The USRAEL and the United Spectators.

Was channel surfing at about close to 5 am when i saw the breaking news. Israeli troops enter the Gaza Strip after a week long air raid. What is the need for a ground invasion when everything is pretty much leveled out in the coastal strip that measures 41km long by 6km wide.

The entire "occupation" stinks of contradiction. What is the objective of it. Israel claims that its not in its intention to re-occupy Gaza, while it is pushing its forces in through at least four different entry points into the strip.. BBC reports that Israel just wants to take control of the Hamaz controlled facilities from which rockets are fired. Which pretty much sums up to the entire strip and in even simpler words, its an occupation... no less. What happens after they capture Gaza...How long are they going to hold it in capture? Do they honestly think that the Gazans are going to take the Israeli restructuring hands down?

[Excerpt from BBC]
(In a pre-recorded statement broadcast on al-Jazeera TV, Damascus-based Khaled Meshaal, said Israel would be making a "foolish mistake" if it sent tanks into Gaza.

"We will not break, we will not surrender or give in to your conditions," Mr Meshaal said in a speech aimed at the Israelis, the Palestinians and the wider Muslim world.)

To be honest, i really do agree with him. The people of Gaza are not like the 3rd generation of some developed country in which everything is taken for granted. All the average Gazan has seen in his life is conflicts, bullets, bloodshed and loss of loved ones. Martyrdom is an ultimate prestige. There is no way they are going to take the invasion. They'd rather die.

The only thing that is gained from a war is actually the loss of humanity.

There is a humanitarian crisis going on where over 75 % of the Gazans are unable to support themselves. Israel controls all that goes into Gaza.. including the entries of international journalists, food and medical aid ( if they are allowing anything in at all.)


There has to be a better way to resolve this issue... too many civilians have already lost their lives. Where are the foreign powers when you actually need one... hmmm lets see...

Bush says the Hamaz instigated the occupation. Why does he sound like an immature teenager who plays "who punches first". To think that i almost felt sorry for him for a shoe being thrown at hime... now i wish that the shoes had wacked him. What's worse is that he actually encouraged Israel to step up actions to ensure that Hamas breaks.. Why bush... sore that Obama took your seat? Is this a form of low-elbowing to Obamas ribs? To ensure that he takes over a nightmare?

Next comes the UN... United Nations. I wish that they would be renamed as the United Spectators. Why is that they don't flex their muscle when USRAEL fails to convene to their strong warnings.. Israel totally neglected its warnings when it decided to invade Gaza.. why is nothing being done. By the time the UN comes to a decision from all its meetings... there won't be much of Gaza left to make any difference...
