From a meaningless life to a meaningless death
Najwa Sheikh Ahmed, Nusierat Camp, Gaza Strip
The sky is still blue as I remember, I haven’t seen it since three days, I almost forgot how beautiful it looks in a sunny day in winter, I wish I cold walk on the beach and enjoy some peace.
I moved with my husband, my kids to his family house since three days, we left our beach apartment where the view is very nice to find a secure place, where the kids can not hear the loud sound of the explosions and wake up frightened and crying. I can not give them any assurances that tomorrow will be better for them, and that they will be save. They stopped asking us when this going to have an end, and when they can be back to their normal life as children.
Questions & Answers on the Israeli holocaust in Gaza
Khalid Amayreh
“This is a translation of an Arabic interview with the author”
Question: Israel says it is only defending itself against recurrent attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian “terrorist” organizations?
Answer: All aggressors say they are only defending themselves. Nazi Germany said it was defending itself. Israel is the last country in the world that is fit to complain about terrorism. After all, Israel represents, encapsulates and embodies terror in its ugliest and most nefarious forms.

Top 5 Lies About Israel’s Assault on Gaza
Jeremy R. Hammond
Lie #1) Israel is only targeting legitimate military sites and is seeking to protect innocent lives. Israel never targets civilians.
The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime.
Moreover, the people Israel claims are legitimate targets are members of Hamas, which Israel says is a terrorist organization. Hamas has been responsible for firing rockets into Israel. These rockets are extremely inaccurate and thus, even if Hamas intended to hit military targets within Israel, are indiscriminate by nature. When rockets from Gaza kill Israeli civilians, it is a war crime.
The US Army Document That Proves the US is the World's Number One Sponsor of World Terrorism
Len Hart
In a 'manual' which was officially to be released only to 'students from foreign countries on a case-by-case basis only', the US Army outlines a program of what it now calls 'irregular warfare', in fact US state sponsored terrorism, insurgency, and PSYOPS.
1-21. Waging protracted IW depends on building global capability and capacity. IW will not be won by the United States alone but rather through combined efforts with multinational partners. Combined IW [Irregular Warfare, euphemism for TERRORISM] will require the joint force to establish a long-term sustained presence in numerous countries to build partner capability and capacity. This capability and capacity extends U.S. operational reach, multiplies forces available, and provides increased options for defeating adversaries. The constituent activities of IW are:
On the Israeli offensive in Gaza that began on 27 December 2008: Two differing perspectives
chycho
On 29 December 2008, I attended a peace rally in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and was fortunate enough to find two people willing to talk about their perspectives on the Israeli offensive in Gaza that began two days earlier. My thanks to both interviewees.
What follows are their perspectives:

America's War on Islam: The 'Fort Dix Five'
Stephen Lendman
With world eyes on Gaza, the horrific carnage on the ground, innocent civilians being slaughtered, Israel's grievous crimes of war and against humanity, and its slow-motion genocide gaining speed, it's easy to forget America's war at home on Islam and its growing number of victims. This article highlights five recent ones - innocent young Muslim men called the "Fort Dix Five."
On December 22, The New York Times headlined: "5 Are Convicted of Conspiring to Attack Fort Dix" in reporting that a federal jury "convicted five men of conspiring to kill American soldiers at (the base) last year, but acquitted them of attempted murder."
Immigration within the camp
Najwa Sheikh Ahmed
Word stands helpless in front of the continuous sufferings of the Gaza people, a continuous journey of migration, but this time the migrations inside the camps of Gaza, and inside the same camp.
I and my kids got very scared from the voice of the airplanes, and the bombings, so we decided to stay few nights with my husband's family, We took the kids, some blankets, and joined the family, the funny thing that when we left the building where our apartment is, I and my kids saw a family that heading towards the building, with their pale faces, and scared lost looks, they were holding their blankets seeking a residence with relatives there, what a caustic situation……
Beirut New Year Update: Once more, the American Embassy expresses concern for its citizens - Israel's' that is
Franklin Lamb, Beirut
With daily demonstrations being held in Beirut and across Lebanon, this item just in from the morning papers here in Beirut:
Beirut, 01 Jan. 0344 "United States Advises its Citizens in Lebanon to Avoid Demonstrations in Support of Gaza"
"The American embassy in Beirut, sent an email to its citizens informing them that several protests had occurred "with little or no warning in Lebanon" and that they should "exercise extreme caution."
Plan of attack
Jim Miles
I can only witness the tragedy of Gaza from the knowledge I have gained from years of historical and foreign affairs reading, from the personal contacts and information that are readily available on the internet, and least significantly from the local evening news programs. That is more than sufficient to provide me with the overall context and the understanding of the language used in order to form a strong idea of what is really happening in Gaza.
Evening news
The language used on the local news cast perhaps reveals more than is intended if one is aware of the context of Gaza history. World governments are described as reacting with “increasing alarm”. Those alarmed governments from the west try to salve their complicity in the Israeli atrocities, while the Arab governments are alarmed not so much in support of the Palestinians or against the atrocities, but because of their own insecurity against their own populations who tend to support the Palestinian people. According to the news report “Israeli politicians expressed sorrow” at the civilian casualties, no more concerned about that reality than their U.S. supporters are about all the deaths they caused in their invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
