What hit Palestine in 1948 like a sledgehammer was something akin to pure evil. It must've been like watching the birth of that creature in "Aliens". It totally destroyed its host. May we pray it doesn't do the same to Palestine. JO
The first film footage of Palestine circa 1896
the French movie pioneers brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière sent cameramen over to Palestine in 1896 to shoot the first moving images of life in the region.
At this time, Palestine was a remnant of the Ottoman Empire with around 500,000 inhabitants—30,000 of whom lived in Jerusalem. 85% of the population were Muslim, 10% Christian and 5% were Jewish. All were subjects of the Sultan of Constantinople.
This incredible footage comes from the 93 reels recovered by Lobster Films, a film preservation company based in Paris, in 2007. Serge Bromberg, the company’s co-founder said:

====================================
At least nine people were killed, including a baby, when an Israeli shell slammed into a UN-run school in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday, an AFP correspondent said.
Emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra put the toll as high as 15 dead and dozens injured, with more bodies and wounded expected to arrive at nearby hospitals.
It was the latest in a number of Israeli strikes on schools and hospitals in the embattled Palestinian territory, as the death toll from a 17-day operation to halt rocket fire by Gaza militants topped 770.
A spokesman for the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA separately confirmed “multiple dead and injured” at the school in Beit Hanun, which was being used as a shelter by hundreds of Palestinians fleeing a major Israeli operation in the area.
“Precise coordinates of the UNRWA shelter in Beit Hanun had been formally given to the Israeli army,” Chris Gunness said on his Twitter account.

Webmaster's Commentary:
To the Israeli government: stop this genocidal carnage, and right now!! You are behaving like the absolute, MORALLY LOWEST, scum of the earth, in targeting innocent women, children, and the medically frail.
And to UNRWA: NEVER, EVER GIVE PRECISE COORDINATES OF SHELTERS TO THE IDF AGAIN: THEY WILL USE IT TO BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF CIVILIANS THE NEXT TIME YOU DO.

Sharing pictures of corpses on social media isn’t the way to bring a ceasefire

How many pictures of dead children do you need to see before you understand that killing children is wrong?
How many pictures of dead children do you need to see before you understand that killing children is wrong?
A lot lot more until our leaders in the west wake up and stop supporting the slaughter of children, women and the elderly. This is not a war and people need to understand that, it's needless slaughter of the innocents.
Political Bestiality: The Israeli Pogrom of Gaza
Let’s start with terms: “bestiality,” bestial is marked by base or inhuman instincts or desires, brutal, to which bestiality adds, display or gratification of bestial traits or impulses; “pogrom,” an organized massacre of helpless people, specifically [and ironically], such a massacre of Jewish people. (Webster’s) Singly, and in combination, I believe we have an accurate description of Israel’s aggression in Gaza, the irony of course being that we see a replay of the barbarous treatment of the Jews practiced throughout history now instead being carried forward by Jews themselves in, yes, a massacre, as brutal as in Czarist times, of Gazans.
· Hezbollah stands by Palestinians
‘………Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was addressing a crowd of Lebanese people on the occasion of the International Quds Day on Friday, said that Israel’s massacres in the blockaded sliver meant to remove not only Hamas but all Palestinian resistance factions.
“We, in Hezbollah, stand beside the Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance without an exception. We will not spare any means of support that we can and are able to provide,” Nasrallah said, adding, “We feel that we are true partners with the Palestinian resistance. ... Your victory is our own.”
Nasrallah stated the Zionist regime’s aggression against the coastal enclave will result in a defeat for Israel, similar to the 2006 war against Lebanon, citing Palestinian missiles that can reach Tel Aviv today.
“To the Zionist I say: In Gaza, you are moving in a circle of failure and do not go to the circle of suicide or a total collapse.”

Palestinian artists illustrate the deadly realities in Gaza
It’s hard to find the words to encapsulate how infuriating and sorrowful the situation is getting to be in Gaza. As of this writing, over 750 Palestinians — the overwhelming majority are civilians — have been killed in Gaza. Over a quarter are believed to be children. Facing the most difficult of circumstances, we are seeing the resilience of Palestinian youth through the simplest, yet most powerful of mediums: creative arts intervention.

Israel Transforms Tunnels into Gas Chambers
Prime Minister Netanyahu, every year on Holocaust Day, your nation cries crocodile tears for the gas chambers used during WWII. Shoah, you call it, a Biblical calamity.+ Your use of improvised gas chambers not only revokes your right to do so, but also defines you and your army as war criminals. Your place is in a trial chamber in Nuremberg.

Israeli shell hits UN-run school used to shelter hundreds of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, killing 15 and injuring at least 200
An Israeli shell has hit a UN-run school in Gaza, killing 15 and injuring at least 200 who were seeking shelter from fierce clashes on the streets outside.
Pools of blood soiled the school courtyard which was packed with mainly woman and children and there was a large scorch mark in the courtyard marking the place where one of the tank shells hit.
Although the UN said they had given the Israeli army the co-ordinates of the school to prevent such an incident, the shells landed on the school where families had gathered in the courtyard expecting to be evacuated shortly in a Red Cross convoy.
Israel seeks ethnic cleansing of Palestinians: Analyst
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/07/26/372902/israel-after-genocide-in-palestine/
A political analyst says Israel’s relentless onslaught against the Gaza Strip is aimed at ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, Press TV reports.
In an interview with Press TV on Saturday, Scott Rickard, a former American intelligence linguist, said the Tel Aviv regime seeks to wipe the entire Palestine of its native inhabitants.
“This is genocide. This is ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Palestine,” Rickard said, adding that Israel’s crimes against Palestinians amount to “war crimes.”
“They’re basically trying to wipe out the entire Gaza infrastructure and reoccupy Gaza,” the analyst added.
He also lashed out at the Egyptian government for helping the Israeli regime with its crimes against Palestinians by keeping the Rafah border crossing closed.
The Rafah border crossing is the only escape route from Gaza that does not lead into Israel. It can be used for the delivery of food and medical stuff to Gaza.
“It’s horrific to see them (Egyptians) abusing their power of the border crossing and not allowing humanitarian aid to go in and help these defenseless individuals who are just being slaughtered on daily basis,” Rickard said.
The death toll from 19 days of Israel’s war on Gaza has surpassed 1,000 while more than 6,000 others have been injured.
According to the UN, over 80 percent of the Palestinian fatalities have been civilians, including more than 200 children.

JEW BUTCHERS DANCE AND GO ORGASMIC MURDERING PALESTINIANS

The deliberate targeting of the UNRWA school where Palestinians, mostly women and children who had been told to evacuate their former residence were hiding, is another major war crime committed by the sadistic butcher Netanyahu, but will anyone hold this sick SOB to account?
NO, he will go on doing what he loves doing; butchering women and children in Palestine.
And the JEW BUTCHERS will keep slaughtering Palestinians like sheep, then blaming the victims for being so rude and trying to stop a 155 mm artillery shell by hiding in a location that the sadistic JEW BUTCHERS told their victims to hide.
Then lie about the massacre afterwards.

Israelis gather on hillsides to watch and cheer as military drops bombs on Gaza
By: Cactus Moon
As the sun begins to sink over the Mediterranean, groups of Israelis gather each evening on hilltops close to the Gaza border to cheer, whoop and whistle as bombs rain down on people in a hellish warzone a few miles away.
Old sofas, garden chairs, battered car seats and upturned crates provide seating for the spectators. On one hilltop, a swing has been attached to the branches of a pine tree, allowing its occupant to sway gently in the breeze. Some bring bottles of beer or soft drinks and snacks.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) Whitewashes Israel, The Law Supports Hamas: Reflections on Israel’s Latest Massacre
On 7 July 2014, Israel unleashed Operation Protective Edge against Gaza. When it launched a ground invasion on 18 July 2014, Israel had already killed 230 Gazan Palestinians, of whom 75 percent (171) were civilians and 20 percent (48) children, wounded more than 1,700, and destroyed or rendered uninhabitable hundreds of homes leaving more than 10,000 Gazans without shelter. On the other side, according to daily updates Palestinian projectiles had killed one Israeli civilian, wounded 18, and damaged three Israeli homes. It’s hard to conceive of a more disproportionate balance sheet in an alleged “war.”

Kerry presses Hamas to accept pro-Israeli cease-fire plan

Fears grow other groups may join Hamas fight vs. Israel after Kerry peace effort fails
Hamas rejected Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s call for a cease-fire amid concerns that an agreement won’t be reached before other parties are drawn into its conflict with Israel.
A new jihadi media outlet called Al Fawaris released a video Wednesday calling on Gazans to endure the military operation. Its message said victory looms and that Muslims all over the world support them.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Kerry went in there with a "deal" which gives Israel everything it wants (namely all of HAMAS weapons) and nothing HAMAS wants (open borders, use of their own seaport and fishing waters, rights to the natural gas off of their coast). Of course HAMAS turned it down.
Deaths now well over 900
U.S. Lifts Israel Flight Ban as Gaza Death Toll Reaches 700
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ban on commercial flights traveling to Tel Aviv late Wednesday as diplomatic efforts failed to forge a truce between Israel and militants in Gaza. The FAA said it was satisfied with the security measures taken by Israel to mitigate potential risks. US Airways announced its service to Tel Aviv would resume Thursday, and some other carriers said flights would resume Friday. Meanwhile, Israel continued assaults and strikes into the Gaza Strip Thursday morning.
===========================
What I find very strange is how all the Media fail to point out that an Israeli Knesset MP mentioned a scenario of 3 Israeli Boys being abducted and killed about a week/2 weeks prior to the actual abduction and killing- what did he know that Israelis and world public were not privy?? Israel arranged this False flag operation, got the boys abducted, had them killed and then set the stage to blame it all on their bogeymen, Hamas just like the USA uses its joint CIA/Mossad Creation, Al Qaeda, as their scapegoat for everything- Blame Hamas, blame Hamas, blame Al Qaeda which is now known by the Masonic name after their pagan goddess, ISIS
· Hamas didn’t abduct settlers: Israel
After three weeks of Israel’s bloody war on Gaza mainly under the pretext of alleged abduction of three Israeli teenagers by Hamas, the Israeli police have acknowledged that the kidnappers were not acting under the orders of the resistance movement.
In a Friday interview with the state-run BBC, Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld ruled out any links between the men responsible for the murdering of the three teenagers and Hamas, saying they are part of a “lone cell.”
Israeli forces killed several Palestinians and arrested hundreds of others, including Hamas members and lawmakers, as part of the search for the three settlers, whom Israel claimed went missing in the West Bank on June 12.
Hamas had denied involvement in the alleged disappearance of the teens.

Israeli Cabinet Mulls Further Escalation: At Least 718 Gazans Killed
The death toll in Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip continues to rise, with at least 718 Gazans now reported slain, overwhelmingly civilians, and thousands wounded. The death toll on the Israeli side stands at 34, 32 of them soldiers, and one civilian from the Philippines.
Among the soaring number of Palestinian civilians, an estimated 24% are children under the age of 18, reflecting the growing tendency of attacks on civilian neighborhoods killing entire families.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This genocidal carnage needs to be stopped; of course, with the US foreign policy enabling these practices, it is hard to imagine just how this is going to happen, in light of the fact that the Israeli government doesn't seem to give a rat's nether regions as to world opinion, which is hardening against this brutal killing of civilians quickly.

Israel Begins Construction Of Concentration Camps Outside Gaza – FAKE NEWS
This is from a fake news site, but I received it through another source. I have no doubt that sooner or later Israel will want to dispossess all Palestinians in all of Palestine, and it will create whatever pretext it can to do that. Netanyahu in particular was opposed to the evacuation of Gaza.
The author of this piece has not treated it as satire and has created several plausible elements. If it is not happening today, we should expect something like it tomorrow.

Israel Begins Construction Of Concentration Camps Outside Gaza
Image Source: Reuters
<National Report>The Israeli government has begun the construction of several strategically placed concentration camps outside of the Gaza Strip. Reports indicate that in the weeks leading up to the Israeli offensive in Gaza a closed-door vote was held in the Knesset that not only authorized the construction of the detention camps, but also created a legal pathway for the eviction of the Palestinian people from Gaza. The native Peoples of Gaza have been classified as an existential threat to the Israeli state and her people, and as such measures will be initiated to remove that threat.
The Israelis have brokered a deal with the Egyptian government which will allow all Gaza residents to become Egyptian citizens. The Israeli government will compensate each adult Palestinian deported to take up residence in Egypt the equivalent of thirty thousand U.S. dollars, roughly five years of per capita income. The concentration and deportation facilities under construction will each house roughly twenty thousand people at a time, with ten such facilities being constructed in total. The facilities will provide for the orderly and incremental integration of the Palestinian people of Gaza into Egyptian society. Egyptian government spokesman Hani Salah discussed the Egyptian governments rational for agreeing to participate in the forces deportation. “There is no political solution that will allow the peaceful coexistence of the Palestinians and Israelis. We are helping our Palestinians brothers and sisters receive a new, better life in Egypt. One in which they will not have to suffer the repression Israel brings down upon them.”
The Israelis expect concentration and deportation facilities to be able to transfer the Palestinian population to Egypt no later than November of 2017. After that point Israeli military forces will be authorized to conduct a pogrom on any remaining Palestinians within the borders of Gaza, who will be designated terrorists and enemies of the state by the Israeli government. The move has been met with outraged outcry by leaders of the Arab world, who liken it in nature to the very horrible acts perpetuated on the Jewish people by Germany during World War Two. Israel has countered that charge by stating that every Palestinian in Gaza will be provided with the chance to start a good life, at Israeli expense, in lands more ideologically akin to themselves. Violence will only be perpetuated on those who stay and threaten the Jewish homeland. The cost for relocation and providing relocation stipends has been estimated at roughly two hundred and eighty billion dollars.
Israeli members of the Likud party have stated to the press that President Obama has been applying secret pressure on the Israeli government to backtrack on legislation legalizing forced deportation of Palestinians. They charge that his administration has threatened to pull financial aid and military support to the Israeli state if they continue forward despite his strong objections. “This man does not support Israel”, said Moshe Levin member of Knesset Likud. “This man speaks words of support for those who attack Israel, for those who question our right to exist, for those who will not rest until we are nothing but rubble under the foot of Islam. This man hates Israel, but Israel will endure in spite of him.”
