"Now Is The Time To Fight"

The above quote is fromĀ Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

Never Again... That is usually the sentiment when thinking about the genocide against Native Americans or German Jews. I even hear a lot about ending the genocide in Darfur. The actions of Israel against Palestine are nothing short of genocide. Genocide.



I am at a loss of what to even type.

In recent times, Israel has kept Gaza on the brink of starvation and collapse. Almost no one is allowed in or out. Periodically, the Israeli Defense Forces will enter Gaza to kill people. If Hamas, the elected body of the Palestinian people, (or anyone else) reacts in self defense, Israel becomes outraged, blames, Gazans, tightens its grib, and intensifies the genocidal situation.

Israel has launched unprecedented airstrikes on Gaza. Over 200 people have been killed. Over 400 are wounded- most are civilians. Streets are lined with dead bodies and blood. Hospitals cannot cope.

Now what are WE to do?
