Gaza massacre Israels cynicism supported by the Wests complicity
Press release: 27.12.08
Today the Israeli army launched its long awaited strikes against the Gazan people, an unarmed, captive civilian population. The West, including the British government, has supported the last two years of blockade of the Palestinians in Gaza for the crime of exercising their democratic rights in a manner not to Israels liking. They have stood by while the people have been reduced to beggars dependent upon food aid, aid which has been consistently denied to them by Israels siege, resulting in malnutrition, trauma and deaths from medical neglect. This siege has been accompanied by regular military attacks on Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank as Israel is allowed to act with impunity. The passage of 100 trucks of aid yesterday, in the BBCs words to prevent Israel being accused of a causing humanitarian crisis is a cynical diversion which does not fool anyone despite the hopes of our cowardly leaders. The British government must condemn outright the current assault on Gaza, and immediately demand that the UN takes steps to end the siege with the restoration of full freedom of the borders of Gaza.
