Orwell would be so proud..
Palestinian “Terror:”
· Palestinians attacking an Israeli military outpost.
· Palestinians taking an Israeli soldier as a prisoner of war.
· Palestinians saying that the prisoner is being cared for.
· Palestinians offering a prisoner exchange, to free imprisoned Palestinian women and children.
Israeli “Counter-Terror:”
· Total Israeli economic and financial blockade, cutting off food and medicine, to 3.5 million Palestinians.
· Israeli military attacks that destroyed the major bridges in Gaza.
· Israeli air strikes that destroyed the main electrical power station in Gaza; as a result over a million people will be without electricity for months.
· Israeli air strikes that destroyed water pumping stations in Gaza; as a result clean drinking water will not be available for most people. With the summer heat and no electricity, this means epidemic diseases and high infant mortality.
· Raids in the middle of the night to kidnap and disappear any Palestinian Israel chooses, regardless of age. Since the beginning of the year over 1,700 Palestinians have disappeared into Israeli prisons. Many of them, never charged with anything.
· Keeping over 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails, many of them for over 20 years, with no charges.
· Keeping 360 Palestinian children (under 10 and more than 200 women in Israeli jails, subject to torture and abuse.
· Killing over 40 Palestinian civilians, this month alone. In one attack alone an entire family was wiped out, including children and infants.
· Open threats to assassinate Palestinian leaders including political leaders recently elected to office.
Not just Orwell, but Joseph Goebbels would be very proud.
