Photos From Gaza

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Most have read about the events in Gaza over the past three days, for the most part insulated and buffered by a distance of several thousand miles and one or more oceans, from what is rapidly becoming ground zero of a new and most deadly escalation in the center of the Middle Eastern powder keg. Few, however, have witnessed and documented it quite as well as French photographer Anne Paq and her collection of photos below.

Gaza isn't a residential location.  It's an open-air prison, with Apartheid Israel's own land-grabber military and their Hamas buddies serving as prison guards.

"Idiots Guide to Staying in The Dark Ages: The Koran"

Can just as easily be said of the over-literal interpretation of "that other religious text" can't it.

One day we'll ALL grow up and realise use of "My Religion's better than Your Religion" as a justification for slaughter is no longer tenable.

Wonder what the World would be like if all the effort wasted on promoting one particular Religion over others had been employed in more civilised and useful pursuits.

Bet we'd NOT be facing half the crises we now seem to face on a daily basis.

In view of this, maybe your comment was not quite correct. Maybe you really meant "Idiots Guide to Staying in The Dark Ages: Organised Religion of ALL flavours"

No fucking shit...

If you follow this thread from the beginning, whenever pushed into a corner, the last line of defense is some non-sequitur response like:

- Judiasm is not Zionism

- or, otherwise, call anyone who objects to the tactics of the Apartheid State of Israel as a NAZI (or anti-semite)

Then some other pea brain (thinking they're tying to team up on that side) drags the Koran or Bible straight back in to it...

It's impossible to get a succinct argument going...

~~~

From my POV, the 'closest to the truth' comment was made earlier by someone who referenced the Balfour Declaration... Let's set aside all the bottle rocket volleys across the wall & focus on what's probably the REAL issue...

This is strictly my opinion, but I believe that the Balfour Declaration was only the first tiny step into a scenario that is not even close to being fully played out... Where we are so far is that it provided the blueprint for what is now the Nation State of Israel (and all the dirty dealings required to make that happen)... History is FULL of dirty dealings to make things happen (which are usually the rich & powerful opposing their oppressive wills upon regular folks)...

Now Israel is a reality but unfortunately (and this is never spoken about), that is NOT the end of the plan... The same small group who were beneficiaries of Balfour want the whole kit & kaboodle... That means they want all the land between the Suez Canal & the Tigris & Euphrates Rivers... It's not simply for the oil reserves in the region, but for the fact that the geography is the centerpiece of strategic global traffic...

Over the past 60 years, they have managed to use the United States as the strongman to make things happen... One of the first maneuvers was installing the "puppet" Shah of Iran, but then later followed by installing &/or sanctioning (in one way or another) other "puppet" regimes (some of which still exist), and dotting them all over the region...

But for the Iranian Revolution in the late 70's, the entire plan may have succeeded by now... Instead ~ it underwent a course change... The response to that has met with mixed results ever since... First ~ it was in fundng Saddam Hussein to fight the Iranians... I don't have to go down the list & name them all one by one, but each one has the same objective in the end... Presently ~ the PNAC script is the operative playbook (but again, it's all the same script & the same large chess pieces remain on the board)...

I come down AGAINST Israel because I'm sick & tired of seeing what 'Globalism' means (namely ~ converting the hard work of many into profits for few & fucking up quality of life in the process)... Iran is the thorn in the ass of the 'Globalists' who, following the script of Balfour, now have their foot in the door & want to take over the whole neighborhood (which means 'curtains' for the rest of the world because Suez Canal to Tigris/Euphrates is the most strategic stretch of real estate on the planet)... Iran is what's stopping them (because others, like Russia, who aren't ncessarily intersted in the 'Globalist' agenda) will be at their back, or, others like China & India (with huge populations to worry about) are, at minimum, interested in DEALING with Iran so as to aquire their resources in trade... Israel & America just want to steal it...

So it's all a big fucking stalemate...

Who knows if somebody will 'blink' first, but the only TRUTH is that these are assholes playing an assholes game...

My conjecture is that that stalemate will continue... Does that mean that the 'wars' will continue?... You bet your ass they will... On the surface, it appears that PLAN B may have to do with the North African continent... Stay Tuned...

Anyway... This is why I'm fucking sick and tired about all the flinging around of labels like "anti-semite", "jew hater", "NAZI", "bigot", & shit like that when this topic comes up... If you understand the big picture, you'll get a better perspective on where the HATE is directed...

Oddly enough, it is the jews who spend enormous amounts of time & energy on things like 'Anti defamation' initiatives... I can't ever remember seeing such ADL's (at least in the same scope, size, & fervor), on any other subset of folks... Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

Jews and Crusaders were not allies. Those nasty facts are fouling you up again.

 

In the First Crusade, flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were attacked by Crusaders, yet many were spared due to the efforts of the Papacy (see German Crusade, 1096). In the Second Crusade (1147) the Jews in France suffered especially. Philip Augustus treated them with exceptional severity during the Third Crusade (1188). The Jews were also subjected to attacks by the Shepherds' Crusades of 1251 and 1320.

 

 

The attacks were opposed by the local bishops and widely condemned at the time as a violation of the crusades aim, which was not directed against the Jews.[1] However, the perpetrators mostly escaped legal punishment. Also, the social position of the Jews in western Europe distinctly worsened, and legal restrictions increased during and after the crusades. They prepared the way for anti-Jewish legislation of Pope Innocent III. The crusades resulted in centuries of strong feelings of ill will on both sides and hence constitute a turning point in the relationship between Jews and Christians.

Just think, this all started when governments stuck their nose where it never belonged. 

I think we tried this here in America when the U.S. Government needed to settle the west and also needed to deal with those pesky Indians. They had three problems, Mormons running around looking for the promised land with their many wives pissing every little town off and the injuns parked out west. Bingo! Kill three birds with one stone. Give them a chunk of land in Utah and run the Indians off.

Sorry, but I'm not buying your "deeper" story.  The last thing we should be doing is taking sides in a 100 year war (from the Declaration of Balfour on).  The story your photos try to tell is that the Nazis and Zionists are moral equivilents.  they are not.

Where are the Israeli concentration camps?  Had the Nazis stopped at the Warsaw Ghetto, you'd have a point.  But there is no comparing a ghetto with a death camp.

Where are the photos of German Jews lobbing rockets into Berlin?  Or detonating suicide vests in crowed civilian markets?  Oh, that's right, the Jews in Germany didn't do any of that.  Palestinians cannot compare their bloody resistance, regardless of how justified they believe it is, with the Jewish peaceful resistance to Nazism.

"the Jewish peaceful resistance to Nazism."

Oh really?

"Hitler will have no war (does not want war), but we will force it on him, not this year, but soon." - Emil Ludwig Cohn in Les Annales, June, 1934

"We Jews are going to bring a war on Germany." - David A. Brown, National Chairman, United Jewish Campaign, 1934

"There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we know how to apply it." - Vladimir Jabotinsky, Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27, 1935.

And much much much more:
http://guardian.150m.com/jews/jews-declare-war.htm

NO...you will not see photos of them hurling rockets or strapping on "suicide vest"...they got America to do their fighting for them...as usual.

What they have been doing to Palestinians they have been doing for 60 years. Not "60 years ago" but FOR 60 years.

It's what the Jews DID and were doing years before WWII that was making Germany angry.  Jews were the driving force behind the Bolshevik Revolution.  They were in control of much of the banking which led to Weimar, and they were the key players in introducing moral filth into the culture through the media, arts, etc.  They also publicly declared "Judea declares war on Germany" in American papers, calling for a world-wide boycott of German goods.  And then there were the Jewish communist infiltrators who were wanting to do the same thing they did to Russia.  Jewish led communism was a continent-wide agenda, and eventually set its sights on the entire globe.

If you were a German, wouldn't YOU be pissed if someone was trying to purposefully destroy your economy and national culture?

Let me assure you that the Jews were not poor, innocent victims they portrayed themselves to be.

"Jewish peaceful resistance to Nazism"?  Now I have heard it all!  What lies you tell!

Be careful about any photos that come out of this. Some are probably real, but I have already seen retreads of photos out of Syria that are a month old being depicted as being from Gaza. There are others of miracle cures where a guy is on a streacher gravely injured one moment and walking around unhurt a couple of minutes later. In war there is propaganda from all sides. This one will be no different in that regard.

The name of my blog is culled from  the Crockett Almanacs of the 19th century. I am interested in the links between those Almanacs which were considered to be a product of low culture and the works of revered  writers such as Melville and Poe which were influenced by that supposed lower culture as detailed in the book, Beneath the American Renaissance.

I also appreciate the motto of the original Crockett Almanac: Be sure you're right then GO AHEAD.

Yes, I bet the second claim and that giant washplant absolutely kick ass. Last year I know they shot 3/4 of the gold from their paydirt right out the end of the sluice boxes. Just look at the muddy water they ran in the plant, that clogged up the ripples and shot all the gold out the end. These guys are royal fucking idiots. I wouldn't let them near any mining site.

Hey, betcha next season of they're all rolling in the shiny, it'll wind up that their equipment financing note was bought by Goldman whose gonna close on the whole fucking claim right out from underneath them whereupon Jack sneaks into Water Street and short circuits all the telecoms for a week during which time Goldilocks goes under from missing adverse margin calls....

Then he'll get elected as a Senator.

Booyah!

Yeah, I loved Old Jack digging random holes. I thought WTF is that old buzzard doing. When I found out he was a junky, it all made sense. Though would you believe it, that old clown actually hit it in the Glory Hole, if the claim hadn't been bought out from under them, they were on good gold. Though Todd would have found a way to Fuck It Up.

Guys like Todd, when I was in boot camp, a guy like that would have gotten a blanket party. The other guys in the middle of the night hold him down with a blanket in his rack and everyone takes a punch. Cruel shit, but it was a cruel world. Either shape up or get the shit kicked out of you. I wonder if they still do that in the Armed Forces?

There's only one workable solution to middle east violence.

 

Chinese peacekeepers.

 

Think about it. Nobody really wants to mess with China. They could easily put 10 men on each street corner in Gaza, and if anyone gets out of line, they could beat them all up with sticks.

 

Nobody could claim that they were taking one side or the other because of religious beliefs, if you made sure they were all Buddhists from the eastern parts of China.

 

Eventually, however, the sheer quantities of pork-fried rice would present themselves as an abomination, and both Palestinians and Jews would join forces to expell the foreign "invaders". Their cooperation will result in an alliance and peace lasting thousands of years.

 

Follow up on it then.

The solution to the Middle East problem is for Russia to sell 200+ nuclear armed missiles to Iran.

That way Israel would have to change its behavior.

Why do you immediately assume anyone against an unprovoked war is anti-semite? The state of Israel has always been fascist, I'm not religious, but I have Jewish family all over the world, none live in Israel;  they refuse to live there because Zionism has nothing to do with a Jewish homeland. It is simply a way for the Anglo-American empire to wield power in the region. The Palestinians have lived a life worse than blacks under apartheid. Of course the Arab people hate Israel, wouldn't you?

I've spent more time than I now wish I had learning Middle East history.  I'm Catholic and don't have a dog in this fight, but my God the ME makes Northern Ireland look like paradise in comparison.

The British and the Balfour Declaration escalated ethnic dispute at the turn of the 20th Century and, unfortunately, the region's fate was thereafter decided by the victors of WW1 and WW2.  Unfortunately for the Palestinians, they backed the wrong dog in those wars but refuse to accept the consequences, even though those consequences were far less painful than experienced by most losers in the history of this world. 

The consequence in most previous wars was that the victors killed all of the losers' men, raped and made their own all of the losers' women, and salted the losers' fields.  The Palestinians were left to live in a nation that quickly became the only democracy in the Middle East and that, as a result of the industry of its people and the protection of the U.S., also generated the highest per capita income in the entire region.  Just think where the Palestinians would be today if they accepted their loss and worked hard to integrate into Israeli society.  Even if they lived as second class citizens their entire life, they would be far better off than they are today.

Instead, Palestinians proceeded to make their own bed with increasing levels of violence. WTF did they expect to receive in return?  Flowers?  I don't blame today's Palestinians for the sins of their fathers and mothers, but I also can't blame Israel from responding to violence with violence.  As some point it has to stop or it will go on until one or both societies are destroyed.  Given the balance of power in the region, I don't think Palestinians can rationally expect that the survivor will be them.

still killing, still raping, but instead of salt, they use depleted uranium, making doubleplus sure that no next generation is possible.

of course, what few realise, the salt in the fields was specific, whereas the DU takes no sides, and lives INside, both the target, and the one who peers through the scope, and any future children either "side" hopes for. . .

What made Israel a great nation was the worldwide travel and learning of the Jews with no homeland, the Diaspora. They educated themselves in all arts and sciences, and became wealthy, while maintaining their own cultural, and counter cultural identity.

 

Had they just stayed put in the middle east, they would be today as insignificant as the Lebanese, Syrians, or Palestinians.

Samuel warned the Israelites against setting up an Earthly kingdom in place of God's kingdom. They didn't listen then and they are not listening now. Neither are many Christians.

 

 

 

1 Samuel 8 (New International Version)

 

Israel Asks for a King


When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders.[a] The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.


So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nations have.”


But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”


10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”


19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”


21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”


Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”

We must all be very pissed off at something, to bring us to say these things.  We must all be very frightened of something, to bring us to want to hurt others physically and emotionally.

It looks to me as though their propaganda has been very successful, they have diverted our focus away from what really matters.

Shit, why don't you all just hug your wife and kids, your mom and dad, your brothers and sister and hope and plan like hell that we are able to survive the troubled times ahead.  That would be a much better use of your energy right now, instead of the effort and vitriol demonstrated here.

These people are living in conditions that are the same as the Warsaw Ghettos and given no reason to live.  They are not a different human race, they are humans like the rest of us.  Now, ask yourself, how bad would life have to be for you to put on a suicide vest?  How much hope do you think the average Palestinian has of living a decent life.  I believe Haitians  would at least have more hope, despite the deprivation in their country.

We never see what Israel inflicts upon Gaza and the West Bank.   They easily make sure to kill or main 500 for every Jewish fingernail damaged.  In fact, that's a direct quote I heard from an Israeli - - '" The life of a Palestinian isn't equal to a fingernail of an Israeli."

Just wait, if the Palestinian problem is ever solved, guess what Israel will enter into next.  That's right - CIVIL WAR!!!

The guys who walk to temple, have nice curls and hats, and live on the government tit are wearing thin with the Israeli eating a pork sandwich while driving to work on Saturday. 

Have you ever had a long chat with an Israeli?  Why do they like to talk 4 inches from your face?  Why is everything an argument?  Why do they always have to win?  Strange group. 

I know, they're all stereotypes, but I'm Irish and will admit a hell of a lot of the stereotypes have some merit, and every diner within which I have ever dined in NY is owned by a Greek family.  Stereotypes are simply effective ways of helping us parse society.

By its very nature, the Palestinian 'problem' can never be solved, as Apartheid Israel's founding documents call for it to colonize "From the River to the Sea."  If the Zionist project isn't stealing land, it is dying.  Therein lies the problem--Nasrallah called the Zionist Occupying Forces "an army without soldiers" when Hizbollah was kicking the shit out of them in 2006, and that hasn't changed.

The only people in the region Apartheid Israel can beat up are the Palestinians, with their incompetant House Negro leadership (i.e., Hamas).

So they do.

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, 
Greenest state in the land of the free. 
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree, 
Killed him a bear when he was only three. 
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier. 

He fought single handed through the Injun war, 
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored. 
And while he was handling this risky chore, 
Made himself a legend, forevermore. 
Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear. 

When he lost his love, and his grief was gall, 
In his heart he wanted to leave it all, 
And lose himself in the forest tall, 
But he answered instead, his country's call. 
Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier 

He went off to Congress and served a spell 
Fixin' up the government and laws as well. 
Took over Washington, so we hear tell, 
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. 
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear. (Serving his country well) 

When he come home, his politickin' done, 
The western march had just begun. 
So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun 
And lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun. 
Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneers. 

His land is biggest, and his land is best 
From grassy plains to the mountain crest 
He's ahead of us all in meeting the test 
Followin' his legend right into the West 
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wide Frontier 
King of the Wild Frontier.

Clint Eastwood. "I Talk To the Trees"

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn8YubD01sk

 

 

I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me

The breeze hasn't time
To stop, and hear what I say
I talk to them all
In vain

But suddenly, my words
Reach someone elses ear
At someone elses heart
Strings too

I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them
Come true

I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin' farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm

Then I'll tell you
How I pass the day
Thinking mainly how
The night would be

Then I'll try to find
The words to say
All the things you
Mean to me

I tell you my dreams
And while you're
Listening to me
I suddenly see them
Come true

Because the Israelis blockade, shoot or bomb Palestinians everyday.

I think it is the reverse:  The American Mainstream Media Outlets ignore intelligent life.  For balanced perspective on this, one cannot read or watch American TV/Radio/Newspapers.  In them, Israel has never, ever been wrong.  It's the same reason the US has vetoed votes unanimously passed against Israel in the UN - we've done that more than 45 times.

The BBC gives a more balanced accounting and, believe it or not, I'd trust the reporting of Al Jazeera over the MSM.  No, Al Jazeera isn't part of the evil empire, a mouthpiece of al Queda or anything of the sort.  They exercise more freedom of the press than almost any American media outlet.

I try to stay balanced in opinion, but after getting to know a UN Peacekeeper who left the Middle East because he said he couldn't spend another minute watching Israelis degrade Palestinians to the extent they do.  He said it was horrific and a daily issue for almost all Palestinians. 

THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT (NOT NECESSARILY ITS PEOPLE) ARE FORCING THE PALESTINIANS TO LIVE IN THE SAME CONDITIONS AS A WARSAW GHETTO.  PRISON CAMPS WHERE PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN BORN, LIVED THEIR WHOLE LIVES, AND DIED ARE THE NORM.  AND, WE ARE TOLD ISRAEL IS OUR ONLY FRIEND IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

WHAT, EXACTLY, DO THEY DO FOR US?  THAT HEADS UP ON THE TWIN TOWERST WAS GREAT.  OH NO, THAT'S RIGHT, THEY DIDN'T PASS THAT ON.

sorry for the all caps - I hope they got my feelings across.

Doesn't matter if he visited and saw the true conditions, he would deny it to himself. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing would convince these people that what they believe to be true is not.

See... what you said is a lot closer to the main argument than all this other bullshit... Most of the pro-Israel crowd here mainly just think that the Palestinians are some kind of sub-human species... Frankly ~ I can't answer for the Palestinians... I've been lucky enough to travel around the world, been introduced to many cultures, and actually lived abroad for more than a dozen years... All I can say is this... EVERYBODY is as full of shit as everybody else, & everybody, when pressed, has good qualities as well...

Who knows?... Left on their own, maybe the Palestinians wouldn't produce bullsquat... But that doesn't give Israel the right to impose its will upon them...

There are a lot of shitholes in America as well...

- Detroit

- Appalacia

- Trailer Trash

- District 9

- South Bronx

- South Central LA

You don't make a BETTER WORLD by trying to force people who you don't like off their land... or eradicating them... That only serves to make YOU the very beast that you are afraid of...

You can see pictures of Gaza (though not street view) on google maps. It's small, but it doesn't look physically overcrowded or very run down. It's no Warsaw Ghetto. Being born, living and dying in one place remains the norm in many parts in the world. 

The BBC, Al Jazeera, RT etc, all have their own biases (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera#Editorial_independence , we've seen BBC attempts to goad 'evil speculators' like Jim Rogers). They're different the the mainstream medias', but they're biases none the less.

If Israel invades Gaza, suffers some casualties, kills the rocket makers and launchers, then abruptly retreats, one might conclude that their military is unsuitable for any ventures into Iran, thereby supporting the call for American and european troops to do exactly that.

Ships have anti missile defences, why not Israel?  The area we are talking about is not that big.

They do. I think it's called iron dome. They have a radar that can track low small projectiles, and blast them with a heavy spray of bullets.

 

Maybe this is hezbollah's way of testing their defenses, before they start a more serious attack.

 

I hear that the army just tested a laser to do the same thing. Only 10kilowatts, but plans are for one 10 times more powerful.

 

I think it's called the HEL-MD.

So the Isreali defence shield called Iron Dome, which is supposed to protect the innocent from missiles, it doesn't work?  Is it switched on, has it been tested?  So much defence spending and missiles with WWII technology can beat it?  Something doesn't smell right.

Ooooo Weeeeee !

Got us a whole bunch of Jew hatin going on.

Throughout my life, I have always found that when you burrow down on a Jew hater, invariably the truth comes out and the Palestinian issue is just a skirt behind which one hides. Their concerns about poor little Haji are BS through and through.

Try getting them drunk and talking about it. That is when you will learn the truth. It ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS comes back to Jew money and how they seem to be in power positions, operate closely with their Jew friends and keep the goyum at arms length.

In my personal experience, the true reasoning for their Jew hatred is that they were out foxed, out negotiated or otherwise bested by a Jew, OR, it comes down to simple jealousy of their prowess and success in so many areas. Science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, software, pharmaceuticals, yada, yada, yada.

Do any Jew haters you know ALSO whine about the plight of any other people, particularly those in their own country? Do they carry on in a similar, angry manner about about other displaced groups or downtrodden minorities? Probably not.

I have seen many Jew hatin American's that could give two shits about the Native Americans or other minorities in their own cities and States, but express visceral hatred for Jews for defending them selves against the insanity of the Haji Club.

Most Jew haters I have ever met have been liberals, which does not surprise me one bit.

Face it. Jews are blessed people.

Make friends with one.

Your life will also be blessed.

You're full of it moron -too many Jews steal from people by using their far superior position of wealth, power and influence to defraud others. Their talmudic culture encourages and promotes this.
