Global Research Wants to Hear From You!

***

On day 209 (May 3, 2024) of this atrocious Gaza killing, cruelties are reaching a new low.

It cannot even be called a war because the Palestinians are not armed and the Zionist fighting is not really against Hamas, but against the civilian population, predominantly women and children.

Just to remind people, Hamas was created by Israel in 1987 as a “terror” organization during the first Palestinian uprising, or Intifada. A “false flag” – one of many Zionist-Israeli false flags – allowing Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) a violent crackdown on Palestine’s uprising for their Right.

The October 7 Hamas “attack” on Israel was planned by the Netanyahu government, the US and the UK at least five years ahead. Knowing Israel’s security obsession, especially along the Gaza border since 2008, it is ridiculous to believe that it was a “surprise attack”, as our corrupted Western mainstream media still try to indoctrinate the “innocent” Western people.

According to a recent Israel-Palestine news analysis by “If Americans Knew” (IAK), Israel cruelty reaches a new low – if that is even possible.

IAK reports that Zionist Israel is now booby-trapping food. A teenage Palestinian boy is the latest to be severely wounded while opening “booby-trapped food”, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Israel snipes at aid-seekers, as they did before, killing hundreds; Israel is withholding bodies of Palestinians, who died in inhumane prison conditions, threatens with the support of  Washington’s the Palestinian Authority (PA) over possible International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants of PM Netanyahu, his War Minister and other high-ranking Israeli.

There is no language to adequately express disgust for a country – not really a legitimate country – for luring and trapping Palestinians driven to famine by very Israel, into food loaded with explosives. See this for more details.

Recently, Turkish authorities cracked down on an Israeli organ trafficking network in Adana, Southern Turkey. Bloomberg already in 2011 described Israel as having been for long at the center of what Bloomberg described as a “sprawling global black market in organs where brokers use deception, violence, and coercion to buy kidneys from impoverished people, mainly in underdeveloped countries, and then sell them to critically ill patients in more-affluent nations.”

More recently during this massacring of the Gazan population, hundreds of Palestinian bodies were found with missing organs and skinned, many of them in mass graves. See this for more details.

Dr. Pascal André, a French emergency doctor returning from Gaza, speaks to ‘TRT Français’ about the genocidal intent and terrorism of the State of Israel towards civilians in Gaza. TRT is the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation.

This is a brief (3-min) video clip – in French – of Dr. André’s interview with TRT, followed by an English transcript of the interview.

English transcript of the interview

“More children and women have died in Gaza in 5 months than in 2 years in Ukraine. So that’s the situation on the ground, with injuries that are absolutely mind-boggling.  We’ve joined teams there who have been on rotation since January 25.

Many of them have died, because in Gaza, nurses are shot at, ambulances are shot at, ambulances, hospitals.

As you know, we can truly say that the terms imposed by the International Court of Justice on January 26 have not been respected.

The genocidal intent is well confirmed, at least as far as we’ve been able to ascertain. Just imagine, people like you and me being bombed with no place to hide, it’s a massacre.

Colleagues who specialize in medicine, who know war medicine, tell us, we’ve never seen a conflict like this, where people have no way out. It’s the first time.

There were 25,000 people all around the European hospital. All corridors were as saturated as a metro, to the point where treatment conditions, treatment and access to care were unbearable. The terror is constant.

The regime of terror is really constant, and one can really wonder what the word terrorist means today, and what a state’s terrorist action means towards an unarmed civilian population. It’s unbearable.

It took us 3 weeks to separate ourselves from this noise. They continue to live with it, and when it’s not the drones, of course, it’s the bombings.

When the carers there (in Gaza) tell us to go home, because if we’ve been living like this for 78 years, it’s because you Europeans and Americans are pretending to support a situation that’s an application of international law.

Go home to make people realize that we are like them; that we are not animals, that we are human beings.

We dare to discuss with people who do not think like we do, who have no other narrative than the one that has been distilled for months and months by a power that is a colonial power and that also controls the media.

It’s time for this to stop, immediately.

It’s a nursing speech. It’s about taking care of humanity.

I can tell you everything I’ve seen as an infectiologist and an emergency doctor, but in two words, I’d say it’s infectious and it’s urgent.

The other day I treated a 12-year-old child with a shrapnel wound at least 15 cm deep in the skull. One had just died.

I had taken in three dead children in the previous half-hour. I had to spend half an hour looking for anesthetic and pliers, and I spent almost three quarters of an hour to an hour doing stiches that I could have done in a quarter of an hour, because the equipment was so faulty.

Help is just a few kilometers away. It’s crammed into trucks that carry rotten foodstuffs.

The medicines are there, while the patients who need them are a few hundred meters or a few kilometers away.

There’s no point in communicating, no point in sending by air, no point in sending by sea, when everything is there, and Israel and the United States are simply preventing entry into Gaza.

Because I’m white, because I have a Christian first name, my Arab colleagues who are doctors like me, often far more competent than I am, tell me to speak up for us. You will be heard.

What kind of democracy is this?  Where are liberty, equality and fraternity?”

For so much cruelty, atrocious killing of unarmed people – reason has not yet found a vocabulary to aptly describe the evil and horror carried out by Zionist Washington, UK and ultimately Zionist Israel.

As already announced, next may be Netanyahu’s final attack on Rafah where close to a million or more Palestinian refugees are crowded into concentration camp-like conditions at the border to Egyptian Sinai. On the other side of the “locked gate”, Egypt has already built new concentration camps, tent cities to accommodate some of those Palestinians that manage to escape the next – and possibly final – Netanyahu attack. It may just be prolonged agony.

*

And this may be the ultimate “hammer” of the United States attempting to put the final nail into the coffin for Palestine: The Biden administration will bring some Palestinian refugees to the United States to contribute to the US economy, and where they could eventually live a life in peace and harmony.

No concern for the Palestinians, not just wishes, but Right to their own country – and contributing to their own homeland, Palestine’s, economy. Instead, the US and Israel are semi-clandestinely building a huge port, just inside Gaza, where Palestine stolen trillion-plus cubic feet of gas (hundreds of billions-worth of dollars) will be processed and shipped to destinations around the globe.

The construction of the port is advancing rapidly and will be protected by some 1,000 American armed servicemen. See this for more details.

May Palestine LIVE!

Live PALESTINE!
