Israel Wishes It Was Election Day Every Day
So that it uses the fact that news is busy with something else to carry out more massacres against Palestinian civilians.
Indiscriminate Israeli criminal army shelling of Beit Hanoun in Gaza this morning left 18 dead, and more that 40 injured. And the number of deaths is still climbing, with most casualties being women and children murdered in their sleep.
The Israeli army also launched an overnight invasion of Yamoun, near Jenin, that left five men dead.
In the past week, and like many had anticipated, Israel used the cover of the elections and the preoccupation of US media with campaigns to launch an invasion of the Gaza Strip. The attack included indiscriminate home demolitions, shelling of residential neighborhoods, and the death of 64 Palestinians, including women who were shot while protesting peacefully, in addition to hundreds of injuries.
Since Israel’s so-called withdrawal from Gaza in August 2005, Israel has murdered more than 716 Gazans.
Israel will likely come out to claim that this was a stray shell that landed at some residential building by mistake, or blame it on Palestinian fire, like it did with the massacre it committed against a whole family on the Gaza beach over the summer. But the timing and manner of this attack, and its consistency with Israel’s regular practices against Palestinians, leave little doubt that it is and act of revenge and punishment intended to inflict maximum misery on Palestinians so that they even consider fleeing their homeland, once again.
