Israel Navy opens fire on Gaza aid flotilla; activists killed
I’m not surprised at this breaking news, only that lives have not been lost before this. Wonder what International reactions this will provoke in the coming days. Haaretz: Israel Navy troops opened fire on pro-Palestinian activists aboard a six-ship aid flotilla sailing for the Gaza Strip, killing two and wounding several others after the convoy […]
In Gaza, only the dying get to see their Israeli relatives
I just don’t understand this… From Haaretz: Qassem al-Masri’s father has been suffering from liver problems for years. Sometimes he is hospitalized, and usually he doesn’t feel well (but then again, no one ever feels well in the Gaza Strip). But his condition is not grave.

US Convoy Crosses Into Gaza through Rafah
This is an update on the story posted earlier this month; (The US Media? McKinney’s Call from an Israeli Prison) It appears this group, carrying a million dollars in aid, found another way to get at least half of it into the people of Gaza. According to the report they were only given 24 hours, […]

Self-Defense or Mass Murder?
You may find Polycarp’s newest post at The Church of Jesus Christ blog: Attack on Gaza – Self-Defense or Mass Murder? (Genocide) extremely interesting–I did. The quotes from opinion pieces in the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, offer a lot of food for thought for consideration–which is something we don’t get offered here from our own media.
Cruelty and silence in Gaza
These brothers and sisters in Christ are all but forgotten.. From JPost: quote.. Unremarked upon by the Western media, a systematic campaign of persecution is taking place in the Gaza Strip, and to a lesser extent in the West Bank. The general silence surrounding this campaign aids its perpetrators. The victims are Palestinian Christians, in […]
