Killing Them Where They Hide: Israel Targets U.N. School Havens in Gaza
by C. L. Cook
If there was any doubt Israel's latest campaign of death and horror visited against the refugee populations of the Gaza ghetto was anything other than a war of extermination, this latest outrage should dispel finally that.

Thousands of Gazans have fled their homes, many at the telephoned advice of the Israeli Defense Forces themselves, this being Israel's version of humanitarian warfare - ringing up victims before bombing their homes. Where does a walled-in population run when their homes are being bombed and strafed and run over by tanks?
For many Gazans the answer was the United Nations-run schools. They sought shelter there, but if they believed there they would find haven, the Israeli Defense Forces proved them wrong today, (though to be fair, Israel's IDF has a record of repeatedly targeting the U.N. in Palestine and Lebanon).

The message Israel would send the Palestinians, if not the world, is; "We will kill you where you hide."
[Pacific Free Press apologizes for our recent down time, but reassure it was absolutely unavoidable. Since this article was penned, (Jan. 5, 2008) Israel charged the bombing of the U.N.-sponsored school was in retaliation for mortars and/or rockets fired from the grounds. The IDF released video of purported attackers on school grounds they now admit were not taken from the U.N. School. - ed]

After being scattered to the wind, and having once again suffered hardship, this time in Germany, they have returned. For 60 years now the siege has continued, and they have yet to blow their horn and prove their divinity.
In biblical times, the “sons of Israel†wiped Canaan off the map and slaughtered all of it’s inhabitants. In 1948 it started all over again when the “sons of Israel†wiped Palestine off the map, and the slaughter continues. When this genocide is complete, will they write us some more books to excuse their actions and reaffirm their place in the world as god’s “chosen peopleâ€, as they did last time?
How can people worship a god that commands genocide, condones slavery, and favors one race above all others? I can understand if you are the ones being promised the world, religion holds great power over those, but the rest of us should be smart enough to tell the difference between right and wrong.
Can you make the distinction between facts and beliefs? The failure of the Iraq pre-war “intelligence†proved that many can’t. The distinction was never made and the War was waged on the belief that there was WMD while the evidence that there wasn’t was avoided. This was later described as poor intelligence. I agree.
