Genocide in Palestine continues

“The Zionist argument to justify Israel’s present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history … not even in their own religion.”
-Malcolm X as quoted on Sept. 17, 1964 in The Egyptian Gazette

It’s been over a week since Israel stepped up their airstrikes and ground assaults in Gaza. Death toll continues to rise, as of this writing it’s 500+ Palestinian deaths. I’m pissed and not surprised. Same shit, different day. My opinions are based in historical context and what’s occurring is genocide. It ain’t about “self-defense against terrorism” as gov officials and Bush wants you to believe. Israeli deaths = 5, Palestinians = 500+ and 2000+ wounded, who’s terrorizing who? If Israel had their way, they’d wipe Palestinians off the face of the earth as if they never existed. The oppressed have become the oppressor. Israel is untouchable and above international law, supported by the US and UK and their military is largely financed by the US. I’m talking about those in charge, not the Israeli people. And people will soon realize that Obama won’t challenge the status quo, he will continue to support Israel as he has repeatedly stated on his campaign.

How would you react if someone came to your house, kicked you out and seized all your belongings and property for themselves based on the religious claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? That’s what happened to Palestinians when Israel was created. You can’t claim to be for equality and human rights if you’re not for the liberation of Palestine.

For more on why what’s going down in Gaza and the West Bank can only be understood as genocide. As he puts it,

“the UN would not intervene in Gaza as it does in Africa; the Nobel peace laureates would not enlist to its defense as they do for causes in Southeast Asia. The numbers of people killed there are not staggering as far as other calamities are concerned”

How the media portrays this “conflict” and how there are those that would label my words as anti-semitic.
