Protest for UK Doctors Gaza Access

fil kaler | 24.05.2009 15:39 | Palestine

Pro Palestine activist picketed David Miliband MP house in Primrose Hill, London in solidarity with the two British surgeons who are on hunger strikes after being denied access to the Gaza strip.








Protesters attempted to deliver a letter to the Foreign Secretary house, calling on him to apply diplomatic pressure on the Egyptians, but were prevented to do so by police officers.

Two British surgeons on a humanitarian mission to Gaza are undertaking hunger strikes until permitted access to the city from Egypt’s Rafah crossing.

Dr. Omar Mangoush, a heart surgeon from Hammersmith Hospital has been refused access daily since May 4th. He intends to establish a cardiac unit at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City where at present no such facility exists. He is part of a larger medical collective who are working in association with Palestine International Medical Aid (PIMA).

British reconstructive surgeon Dr. Sonia Robbins has been denied access to the region for more than fifty days, despite working in Gaza and the West Bank for many years and having numerous existing patients she is unable to reach. She is now embarking upon an indefinite hunger strike until access is granted

Israel completes transformation into perfect evil racist entity

24.05.2009 22:57

Miliband is a Jew who actively supported the Holocaust carried out by the Jewish state of Israel against the people of Gaza earlier this year. The UK is at the very centre of the ongoing siege of Gaza, being both the architect, and the diplomatic enforcer of the policy, not Israel, or the USA. Appealing to members of the New Labour Nazi administration for decency, Humanity, and mercy is a complete waste of time.

Meanwhile, for those of you who refuse to see how wicked and depraved Israel actually is, may I suggest you read one of the most horrifying reports of evil to be announced in our lifetime.

 http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090524/twl-israel-to-ban-naqba-commemoration-3cd7efd.html

With the active support of Obama, and Tony Blair (like Putin, the real strongman and actual leader of our nation), Israel is about to imprison people that dare to mark the zionist Holocaust against Palestinians, known as the 'Naqba'. Israel is claiming the right to imprison for THREE YEARS any person in Israel that attempts to mark this event. Of course, Israel will also claim the right to send death squads into Gaza and the West Bank to murder any person there who dares to mark 'Naqba'.

With this one breathtaking act of ultimate racist evil, Israel becomes the exact copy of Nazi Germany, with the exact same 'laws' enacted for the exact same racist aims. While Blair is about to make 'holocaust denial' a crime throughout the EU (for one particular 20th century holocaust only, namely the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews), 'holocaust denial' is about to become state policy in Israel, with those that refuse to deny the Holocaust of Palestinians either imprisoned or murdered.

Some of us know that the spirit of Adolf Hitler has been reborn. Others of you are in denial, being the kind of apologists that bought the Nazis essential time during the 1930s. Others again are active supporters of the new Nazis at the heart of all three major political parties in the UK, and their allies in the USA, Israel, and most other nations of the West.

Hitler enacted laws against the Jews to use those same laws for the most obscene purpose. Israel is enacting identical laws against the 'non-Jewish' part of Israel's population, for the exact same reason. If Palestinian families within Israel now dare to mention the Holocaust against their people, the murderous state thugs of Israel now have the legal right to destroy those families utterly. Likewise, if Palestinians within the west Bank or Gaza dare to do the same, Obama and Blair will state that Israel has the right to use missile strikes to mass murder those same families for their 'thought crimes'.

What were you doing when Israel announced the most obscene racist law against 'thought crimes' since the time of Adolf Hitler? Will you remember this day as people recall the moment they heard about 9/11 or the assassination of Kennedy? You should do, because no event since World War 2 has more significance for our future than this.

Innocence has completely died. The pretence has been ended once and for all. This act by Israel, supported absolutely by the regimes of Britain, France, Canada, the USA, Germany, Australia, and on and on, is an act of evil so pure and vile that its darkness would rival a black hole with the mass of our universe at its centre. Hitler dreamt of reaching a place in time where he could dispense with the pretence of having 'right' on his side, and howl at the world "all I have is might, and all I need is might". Since its formation, the depraved racist state of Israel has stated the same desire, and has built up an arsenal of nuclear and biological weapons for the specific stated purpose of being able to destroy all Human life on our planet. It was always apparent that should Israel be allowed to complete its transformation into a clone of Nazi Germany, we would be at the very edge of the next world War.

When Hitler's Nazis stopped caring about what the rest of the World thought about their policies, World War 2 was just around the corner. Now Israel is at the same point, and in full view of each and every one of us, promised a "Holocaust" (the actual word they used) in Gaza, and then delivered exactly that a few months ago. Today, Israel declares identical thought crime laws against Palestinians as Hitler and the Nazis used against the Jews. We are once again reliving those final days of the 1930s before all hell broke loose.

Tomorrow will be worse than today


Egypt has had enough of Gaza and Hezbollah

25.05.2009 23:37

Hezbollah has been gunrunning inside Egypt, Hamas rather than smuggle food through its tunnels is smuggling 100s tons of rockets and explosives.
The idiot talking about a holocaust in Gaza should aks whether jews fired 8,000 rockets at Germans in the war.
There's no comparison. If Israel had wanted, it could have flattened shifa hospital where the Hamas leaders were hiding throughout the war.
Israel wants peace with the Palestinians, but won't commit suicide like what some people here want.
If there is any parallel with the holocaust, it is that jews won't be attacked any more without giving the enemy a bloody nose.
I hope the doctors are let in by Egypt to do there good work in Shifa hospital. Let's hope Hamas doesn't start attacking Israel again or the doctors work will be in vain.
