US-Israeli state terrorism (USIST) - huge death toll predicted for devastated Lebanon and Palestine
by Open-Publishing - Friday 4 August 2006Wars and conflicts International
US state terrorism has exacted a horrendous death toll in Bush’s War on Terror. Unfortunately Mainstream Media scrupulously IGNORE the harsh reality that the vast bulk of avoidable deaths in the Bush Wars have been non-violent but nevertheless avoidable deaths due to economic and infrastructure destruction. Thus the post-invasion VIOLENT deaths in Iraq total about 44,000 (according to Iraq Body Count) but the total post-invasion deaths total 0.5 million (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5489/42/ , http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5872/26/ ).
The post-1967 avoidable mortality (avoidable, man-caused deaths) in the Occupied Palestinian Territory totals (so far) 0.3 million (about 60% infants and due to gross Israeli violation of the Geneva Convention). 70% of Christian Arabs have fled the Occupied Palestinian Territories and 80,000 Palestinians fled last year, 50% up on the year before - this is Israeli ethnic cleansing on a huge scale. There are 6 million Palestinian refugees in the Middle East alone - but, horrifyingly, in the last weeks Israel has created 1 million Lebanese refugees. BEFORE the latest Israeli War on Women and Children, seven (7) Palestinian Childen were dying avoidably every day due to documented Israeli war crimes i.e. in every 6 weeks about 300 Palestinian Children would die avoidably in "non-war conditions" as compared to the 60 Israelis who have (deplorably) died in the last 6 weeks of "war conditions"
The latest Israeli War on the Indigenous inhabitants of the region has (so far) cost about 1,000 Arab deaths (1/3 Children, mostly Women and Children - according to the United Nations), thousands wounded, 1 million homeless, and horrendous civil infrastructure devastation with a prediction of over 40,000 avoidable deaths ANNUALLY if Lebanon-Palestine is reduced to a "UK-US-occupied Iraq scenario" VERSUS about 60 Israeli deaths in the present conflict to date (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/8279/26/ ).
US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) (US provision of Depleted Uranium shells and bombs, and young Israeli soldiers and pilots "just obeying orders") is targetting civilians, killing huge numbers of civilians and engaging in both "slow" and "fast" ethnic cleansing (clear "genocide" under the UN Genocide Convention).
50% of the targetted population of Palestine and Lebanon are Children, 75% Women and Children. What sort of people make war on Women and Children? Those who deny, excuse, minimize, obfuscate, advocate, support or effect gross abuses of Women and Children - or indeed of anyone - have really crossed the line between decent humanity and Nazi-style barbarism.
The US-Israeli State Terrorist (USIST) war crimes in the Middle East not only violate the Geneva, Hague, Universal Human Rights, Rights of the Child and UN Genocide Conventions, they also grossly violate the 3 millennium humanitarian Jewish tradition that is the GREATEST contribution of the Jewish People to Humanity.
Peace with equality, justice and reconciliation is the only sustainable future for Israel and its Indigenous Arab neighbours. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Decent people are obliged to inform others and to act ethically in all their dealings with those complicit in crimes against humanity. International boycotts and sanctions worked against the racist Apartheid regime in South Africa - they are now urgently required (at both a personal and national level) to stop Bush-Olmert US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/8466/26/ ).
