ISRAEL MORE DESTRUCTIVE TO PALESTINIANS THAN THE EARTHQUAKE IS TO HAITI

    I see that Israel, along with many other nations, is sending aid to earthquake and empire stricken Haiti.  It is a good thing for the Haitians who have been struck with not only the poverty imposed by neocolonialism and the local rule by a capitalist oligarchy but a devastating earthquake as well.

What about the Palestinians, though?  Hasn't Israel spend decades and billions of dollars, often American tax dollars, to impose a very unnatural disaster on the Palestinians.

Yes, the Israelis may send some aid to the Haitians, but if they were Palestinians the Israelis would be giving each other high fives and make sure the Palestinians are without necessary resources.  Israel starves and tortures the Palestinians, seeking to force them to "make the decision" to leave Palestine.


Yesterday I read of another typical Israeli act of compassion.  Once again a Palestinian child in need of medical care was denied the chance for life.  The Israelis didn't let the kid through to get medical care, now she is dead.  No emergency relief for the Palestinians came from Israel, only a sentence of death.  This happens hundreds of times a year.  Poor little, Israel, killing kids because they are Palestinians. 



When will the siege of 1.2 million Palestinians in Gaza end?  Siege, this most forbidden of war crimes is something Israel, the US and Egypt all endorse.  The PLO also agrees.  Arafat must be spinning in his grave!


The Palestinians were never stricken by a natural disaster like the Haitians, but the Israelis and Anglo-American imperialism have been far more destructive than any earthquake or hurricane, far worse for the Palestinians and at the end of the day far worse for Judaism which is now associated with these genocidal policies because of the barbaric acts of Israel.

Today the Palestinians live in a Haitian-like poverty because of the economic, political and military strangulation of the Palestinian people and every aspect of their society by Israel. 

When will the Israeli strangulation of Palestine end?
