Mass Murder Update


A few facts in case your media outlet is preoccupied with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's name for their new baby:
  • Israel has killed over 1,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and wounded over 5,000 in the last twenty-one days!
  • dog's are eating the burnt remains of children in the streets of Gaza
  • Israel is bombing UN facilities
  • Israel is using White Phosphorus against the Palestinians (can burn flesh to the bone- does this qualify these murders as a holocaust? "a thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life especially through fire," Merriam-Webster)
  • nine Israeli human rights groups are calling for an investigation into whether Israel is committing war crimes
  • The USA supplies Israel with weapons and more funding than any other country on the planet
Twenty-one days into the Israeli attack, more than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed and more than 5,200 wounded. At least 700 civilians are among the dead, including more than 350 children. Much of Gaza is without food, water and electricity.

Facts mostly from to Democracy Now!
