Gazans Starving as President Bush Pardons Two Turkeys
from: William Hughes
On Nov. 26, 2008, activists rallied in front of the White House, at 8 AM, to spotlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Israeli-Occupied Gaza. President George Bush plans this morning to pardon two turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving Day. Meanwhile, the desperate people of Gaza are trapped in borders “sealed” shut by the Israeli Occupation Army. According to the sponsoring group’s press release: “As a result of Israel’s closure, the UN has been forced to stop food distribution to 750,000 needy people, and 70 percent of Gaza is without power.” Over 1.5 million people live in Gaza, many of them displaced refugees from the 1948 War. “Half of Gaza’s population is under the age of 15.” Under the terms of the Geneva Convention, and other key provisions of International Law, the Collective Punishment of a people is “a War Crime.” The press release from the “Coalition for Justice and Accountability,” underscores the “contrast in American policy between fowl livestock and starving children.” The U.S. taxpayers continue to subsidize Zionist Israel, and its occupation of the Palestinian people, to the tune of billions of dollars every year.
