sick politicians running that country-sick and ugly..here's the recent story:
Thursday was as normal and quiet an afternoon as you get in Johr al-Deek village in the central Gaza Strip. "Prepare yourself for I will be taking you to the dentist in half an hour," Salim Abu Ayish recalled telling his 17-year-old daughter Hiyam.
Moments later everything changed. "At 5:30 PM an Israeli shell landed on my brother's house," the father told visitors who had come to offer condolences for his daughter at the family's home on Friday. The shell injured a nephew and Salim Abu Ayish rushed to render aid.
"I asked Hiyam to bring me the car key from my bedroom," Salim Abu Ayish said. As she went, he recalled, "suddenly another shell struck my room, killing Hiyam instantly, as shrapnel rippled through her body. I was injured with some of the shrapnel in my back and my neck."
Two Israeli army shells landed in the family houses of the Abu Ayish clan in the Johr al-Deek village, just north of the al-Bureij refugee camp and about 1.5 kilometers from the border with Israel. The shelling caused critical injury to Husam Abu Ayish, Hiyam's 21-year-old cousin and minor wounds to Hiyam's father and sister, Nawal.
Israel changes its story
For hours after the attack, the Israeli army denied any involvement and claimed the attack was the result of mortar shells fired by Palestinians. But late on Thursday, the Israeli army changed its story, admitting that Palestinian civilians were hit "accidentally" by Israeli army fire directed at Palestinian gunmen in the area, according to Israeli media.
Taking a deep breath, and trying to be strong despite his agony, Abu Ayish remembered his daughter: "She used to be humorous, active, well-mannered and smiling. I never turned down her requests. On Thursday, the day her soul went to heaven, she asked me to bring some watermelon, but her destiny was faster than me. Two months ago, she asked me to bring her a necklace, and I did buy her one," he recalled.
"Hiyam was more than a sister," recalled Emad, 24, Hiyam's brother. "She was different from my other five sisters. Just about an hour before she was martyred, she wondered when I would get married." Emad remembers her saying, "we want to celebrate your wedding, my brother." Instead of such happy memories, Emad now has only pictures of his sister's wounded face, taken with his mobile phone.
"One of my best students"
"Every time she visited our home, my children would get so cheerful as they enjoyed the laughter and fun she would bring to our house," recalled Saleh Abu Hajjaj, Hiyam's brother-in-law.
"She was one of my best students," said Jamal al-Nabahin, a teacher at Qaysaria Secondary School for Girls where Hiyam had recently completed her 11th year certificate. "She was active and sometimes very funny. Her death is a great loss, and may she rest in peace."
Mahmoud al-Aydi, the father of Raghda, one of Hiyam's friends and schoolmates, recalled that the two girls had been chatting on the phone shortly before the shells struck. On hearing what had happened Raghda had "fainted for three hours," according to Raghda's father, "she could not believe Hiyam was killed."
Um Jihad, Hiyam's mother only uttered a few words, "May God hold accountable those who killed my beloved daughter."
In December 2008 and January 2009, Israel carried out a massive bombardment and invasion of the Gaza Strip. The 22 days of Israeli attacks claimed the lives of 1,400 Palestinians, the vast majority of whom were unarmed civilians. Before and after the attack, Israel has maintained a strict blockade on the coastal territory grossly hampering the daily lives of its 1.5 million residents.

I don't know how many Hama missiles kill Israeli teens. How many Hamas missiles do kill Israeli teens? I was under the impression that most of those "missiles" land in empty fields mostly.

@JohnA you cannot put both those wrongs together and say one is worse than the other, coz if you do, it comes out to Israel is the worse by thousands. Two wrongs dont make a right, but your statement is pure nonsense.

Those fuckers danced in the streets after 9/11! They just had a big ole time celebrating American deaths. They can go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned. Israel should stomp them out like the filthy vermin they are once and for all.

Palestinians were dancing in the streets because the IDF were passing out food and candy. The footage you saw wasn't even filmed on 9/11, it was pre-filmed and presented as something different when it was broadcast.
If was propaganda to make people like you hate Arabs.
But you know who was dancing as they filmed the burning were Israelis.

We will not give up our battle to bring the truth to the world,
we will not give up our battle to bring justice to those that are treated without justice, and to those that deserve justice,
we will not give up standing up for the innocent people that have been knocked down to their knees because some governments want to own everything they can get their greedy little fingers on.
We will not give up standing up for the innocent child, innocent woman, innocent man that wants peace and wants to love their neighbor, wants to be treated as the other person wants to be treated.
We will not give up.
Ever.

Biography
John Pilger is a world-renowned journalist, author and documentary filmmaker, who began his career in 1958 in his homeland, Australia, before moving to London in the 1960s.
He regards eye-witness as the essence of good journalism. He has been a foreign correspondent and a front-line war reporter, beginning with the Vietnam war in 1967. He is an impassioned critic of foreign military and economic adventures by Western governments.
"It is too easy," he says, "for Western journalists to see humanity in terms of its usefulness to 'our' interests and to follow government agendas that ordain good and bad tyrants, worthy and unworthy victims and present 'our' policies as always benign when the opposite is usually true. It's the journalist's job, first of all, to look in the mirror of his own society."
He believes a journalist also ought to be a guardian of the public memory and often quotes Milan Kundera: "The struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."

Funny....none of those Israeli members have posted on the other two links....tey can't refute it. It's documented. The UN said it was Genocide in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Israel caught with its pants down again.

In response to Ihatethemail above....by the way, you sound like a really smart guy. I'm going to read mopre of your posts in future.
Yes, I agree with you. they have kept the media at bay.
This is an extract from the link above:
Begin, for his part, publicly threatened journalists who pointed out Israel's complicity in the massacre as the bearer of a ''blood libel' against all Jews,.
What's more, the commission failed to identify the obvious that a crime against humanity had been committed{No,...that all happened a long time ago when they did a highly successful practice run in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Begin behaved like that after }
On December 16, 1982, a resolution by the UN General Assembly called the massacre of Sabra and Chatila 'an act of GENOCIDE.' The following February an Israeli commission of inquiry, headed by Yitzkak Kahan, President of the Supreme Court, offered no evidence that a single terrorist was present in Sabra and Chatila when the camps were attacked. The commission heard how the Israeli forces had allowed the Phalangists to take away prisoners who then 'disappeared', and it found that Ariel Sharon bore 'personal responsibility' for the massacre.

It's so easy to keep the majority of the world at bay when they believe everything their MSM tells them about israel. That is the thing that has kept them going for all these years. The control of the media and their ability to get out the information that best suits their needs and always makes them look like the poor innocent victims. Now with the internet over the last number of years, more and more people are seeing things for the first time as they really are. Things like the bombings of Gaza and the raining of white phosphorus{SP?} down on civilian populations. The aid ship thats are now being stopped for no other reason that to keep the people from getting the medicines they need to heal and the food they need to live. Not really a lot to ask for. Maybe as time goes on enough people around the world and especially in the US, will see the things on the internet and start to question all the BS that has been shoved down their throats all these years and demand that we no longer support them with our tax dollars and fuel the flames of hell that is also known as the israeli killing machine.

I can see from the times the posts get put on here that this site has many lying Israelis posting a pack of lies on current.
In the past I have posted stories by such luminaries as Prof. Richard Falk and Robert Fisk.....and they spin a web of lies and have rubbished these people. It's become a case of not expecting anyrhing from a pig but a grunt, and not expecting antything from the Israelis but a lie.
They are professional liars, but they have committed so many many many crimes that sometimes they realize they can't talk their way out of it......like in the sad situation above.
My brother was killed in a road accident 12 years ago and my family grieve still.....and so it will be a lifetime of grief for this poor family.
Israel should be moved from the Middle East....moved somewhere else..............because thay never intend to live in peace. They are like pit bull terriers trained to fight. They never show remorse for their crime.
Is their any country out there willing to take the inhabitants of Israel?

The world won't wake up because they have been trained and conditioned to believe that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. The best that we can do is keep presenting the holocausting of the Palestinians to influential websites like Current.
