Ground Invasion begins: "Israel = Fascist state"

Israel has taken the next step in their genocidal policy towards the Gaza Strip, as air strikes have turn into a full fledge ground invasion of Gaza. Reports on the situation are hard to come by because of the Israeli ban on journalists entering the area. One can only wonder what barbaric acts of violence are taking place against the innocent women and children of Gaza. While the Zionist state of Israel with its Fascist tactics ban media access to Gaza to hide their crimes from the civilized world.

Some of the most recent ‘self-defense’ missions against ‘terrorists’ in Gaza come with an Israeli air strike on a Gaza mosque, where 200 innocent people were praying, the United Nations estimates that as of January 3rd, a quarter of the deaths in Gaza were civilians. Either Israeli troops are dropping the ball and are no longer the high quality professionals the world knows the Israeli military as, or we are watching a government-backed policy of Genocide against an entire people. Which ever it is, it is safe to say that if this situation was happening in any other country other then Israel, a united front would have entered and toppled the government committing such unthinkable war crimes against innocent civilians.

Inside the state of Israel thousands of activists took to the streets yet again to protest the military actions of their own country. Knesset members Dov Khenin and Ahmad Tibi joined those in the crowd to let the world know not every Israeli supports the actions of their government in Gaza. "I came here to demonstrate along with thousands of citizens in Tel Aviv and all across the country, Jews and Arabs alike, who are calling to stop this war, which is a disaster. It hasn't solved the security problems in the south, and nothing good will come out of it," Dov Khenin

Meanwhile across the world the International reaction seems to ring loud and clear, End the Genocide in Gaza! Protests from Britain, France, Germany, Hellas, Ireland, Italy, Turkey, Spain, the United States, the list goes on and on of those who wish to see an end to the fighting and allow humanitarian aid to enter the region. In Hellas, police fired teargas at activists who rallied outside the Israeli embassy in Athens. Others marched through the streets setting fire to banks and throwing rocks at police and the embassy. 12,000 demonstrators came out in London where thousands threw their shoes at Downing Street in anger towards the crisis in Gaza. In Time Square a sea of people wearing black and white kaffiyehs, the famous Palestinian scarf, spread out for four blocks. During Protests in San Francisco activists held signs that read “Gaza = Warsaw Ghetto”. One protester, Jack Fertig had the following to say, "I'm descended from Holocaust victims, and we need to identify with the oppressed - not imitate the oppressors". Yet, the United States for the second time this week has prevented a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate end to the conflict inside Gaza.

The barbaric crimes against the Palestinian people must come to an immediate end. If the Israeli state does not end their onslaught against the innocent women and children of the occupied zone, it only makes logic sense that some type of international coalition must come to the aid of those dying inside the ghetto that is Gaza. Shame on Israel and the United States, both nations with innocent blood on their hands. The years of favoritism towards Israel must come to an end; they are just as responsible for their actions as any other country in the world. Wake up and smell the reality of the situation, Israel is a new Fascist dictatorship in the World.
