Israel bombs Beirut Airport, Lebannon under siege.
Wait is it 1982 again? Time for another time-warp.
Meanwhile Israel’s bombing of Palestine continues. “Asymmetrical”
warfare? Everyone knows crazy Arabs are always the ones who “start
it” and “can’t be trusted”. Any retaliation is fair game.
Bombing for Peace
Virginia Tilley writes:
“On the excuse of rescuing one kidnapped soldier, Israeli is now
bombing the Gaza Strip and is poised to re-invade. It has also
arrested a third of the Palestinian parliament, wrecking even its
fragile illusion of capacity and reducing the already-empty vessel of
the Palestinian Authority into broken shards. In the shambles,
Palestinians may be observing one bitter pill of compensation: vicious
angling by Fatah to reclaim control of Palestinian national politics
and its rivalry with Hamas are now rendered obsolete. Even the dogged
international community cannot maintain its dogged pretense that the
PA is actually capable of any governance at all. The demise of the
disastrous Oslo model, Israel’s device to ensure its final
dismemberment of Palestinian land and its fatal cooptation of the
Palestinian national movement, may finally be at hand.”
Adem Carroll talks about that sweet sound in the air:
“Zananah zananah zananah in the sky; the residents know it is the
Israeli Drone. It is not televising barefoot soccer matches in the
Palestinian dust. This entity, called Zananah because of the sound it
makes, has escaped from its Israeli bottle unlike the hundreds of
detainees held in Israeli jails. It is a tool of invasion, occupation
and control. The Zananah buzzes around the edges of life; and then,
finally, comes the missile strike, and death.”
And James Zogby evokes the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese:
“What shocked the nation was the fact that 37 witnesses heard Kitty’s
cries but did nothing to help. Years later, social scientists,
studying this disturbing passivity, termed it the “Genovese Syndrome”.
That’s how I feel about what is happening in Gaza today. Israel is
getting away with murder and the world is letting it happen.”
Read on. And take a moment to think of ways to speak out and break
the blue wall of silence.
