Palestine

[islamonline.net] On Saturday, December 27, 2008, a massive wave of Israeli air strikes against the sealed off Gaza Strip claimed the lives of at least 230 people and injured several hundred innocent Palestinians. The Israeli onslaught continues unabated over the already starving, tired and wounded people. Many commentators and reporters affirm that this is the worst massacre Gaza has been subjected to since Israel occupied it in 1967. Meanwhile, none of the formal parties whether they are international, Arab or Islamic have done anything yet to stop the continuing genocide.

Now, 3 days into the attacks, the death toll has reached 300 and the wounded 1000. These numbers are bound to increase as Israel promises further attacks.

Seeing the news on CNN/BBC makes me angry. Any Muslim would.

And the EXTREMELY BIASED reporting makes me even angrier.

I particularly loathe the Israeli Foreign Minister: Tzipi Livni for saying things like:

• "Hamas, not Israel, is the one who needs to be condemned by the international community."
• "Israel is a state that implements its right to defend itself and its citizens."
• "Hamas [is] responsible for breaking the cease-fire and for the renewal of violence in Gaza."
• the Jewish state had "no alternative" but to launch a series of attacks in Gaza
• they had tried everything in order to avoid this military operation, but that Israel would not live under attack by Hamas.
• "Israel is looking to give its citizens a decent life, the right to live in peace and quiet like any other citizens in the world."

Oh, the dripping hypocrisy!
Makes you want to throw your shoes at her, no??
