Yet this Saturday, Israel launched a deadly attack against the Palestinians of Gaza which can never be forgotten. “Operation Cast Lead” began a deadly assault on a siege-crippled people and has already been declared as the bloodiest day in all sixty years of conflict. The death toll on the first day climbed from 200 deaths and hundreds injured to 360 killed and at least 1,000 injured- the military assault continues for the fourth day with a threat from Israel that the onslaught in Gaza could last for weeks.
Rather than condemning this blatant Israeli brutality, US policy makers seem to weaving webs of utter lies and contradiction- basically giving Israel their implicit support.
Rice, the US Secretary of State declared that:“The United States strongly condemns the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel and holds Hamas responsible for breaking the cease-fire and for the renewal of violence in Gaza,”
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe also echoed:“The United States understands that Israel needs to take actions to defend itself,”
And Obama? Well, he was ‘monitoring’ the situation…
All blame was therefore neatly placed on Hamas, as if they had gone round killing the Palestinians themselves.. Now, I’m no huge fan but I’m pretty sure that’s not what happened- so WHY isn’t the UK and US directly condemning Israel?
