60% of Palestinian children anemic

Geneva, Switzerland (AHN) - Children are the worst affected by the Israeli attacks on Palestine, with 60 percent of them being anemic.


These facts were revealed during the annual meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva, the main decision-making body of the World Health Organizations. Arab health ministers have sent an urgent letter to the WHO requesting that a fact-finding team investigate the appalling health conditions in the occupied territories.

Unfortunately, "studies" are not going to change Israel's behavior, and how it affects Palestinian kids.

The world knows what is going on, but does absolutely nothing, because governmental leaders are terrified of being branded as "anti-Semitic" if they do start to tell the truth about what Israel has done - and continues to do - to the Palestinians in the name of Israeli security.
 
It's specious to suggest that the Israeli's are responsible. Convenient perhaps, but specious.
 
Israel is directly responsible for it and has participated in nothing less than the deliberate ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The Israeli government understood precisely that this would be one of the outcomes of their siege of Gaza.
 
When Israeli soldiers deliberately slaughter women and kids, it's called a "mistake", "collateral damage", or it simply gets ignored by "western" media. When Palestos do the same, it's called terrorism.

"Suggesting" that Israel is an apartheid state that constantly subjects Palesto civilians to atrocities, if anything, is factual, but inconvenient to say, otherwise you'd be cheering for the terrorists.

But Israel is not alone to blame. Firstly and foremostly, it's the Palestinians who are enemies of themselves. The two main parties, Fatah and Hamas, slaughter each other on daily basis, and are too busy scoring political points against each other rather than giving a blue fuck about their people.

Furthermore, what's currently happening in Palestine benefits regimes such as the Saudi one. They'd rather keep it heated in Iraq and Palestine because if the crises are settled there, Saudis will be in big trouble, with the rise of Wahhabism, threatening Saud's monarchy. Same can be said about Egypt vis-a-vis The Muslim Brotherhood.

What is happening to the Palestinians is a cross of benefits between a lot of conflicting regional and international players. While Israel is not alone to blame, yet it is to blame firstly and foremostly for the besieging of Palestine.

Maybe that's our translation of their reality. Jews in Israel have developed a siege mentality, but the civilians want peace. Too bad it's in an area where nationalist death oaths are taken out against you by neighbors simply because of which Allah you believe in.
 
But I fully agree with you about the brutality. It works both ways. But don't fool yourself into believing that it's just Jews v Palestinians. They all hate each other.
 
I think we can take it a step further. If I were an Israeli General getting billions of $$$s and the finest military equipment in the world for free, there's no way I'd want peace.

This is incorrect. The vitriol and suicide terrorism stems predominantly from Israel's inhuman treatment of Palestinians, which is downright genocidal in instances, and belligerent attitude towards its immediate neighbors. It's possible to cite extreme examples, such as those in which the instigator wants simply to not have any non-Muslims in the region, but these are, in reality, few and far between in the face of threats and acts of desperation. This reality never touched upon, leading so many to believe it's a religious conflict when its nothing of the sort.
 
Sorry Dual that isn't my argument either. I understand what's going on over there. The idea that if the Jews v Palestinians issue were somehow resolved (going on 6000 years now and counting) peace would reign is either naiive or just ignorant.

Twas ever thus, and my point is they all hate each other. This issue is convenient for us to latch on to so it's become J v P.

How do you figure it's "free"?

Because no payment is requested in return. Israel gets about 3 billion dollars in foreign aid annually (not counting cancelled loans), paid for by American taxpayers. Like some African despot transforming food aid into arms for his private militia, Israel invests it in its military-industrial complex and its economy. Israel gets the bonus of a blank check to spy on the United States due to the massive PR campaign, and can then sell the technology it procures to the Chinese (which it has done before).

How else does a nation so tiny have a military in the top 10 of the entire planet in terms of quality, effectiveness, and destructive power? If Israel wanted to (and this has been expressed by Israel as a worst case scenario, at least by fringe elements within the government) it could destroy every major European capital as part of its 'Samson Option,' along with much of the Middle East, should it face the possibility of being overrun.

France had the same deal during the Cold War. It wasn't in the interest of the Soviet Union to advance into Europe militarily, as it would lose far more in the process that it would gain. France, at least, was off-limits. No one is going to mess with Israel militarily for the same reason, and its bunker mentality along with the perception of being a helpless victim allows for greater reprisal on their part.

A group of criminals, Jewish and gentile, have hijacked foreign policy into supporting their profiteering and the profiteering of criminals at the highest echelons of Israel's power structure. Any real attempt at exposing this is met with accusations of anti-Semitism, tarnishing the memory of those Jews unfortunate enough to have been killed in pogroms brought on by actual anti-Semitism.

Peace is against the interests of those who sheer the American populace into paying for Israel's unnecessary military might. An Israeli general has a very cushy position, and if I were one, there's no way I'd let any notions of real peace be discussed at the table.

All this, while bridges in the US collapse and American veterans have to eat of out dumpsters.
 
You should have italicized "fringe elements of the government"

I'm not sure you really understand what's going on over there, if you believe this. Some of my extended family lives there, and I had an emplyer for a couple of years that commutes to and from there.

They spin it a little differently than you.

I wouldn't suggest the Israeli government is innocent, what "government" is? But to suggest that they all would "get along" or could even work things out at all if we minded our own business is a bit naive.
 
And I have to be honest in my opinion that Israel's military might is the only stability that region has.
 
Who's funding/training/soliciting the suicide bombers again? And the daily rocket fusillades into the area? I must have missed that in your post. The idea that the "palestinians" aren't utter pawns of the arabs (just as the israeli's are utter pawns of the U S) is silly. It's an oil chess match, about to come to mate in the next three or four years.

I don't believe the Israelis are blameless in this, or that they aren't cruel or savagely heartless in their revenge tactics either. They just aren't solely responsible for what's happening as you suggest.
