areas, making the Palestinian population more and
more dependent on foreign imports and
aid.
Palestinian Economic Ministry
Undersecretary Mr. Nasser As'saraj confirmed that the Gaza Strip mills are empty
of flour as a result of the Israeli closure of the crossings used to import this
vital grain.
As'saraj confirmed Thursday
that the ministry has been in contact with the Israeli and Egyptian authorities
so as to have the crossings reopened so the Palestinian people will be able to
import the substantial and vital food stuffs such as flour, sugar and
rice.
"The Gaza Strip is facing a
serious problem; there is a crisis in this regard", Saraj
added.
Saraj pointed out that all
bakeries in the Strip are closed because there is no
flour.
Israeli authorities appeared
unconcerned about the severe shortage of food in the Gaza Strip. Top
advisor to the Israeli prime minister, Dov Weisglass, said recently that
Palestinians should be "put on a diet", referring to the imposition of sanctions
on the population as punishment for voting for the Hamas party in January's
democratic election. Despite the fact that the United Nations has
condemned the closure, and noted that 40% of children in the Gaza Strip suffer
from malnutrition, Israeli politicians seem entirely unconcerned with the fate
of the 1.2 million Gaza Palestinians -- a fate that is, at this point, entirely
in their hands.
