Palestinian doctor Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish was giving Israel's Channel 10 his daily account from inside the war zone in Gaza when three of his daughters were killed in an Israeli attack.

In his report, he called for help as his house was attacked.

Eamonn, Leah, C+C (and anyone else involved),

Well done on this; it was a great idea and very, very well executed. It was also quite a task to gather so many signatures (I know from my own efforts to get some on the list!) and then put the video together and present it in such a professional manner.

I've added it to my blog, hopefully some of my 30 (ish) readers will add their names and add it to their blogs, and their readers might add their names.

Again, well done.
Mark.

One Excerpt: "Attorney Michael Sefarad, who specialized in international law, said that we must remember that the entire mechanism of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague was put in place after World War II and the Holocaust, at the Jewish people's demand.

Sefarad believes that Israel grossly violated international law during the Gaza campaign, maybe even to the extant of committing war crimes: "The hope is that we will be the ones to seek out those responsible and bring them to justice. If that is not done, then an international organization should do it, otherwise the atrocities will continue."

Yuli Tamir does not " oversee" slaughter in Gaza.
She is a member of peace now, and a couragous
educator who has drawn the wrath of right wingers in
both America and Israel for including the term " Nabka " in
Israeli school textbooks.

Try to fight another fighter.

""I spelled this out clearly to the Israeli ambassador when we met on January 6 and the Israeli Education Minister, whom I met this morning. The frank exchange of views through such contacts is the essence of diplomatic activity. The Israeli ambassador has thoroughly and professionally carried out his duties, just as our ambassador in Tel Aviv has reported thoroughly on Israeli thinking and actively carried out his consular functions. I regard calls for the withdrawal or expulsion of ambassadors as misguided and counterproductive."

From a real dinger of a right wing article: http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/ireland-rema....html

Yes, she is. Is it your point that there should be no Israeli government ministers, or that there should be a different Israeli government for her to be a minister of ? If the latter, how would she be more effective than as a counterweight to the extreme right wing which she currently is ?

The article in the Independent by Mr Arnold is indeed disappointing journalism.

The propaganda stunt by Israel's Minister for Education worked with him.

The State of Israel may have weapons of mass destruction, white phosphorus, DIME bombs and other inhuman weaponry, but it never gives up on propaganda, even - or especially - lying propaganda.

The State of Israel cannot be allowed to perpetrate or get away with massive crimes in Gaza because of this unrelenting propaganda blitz.
