The Power of Israel In The United State

INTRODUCTION

On January 25, 2006 the Palestinian people voted overwhelmingly in

favor of Hamas in the cleanest election to take place in any Arab Middle Eastern

country. The Israeli government immediately refused to recognize the

democratic outcome. It refused to turn over Palestinian tax revenues, deliberately

blocked all trading outlets to drastically reduce what was already Palestinian

subsistence living, and began an intense and prolonged series of violent assaults on

Palestinian cities and villages, killing and maiming hundreds.

In the two and a half weeks prior to the Palestinian suicide attack of

April 17, 2006 that killed nine Israelis, Israeli forces had already killed 26

Palestinians, including five children, and injured 161 men, women and children. In

fact, according to the internationally respected human rights group, the

Palestinian Center for Human Rights, between April 6-12, 2006 alone, Israelis

killed 19 Palestinians including three children. Ten of these were "extrajudicial

executions," and 94 Palestinians, including 32 children, were wounded. The

Israeli Occupation Forces conducted 27 incursions into Palestinian

communities in the West Bank and 70 Palestinian civilians, including six

children, were arrested. Israeli settlers attacked several farming communities,

stealing livestock and destroying property. During that period overall, the

Israeli military carried out 369 raids into the West Bank.

Similarly, according to UN reports, between March 30-April 12, Israeli

forces launched 2300 artillery and tank shells and 34 missiles into Gaza.

Defense for Children International reports that 4,000 Palestinian children have

been arrested in the past five years (2001 -2006) 400 of whom are

currently still in prison. Then on April 19,

2006, after the Palestinian retaliation,

Israelis seized the mothers and wives of

men on their 'wanted' lists and held

them hostage in detention centers to

force the men to surrender. Mosques were broken into and scores of families

were forced out of their houses while Israeli soldiers ransacked their homes.

None of these violent Israeli killing expeditions were reported in the

electronic or print mass media, by National Public Radio or in any of the

Jewish Lobby propaganda sheets like the Daily Alert. Not a single US or EU

leader stated a word of criticism of the preceding Israeli state terror. Only

when a Palestinian group took credit for the suicide bombing and Hamas

defended the right to reprisal did the entire Washington political elite and

mass media denounce terrorism.
