MOHAMED ARIFF: Time to dispel media untruths about Palestine WHAT is taking place in the Middle East is not a "war on Gaza", as it is labelled, but a genocide if not holocaust of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, brutally carried out by Israel, condoned, if not aided, by the United States.
The US provides not only the weapons used by the Israeli regime but also the money to finance such operations. The US blindly supports Israel, apparently coerced by the powerful pro-Israel lobby. What really matters to Israel is US support, not United Nations resolutions. The fact remains that Israel has no qualms committing crimes against humanity with absolute impunity, as long as it has US support. Seen in these terms, the US is equally guilty of war crimes being committed in Gaza in the name of Israel's self-defence. Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed, 40 per cent of them women and children, and more than 3,000 Palestinians have been injured in Gaza, not to mention the colossal collateral damage inflicted on buildings and infrastructure. http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Thursday/Columns/2452966/Article/index_html As the world sits still by and does nothing....Innocent women and children are being murdered and the U.S is getting partial blame. I think Israel attacked when they did because they know Obama will not put up with this kind of crap! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World-thread" group.
