Palestine/Israel

This should be read first -  https://www.rt.com/news/600856-israel-destroyed-gaza-healthcare/

This below from a professor of biology on 9-07-24. Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh is based in the ghetto where Jesus was born. He spoke to the Exeter PSC about 4 years ago where Sue and I talked with him after his excellent presentation. A man of the highest intellect, energy and truthfulness.  I have received his bulletins without interruption for about 2 years. I know that I am one of 30,000 on his address book!  I have edited it slightly and added some bold.

This 20 minute video - Eyes Open Gaza    https://youtu.be/CdTJG2ZswUg  the Voyage of the Dove and the Dolphin 1-02 -2003, shows that the genocide was well advanced in 2003.

I tried to cross into Jerusalem today (where I used to be a highschool teacher) and was denied by the apartheid colonizers. My wife too. Our US passports notwithstanding. This is a clear violation of the agreement reached with the US State Department that allowed Israelis to enter the US on a visa waiver program. US citizens are not treated with respect agreed to. Over the weekend we were stopped from doing our field work in the Jordan valley by these apartheid regime forces. This was not the first time. On so many occasions we are harassed and prevented from having any normalcy.  In other parts of Palestine, the situation is much worse. In Gaza Strip alone over the past nine months 186,000 Palestinians were killed by bombing them, by denial of food, water, medicine and by destroying their infrastructure etc.  As I am in touch with many families in Gaza by phone I hear horror stories including literally starving to death and if there is a food it is only bread or only rice (no proteins, vegetables, milk, fruits etc). And what worries me more are families we lost touch with (no phones). The regime tramples our  right of religion, right of movement, right of education, essentially our rights of life.

The Police Force in a Fascist Country Reacts

May Ayres – sculptress and artist reports on the evening of the 29thMay 2024

 

Displaced Children in WAFADear David,

I returned late last night from an impromptu rally outside Downing Street. A truly heart warming record turn out at short notice, the protesters began streaming in well before 6pm, the official start. Inflamed by the horrendous assault in Rafah the people turned out in full force. I think it’s worth writing about because it was very inspiring.

We all know how governments ignore demonstrations. (The millions turning out against the invasion of Iraq achieved nothing and it’s still a very sore point). This Palestine protest was different to recent ones. I suppose because the area was small it appeared more powerful. (I’ve never seen Whitehall so jammed packed with protesting bodies) And there was a palpable sense of urgency that the slaughter had to stop.

I arrived fairly early and was soon crammed in. There was no pushing or shoving but I had to weave my way out and managed to cross the road, directly in front of Downing Street gates. The police had kept the left lane free for the traffic. Manned by PC’s who all looked about sixteen, they struggled to contain the numbers. They carefully threaded ribbon along the perimeter to hold back the crowd from the traffic lane. The traffic had to be free, the masses had to be herded. But they lost the battle. The flood gates had been opened, people streamed along the traffic lane and they had to close Whitehall. The PC’s scuttled away, and the people claimed the whole area. The speakers on the stadium tried hard to be heard above the chanting but when they had finished the disciplined drummers set the mood of cheerful defiance. The chants took on a powerful rhythm.

We are the people.

We won’t be silent.

Stop the bombing

Now, Now, Now, Now.

Even I who doesn’t often join in the chanting when marching, felt sufficiently moved to sing along with a full voice!

And that was just one of a number of uplifting slogans accompanied by drum beats that soared over the area in cheerful but steely defiance. The atmosphere was wonderful. The crowd was one solid mass and when the rains came we all remained steadfast. Then the signal came to sit down. Now this is what I’ve always thought we should do, especially during the million people march for Iraq. But it’s when I remember that I’m now seventy -five not twenty - five. No longer so agile. But many did.

And at half past eight the police could no longer tolerate the enormous peaceful, noisy gathering. They attacked. A long solid line of cops smashed through the protesters and I was hurled to one side and tumbled into the laps of sitting protesters. I must have hurt some of them but they were more concerned for me. I guess I looked old in their eyes and they were shocked at the brutality. But sadly, it’s no longer shocking. They were fearful that we’d never go home and had to show off their  brutalforce. But we do go home. One day soon, we won't. We’ll all sit down and refuse to leave.

In a 'western' world dominated now by a cabal of evil billionaires, and their servants - an execrable broadcast and print media, the genocides are almost instantly buried in the public consciousness. This is aided by millisecond memory, the insertion of distracting 'events' coupled with omission.
