Another Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not
worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza
might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She
said "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well,
that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the

unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress,

Israel.
How to Kill a Palestinian
Dr. Elias Akleh, thepeoplesvoice.org
Jan 29, 2009
Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the
Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed
that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and
had launched at least 2500 air raids against Gaza Strip. The
television military correspondent stated that the Israeli warplanes
had dropped more than a thousand tons of explosives, including white
phosphorous and DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) bombs, during three
weeks on the virtually unarmed densely populated 360 square Kilometers
Strip. He added that the shells fired by tanks, artillery, gunboats,
and infantry were not included in those fired by the air force.
After a whole week of continuous air bombardments Israel sent in its
elite foot soldiers; 30,000 of them, and called in 10,000 of its
reservists. Armed with the latest weapons of mass murder, covered with
an umbrella of free reigning air force, and accompanied with raining
shells of heavy artilleries, they drove their tanks into the civilian
towns murdering civilians and destroying every structure in their
path.
Living outside of Gaza one cannot fully understand the barbarity of
this genocide especially when the Western media had barely covered any
of its atrocity. To gain a slight idea of its enormity one should
remember that, during the 6-days war of 1967, this same Israeli army
was distributed on four fronts; Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, and
Lebanese, and it was fighting regular armies. Now the whole brunt of
this army is concentrated on a small strip against unarmed and
untrained civilian population.
Latest official count was 1350 murdered, 40% of them were children,
and 5300 were injured; mutilated and amputated. It was reported that
80% of the injured were the victims of burning phosphorous bombs. More
dead are being discovered under the rebels, and many seriously injured
are expected later on to die.
Israeli tanks had left several city blocks completely destroyed
without any homes or structure standing. The tanks shelled homes and
apartment towers. Due to the small size of Gaza Strip Palestinians had
to build vertically. Many apartment towers went up 15-20 stories high
with each story containing 6-8 apartments. A total of 20,000 buildings
were completely or partially burnt and damaged. The UN has reported
that more than 50,000 Palestinians are left homeless and are now
crowded into 50 emergency shelters. An estimated of 50,000 more are
living with relatives and in tents they erected on the ruins of their
homes.
The Israeli bombardment targeted everything in Gaza including
government buildings, police headquarters, banks and business offices,
the main university, 67 schools sheltering civilians, shopping centers
and market places, factories, water, sewer, and electricity
infrastructures, private homes and apartment towers and charity
organizations. Farms, including their animals, were also targeted and
hundreds of acres of crops and fruit groves were incinerated.
Religious buildings, where civilians usually seek shelter, were
specifically targeted. Israeli fighter planes had completely destroyed
41 mosques, and partially damaged 51 others. One church was also
targeted. Even cemeteries were not spared; 5 of them were bombed.
Although the Israeli army was given the exact GPS co-ordinates of
every UN structure, as asserted by Christopher Gunness, the UNRWA
spokesman, Israeli F-16 planes had repeatedly dropped phosphorous
bombed on UN schools knowing very well that hundreds of civilians had
taken shelter there. At least 45 children and women were burnt and
murdered there.
The UN headquarters in Gaza City was also hit with three, not just
one, phosphorous bombs burning tons of humanitarian aid and food
stuff. The fire kept on burning for three days. UN-flagged
humanitarian convoy was also shelled killing one driver.
Medical centers and paramedics were not spared. The Red Crescent
Al-Quds hospital in Tal el-Hawa neighborhood was hit by Israeli shells
and caught on fire. Other two hospitals; Al-Wafa and Al-Fata
hospitals, were also shelled, leading the World Health Organization to
express its deep concern about the serious implications of such
bombardments. 16 other smaller health clinics and 16 ambulances were
also damaged. Medics were targeted and prevented from helping the
injured. Ten of them, including two doctors, were murdered.
Media centers were particularly targeted. Local and international news
reporters were prevented from entering Gaza. Those, who were able to
enter, were directly targeted. The Al-Shuruq office tower housing
several international and Arab media outlets was directly hit. Two
cameramen working for Abu Dhabi TV were injured, while the offices of
Reuters News Agency, Fox TV, Sky, and Al-Arabiya TV offices were
damaged. Another raid had damaged the headquarter offices of Al-Resala
newspaper.
Similar to all their previous wars the Israeli soldiers had committed
massacres against Palestinian unarmed civilians. They have used
internationally banned weapons such as phosphorous bombs, DIME, and
depleted uranium, as reported by international physicians,
eyewitnesses, and military experts. Israeli soldiers had mutilated the
bodies of their victims to instill terror in the hearts of people
hoping they will leave Gaza. Israeli soldiers herded many families in
one building using them as human shield, and then later on bombed the
building on top of them. They shot civilians, mainly children,
directly and at point blank. The bodies of some children were found
shot several times; as many as 18 bullets in the body of a 12 years
old girl, and 12 bullets in the body of her 2 years old sister.
Israeli soldiers had wiped off whole Palestinian families. Al-Samuni
family lost 11 members, Abu Aisha family lost 6, Batran family lost 6,
al-Rayyan family lost 15 and al-Balousha family lost 5 sisters. Other
families, too many to mention here, were either murdered or
incinerated by the phosphorous bombs. The Israeli army has been
carrying out a deliberate indiscriminate mass murder. During the first
Intifada, 1987 – 1993, they murdered 1162 Palestinians. During the
second Intifada, 2001- 2006, they murdered 5500 Palestinians. Now, in
a short period of three weeks, they murdered 1350 Palestinians.
This onslaught is a holocaust since the many tons of phosphorous
bombs, dropped on Gaza cities, had burnt civilians to the bones, burnt
their homes and buildings, and burnt their fields and crops. This is
the holocaust that the Israeli Deputy Defense Minister, Matan Vilnai,
had threatened Palestinians with when he stated: "the more Qassam fire
intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they will bring upon
themselves a bigger shoah (holocaust) because we will use all our
might to defend ourselves."
One cannot help but wonder how could a group of people, who claim to
be the victims of a holocaust, commit another holocaust against
another nation. What is it that feeds, perpetuates and intensifies
this Judaic genocidal spirit although all Arabs, including
Palestinians, had offered these Zionist Jews many agreements of
coexistence, peace and security? The answer comes through their media
outlets, through the words of their scholarly educators, and through
the teachings of their Rabbis.
"All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even
their beasts" cries the religious opinion of Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, the
director of the long-established Tsomet Religious Institute. He wrote
that Palestinians are like the nation of Amalekites, who attacked the
Israelite tribes led by Moses on their way to Jerusalem. He stated
that the Lord sent down in the Torah a ruling that allowed the Jews to
kill the Amalekites, and that this ruling is known in Jewish
jurisprudence.
The Torah states: "Annihilate the Amalekites from the beginning to the
end. Kill them and wrest them from their possessions. Show them no
mercy. Kill continuously, one after the other. Leave no child, plant,
or tree. Kill their beasts, from camels to donkeys." Rosen stated that
Amalekites are not a particular race, but rather all those who hate
and oppose the Jews; Christians and Muslims.
Many leading Israeli Rabbis support Rosen's views. Israel's former
Sephardic Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu advocated carpet bombing of
Gaza stating that "there is absolutely no moral prohibition against
the indiscriminate killing of civilians during massive military
offensive on Gaza" (The Jerusalem Post, 30 May, 2007). His son Rabbi
Shmuel Eliyahu amplified his father's genocidal call stating: "if they
don't stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand, then we
must kill 10,000 and even a million"
Many Rabbis had argued that Palestinians in Gaza are not innocent
civilians and that during war time it is not individuals but nations
the Israelis are fighting. (It seems that Hitler had adopted this
Telmudic teaching when he persecuted all European Jews)
Israeli educators, scholars, and politicians, openly, advocate the
annihilation of all Palestinians. Dr. Nachum Rakover, a legal scholar,
opined "They voted for killers and sent them to kill us. To call them
(civilians) innocent is a tragic comedy… civilians are partners of the
killers" Eli Yeshai, Israeli official in the Orthodox Shas party
argued that "extermination of the enemy is sanctioned by the Torah"
Many other politicians called for the need for "wiping off Gaza from
the face of earth", and "annihilating of every moving thing there."
The right-wing Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman proposed nuking
Gaza following the US example when it dropped the atomic bomb on Japan
during WWII.
This "ideology of annihilation" is by no means a minority opinion in
Israel, but represents a mainstream in the Jews of Israel as well as
Jews in the West (US). The popular attitude is "if it was right by God
to order us to commit genocide during Biblical time, why can't it be
right to commit genocide now. Has God changed his mind?" Indeed Judaic
god is a racist genocidal god.
Watch and listen here to an example of how Israeli Jews are
brainwashed and indoctrinated into the ideology of annihilation by
their rabbis and scholars through Israeli media. Watch Max
Blumenthal's videotape of a group of messianic Orthodox Jewish
Chabad-Lubavitch exhibit this ideology in NYC in January 11, 2009.
The Israeli spokesman, Nachman Abramovic demonized Palestinian
children stating "They may look young to you, but these people are
terrorists at heart. Don't look at their deceptively innocent faces,
try to think of the demons inside each of them … I am absolutely
certain these people would grow to be evil terrorists if we allowed
them to grow… would you allow them to grow to kill your children or
finish them off right now? … honost and moral people ought to
differentiate between true humans and human animals. We do kill human
animals and we do so unapologetically. Besides who in the West is in a
position to lecture us on killing human animals. After all, whose
hands are clean?"
Human animal mentioned by Abramovic refers to the Judaic religious
belief that Jews are Gods chosen people; the elite and the
pure-blooded, while all others (non-Jews, Goyims, gentiles) are animal
souls incarnated into human bodies to serve the Jews. Killing a human
animal is just a sport like hunting deer or birds.
Another Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not
worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza
might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She
said "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well,
that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the
White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American
president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the
unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress,
we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything
in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can't criticize
Israel"
