One and a half million Palestinians are herded together inside a concentration camp under complete siege from Israel. NO FOOD, MEDICINE or any other essential GOODS are allowed across the Israeli controlled border.
While incarcerated in subhuman conditions of poverty and condemned to incredible hardships by the illegal occupation by Israeli of the Gaza Strip since 1968, the palestinian people are on the verge of desperation. Health and sanitary services are in complete collapse, hospitals without essential medication, no fuel for heating and energy supplied by generators.
While in the unsustainably fragile situation, Israel is making constant millitary attacks on "militants" killing several each day, including 18 palestinians in one day. Olmert has declared that Israel will make life in Gaza as "uncomfortable" as possible, while the Defense minister Barak said Israel "will hit Gaza hard".
The catastrophic situation has caused many world leaders to speak out against the "collective punishment of the people of Gaza", already suffering USA-led international sanctions. Although Hamas won the parliamentary elections in 2006, they are excluded from the USA sponsored -Israeli-Abbas peace agreement.
WHY has Israel "a right of defense" against rockets from Gaza and the West Bank, feebly launched in retalliation against the mighty military force of Israel?
WHY does Israel occupy Palestinian land and attack these people with overwhelming military force, destroying infra-structures and killing innocents and millitants alike?
WHY does Israel disregard all UN resolutions regarding the occupied territories and refugees?
WHY does Israel maintain its occupation of Palestinian land, controlling their lives, "incarcerating them in ghettos" while raining death and destruction in intensive military raids on their cities?
WHY does the USA "applaud" every Israeli move?
WHY does the USA supply Israel with millions of dollars in military aid and ballistic armament? WHY do Israeli settlers, who are mostly radicalized hard-line fundamentalist USA jews, continue building illegal settlements on Palestinian land?
WHEN will All Palestinian refugees be returned to their ancestral lands, compensated for half a century of inhuman suffering?
WHEN will Israel end its total regime of "apartheid" and discrimination against the Palestinian people?
WHEN will peace and goodwill reign in this cursed land?
