The IPSC guilty of a "distorted sympathy" towards Palestine?
The Israelis are deepening the cellar further with the Weapon of Mass Starvation; following Israeli cutoffs, the UN World Food Program now reckons that; "Food imports into the Gaza Strip are only enough to meet 41 percent of demand". Against such an obscenity and pleading guilty to what Martin Amis terms a "distorted sympathy" towards the agony of Palestine http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2221615,00....html Galway IPSC, yesterday, took to the streets for seven hours to protest.
The Israelis are darkening the cellar further through fuel cutoffs resulting in Gaza's hospitals having to scale back health services and most petrol stations having to close . Several human rights groups have condemned this unconscionable collective punishment with United Nations Secretary-General, Ban ki-Moon bleating that Israel should reconsider such actions. Following the Israeli cabinet decision on 19th September 2007 declaring the Gaza Strip to be an "enemy entity," Gaza is being slowly bled to death with the debased imprimatur of the Israeli High Court and under the blind eye of the world; the court ruled last week that the decision to reduce fuel supplies to Gaza should remain and this policy poses no harm to the civilian population.
Besides the Indymedia title, to quote Palestinian national poet, Mahmoud Darwish, further: "The siege will last in order to convince us we must choose an enslavement that does no harm, in fullest liberty!".
