How many babies has Israel slaughtered today?
REUTERS reports:"An Israeli newspaper said Israel's offensive had so far destroyed a quarter of Hezbollah's fighting capabilities. [But the REUTERS continues] It has also killed 176 people and wounded more than 500, Lebanon's health ministry said. All but 13 of them were civilians. The dead include seven Canadians killed in a strike on a southern village on Sunday." [UPDATE - REUTERS: Israel's campaign has killed 203 people, all but 13 of them civilians, and wounded more than 500. Twenty-four Israelis have been killed in the fighting, including 12 civilians hit in rocket attacks.] This is just the beginning and it's just about Lebanon. The Palestinian Genocide by the Mass Murdering Israeli Beast is not even in the news anymore.
A few days ago, the Palestinian News Network reported:"Director of Public Relations at Gaza City's Al Shifa Hospital, Dr. Juma Al Sakka, confirmed the Palestinian Ministry of Health's report from earlier this week which stated that Israeli forces are using toxic weapons in the Gaza Strip. The doctor spoke on Thursday, giving the death count at 85 Palestinians in the Strip since the latest Israeli attack began. Among the dead are 34 children under the age of 13. And as of Thursday afternoon, 300 Palestinians are injured. Dr. Al Sakka told Voice of Palestine Radio that the Israeli army is using new types of non-conventional weapons against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the recent attacks. He said, "They are targeting the Palestinian body with unconventional weapons and with that comes a phenomena we have not seen before in any Israeli bombardment we have lived through for many years." He continued, "The hospital is central and sees almost all cases of injuries and deaths as a result of Israeli against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip. These Israeli bombings are entering the body and fragmenting, causing internal combustion leading to up to fourth degree internal burns, exposing the bone, and affecting the tissue and skin." The doctor added, "These tissues die, they do not survive, which obliges us to perform arm or leg amputations, and there are fragments which penetrate the body and do not show up on X-rays. When entering the body they spark like a combustion firearm, but not chemically. They seem radioactive." (...) He called on the international community to examine the latest weapons however the doctor reported that "no one has lifted a finger." Dr. Al Sakka complained that he did not see any foreign medical institution interested in the use of new weapons and their affects on the human body. He said, "What we found were journalists who came to take pictures, but as for the medical community, nothing."" The banality of evil gets into our homes between a talk show and the weather forecast when "our" TV channels normalize the unthinkable of massive crimes against humanity perpetrated by the racist, nuclear theocracy with the support of the other two genocidal regimes of Washington and London.
The three-headed monster frames our brains, our consciences and our will through the propaganda coming from the state-corporate media.
"The governments of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia are, to say the least, indifferent to the fate of Hamas and Hezbollah. The Palestine Liberation Organization (Fatah) isn't a player. The prime mover behind the terrorist groups who have started this war is a non-Arab state, Iran, which wasn't involved in any of Israel's previous wars." wrote in the Financial Times the American Neo-Con William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and Chairman of the Project for the New American Century [PNAC].
Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon... Blood seems to be never enough for these psychopaths. "This is our war, too" Mr. PNAC concludes. And for the country that since 1946 has slaughtered and plundered much of the world without the constitutional approval of its own Congress, Kristol's words have the gravity of a declaration of war.
But make no mistake, as Puppet George would say. There is NO Middle East "crisis". It's Kristol clear that there is only one "war", the Empire AGAINST Humanity. And too much hypocrisy in between.
