Israel/Palestine

The settlers especially are little more than thugs. This is not the same country most of us grew up supporting. It has morphed into a brutal regime willing to annihilate anything or anyone standing in its way to achieving total control of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.

The Post has an article today showing how Israel has created a corridor separating Gaza north to south in preparation for a military occupation of Gaza. Given how Israel has treated Palestinians as virtual prisoners in the past, this action does not bode well for their future.

“Israeli troops are fortifying a strategic corridor that carves Gaza in two, building bases, taking over civilian structures and razing homes, according to satellite imagery and other visual evidence — an effort that military analysts and Israeli experts say is part of a large-scale project to reshape the Strip and entrench the Israeli military presence there.”

“Israel insists it does not intend to permanently reoccupy Gaza, which its troops controlled for 38 years until withdrawing in 2005. But the construction of roads, outposts and buffer zones in recent months points to an expanding role for Israel’s military as alternative visions for postwar Gaza falter.”
