While enormous numbers of civilians were killed in the Gaza Strip over the course of the 2008-09 Israeli invasion, none garnered so much attention internationally nor within Israel itself as the deaths of the three daughters of Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish and his niece.
Dr. al-Aish had been a regular telephone correspondent during the war for Israel’s Channel 10, and one of his reports to the channel came immediately after an Israeli tank attack on his home, which killed his three young daughters and a niece.
It was a rare moment where the Israeli press broke through the carefully choreographed war propaganda and touched a nerve on the reality of the invasion, and while it sparked considerable backlash against Dr. al-Aish, nominally for being “anti-Israel,” it also touched many people who were unaware of the situation.
Fast forward to two years later, and Dr. al-Aish, who has since moved to Toronto, is suing the Israeli government over the deaths. His lawyer, a prominent Israeli human rights lawyer, lashed the defense ministry for refusing to apologize for the killings, and indeed, to this day the defense ministry insists the killings were perfectly appropriate during an invasion.
The lawsuit is coming now because the statute of limitations in Israel for this sort of killing is two years, and Dr. al-Aish says any monetary compensation would be donated to a foundation he has set up in the names of his daughters, to support the education and health of women across the Middle East.
An antiwar activist long before the war touched him so directly, Dr. al-Aish is now teaching at the University of Toronto and has recently published a book about his difficulties in coming to terms with his daughters’ deaths titled I Shall Not Hate.
I am sure the Israelis got funds to cover the whole earth. Afterall, they stole ove 70 Trillions $$$ from US.
In addition to the minimum 3+ bill the US gives 'em every year just for the heck of it. Plus whatever they extort from Germany and the other countries. Also, the life of a goyim to them Chosen People is only worth about $100,000 (if I recall correctly that's what they paid for the peace activists they murdered in the Flotilla incident). I guess that's also the cost of a donkey. However, all those people suing will drive a point and, if nothing else, will become a royal pain in their Chosen Asses. v
You got to love the fact that they collected billions off of the holocaust victims and then used the money to build inside of Israel. I am sure they made a big profit on the construction projects which they claim will benefit the holocaust victims. Greedy people who sure march to a different song than the rest of humanity. I am not sure why they feel that they are superior to everyone.
Yes, the Holocaust™ is their biggest industry. And, according to what I hear, the actual survivors of the tragedy are treated like garbage and live on food stamps so they're being used just like everybody else around the word just to fulfill the agenda of a few mad Zionists sitting high and mighty all the way at the top of the world.
Those construction projects are being funded from the US. There's been plenty of press on that. It's an entanglement of sorts.
Gaza doctor's daughters were deliberately killed. The occupation criminals knew where was his home, but they also knew that he works in Israel's hospitals and cures israelis. That is why his kids were killed. Only Adolphs army used to do such crimes. Israel's war criminals are worst scum in the human history.
