The situation there is so dire that there is simply no one to talk to....The fact that these are Arab children, or children from the territories, is not a reason for us to allow ourselves to let such things go on under our very nose without doing anything." MID-EAST REALITIES - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 28 December 2003: It was never never like this in Palestine before. First on the list of responsibility is the Israelis -- they have purposefully pursued the strategy of pounding the Palestinians into total submission. This is a part of that result; and the coming generation of Palestinians will be even more bitter, even more seeking revenge....and who can really blame them? Next on the list of responsibility is the United States. What Israel has done could not have been done without the tremendous financial, military, and political support of the Americans. And next on the list of responsibility is the 'Palestinian Authority' -- on the whole a miserably self-seeking bunch of in many cases self-appointed and Israeli-approved cronies and thugs who collectively have also helped bring about this deplorable state of affairs through their own ineptitude and corruption. Today in Gaza the children are also on the march screaming to a complacent and complicitous world about all the Palestinians still being incarcerated and often-times tortured in what has become a veritable gulag of Israeli prisons and neo-concentration camps. Shame on the entire world for allowing the once Holy Land of the Bible to be reduced to such a state of cruelty, desperation, and suffering...most especially for the helpless, and now starving and begging, children.
