Bombing of Gaza children gives me “orgasm”: Israelis celebrate slaughter on Facebook

Bombing of Gaza children gives me “orgasm”: Israelis celebrate slaughter on Facebook

Israel’s latest assault on the besieged Gaza Strip has been accompanied by yet another sharp increase in incitement against Palestinians and solidarity activists on social media outlets, such as Facebook and Twitter.


Facebook groups have been set up to call for the collective
punishment of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Others host incitement
against Palestinian students at Israeli universities, including posting pictures of and personal information about individual students.


The radical and violent anti-Palestinian climate in Israel is not divorced from reality.


After more than a week of Israeli government threats to do so,
commandos launched the first ground incursion into the northern Gaza
Strip early Sunday morning, reported Ma’an News Agency.


At the time of writing, there have been no Israeli deaths as a result
of rockets fired by armed Palestinian groups in Gaza, though much of
the mainstream media have focused on the impact of rocket fire on Israel
rather than the staggering death toll in the Gaza Strip.


As Israel’s latest military offensive enters its sixth day, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reports that 170 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 injured.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 01/13/2009 | Poll: American public backs Israel firmly in war with Hamas

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 01/13/2009 | Poll: American public backs Israel firmly in war with Hamas : "WASHINGTON — As Palestinian casualties mount in the Gaza Strip, the American people are squarely behind Israel and overwhelmingly think that using force against Hamas is appropriate, according to a new McClatchy/Ipsos poll. Forty-four percent of Americans support Israel's use of force, while only 18 percent considered Hamas' use of force appropriate. Fifty-seven percent think that Hamas is using excessive force, while only 36 percent said Israel was. Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the violence — soldiers and civilians — and at least nine Israeli soldiers and four civilians have died. When it comes to who's to blame for the latest Middle East crisis, Americans blame Hamas hands down: Forty-four percent said Hamas, 14 percent said Israel and 29 percent said they weren't sure. Nine percent said both, and 4 percent said neither."
