Israel is a Colony

Imagine an alien lands at Raffa in Gaza this morning. What will he see? He will see an enormous army, equipped with the latest weapons, guns, tanks, planes, warships have blockaded a tiny strip of land about 35X10 km, densely populated by poor, deprived people with no army of their own, no food, no shelter. They are constantly being bombarded from the sky and from sea and land, their houses, schools, hospitals are being targeted indiscriminately, people are dying like flies, elderly people, women and children. And the whole world is cheering the powerful army to go ahead and finish the people of that land.
By reading this much everybody will start screaming, “No, no it didn’t start there. Hamas attacked Israel. They brutally killed innocent civilians, women and children, even babies. Israel has right to self-defence.”
But then why should the clock start on last Saturday? Two weeks before that Israel killed 11 Palestinians. Is it not true that the whole thing started because Israel imposed themselves on someone else’s land?
If collective punishment of 2.3 million people is allowed in the name of self-defence, if indiscriminate bombing of civilians, women and children is allowed because they were attacked first, then sure there will be some justification for what the Nazis did to others.
Believe me, this will not end here. Obviously, people of Israel do not want peace. They want more land. Every month Israel takes away thousands of acres of land from Palestine and builds new settlements. If I take a million dollar an acre, that’s like stealing a billion dollar from Palestine every month.
That’s what they are after, this loot of land. That’s why they keep electing leaders like Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu. But then at least spare us the outrage. You WILL get bitten once in a while.

Get ready for the next attack, people of Israel.
