Gaza Is a Concentration Camp
Gaza is
an immense concentration camp -- 1.5 million people squeezed into 140
square miles hemmed in on all sides by 25-foot-high walls separated by a
vast expanse of bulldozed earth. The 2005 "pull-out" left Gaza still
controlled by Israel from air and sea, its entries and exits prison-like
mazes electronically controlled and under constant surveillance.
Bombing it, assaulting it with American made tanks and missiles, is like shooting animals
in a pen. The claptrap about "pinpoint" accuracy and "avoiding
civilians" is a lie so flagrant, so transparent, that any child --
certainly any Gaza child -- could grasp it.

PCHR Weekly Report: Nearly 1300 Palestinians
killed in 3-week long Israeli assault

In 1947 the UN awarded
Israel more than 50% of the land, even though they were a minority.
At that time one bothered to consult with the Palestinians. By
1949, after the 1948 war, the Zionists had pursed the lines back even
further.
The
green areas in the 2000 map, at the right, are what Israel offered
during the Oslo peace process in 1990's. This was Prime Minister
Barak's generous offer. The Palestinian state would have amounted
to isolated enclaves, all surrounded by Israeli highways, armed
checkpoints, and barbed wire. No self respecting Palestinian could
possibly have been expected to accept such an offer.
UN Security Council resolution 242 would require Israel to return to the
1967 line in the third map, still a vastly shrunken Arab Palestine.
These
maps afford insight into the great injustice that continues in
Palestine. No wonder these maps almost never appear in the US
media. They tell an inconvenient truth, one that must be kept from
the American people.
