Scenes from Gaza via Al Jazeera

by TheBaByG, repost
End all US government "aid" to Israel. Boycott Israel internationally.

The Palestinian People have been suffering from Israel for decades.
Israel Is a big military state, supported by the USA, where as Palestine and Gaza, are considered as Ghetto- fighters in comparison.
The last 8 years Israel has suffered the loss of 20 people, and this is the reason, the claim, that they have now launched the war on Gaza.
A little over 3 weeks in and 1300 palestinians, 1/3 of which are children, have now lost their lives.
Water, fuel, medicine and food shortage leaves the people of Gaza, and their children, in a total and absolute crisis.
The homes of thousands have been destroyed, Hospitals and schools have been bombed.
Israel also uses While Phosphorous, Which Is banned by the Geneva Convention, because of the damages it cause to heavy populated areas. Severe 2nd and 3rd degree burns, fires and peoples eyes melts. The White Phosphorous was used during WW2, and USA also used it in Afghanistan and Iraq. It has a range of 150-250 meter diameter, and is seen clearly as the White Phosphorous looks like a jellyfish of explosions and the white smoke lays like a blanket over the Heavily populated Gaza strip. You can see it several times in this video.
Gaza is a small place, where 1.5 million Palestinians (Over 50% are children) are caged in, with no ways of getting out of the Gaza borders.
The truce in Gaza over the last 6 months before Israel attacked, was still an occupation of Israeli troops guarding the Gaza borders. The blockade has made the people desperate for life necessary means like medical supplies, food and water. The underground tunnels have mainly been used to smuggle food, water, fuel and medical supplies, as well as weapons. The rockets Hamas send over to Israel is NOT to be compared with any weapons that the Israeli Army use. They are handmade and their not guided missiles and the damages it cause is nothing close to what a bomb from Israel does.
Now, the humanitarian Crisis is absolute.
UN requires 500 trucks with humanitarian Aid into Gaza a day. Israel allows around 50 trucks to enter.
Channel 10 Israel, does not report from both sides, even tho they claim to be the least biased channel in Israel. American news does not show the harshness of this war.
Aljazeera is the ONLY channel with reporters inside and outside of the Gaza borders.

Even though dozens of leaders around the world, UN and EU envoys have clearly criticized this war, Nothing is happening and people continue to die. The Israeli public is being brainwashed by selective TV coverage of the war and thus supports the war, The only way Israel can be stopped it seems is through economic boycott of Israeli Products.
Do not support any of the companies below and find alternatives, so as to make Israel aware that Genocide is not acceptable!
