Gaza, Israel, and the Blood Pipeline

This kind of war
[T]he Palestinians have been made the sacrificial lambs of the imperial lust for land and power and the BBC (and not just the BBC but virtually the entire Western media) is a willing, indeed complicit participant in disguising what is undoubtedly a war crime of horrific dimensions by masking over the actions of a criminal and terrorist state with slick and meaningless words that disguise the barbarity of Israel’s actions behind all manner of legalese and prevarication. – William Bowles: Israel’s own Holocaust (and the US’s, and ours)

Ultimately, what is most notable about the “debate” in the U.S. over Israel-Gaza is that virtually all of it occurs from the perspective of Israeli interests but almost none of it is conducted from the perspective of American interests. – Glenn Greenwald. To wit: Steny Hoyer Wants Pro-Israel Resolution

A striking feature of the War in Gaza is the extraordinary immunity Israel has enjoyed to strike and kill at will. [...] On a visit to President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris this week, Tzipi Livni did not hesitate to declare that Israel was being attacked by Hamas’s rockets because it was “defending the values of the free world.” No, Ms Livni, George W. Bush may approve your murderous policies, but they have no place in the values which Western societies aspire to live by. – Patrick Seale

Israel’s real aim is not peaceful coexistence with its Palestinian neighbours but military domination. – Avi Shlaim
