Zionist Turn Ghaza and West Bank into Concentration Camps

[Abdullah k]

The declaration of cease-fire by Israel is a sham and meant to score political points for the racist jews. On the ground reality stays the same as it has been for the past fifty four years. The Palestinean people continue to suffer.

Occupied Jerusalem - Israeli occupation troops continued for the fifth consecutive day to impose a hermetic blockade on population centers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, suffocating the estimated 3.2 million Palestinian population already decimated by eight months of sustained Israeli repression.

The Israeli occupation army erected roadblocks, manned by trigger-happy soldiers, on intersections throughout the West Bank and Gaza to prevent and turn back Palestinian motorists from leaving their immediate places of residence.

"The entire town of Bethlehem has been reduced to a huge detention camp," said acting mayor of Behtlehem Hanna Nasser.

He pointed out that trigger-happy Israeli soldiers manning roadblocks deal harshly with people arriving at the roadblocks.

Earlier on Thursday a woman from Jericho was forced to give birth at an Israel army roadblock outside the town, having been denied access to hospital.

According to the woman's husband, Israeli soldiers told him that "your wife should postpone the childbirth or die."

In the Gaza Strip, the estimated 1.3 million Palestinian population, are completely isolated from the rest of the world, with Israeli occupation troops barring the entry of fuel and food supplies.

Long columns of cars and trucks, which had run out of gas, were seen stranded along the main roads linking Gaza towns and refugee camps while signs were posted on gas stations reading "Sorry-No fuel."

The draconian Israeli measures are aimed at breaking the will of the Palestinian people to resist the Israeli apartheid regime.

"They want to force us to come to terms with their occupation of our land, and that will never be," said a cab driver who was turned back at gunpoint on Bethlehem's northern entrance.

The intensified persecution of Palestinian civilians came a few hours after a number of right-wing radical politicians urged Prime Minister Sharon to turn al Palestinian population centers into "internment camps."

The Israeli government apparently thinks it can go to previously unthinkable extents in tormenting the Palestinians, believing it has the Bush Administration at its beck and call.

Very good post Abdullah. This really exposes the true reality of the daily suffering of the Palestinian people. It shows how the survivors of Nazi concentration camps are themselves adopting the methods of the Nazi's.

Economic and military blockades, checkpoints, Palestinian's branded with ID cards, demolition of homes, the murder of innocents and the subjugation of an entire nation. But the great Palestinian people continue to resist and deny the Jews the victory they so crave.

True, true.
What do you expect from these people.

Our's not to reason why,
Our's but to do and die:

[Abdullah k]

The PA will make a grave mistake by arresting top Hamas activists - in order to appease the extremist Sharon regime - who have been on the forefront during the 'Intifada'. Israel only understands the language of force and there cannot be any peace-agreement until all the occupied land has been liberated.

[Malik73]

Its very true to say that the Jews only understand force. It was their near defeat by the Egyptians in 1973 that convinced them to make peace and return all Egyptian territory. They had to withdraw from Lebanon in 1982 because they got sucked into a Vietnam-style quagmire. And of course in May 2000, they had to withdraw in humilating fashion after faiuling to defeat Hezbollah. Whatever territorial "concessions" have made to the Palestinians has been because the Palestnian's have continued to resist by force where necassary.

The likes of Hamas and Islamic Jihad will bring the Jews to heel just like Hezbollah did.
