Israel Is Targeting Medics

Aside from the putrid garbage emanating from spokesflap pieholes (“There is no humanitarian crisis in the [Gaza] Strip.” - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni), and just like what the american forces did to the Iraqis in Fallujah, medical personnel are prime targets during these fascist killing sprees. Why? Because they have first hand accounts of civilian caualties, something the butchers really don't want you to know about.

So just like everything else concerning these periodic blood orgies, justification for mass murder is couched in comfortable lies. You see you're supposed to believe "the bad guys" lurk everywhere in the ongoing war on terror, at least everywhere the fascists point to. So when they blow up buildings, wiping out whole families including babies, it's justified because the terrorists are "using them for human shields". When they specifically go after medical personnel and hospitals it's because the bad guys are using the care facilities as bases of operations. Or the ambulances are carrying weapons.

Of course genocide, mass murder and ethnic cleansing are marvelous methods to subjugate people when you want their resources or land or whatever. Fooling you and I into thinking mass murder is acceptable behavior because they're going after the bad guys is a crowning achievement for the fascists, something to be celebrated and marveled at, perhaps exemplified by this grotesque performance several years ago at a black-tie event for radio and television whores. It's an inside joke, you see, how we're being bamboozled.



And so the killing continues, this time in Gaza, and I'm sure the ziofascists can come up with some bullshit about why Israeli snipers are trying to kill a couple of guys carrying a stretcher with a dead body on it.

Israel is targeting medics

"On 7 January, as Spanish human rights advocate and documentary filmmaker, Alberto Arce, and I accompanied Palestinian medics to retrieve the body of a man shot earlier by invading Israeli forces, we were also shot at as the medics carried the body towards the ambulance. It was in Dawwar Zimmo, eastern Jabaliya, near the area which has been occupied by Israeli soldiers since the land invasion began. It's an area where tens are thought to have been seriously injured by bombing and shooting by the Israeli army, and where many, many more will lie dead, uncollected for days, or weeks, out of reach of the medics whose duty is to retrieve them.

Hassan al-Attal and Jamal had gotten out of the ambulance, a clearly-marked 101 ambulance, and approached the corpse lying in the middle of the street. They wore their Palestine Red Crescent Society uniforms -- Hassan's was bright red with reflective tape, Jamal's bright orange and white, also with reflective tape -- and approached slowly, hands empty except a stretcher to take away the body. Arce filmed as the medics picked up the dead man, put him on the stretcher and began the retreat towards the ambulance. Arce was still filming when the shots cracked out, rapidly but evidently a targeted sniper's shot, not a machine gun. Incredibly, Hassan and Jamal continued to try to evacuate the body, running with the dead man, before finally dropping the stretcher and fleeing for their lives."

I've been convinced that the Israel Defense Forces are just a bunch of thugs ever since they cold-bloodedly murdered the mentally retarded guy who rang the bell of the Church of the Nativity in Bethelehem every Christmas (they gunned him down in the square on his way to the church, like the villains in a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western). Always wondered where the outrage from America's so called Christians was over that. Their silence, then as now, was deafening.

That's a little known and conveniently overlooked fact about zionist supremacist attitude. ALL people from ALL religious persuasions, including christians and jews, are expendable and their lives mean nothing.
