Israeli warplanes continue to pound the Gaza Strip and the death toll among Palestinians continues to rise, with at least 186 killed, and over 1,000 wounded in less than a week.
The exact split of the death toll is still unclear, but reports from Gaza hospitals suggest over three quarters of the victims were civilians, with a large number of women and children killed.
The ground invasion, long expected, has yet to begin, and there is no hint of when that will happen, though there seems to be zero momentum behind even considering a ceasefire.
Israeli officials say they oppose any ceasefire deal that might only last a year or two, though it is hard to imagine who they might conceivably get a guarantee of a long peace as they continue to bomb homes in the tiny strip.
Stop sending Israel money. Of course, they will just pound harder with their genocide, then whine to Uncle Sam that they ran out of weapons.
With Obama still sleeping with AIPAC, the slaughter will continue.
The fact that Israel can do this is a testament to who is in charge and whose money is lining the pockets of the people who can put a stop to this genocide.
Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime, just because some nations keep doing it and no one gets punished doesn't mean it is not so.
"F*ck Israel and a great big F*CK YOU to Obama, the Israeli-kissing house boy.
STOP Media Lies
You CAN
Here’s HOW
When: Monday, July 21, 2014
Media lies are responsible for wars, mass killings, and genocide. They frame issues (propaganda) and justify killings. We can STOP this dangerous assault on the truth and save humanity. We must act quickly.
Media’s power comes from its reach – from ratings, which translates into money. We, as individuals and collectively, feed this cycle. Reduce the reach, lower the ratings, deprive it income. Boycott.
It is DOABLE. We can start with the most egregious (may vary from country to country), boycotting 3 outlets for 3 days until behavioral change is noted (rely on other media outlets to see if change has been instituted. Do NOT watch, listen, or read online the following:
CNN: Parent Company, Time Warner.
Note host Wolf Blitzer, former Israeli ambassador to the UN, Oren as Middle East analyst, Newt Gingrich, Christine Amanpour.
CBS:Owner, Sumner Redstone (described as one of the 50 most influential Jews).
FOX: Parent Company NewsCorp
For this to be effective, we must have numbers. This is what must be done:
Enlist at least 5 people (ideally with one of them having a different ideological view from yours – its doable) to commit to the boycott, the stations, and the days – July 21, 22, & 23.
Ask them to enlists 5 people, get commitment and inform you of the accomplishment.
Repeat the pattern.
Keep track of the numbers.
It is no longer sufficient for us to simply blow off steam on FB and other social media. We must act. We must bring the cycle of killing and lies to an end. We must unite and put in the effort. Let us save humanity.
We will plan our next phase in two weeks and after the initial response.
Good idea !
Let's start with CNN's news program and boycott the insufferable Zionist Wolf Bluster.
The man is a disgrace and should be permanently removed from reading the news.
If that works, let's go to step # 2.
Anything to stop the AIPAC stranglehold on our society.
