Israel Terrorizes 1.1 Million Civilians at Gaza


We are in the midst of a great atrocity, acts are being committed against the civilian population of Gaza. Recently the Israelites engaged in a major assault on Gaza, destroying both of their power plants and several bridges; now 1.1 million people are without water or electricity and hospitals are unable to function. These people are essentially blockaded in by the surrounding Israeli forces. Power and water are likely to be out of service for at least six months.

In an interview with Jon Snow, the Israeli Deputy Ambassador to London claimed that the power plants were destroyed “to stop them from smuggling out the soldier.” So basically, Israel would have us believe that, in order to rescue an abducted soldier, they were willing to kill countless civilians and ruin the lives of over a million people by destroying the very means by which these people receive their sustenance. Apparently they place a no value on the lives of Palestinians.

There have also been reports of Israeli soldiers: bulldozing homes with the occupants inside, firing on unarmed protesters and bulldozing agricultural land. The following is a video of soldiers firing upon civilians who are involved in a peaceful protest of the Apartheid wall that is illegally stealing land from the Palestinians.

Chaos, the likes of which hasn’t been seen for decades, is descending upon the region. I believe that it is our duty as compassionate human beings to raise awareness of what is occurring and do what we can to stop these atrocities. Countless individuals have been killed and had their land and sustenance taken away in an act which appears to be part of a larger agenda which seeks to destroy the people of Palestine and control the Middle East.
