Israels Gift of Slow Death In Gaza

Israel’s Gift of Slow Death in Gaza

Israel’s government says that Rachel Corrie’s
2003 death in Gaza, was not the fault of the 
military whose army bulldozer rolled over her, 
stating that it was “an accident she brought 
upon herself” & so, was the Palestinian family 
who had been living in the home which young 
Rachel was standing in front of, put there by 
accident? 

have the Palestinian people who live in Gaza
been doing so by accident?  

the UN declares this week that by 2020,
Gaza (just a bit larger than twice 
the size of Washington, DC) will be 
unlivable due to the Israeli/US military 
blockade & occupation (um, so where will
the people go?) which continues to
starve its people of safe drinking water, 
sufficient electricity, good schools/education, 
hospitals & decent homes (UM, SO WHERE
WILL THE PEOPLE GO?), to name a few, 
with 80% of its people relying on foreign aid 
for basic necessities, finding employment 
largely in the underground market UMMMM
MMMM SOOOOOO WHERRRRREE WILL
LLL THHHEEE PPPPEEOOPPLEE GOOOO
OOO?!!!!!!) & Israel turns a blind eye, Israel
pretends that this starvation & strangulation 
is not illegal & OUR TAXES PAY FOR IT,
yes, our taxes in the belly of the declining 
beast ARE PAYING FOR THE 
SLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWW
BUUUUUURRRNNNINNNG 
GENOCIDE
of the Palestinian people---
it’s not apartheid, it’s not negotiation, it’s not
treaties or an accord or a ceasefire of any kind,
it’s OUR TAXES PAYING FOR THE 
SLOW GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN
PEOPLE (& if you try to stop it you end up
dead like Rachel).

A VOTE FOR OBAMA = SLOW GENOCIDE
OF PALESTINE.

A VOTE FOR ROMNEY = SLOW GENOCIDE
OF PALESTINE.
