timeline

On June 9 2006, in the midst of it’s usual shelling of the Occupied Territories, Israel shelled a beach in Gaza, packed with families. Among the seven killed were 3 children.

“The Israeli army said it "regretted" the deaths and called a halt to the shelling.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,1794536,00.html

Thus ended the truce between Hamas and Israel. Shortly after, Hamas captured an Israeli soldier, and Israel went batshit crazy, thrashing about in Gaza like a captured alligator, killing and destroying. While this was going on, an atrocity in its own right, Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers, in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

And Israel attacked. Attacked like a rabid dog. And is still attacking. Killing hundreds of innocent Lebanese, wounding tens of thousands, and creating hundreds of thousands of refugees. Israel is destroying Lebanon’s infrastructure, and attacking its army units. Giving ultimatums that they know the Lebanese government has no means to fulfill.

Yes. Hezbollah is firing its ineffective rockets into Israel. But, and this is the big but, the rockets started after Israel attacked Lebanon.

That is the timeline, my friends. It seems that the incident on the beach has been forgotten. All the bullshit everyone is pushing is just that bullshit. Israel is committing an atrocity. A war crime. I can’t even read the numbers anymore. Among the innocent dead are hundreds of children. THAT is the reality.

As much as georgie’s Iraq adventure has been a war crime, an obscenity, so is Israel’s vicious attack on Gaza, still ongoing, and Lebanon, still ongoing.

So. I don’t want to hear your bleating about Israel defending itself. The Israelis have joined the Americans and British in the sex-death dance. The perversion of killing children has gripped them, and all else has paled for them. They have joined the Americans in turning the Middle East into a cesspool of obscenity. And there is no end in sight.
