Gaza In Rubble, But IAF Strikes Fail To Stop Rocket Fire At

[Striker4928]

Universally regarded as the symbol of peace, the olive tree has become the object of violence. For more than 40 years, Israel has uprooted over one million olive trees and 100s of 1000s of fruit trees in Palestine with disastrous economic and ecological consequences for Palestinians. Under the LIE of "redeeming" land the Jews LIE God gave them and the trees they are supposed to preserve, Israel continues to violently expropriate Palestinian land. There is only one thing Israel stands for, NAZISM

[Striker4928]

Israeli military brings in the bulldozers to uproot trees in the way of its "security" wall and where they are in the way of illegal settlements. Many olive trees are 700 to 1000 years old. These precious trees are being replaced by roads, infrastructure, Israeli military barracks & factories with massive destruction of the environment. If Israel has its way, neither the trees nor the Palestinians who have cared for them will survive the barbaric ethnic and environmental cleansing of Palestine.

[Striker4928]

Palestinian farmers have made their living

for centuries from olive cultivation and olive oil; 80% of cultivated land in the West Bank and Gaza is planted with olive trees. In the West Bank alone, some 100,000 families are dependent on olive sales. Today the olive harvest provides Palestinian farmers with up to 50% of their annual income, for many their basic means of survival. Palestinian farmers are prevented from reaching their agricultural lands to tend and harvest their crops.

[Striker4928]

Israel NEEDS the rockets and instigates rocket attacks on itself. Maintaining low grade violence is necessary for the ongoing Israeli policies of presenting Palestinians as "terrorists", and presenting Israeli colonization projects and military operations to crush Palestinians - both in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip - as their sham "fight against terror".

Israel are terrorists :( to kill innocent is always a crime

[GallowayWatch]

hamas are the ones who launched thousands of grad missiles on israeli cities for months.

israel has been warning them to stop but they kept attacking israeli civilians, leaving israel no choice but to act against hamas

[Striker4928]

Israel has no choice? What about Israel's choice in killing civilians DAILY, in both West Bank & Gaza? That's not called attacking civilians? Are you stupid? What about Israel's regular demolition of palestinian homes for theft of land? And Israel's effort to turn Palestinians into slaves & a starving underclass? Ever heard of the Warsaw Ghetto where Jews wore yellow stars? Israel models itself after Nazis & their concentration camps. Israel pretends to be "jewish" but it worships Hitler as God.

[GallowayWatch]

it is hamas that was attacking israelis daily and israel did not retaliate for 3 years until now.

[Striker4928]

You're way too brainwashed. Israel has no ceasefire. Amnesty International, Human Rights watch and UN have already stated Israel's terror raids are a crime against humanity. So Palestinians react with random tinfoil home made rockets and Israel/US brainwashes you about "hamas" Israel targest all Palestinains. Hey I would do the same if ruthless barbarians like Israelis attacked every family and house to steal my land. Look cowards are everywhere, maybe you wouldn't defend yourself, but I would.

[GallowayWatch]

hamas don't react. they initiate. israel didn't touch gaza since they left it in 2005 and hamas kept firing rockets at israeli cities. the sanctions were a response to the rocket fire, not the other way around.

your lies only make your side seem more and more unreliable. stop twisting the facts and mixing cause and effect.

hamas made it clear their intention is to conquer all of israel, kill all the jews, and establish an islamic regime. so anyone who supports hamas is a racist terrorist

[Striker4928]

What the hell? Hamas has no clout to carry out your delusions, you idiot. You are a racist terrorist if you support Israel's ethnic cleansing. The real terrorists are the IDF who have stage raids that kill civilians in both the West Bank and Gaza and yes since 2005. The Israelis have a determined program of ethnic cleansing going on. 100's of innocent civilians are been slaughtered regularly in Israel's gangland style hits on the Palestinian population.

[Striker4928]

Israel denies basic human rights-the right to food, water, shelter security & dignity. Israel imposes draconian sanctions for democratically electing a govt not to its liking. Israel seals a heavily populated territory of 1.5 mill people so that no person can enter or leave without permission, fishermen cannot fish in their own waters, & world food aid can't be delivered to the starving population. Israel shuts off fuel water and electricity & then rains down on people, bombs and artillery fire

[Striker4928]

Israelis used "sound machines" that emit ear-piercing explosions, deployed in Gaza City to shatter windows, cause miscarriages, and send children into deep trauma, a terror device to produce massive fear and anxiety. Israel keeps 10,000 prisoners locked up without charges and 500 of them are woman & children. Deputy defence minister Vilnai admitted himself he would bring "a holocaust" against Gaza. The handbook of Israel is Hitler's Mein Kampf and they copy his concentration camps.

[Striker4928]

In just one documented raid of thousands, IDF took over several houses for 5 days in West Bank and killed 22 people. 3 houses were destroyed and groves of olive, citrus & almond trees were bulldozed. They destroyed 22 bee-hives and the sheep of 61 year old farmer. Israeli soldiers confined a family to one room for 5 days where they only survived by drinking fish pond water. Snipers took up positions in windows & shot at anybody they saw, including a 56 year old who just went out to get water.

[Striker4928]

The Israeli army has rampaged through Gaza killing & demolishing, bombing & shelling indiscriminately. Palestinians get an unknown voice on their phone saying they have 1/2 hour to leave their home before it's hit by bombs or missiles. There's no appeal. Israelis have destroyed 70% of orange groves, stopped fishermen from going out in boats. More than 50% of population is out of work & per capita income is less than $2 a day. Israel bombs civilian power stations, electricity grids and schools.

[Striker4928]

About 40 percent of West Bank is off-limits to Palestinians. There are more

than 120 settlements built on confiscated land & separate roads for the 250,000

Israeli settlers. More than 600 vehicle checkpoints and obstacles slow travel

in the West Bank, an area smaller than Delaware. Soldiers admit their job is to bulldoze Arab homes in Nablus-as well as threaten, arrest, injure or kill Palestinians with impunity. Protesters including 8 year olds are shot or locked up for days of beatings.

[Striker4928]

IDF have fired canisters of forbidden nerve gas into houses in the West Bank. It is standard Israeli military procedure to conduct tank raids & take over civilian homes as snipers' nests and hideouts, holding the occupants at gunpoint without food or water. According to the testimonies of victims and from Israeli soldiers, this process involves theft of property, vandalism and violence against unarmed civilians. It happens to Fatah families, not just Hamas.

[Striker4928]

Israel is a war criminal terrorist nation patterned after Nazi Germany's ethnic cleansing. The prime ethnic cleansing tool is, forever, land grab of Palestinian property while expanding settlements. Stages this are evident in the originally rural part of the West Bank which is 60% of its area. More than 10% of West Bank land has been transferred to direct control of settlements. Palestinians are prisoners in their own villages-their economy, health, education crushed by organized Israel machine

[Striker4928]

Who initiates ETHNIC CLEANSING? After being elected Hamas implemented a complete ceasefire with Israel. For a whole week, not a single rocket was fired. But then, after only one day as Defence Minister, the new Minister Barak started an operation to hunt down people in the region. Five Palestinians were killed. As if by magic, firing of rockets towards Sderot resumed the very next day. Israel propaganda states both citizens & non-citizens are A "DEMOGRAPHIC DANGER WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED"

[Striker4928]

Palestinian families in Gaza are unable to offer their children more than one meager meal a day, mostly rice and boiled lentils. Fresh fruit and vegetables and meat are beyond the reach of most families. Fish is unavailable in markets because the Israeli navy has stopped Gaza's fishermen. 70% of Gaza's workforce is now unemployed, 80% of its residents live in grinding poverty. About 1.2 million of them are dependent for day-to-day survival on food handouts from U.N. or international agencies.

[Striker4928]

Israel's Nazi policy has meant steady increase in malnutrition. flourmills shut down & wheat supplies are gone. Bakeries stop baking bread. Industries shut down because they can't get imports of raw materials to produce goods. Any agricultural goods cannot export their harvests & containers sit at the crossing points, rotting. It is a violation of international law to collectively punish more than a million people for something they did not do, but Israel ignores this and the Geneva convention.

[mikko522]

Lol Gaza in rubble!?? If that were the case would anyone be there to take these pix?

[bhatindawalla]

Why did the gunman stopped the cameraman from filming. Maybe the pallywood production had not come.
