Guardian: Tens of thousands in London protest Gaza offensive

Lenin’s Tomb: Gaza protest

I can’t say an exact figure, but tens of thousands turned out for today’s protest, more than beating my expectations – more than that, it was a very militant protest, comparable to the response to the invasion of Lebanon. I am quite sure that the police are putting an insultingly low figure on the turnout for the media’s consumption, but they ought to bear in mind that, apparently, policemen are no longer civilians.

The Politics of an Israeli Extermination Campaign

By James Petras

Introduction

Because of the unconditional support of the entire political class in the US, from the White House to Congress, including both Parties, incoming and outgoing elected officials and all the principle print and electronic mass media, the Israeli Government feels no compunction in publicly proclaiming a detailed and graphic account of its policy of mass extermination of the population of Gaza.

Israel’s sustained and comprehensive bombing campaign of every aspect of governance, civic institutions and society is directed toward destroying civilized life in Gaza. Israel’s totalitarian vision is driven by the practice of a permanent purge of Arab Palestine informed by Zionism, an ethno-racist ideology, promulgated by the Jewish state and justified, enforced and pursued by its organized backers in the United States.

Inside Story – Arab League action? – 31 Dec 08 – Part 1 | Part 2

The recurring manifestation of a blatantly criminal template for waging “war” – deploying propaganda blitzkriegs, softening targets by imposing economic blockades, starvation sanctions, fostering internecine conflicts, all followed-up by the monstrous bloodletting of shock and awe – is the work of sociopaths. But when it furthers the wanton destruction of Palestine to create a “Greater Israel” – crimes against humanity in the name of Zionism – the strategy is ignored or excused.

Just as Jewish anarchists and labour activists suspended philosophical tenets and critical thinking to ship arms to terrorist gangs in Palestine, enabling rape, murder and land theft for the purpose of establishing a theocratic state, “progressive” liberals now transition smoothly from vilifying the government for occupying Iraq and torturing at will to remaining silent as it occupies, tortures and eradicates Palestinians.
