White Phosphorus

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5470047.e...

Michael Evans, Defence Editor and Sheera Frenkel in Jerusalem

Photographic evidence has emerged that proves that Israel has been using controversial white phosphorus shells during its offensive in Gaza, despite official denials by the Israel Defence Forces.

There is also evidence that the rounds have injured Palestinian civilians, causing severe burns. The use of white phosphorus against civilians is prohibited under international law.

Mohammed Ali, Gaza City,

As the death toll from Israel's war on Gaza continues to climb, Mohammed Ali, an advocacy and media researcher for Oxfam who lives in Gaza City, will be keeping a diary of his feelings and experiences.

Are we not human?

The air, the sea and the earth in Gaza City are now occupied by the Israeli military. They occupy Gazans' minds, nerves and ears too.

War on Gaza: Colonial Tactics

Israel's 'colonial tactics' decried
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/01/200916191833159347....

Azmi Bishara, an Arab-Israeli analyst and former member of the Israeli parliament, has lashed out at the Israeli media campaign being run alongside its war on Gaza that criminalises the victims and victimises the coloniser.

Speaking to Al Jazeera on Tuesday, Bishara said Israel's war on Gaza was disproportionate and punishes the Palestinian people for refusing to bow to Israel's fait-accompli in the strip.

Beit Hanoon, Part 2

Inside Gaza
By Ewa Jasiewicz

WHEN I got there, the gates of Beit Hanoun hospital were shut, with
teenage men hanging off them. The mass of people striving to get inside
was a sign that there had been an attack. Inside the gates, the hospital
was full. Parents, wives, cousins, emotionally frayed and overwhelmed,
were leaning over injured loved ones.

The Israeli Apache helicopter had attacked at 3.15pm. Witnesses said that
two missiles had been fired into the street in Hay al Amel, east Beit
Hanoun, close to the border with Israel. With rumours of an imminent

Understanding the Gaza Catastrophe
by Richard Falk---United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories
Posted January 2, 2009

For eighteen months the entire 1.5 million people of Gaza experienced
a punishing blockade imposed by Israel, and a variety of traumatizing
challenges to the normalcy of daily life. A flicker of hope emerged
some six months ago when an Egyptian arranged truce produced an
effective ceasefire that cut Israeli casualties to zero despite the
cross-border periodic firing of homemade rockets that fell harmlessly

Cynthia McKinney on Gaza, Part 2: Rescued by Lebanon

January 1, 2009 - We Lived to Tell the Story: Lebanon Rescued Us

Yesterday, we met with the President of Lebanon, the Chief of the Military, and the Interior Minister who all thanked us for responding and risking our lives on a mission of mercy; we profusely thanked them for rescuing us.

What would we have done, stranded out at sea, prohibited from reaching our destination, low on fuel, with a badly damaged boat if Lebanon had not accepted us? Lebanon sent their ships to find us. Lebanon rescued us. Lebanon welcomed us. And we are truly thankful.

Cynthia McKinney's Commentary on Gaza

December 30, 2008: Oh What a Day! by Cynthia McKinney

I'm so glad that my father told me to buy a special notebook and to write everything down because that's exactly what I did.

When we left from Cyprus, one reporter asked me "are you afraid?" And I had to respond that Malcolm X wasn't afraid; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't afraid. But little did I know that just a few hours later, I would be recollecting my life and mentally preparing myself for death.

Beit Hanoon
By Ewa Jasiewicz, reporting from besieged Gaza
Tuesday 30th December 2008

It happened at 9am this morning. We were speaking to Sabrine Naim at the
time, standing and talking in the Naim family home which had been wrecked
this morning. Chunks of debris – one a meter long and a foot wide - glass,
and sharp slices of their own broken roof, had smashed onto beds, chairs,
their kitchen and living room. Only two of their family of 12 had been
home at the time. They were expecting an attack. And it came at 4am – a
