Israeli barbarity blessed by the West
The ongoing military operations launched by Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza again demonstrate the depravity and brutality of the Israeli state, if one ever needed a reminder. The operation launched after the capture of an Israeli soldier, himself part of an occupying army, is out of all proportion. Israeli gunships have launched missiles into Gaza's main power station, knocking out supplies in the sweltering summer heat. While Israelis enjoy swimming pools the civilian population of Gaza does not even have access to running drinking water. Donkey carts bring in meagre supplies while the sewage piles up.
A military operation to recover one Israeli soldier alive? Who are they kidding? They are more likely to lose further soldiers in any ground operations. It is not just physical as well; psychological intimidation is also being used as Israeli planes screech across Gaza in mock raids causing sonic booms. The utter callousness is epitomised by an Israeli MP who said that the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, had told the military to "make sure no one sleeps in Gaza at night". This is collective punishment of all Palestinians.
As has become the norm in such operations where the casualties are Muslim, the Muslim rulers of this world are again offering their usual sound bites for their domestic consumption. Yet in reality they are once again sitting on their hands. In fact Egypt ordered the deployment of more security forces to the Egyptian / Gaza border to prevent any "illegal crossings" in the event of Israeli operations. In other words anyone trying to flee the slaughter is going to be kept hemmed in.
Western governments for their part have issued the usual platitudes asking Israel to exercise 'extreme care'. Much of the mainstream media offered it's usual alibis for Israeli aggression. Israeli air strikes had killed 'militants', a typical storyline without offering any evidence or proof whatsoever of such Israeli claims. How can Israel take 'extreme care' when it has a whole population under siege? How can ordinary people, the sick, the old, the young, the infirm, as in any population, be safe when their basic hospitals are denied electricity to function with? Or fuel for transport? Yet we see the champions of 'Freedom', Bush and Blair, silent on what in any society is wanton disregard for basic human values. This is a war waged by the Israeli government, endorsed by it supporters in the West. A one sided war against a civilian population which has no means to defend itself.
The world looks on as the Palestinians are once again subjugated to State sanctioned terrorism from an outlaw regime. These events should demonstrate to all right thinking people around the world that Israel acts as a ‘policeman’ for the area-backed by western governments. If the West truly wanted to bring to an end the barbaric suffering of the Palestinians it would withdraw the military, economic and diplomatic support it continues to provide to Israel.
At this terrible time of suffering we urge the Muslims of Palestine to remain strong and steadfast. The insecurity that Israelis suffer from will not be cured with such brutal operations. The present tyranny will only be brought to an end with the return of the Caliphate. The Caliphate will safeguard the life and rights of all the people in the area as it did before.
