Stop it now!
by Greta Berlin Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009 at 4:57 AM

We've been telling Americans that Gaza is starving and dying for years now. These photos do not help our cause. Please remove them.
We have also been telling people that tghe white colonial oppressors (Israel) are attacking the dark people of Gaza- but the gazans look white in many of these photos. That will not do. PLease remove them as soon as possible

I sure love the photos that show lots and lots of food when there is no evidence that this was even taken recently in Gaza.
Pet 'ababic' websites that confirm the Israeli ministry of public affairs and how well the population is doing after Operation Cast Lead that I'm sure will be accepted as current, if you don't understand that lying about the prisoner populations that still lay under siege is required to maintain the 'moral high ground' for this pirate state.

war being peace
by peace being war Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009 at 7:29 AM

Let me get this straight- websites in Arabic are from Israel. So are websites in Hebrew from Arabia?

Palestinians that go crazy and kill Americans are Israeli. So are ISraelis that go crazy Palestinian?

This must be what orwell said about war being peace.

Or maybe waht the looney tune is saying is that there is no Palestine and its all really Israel, there fore all that comes out of this region is just Israeli?

Is the looney tune denying the existence of the Palestininian people? Its possible. Others have as well.

The shops in the photos above look a little like the cantinas that NAZIs built in concentration camps. Accept that the cantinas NAZIs built were more substantial than a few fold up tables covered by a tent.

What? You didn't know there were actual stores in the concentration camps that the prisoners could buy food and clothing??? Or that the prisoners who worked in the camps were paid in military script that they could spend as they chose? Or that the cantinas such an important part of prisoner life that opporations of the stores were continued by allies after the camps were liberated, but before the prisoners were let out?

Well, someone must have had a reason not to tell you the actual history of the concentration camps.

And I guess that you also don't know that NAZIs also liked to show off photos of prisoners shopping at the cantinas in their propaganda to show how normal life was in the camps.

Even UNICEF agrees
by no starvation in palestine Sunday, Jan. 10, 2010 at 11:50 AM


Palestinian Children fare better than their Arab neighbors
In spite of some squeals about "starving Palestinian children", a new UNICEF report shows that Palestinian children fair much better than their Arab neighbors. Children in the disputed territories suffer less from stunted growth due to maternal and childhood undernutrition than others in the region.

Qatar 8%
Palestinian Territories- 10%
Lebanon - 11
Jordan - 12
Oman - 13
UAE - 17
Saudi Arabia - 20
Kuwait - 24
Iraq - 26
Syria - 28
Egypt - 29
Yemen – 58

An estimated 200 million children aged under five in the developing world suffer from stunted growth due to maternal and childhood malnutrition, according to the report.
Yet groups remain silent on the plight of the children of Yemen and Egypt and throughout the Arab world. Its as though only the Palestinian children counted to them. Opps. Only the palestinian children do count. Am I right?

With approximately 10% of Palestininian children experiencing stunting between 2003-2008, the disputed territories are on equal footing with Turkey, Tuvalu and Bahrain, which at last glance, did not suffer from Israel's "brutal and genocidal" occupation.

only 10%
by These are Your Prisoners Sunday, Jan. 10, 2010 at 1:27 PM

so you are responsible for this 'mere' 10% reported rate of childhood starvation when you close off their fishing, trade and destroy their infrastructure in wanton operations of state terrorism...
go going, 'Is Real'....

The ten percent rate is lower than Egypt, lower than Lebanon, lower than Jordan- in context, it means the Palestinian children are the second healthiest in the Muslim Middle east, according to UNICEF

"no starvation"
by Is Real lies Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010 at 6:50 AM

the UNICF report was before the rampages of Israeli terror during Operation Cast Lead and now they tell us that even *before the last slaughter, the starvation rate of 10% is "no starvation" at all.
Double speak, ignorance or stupidity; you decide.

this is what I always see...weasel wording avoidance and, of course the usual tide of lies.

the report was from 2003 -2008 and not after the horrific war crimes of Operation Cast Lead.
You make me sick.

I love this sh*t
by Yada, Yada, Yada Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 at 4:51 PM

of course we *must believe the reports of 900% ++ since this latest epic of wanton war crimes from the Israeli ministry of wonderfulness.
They would *never lie to us in order to keep their 10 billion/year subsidy to control the horror or Muslim culture and all that awful oil they live over.
I'm glad you think we're so stupid.
