US Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution Supporting Israeli Assault on Gaza

Friday July 18, 2014 23:19 by Chris Carlson - 1 of International Middle East Media Center Editorial Group

Following a similar resolution passed last week by the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate voted Thursday night to support Israel’s ongoing invasion of the Gaza Strip.

No dissenting vote was cast, and no mention was made of the hundreds of Palestinian civilians, most of whom are women and children, that have been killed by Israel in the past ten days.

Senate Resolution 498 was authored by Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), with additional support by Ben Cardin (D-MD) and son of former Republican party politician Ron Paul, Rand Paul (R-KY).

Paul is urging the Senate to pass his own bill, S. 2265, which would end all U.S. foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority until Hamas is barred from the new Palestinian unity government, among other stipulations.

The resolution was passed on the very same night Israel launched its current ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.

The United States and Israel, this past week, signed an agreement under which $429 million of American taxpayers’ money "will be transferred immediately to Israel" to further fund the Iron Dome missile system, which has recently come under scrutiny by prize winning Israeli defense and aerospace engineering expert Dr. Moti Shefer.

Bowing to AIPAC, Senate unanimously passes resolution supporting Israel

Philip Weiss on July 18, 2014

The Senate yesterday unanimously passed a resolution backed by the Israel lobby group AIPAC expressing support for Israel’s attack on Gaza and saying not a word about Palestinian deaths.

The Hill says that the resolution passed “through a unanimous consent agreement.”

“The United States Senate is in Israel’s camp,” [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham said on the Senate floor Thursday.

The resolution describes Palestinian attacks on Israel as “unprovoked” and says not a word about Palestinian deaths, but speaks of the survival of Israel in urging the dissolution of the unified Palestinian government:

Reaffirms the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend its citizens and ensure the survival of the State of Israel…

Calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to dissolve the unity governing arrangement with Hamas and condemn the attacks on Israel.

NJ Senator Cory Booker blamed Hamas for the violence:

“I strongly condemn the heinous attacks being perpetrated by Hamas and other terrorist groups against Israel. No country should have to live under a constant threat of aggression against its people, and I stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel as it defends itself against this shocking violence. My heart goes out to the citizens of Israel and the countless civilians in Gaza caught in this Hamas-initiated violence.”

MJ Rosenberg says it’s all about pro-Israel money, and that Senators have a double standard for US military actions and Israeli ones:

Note that even progressive saints Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken, Sherrod Brown, and Bernie Sanders found nothing in this to object to. For the record, no U.S. military adventure has had the support of all hundred senators in decades. But, hey, this is Israel. And, more important, this is AIPAC. And cash. 

Here’s more about the money from the Israel lobby. The Nation is reporting that the “anti-Iran lobby machine dominates Capitol Hill.” Reporter Eli Clifton is frank about “The Money Behind the Lobby”:

Sheldon Adelson Chairman and CEO, Las Vegas Sands Corporation Estimated worth: $36.8 billion Iran-related contributions: Over $1.5 million to the FDD [Foundation for the Defense of Democracies] between 2008 and 2011; at least $1.04 million to AIPAC since 2007

• In October 2013, Adelson—who along with his wife, Miriam, was the GOP’s biggest donor during the 2012 presidential campaign—said the United States should drop a nuclear bomb in the Iranian desert to persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear program.

Paul Singer Founder, Elliot Management hedge fund Estimated worth: $1.5 billion. Iran-related contributions: $3.6 million to the FDD between 2008 and 2011; $1.5 million to AIPAC between 2010 and 2011

• Singer was listed as the American Enterprise Institute’s second-largest donor in 2009, giving $2.31 million to the organization between 2009 and 2011. He was also a major fundraiser for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Bernard Marcus Co-founder, Home Depot Estimated worth: $3.6 billion Iran-related contributions: $10.7 million to the FDD between 2008 and 2011, making him its biggest donor in that period; $2.1 million to the FDD in 2012; $650,000 to the AEI between 2007 and 2012; $2.45 million to AIPAC between 2007 and 2012

• In the 2012 presidential campaign, Marcus contributed $60,000 to the Republican National Committee and $20,000 to a Mitt Romney Super PAC; he also maxed out his personal contributions to the Romney campaign.

The contributions to AIPAC from all three donors were directed to the American Israel Education Foundation, which calls itself “the charitable organization affiliated with AIPAC.”

That last organization, AIEF, is what sent Florida Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor to Israel. And Castor refused to say anything publicly on behalf of her Palestinian-American constituent Tarek Abu Khdeir, who was brutally beaten by Israeli police.

Let’s be clear about this. Democrats are getting support from an organization backed by Republican high-roller Sheldon Adelson, who called on Obama to nuke Iran. Support for Israel transcends American politics. It has not been politicized. Even Rand Paul supported the Gaza resolution yesterday.

26 Gazans killed by Israel since sunset, bringing Friday total to 63

Maan, 18/07/2014, 23:48

 GAZA CITY (Ma'an) --

Twenty-six Palestinians including eight members of a single family were killed by invading Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip on Friday evening, while the death of a young man wounded earlier in the week brought the total number of deaths in Israel's 11-day long assault to 298 and more than 2,200 injured.

The deaths bring the total killed since the beginning of the ground invasion late Thursday night to 63, as deaths and injuries across the besieged coastal enclave soared on the first day of the assault in both the northern and southern regions of the territory.

Of the 63 killed since the beginning of the Israeli invasion, 26 died after Gazans broke their fast at sunset on Friday evening as Israeli air strikes pounded the Strip.

Eight members of the Abu Jrad family including four children were killed when a missile struck their home in Beit Hanoun including Naim Musa Abu Jrad, 23, Abd Musa Abu Jrad, 30, Siham Musa Abu Jrad, 26, Rija Aliyan Abu Jrad, and four children: Haniyah Abd al-Rahman Abu Jrad, Samih Naim Abu Jrad, Musa Abd al-Rahman Abu Jrad, 6 months, and Ahlam Musa Abu Jrad.

Four members of the Shaath family were killed and four were injured including one seriously after an air strike on their home in the Hayy al-Manara neighborhood of Khan Younis around 10:30 p.m.

Three members of the Abu Sneineh family were also killed in a strike on their home in eastern Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and three others were injured. The dead were named by Gaza medical authorities as: Faysal Abu Sneineh, 32, Emad Faysal Abu Sneineh, 18, and Nizar Fayez Aub Sneineh, 38.

Muhammad Talal al-Saneh, 20, died around 10:30 p.m. as a result of an Israeli attack, Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said.

Ismail Ramadan Salmi, 23, was brought dead to the Gaza European Hospital, while Ghassan Salem Abu Musa Abu Azzab, 28, and his brother Muhammad Salam Abu Musa Abu Azzab, 19, from Hayy al-Manara in Khan Younis also died as a result of an Israeli attack.

Muhammad Saad Mahmoud Abu Saadeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike in eastern Khan Younis on Friday evening.

Hamza Mohammad Abu Hussein, 27, was killed in an airstrike on eastern Rafah on Friday evening, while Mohammad Abu Sa'da was killed in an artillery shelling eastern Khan Younis.

Imad and Qassim Alwan, both children, were killed as a result of artillery shelling in eastern Gaza City.

Rizk Ahmad al-Hayk, 2, perished in air strikes in Shawwa Square in Gaza City, while Sarah Muhammad Bustan, 13, was killed in Hayy al-Tuffah in Gaza City.

Yusif Ibrahim Hasan al-Astal, 23, died of wounds he sustained in Khan Younis a week ago.

The Israeli occupation forces launched "Operation Protective Edge" 11 days ago (in response to the disappearance and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. Palestinians in Gaza retaliated with launching rockets which did not kill or injure any Israelis).

Hamas has denied any involvement in the killings, and has instead accused Israel of exploiting the deaths to launch an all out assault on the group, one of the few in Palestine that maintains an armed wing capable of attacking Israel.

Israel ground assault overwhelms south Gaza hospital

Ma'an, 18/07/2014 23:43

 KHAN YOUNIS (AFP) --

As Israeli occupation forces pushed into Gaza overnight, intense tank fire shook parts of Khan Younis, sending a flood of patients into the southern city's Nasser hospital.

The shells smashed into buildings near the border with Israel, prompting thousands to flee their homes under the cover of darkness, only missiles lighting up the sky.

At Nasser hospital, doctors and nurses working 24-hour shifts were on alert for the wave of patients who began arriving in the early hours.

"The situation is very, very difficult," said doctor Kamel Zaqzuq.

"This is much, much more difficult than the last war," he said, referring to the previous major conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in November 2012.

"At night, it's one constant emergency."

He said the hospital was running short on some supplies, including medical sutures for stitches.

Many of those who arrived at the hospital on Thursday night and early Friday morning, after the ground operation began, were children, he said.

For some, it was too late -- doctors said 11 people ended up in the facility's morgue.

Two were still there on Friday morning, wrapped in white sheets on the steel shelves of a refrigerator, locked behind a door of rusting iron bars.

Others suffered grave injuries and were being treated in the intensive care unit, including 25-year-old Khadija Abu Hamad.

She was hurt in tank shelling in a neighborhood known simply as Sharqiya, or eastern district.

Shrapnel ripped through most of her body, embedding itself in her brain, breaking her left arm and gouging out her left eye.

The little remaining part of her face not covered in bandages was bruised black and yellow, and metal pins were holding her broken arm together.

'We had to amputate'

Next to her was 18-year-old Uday al-Astal, now paralyzed on his right side after shrapnel entered his brain.

And on the other side of the room was a relative of his -- 23-year-old Yusef Astal.

"He came in with a very serious injury to his femoral artery," said doctor Moataz al-Jubur, who is supervising the intensive care ward.

"We had to amputate his leg."

Both were wounded in an Israeli bombing on Wednesday. Four of their relatives were killed -- among them two children, aged four and six.

Across the ward, Jubur was supervising another patient hurt late on Thursday night as the ground incursion began.

Shrapnel tore into his stomach, kidneys and intestines, Jubur said.

"I keep giving him blood transfusions, but he's in very bad shape."

Downstairs, those with less serious injuries waited for treatment, or to hear news of loved ones.

Ibrahim Fayyad, 24, was sitting outside his house on Friday morning when an airstrike hit.

"It happened a few meters away and so I started to run away in fear," he said.

"Even as I was running there was another strike, a plane fired three times, there was a huge explosion, and there was shrapnel flying everywhere."

Two of his cousin's sons were killed: 26-year-old Mohammed Fayyad, and 25-year-old Mahmud Fayyad.

'Not the first time'

Jubur has worked at Nasser hospital for more than five years, and was sanguine when asked about the current conflict.

"This is not the first time I've been in a situation like this," he said.

Israel and Hamas fought a bloody 22-day conflict over New Year 2009, and again in late 2012, both of which had devastating consequences for civilians in Gaza.

The current conflict has depressing echoes of those former rounds of violence.

UN figures indicate that at least a third of the dead are children, and emotions in Gaza are running high.

"The whole world is watching while the Palestinians are being slaughtered," Jubur said, his voice rising.

"They are innocents, people sitting next to their homes, people sitting with their relatives," he added.

"Where should these people go?"

Ten More Palestinians Killed In The Gaza Strip

Saturday July 19, 2014 05:19 by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC News

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported that eight Palestinians, four of them members of one family, have been killed on Saturday, in the pre-dawn hours, when Israeli missiles struck their homes in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. One was killed in northern Gaza, and another was killed in central Gaza.

Medical sources in Gaza said that a Palestinian was killed, on Saturday at dawn, during ongoing Israeli bombardment of Khan Younis. Many have been injured.

The Ministry of Health In Gaza said the slain Palestinian have been identified as:

1. Raed Walid Walfan, 27, Khan Younis.

In an earlier incident, medics and rescue teams rushed to the bombarded homes in Khan Younis, and located the remains of seven Palestinians, while several civilians were also wounded in the airstrikes, which targeted the family homes of the as-Serry, Salhiyya and Nassr families. The remains of the eights Palestinians were found, and identified, later on.

The Ministry said the seven slain Palestinians have been identified as:

2. Yahia Bassam as-Serry, 20, Khan Younis.
3. Mohammad Bassam as-Serry, 17, Khan Younis.
4. Mahmoud Rida Salhiyya, 56, Khan Younis.
5. Mustafa Rida Salhiyya, 21, Khan Younis.
6. Mohammad Mustafa Salhiyya, 22, Khan Younis.
7. Waseem Rida Salhiyya, 15, Khan Younis.
8. Ibrahim Jamal Kamal Nassr, 13, Khan Younis.

Another Palestinian was killed when the army fired missiles into the an-Nada residential Towers, in Beit Hanoun, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
He has been identified as:

9. Ahmad Mahmoud Hasan Aziz, 34, Beit Hanoun.

In addition, a Palestinian was killed in Juhr ed-Deek, in central Gaza, the Ministry of Health said.

He has been identified as:

10. Sa’id Ali Issa, 30, Juhr ed-Deek, Central Gaza.

The ongoing Israeli offensive has led to the death of 310 Palestinians, most of them civilians, including entire families, since the offensive on Gaza started on Tuesday July 8.

Israeli missiles and shells have injured approximately 2,250 Palestinians, including 640 children, 400 women, and 90 elderly.

Israel Drops Cancer-inducing Bombs on Gazans

Saturday July 19, 2014 02:12 by Chris Carlson - 1 of International Middle East Media Center Editorial Group

A Norwegian doctor working in Gaza has strongly criticized Israel for using cancer-inducing bombs against Palestinian civilians.

According to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency, Dr. Erik Fosse recently stated to Press TV that the majority of patients hospitalized in Gaza are civilians injured in attacks on their homes, and that about thirty percent of these victims are children.

Dense Inert Metal Explosive, known as DIME, is an explosive device developed to minimize damage to things that are incidental to the intended target, known as "collateral damage".

The bombs reportedly effect a relatively small but rather significantly damaging blast radius, and are believed by medical experts to have severe biological effects on those hit with the bomb’s micro-shrapnel.

DIME munitions were developed by the US Air Force, in 2006, and have since been tested repeatedly on the people of Gaza, who, according to the Electronic Intifada, have long served as involuntary lab rats for Israel’s weapons industry.

DIME bombs contain tungsten, a cancer-causing metal which helps to produce blasts which slice through flesh and bone, often completely destroying the lower limbs of people within the blast radius.

See related link: Israel DIME Weapon effect on Gaza-Article and Gallery (Warning -- graphic images.)

The doctor also says that some Palestinians in the besieged enclave have been wounded by a new type of weapon which even doctors with previous experience in war zones do not recognize.

Israel has used banned weapons in the past, including depleted-uranium and white phosphorus, which is nearly impossible to extiguish and leaves its victim hideously burned and scarred, should he or she even survive such an attack.

The ground assault continues in Gaza, today, with nearly 300 reported deaths and over 2,000 wounded in Gaza, to include elderly, disabled and children not even a year old -- all victims of targets which include mostly civilian homes, hospitals and municipal facilities.

Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed with the number of wounded, most of whom remain in corridors and waiting rooms, since the hospitals are full. Kamel Zaqzuq, a doctor at Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, said “The situation is very, very difficult…At night, it's one constant emergency."

Palestinians in the northern part of the Gaza Strip fled by the thousands to try to seek refuge in United Nations schools, while Israeli officials have vowed to ‘flatten’ the towns and villages of northern Gaza, whose residents were all told by Israeli officials to evacuate.

Chris Gunness, a spokesperson of the United Nations, stated, “The number of people coming to UNRWA seeking sanctuary from the fighting in Gaza has nearly doubled today. It has risen from 22,000 to over 40,000”.

In the previous large-scale invasion of Gaza, in 2009, Israeli forces attacked United Nations schools, including using white phosphorus weapons, which cause severe burns and are banned under international law for use in civilian areas.

An Israeli soldier, identified as Eitan Barak, was killed Friday by Palestinian fighters while Israeli troops invaded northern Gaza, according to the Israeli military. Military spokesman Brigadier General Motti told reporters, "We are using a very high level of fire power and artillery," adding, “A great number of soldiers are in action in the Gaza Strip, soldiers are overtaking their targets, tunnels, Hamas targets”.

But eyewitnesses, human rights groups and the United Nations all confirm that the Israeli military is overwhelmingly targeting civilians in its ground invasion, after airstrikes over the previous nine days killed 242 Palestinians and wounded over 1800 – at least 80% of whom are civilians, and the majority of whom are women and children.

More than 30,000 Gazans in UNRWA Shelters Since Thursday

Friday July 18, 2014 22:48 by Chris Carlson - 1 of International Middle East Media Center Editorial Group

UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA said, today, that more than 30,000 people have fled their homes to take shelter in the 34 UNRWA schools that are located across the Gaza Strip, since Thursday.

Previously, UNRWA had estimated that 20,000 Palestinians had sought refuge with them, but that the number has now more than doubled since Israel launched its ground assault on northern and southern Gaza.

Multiple evacuation orders have been issued across the northern Gaza Strip since the conflict began, telling 100,000 Palestinians to leave their homes in compliance with the operation, according to Ma'an.

However, as all borders are closed, Gazans have nowhere to go.

Additionally, Israel has said that all those who remain in their homes will be considered potential targets.

Ma'an further reports that, prior to the conflict, more than half of the Gaza Strip's 1.7 million inhabitants were classified as refugees, being forced from their original homes inside what is now Israel, by nationalist forces, in 1948.

As of January 2014, there were approximately 5.4 million Palestinians registered as refugees in various parts of the world, according to UNRWA. Palestinians make up the largest refugee group in the entire world.

At the time of this report, nearly 300 people have been reported killed, and over 2,000 wounded by military strikes which continue to bombard Palestinians by land, air and sea.

List of the 312 Palestinians, Including Whole Families, Killed Between 7/8 and 7/18
