UNA MASACRE EN PALESTINA – REACCIONES Y DESARROLLO
Nestor Siniestro 29 Dec 2008 15:29 GMT (translated by Nestor Siniestro)
La Resistencia Palestina ha hecho un llamamiento general para responder la masacre en Gaza – acciones militares, políticas y diplomáticas están actualmente en marcha. Las movilizaciones populares en solidaridad con el pueblo palestino se están expandiendo por todos lados, tanto de forma espontanea como organizada: dentro del propio Israel, y en otros muchos países del mundo, comunidades están organizando manifestaciones y demás acciones de solidaridad.
Aviones Israelíes suministrados por los Estados Unidos, atacaron duramente la franja de Gaza en Palestina en el día de hoy, asesinando a más de 200 personas e hiriendo a más de 700. La población de Gaza de un millón y medio de personas ha estado bajo bloqueo y cerco militar los últimos 18 meses.
Niños que circulaban por las calles dirigiéndose a sus hogares provenientes de la escuela fueron muertos y heridos, mientras que cada uno de los edificios del Gobierno de Palestina elegido democráticamente fueron blanco de los ataques aéreos.
Algunas fuentes informaron de más de 100 bombardeos - y las operaciones todavía no han terminado.
Algunos edificios fueron atacados repetidamente en segundas y terceras oleadas de bombardeos, por lo tanto, médicos que se adentraron en los edificios en busca de heridos fueron asesinados en los subsiguientes bombardeos sobre los edificios.
Cadenas de TV de Oriente medio están mostrando escenas de las calles de Gaza llenas de cadáveres tirados entre llamas y escombros. Algunas imágenes de cuerpos mutilados cual brutal carnicería; tan horrible que se están codificando parcialmente para mostrárselas a los espectadores. La Agencia de Noticias Ma’an informó en base a fuentes sanitarias que la mayoría de las víctimas está siendo llevadas a los hospitales “a trozos”. También informaron de que los pasillos y el depósito de cadáveres de ese hospital se han quedado sin espacio libre.
Kristen Ess, escribiendo para el Palestine News Network informó que las estaciones locales están proporcionado cobertura en directo de los ataques, mostrando “…los cuerpos están quemados, cabezas de niños partidas, hay sangre por todas partes y las cámaras tiemblan con las explosiones”.
La foto que acompaña este artículo fue tomada por un espectador que estaba viendo Al Jazeera en la televisión y publicada por el International Middle East Media Center. Los muertos fotografiados son policías civiles; hacer blanco sobre civiles es una violación de la convención de Ginebra.
Muchos gobiernos del mundo están condenando las acciones, llamando a un alto el fuego y protestando por el empleo desproporcionado de la fuerza por parte de Israel. Muchos gobiernos Europeos y Árabes han hecho llamamientos a la calma y para una inmediata finalización de las operaciones. Rusia, El Vaticano y también la UE se unieron para expresar la profunda preocupación por la matanza de inocentes. Solo los gobiernos de Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido han rechazado sumarse a la comunidad mundial, poniéndose de parte del régimen sionista de Israel; y haciendo incendiarias y provocativas declaraciones insultando deliberadamente a la comunidad bombardeada.
En todas las grandes ciudades por todo el mundo, están surgiendo protestas en solidaridad con Palestina. Muchos partidos políticos en Europa están condenando la masacre Israelí.
En la propia Palestina, tan pronto como se corrió la voz sobre los ataques y se empezó a conocer la magnitud de la atrocidad; estallaron manifestaciones por todos lados; los jóvenes armados solamente con palos y piedras batallaron con las tropas israelíes que les contestaron con productos y químicos y otro tipo de armas – también hubo arrestos.
Las manifestaciones tuvieron lugar en todas las ciudades de la orilla este además de en el este de Jerusalén y en Hebrón.
Se ha hecho un llamamiento de 3 días de luto en todo el país y una huelga general está siendo organizada en protesta por la masacre.
Las milicias palestinas y los grupos de resistencia han lanzado unos 70 cohetes improvisados haciendo blanco en territorio israelí. Una persona ha muerto en estos ataques. La mayoría de estos cohetes han caído en zonas despobladas sin causar ni heridos ni daños materiales. Es probable que los ataques aéreos estén encaminados a un ataque terrestre, por lo tanto, las fuerzas de resistencia se están preparando para defender sus barrios.
Dentro de la sociedad palestina, existe actualmente un renovado impulso por la unidad entre las muchas facciones, se hace hincapié en la unidad entre Fatah y Hamas; las dos organizaciones palestinas más grandes y con mayor influencia.
El líder político de Hamas ha hecho un llamamiento por la tercer Intifada. La llamada es para una Intifada armada en contra de las fuerzas Sionistas, y también para un Intifada Pacífica “interna”, esto significa que existe una preocupación para minimizar la magnitud del conflicto entre Hamas y Fatah y especialmente se busca evitar un baño de sangre.
Mientras el mundo se moviliza para oponerse a las atrocidades de Israel, la causa de la unidad va a ser el factor más crucial que determine el resultado de todo esfuerzo.

This article was hard to read so I didnt read it
shelly 28.Dec.2008 10:40
but I did a search on it. I searched for the missiles fired by Hamas on Israel Civilians. I did not find this information. The bases of theses missiles are within theses crowded areas in gaza. That is the tactic of Hamas. They wanted and they got dead an injured People. Now they can start their propaghanda. Israel had to stop the Hamas fireing missiles killing civilians in his cities. That is a fact no normal thinking person can deny. It seem that only parts of the radical left wing is acceping these terrorist acts agains civillians. I do not. Israel has the right for self defence. The hamas is not interested in peace. Israel has my full solidarity.
and i searched your comment
zikit 28.Dec.2008 11:11
Hi
I searched your comment and found some mistakes: although Israel declared (and at first even we, in israel, believed) attacking only military targets, it appears today that most of the dead are civilians, or civil police, or government workers. BUT - israel did bomb military head quaters. How ever, they were mostly empty and did not rezide in populated areas. so saying that the hundreds dead, and the hundreds, apperantly, to die, are the fault of the hamas placing military targets inside populated reas is wrong.
Israel and the Hamas have had a cock fight over who has bigger and longer, who's insulted more then the other, who will imppress the public better with statments of war, for the past 8 years.
THe only solution in my mind is a complete stop to the source of gurilla terror as much as state terror - putting an end to the occupation, and stopping the siege (militry, economically and diplomatically) on Gaza. That's the only way to secure people, be they palestinians, israelies, jews or arabs.

andy 28.Dec.2008 12:44
This is no competition about "whos the biggest" as you say. You can not compare Israels warmachine to Hamas random bombs and guns. Gaza is the densest populatet area in the world. If they, as you say, have placed militarybases close to sivil areas, it is because they aren't operating a warmachine but a small resistensgroup. This is not a complicated conflict, it is ethnichal cleansing, and as for the historical facts, read them. It makes the whole thing less complicated, and at the same time a lot more frustraing.... A shameful day for anyone how considers himself a world citizen...
this is not ethnical cleansing
d 28.Dec.2008 13:18
ethnical cleansing is a big word. who uses this describing what is happeing in the conflict wants to polarize. tell me what israel should do? they would accept a two state solution. but the hamas wants israel dead. how shell they react on missiles killing israel civilians?
Israel is willing for peace. everybody knows this. they were under attack since the beginning in 1948. they fought back and they won. they made peace with egypt und jordania (and many others). they are willing to give the palestines a state. all they want is not to be attacked by suicide bombers and missiles. not to much do you think.
what do you exptext from your governmet if your neighbour state fires missiles on your cities?
facts
andy 28.Dec.2008 14:22
Read "the Arab-Israel reader", get the facts right, and maybe will talk again. But as long as you live in denial and keep making up history... Hamas have killed something like 20 israelies the last 7 years, israelies have killed 1400 palestinians....

La rue arabe s'enflamme (Le Monde )
pip 28.Dec.2008 17:53
De Sanaa à Damas, les manifestations se multiplient dans le monde arabe contre les raids menés par Israël dans la bande de Gaza, tandis que les dirigeants de la région, profondément divisés, se concentrent pour le moment sur l'envoi d'aide humanitaire.
Lors de ces manifestations, des critiques ont fusé à l'encontre de certains pays arabes, en particulier de l'Egypte, accusée de "complicité" avec l'Etat hébreu. Dans les camps de réfugiés palestiniens au Liban, le président égyptien Hosni Moubarak a été qualifié de "traître", tandis que l'ambassade d'Egypte à Beyrouth était dimanche la cible de pierres lancées par des centaines de manifestants, entraînant l'intervention des forces de l'ordre libanaises. Le Hamas lui-même, par la voix de son porte-parole, a estimé que les raids israéliens étaient "un complot orchestré" avec l'Egypte après la rencontre, jeudi, entre M. Moubarak et la ministre des affaires étrangères israélienne Tzipi Livni.

Dimanche, plus de 50 000 personnes ont manifesté dans une dizaine de villes d'Egypte, alors que plusieurs dizaines de milliers de Yéménites défilaient à Sanaa. Dans le centre de Damas, des milliers de Syriens ont protesté contre "l'agression israélienne" et le "silence" des pays arabes, alors que des centaines de Palestiniens manifestaient dans l'enceinte de leur consulat à Dubaï. Dans le nord de l'Irak, un Irakien a été tué et seize ont été blessés dans un attentat suicide au vélo piégé à Mossoul, lors d'une manifestation.
Des manifestations ont également eu lieu en Cisjordanie. Dans plusiers villes du territoire, des heurts ont éclaté et un manifestant palestinien a été tué par des tirs israéliens.
AIDE HUMANITAIRE
Les dirigeants arabes, eux, n'ont toujours pas officiellement arrêté la date d'un sommet de la Ligue arabe proposé par la Syrie et le Qatar. De source diplomatique, on affirmait samedi qu'il aurait lieu vendredi prochain à Doha.
Le numéro un libyen Mouammar Kadhafi a fustigé les réactions "lâches et défaitistes" des pays de la région face à l'offensive israélienne, et annoncé d'emblée qu'il n'assisterait pas à un "sommet qui fait jouer un disque rayé depuis longtemps".
Si les dirigeants arabes sont divisés concernant le Hamas, c'est en raison des tensions persistantes entre les pays dits "modérés", comme l'Arabie saoudite et l'Egypte, soutenus par les Etats-Unis, et les pays qui prônent la "résistance" contre Israël, notamment la Syrie et son principal allié non arabe, l'Iran.
Pour l'heure, les gouvernements se pressent pour offrir des aides humanitaires : deux avions qataris transportant 50 tonnes de matériel médical étaient attendus à l'aéroport égyptien d'Al-Arish, à 40 km de Rafah, tandis le roi Abdallah d'Arabie saoudite a également décidé d'envoyer trois avions d'aide et proposé d'évacuer les blessés par avion.
(En France)
Plus d'un millier de personnes ont manifesté dimanche à Paris, au cours de deux rassemblements distincts, pour protester contre les raids israéliens. La plus importante, qui a réuni quelque 1 300 personnes selon la police, s'est déroulée à Barbès, dans le 18e arrondissement. Brandissant des drapeaux palestiniens, les manifestants portaient des banderoles sur lesquelles on pouvait lire notamment : "Stop au massacre des innocents". Un drapeau américain a été brûlé au cours du rassemblement, organisé à l'appel de plusieurs associations, dont EuroPalestine et l'Union générale des étudiants de Palestine.
Une autre manifestation a eu lieu place de l'Etoile, et a rassemblé entre 150 et 300 personnes, selon la police ou les organisateurs. "Nous sommes tous Palestiniens", "Shoah à Gaza", "Israël terroriste, Europe complice", scandaient notamment les manifestants, dont certains brandissaient le drapeau du Hezbollah libanais. – (avec AFP)

150 persone si sono concentrate a piazza Navona nel pomeriggio di oggi 28.12.08 per manifestare contro gli ennesimi massacri posti in essere da Israele. Presenti compagni di diverse strutture, con bandiere della Palestina e del Libano. Un corteo spontaneo si è mosso fino a Campo dei Fiori, sotto la statua di Giorgano Bruno, megafonando e denunciando ai passanti ciò che l'informazione mainstream sta in buona parte occultando.
Domani l'appuntamento è per le 16.30 sotto la sede della Rai, sabato corteo per le vie di Roma.
just to make you understand my point
shelly d 28.Dec.2008 21:04
I dont question that israel is killing more people than hamas. but this ist not a measering which can bring us foreward. I dont want people to be killed. But Hamas wants to kill israel civilians - that is their proposed aim. that is there politik they dont deny this. Israel dont want to kill paelstine civilians. why should they? but apperantely they have to.
Nobody would deny, that the israelis in israel are in danger to be killed if there were not some securety measures. The fence. The controls. the secret service. the military options.
Normally i hate all of this things as i am more an anarchist as many others writing on indymedia. but as an anarchist i would never tolerate someone trying to kill me or my comrades my friends or innocent people living around me. I would have to find a way to stop this. normally i could negotiate. But if my opponent says I want to kill you and all of your brunch. Then I would fight.
This fight is extremely difficult but Israel has to prevent the death of anyone of his citizens. And theire were more the 20 deaths. The suicide bombings did a great job. The atmosphere of angst is not tolerable. So Israel left Gaza saying you can gover yourselfe. All thy got is missiles. They had to fight back. If they kill more people trying to launch missiles taht is good. If they have the power and the military machine even better. Those who needs to prevent terrorist attacks should always have the better arms. A pitty if not so.
I am fighting nazis around here and I am happy that we win because we have better circumstances. Israel fight some islamistic nazis and they win. and they have my solidarity.
Who is making the profit here?

Israel is an interesting test case for the legitimicy of the state, and for learning how victims turn on other victims.
It is important not to forget that after the holocaust, a frightened and battered Jewish people moved to Israel to find peace and security and found only more war and bloodshed... and yes... corruption, and yes.. crime and manipulation. But the true criminals in this war are not the Jews or the Palestinians or the Arabs - It is the people who sell the weapons to both sides and push them into this impossible situation. I suggest that the Palestinian people collect every piece of weapon used in this war, trace it to the manufactured - and sue the weapon manufacturers, sue the energy companies that provided fuel to the aeroplanes, and sue the people funding this war from both sides.

Oggi attivisti del cso Pedro e dell’associazione Ya Basta hanno compiuto un’azione simbolica per esprimere solidarietà e vicinanza alla popolazione di Gaza vittima dei vergognosi bombardamenti dell’esercito israeliano.
Gli attivisti hanno posto dei carri armati di cartone nello storico presepe presente ai piedi del cavalcavia Borgomagno a Padova e uno striscione con scritto "Stop al massacro di Gaza-Free Palestine".
Con questa azione si è voluto esprimere un legame anche con tutte le persone conosciute nei tanti viaggi nei territori occupati, dall’ultimo a Gaza due mesi fa a bordo della "Dignity" con il Free Gaza movement alla carovana Sport sotto l’assedio, e tanti altri ancora.

All you people who call this "Genocide" or "ethnic cleansing" are idiots
CrocodilusPontifex 02.Jan.2009 07:55
Tell me, what state in the region has responded better to terrorism than Israel?
In 1982, the Syrian Army crushed a small Muslim Brotherhood uprising in the Syrian city Hama by completely destroying the city, killing over 20,000 of its own civilians.
In 1988, Iran tortured and executed over 30,000 members of the resistance group the People's Mujahadeen of Iran.
In 1988, Saddam Hussein killed over 5000 Kurdish civilians using poison gas after an uprising there.
It is an insult to these tens of thousands of people killed to call the 350 dead Gazans, most of which are members of Hamas, as "genocide" or "ethnic cleansing."
Fact and opinion
Michael S. 02.Jan.2009 19:06
Fact: Israel left Gaza to the Palestinians in September 2005. Most Israelis were nervous about this since it brought hostile Palestinians within easy striking range of many southern Israeli cities.
Fact: Hamas has been lobbing missiles into southern Israel for the last three years, in violation of a treaty with Israel. At least 6,400 missiles have been launched into non-military targets from Gaza in this period.
Opinion: Israel showed more restraint than any other nation would have, and certainly more than Hamas deserved.
Fact: Hamas places missile launchers and military planning facilities in the midst of crowded civilian areas. In spite of this, the vast majority of Gazans killed were military combatants. Israel, like most nations, separates their military facilities from civilian populations.
Opinion: Hamas, a terroristic political organization devoted to the destruction of Israel should be demolished and the Palestinian people should return the PA to power.

http://space4peace.blogspot.com/2008/12/not-acceptable.html
for duplicated email in case. Even though I am lazy and selfish
person, I wanted to send you the news of my Korean friends' courageous
step who had a protest against the Israel's attack on Gaza. Please
look at the links below for the great photos. There is much to share
of the colonial history between Palestine and Korea.
Sending this, knowing Korea and the world has no rest despite
year-ending, it is hard to say, happy new year. But if you allow me, I
wish all of you great year. And thank you so much for your inspiration
this year.
I know there are many young peace activists in Israel who are not
afraid going to jail against the conscription. Please support young
Israeli peace activists, here, too.
FOR THE KOREAN NEWS
