Palestine: Documentary 'Tears Of Gaza'

1. This is a gut-wrenching full length promotional documentary (83mins) of the 2008-2009 bombing of Gaza by the Israeli military, three years ago to the day. It uses actual footage from local Palestinian crews of the bombs falling, the terror of the Palestinians targeted and the ensuing chaos of getting the wounded to overcrowded hospitals and overworked medical staff while Israel continued its relentless attack without mercy.
   .
   Stories are told through shell-shocked children who have lost parents and other family members and who have been horribly maimed, physically and psychologically. This is not something that anyone should turn away from in squeamishness because it is very real and continues to happen to Palestinians who resist Israel’s inhuman oppression of their daily lives.
   .
2. We just don’t hear about it in the mainstream media. If you can absorb the grotesque acts of inhumanity in Holocaust museums and talk about them afterwards and say “never again”, then you have an obligation to see what is actually happening today to people struggling to survive under Israel’s ruthless military domination and occupation.

ISRAEL : In Israel They Shackle Palestinian Children

Perhaps the most shocking of all things in Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is the way that children are treated. It is unimaginable that an Jewish Israeli child would be brought to court in shackles or even be placed in a court of law.
Beatings and abuse of children by the Israeli military is common and judges, such as the one below, don’t even blink an eye. Thus is legal racism established.
Below this is a paper circulated by Dr Derek Summerfield from Defence for Children International – Palestine Section, on the shooting of children working near the northern border of Gaza.
