The world can never really know thoroughness with which the Zionist killing machine ravaged Gaza and its people. Just as words and photographs can never really capture a beautiful mountain or ocean vista, no words or photographs can deliver the enormity of this war crime. One would need to have been there. Likewise, the world can never really know the numbers of Israeli soldiers killed and wounded by the indomitable Palestinian Resistance who were outgunned and out numbered by the killers. This is because the Zionist regime in Palestine are hiding the numbers of their own dead and wounded. Nor can we know the residual military strength and numbers of Hamas’ guerrilla fighters at this time. But of one thing we can be certain: the truly amazing spirit of the Palestinian Resistance has only been deepened in the people of Gaza and the West Bank.
Attrition of Reason: The Zionists and their Washington syncophants think that their war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq have eclipsed and subsumed their war crimes in Gaza. They think the “shock and awe” of these wars have numbed all that is truly good in the people of the world. They think their lies and obfuscations have left people questioning their own native intelligence and judgement. They think these holocausts have rendered the masses helpless, without the reason, will, heart or morality to fight back. This has been their biggest mistake. Arrogance and ignorance are joined from birth, like hapless twins, at the hip. Thus, arrogance blindly oversteps itself – always. This is the greatest of all the strategic and tactical mistakes that are being made by the Zionists.
Attrition of Memory: The Zionists and their Washington backers knew there would be worldwide outrage at their revolting handiwork. They are counting on the world to forget and allow their crimes to fade, relegated to an historical footnote in their march toward full spectrum dominance of the Middle East. They think memory of their war crimes will be controlled and squirreled away in another rathole by their revisionist historians. They also think their slaughters at Sabra and Shatila in 1982, their massacre in Jenin in 2002, their bombardments of Lebanon in 2006, killing and maiming thousands, and many other attempts at ethnic cleansing – have been effectively obscured and buried by their revisionists. But none of it is forgotten; instead, each of their crimes has entered the world’s irrepressible collective memory and consciousness.
Attrition of Morality: Somehow, against the backdrop of millions killed and utter destruction in Iraq, the thousands maimed and killed and the destruction of the Gazan infrastructure looms bigger. The world’s moral outrage – not against the Jews – but against the “state” of Israel has lain dormant in the hearts and minds of people around the world for decades. The slaughter in Gaza has taken the lid off that cauldron of bitter dissent for the first time in 60 years. Not even the powerful, Zionist-controlled media in the United States has been able to suppress, by obfuscation and deception, these truths. Neither can the morality and righteous indignation of the world be cowed by the tiresome and deceptive charges of “anti-semitism” this time.
We will not cooperate with the attrition of reason, memory, morality on which the Zionists so much depend. We urge all honest alternative media to do everything possible to keep the details and impact of these atrocities fresh in the minds of the public. We will be doing our part to deny any fading memory or distortions of these war crimes – accusations of “Anti-semitism” be damned.
In her 23rd report from Gaza since the Zionists launched their attacks on December 27, Hiyam Noir bears witness to the destruction and misery inflicted upon the Gazans from air, sea and land in Palestine. Read her latest report on the devastation of the Al-Attatra village.
