Since 1948, the Palestinians live condemned to perpetual humiliation.

They cannot even breathe without permission. They have lost their country, their land, their water, their freedom, everything of theirs.

They do not even have the right to choose their governments. When they vote for those they should not, they are punished. Gaza is being punished.

It turned into a mousetrap without exit since Hamas cleanly won the elections of 2006.

Something similar happened in 1932 when the Communist Party triumphed in the elections of El Salvador. Drenched in blood, the Salvadorans atoned for their bad behaviour and since then have lived under military dictatorships.

Democracy is a luxury which not everyone deserves.

to make the point …

The most recent MOU signed by Dr. Rice & Ms LivnI, one of the most notorious Israeli war criminals, stipulates that the American government helps in preventing weapons smuggling into Gaza.

According to Dr Rice, the signing of this MOU is only a step in the process towards a permanent cease fire. Of course she speaks about a process which gives the Israeli more time for human cleansing in Gaza; she wants to give the Israeli army more time to kill more Palestinian children and women.

However, unfortunately this MOU does not stipulate that the American government stops sending weapons of mass destruction to Israel. The MOU does not speak about the most sophisticated weapons, the American government is giving for free to Israel to kill Palestinian children and women in Gaza. The MOU does not talk about any practical procedure to ban Israel from using DIM and White Phosphorus bombs that kill Palestinian children by burning their little and tender bodies.

The MOU has ignored the fact that the Palestinian living in Gaza are occupied ; they are not terrorist as promulgated by the colonial rhetoric; they are freedom fighters who want their legitimate rights, they are people who want to live in dignity like all the peoples of the world. The MOU has never included anything related to lifting the siege imposed in Gaza by opening crossings for humanitarian purposes.

The Palestinians in Gaza do not bank much on the American government but rather on the good American people, the good people who do not want to see the tax they pay used in building the Israeli arsenal of mass destruction which is used to threaten the Arab people, in general, and the Palestinian people in particular.
