Listen to the Anguish of the Children and their Parents


There is not much more to say, so I shall keep silent for now, and ask that you click on the heading, for videos of Palestinian children being murdered by the IDF. In case you lose your way, all of the links about the escalating murders of Palestinian Children are at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/
Oxford professor of international relations Avi Shlaim served in the Israeli army and has never questioned the state's legitimacy, but its merciless assault on Gaza led him to devastating conclusions: Establishing the state of Israel in May 1948 involved a monumental injustice to the Palestinians. British officials bitterly resented American partisanship on behalf of the infant state. On 2 June 1948, Sir John Troutbeck wrote to the foreign secretary, Ernest Blevin, that the Americans were responsible for the creation of a gangster state headed by "an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders. I used to think that this judgment was too harsh but Israel's vicious assault on the people of Gaza, and the Bush administration's complicity in this assault, have reopened the question.
