El bloqueo de Gaza: Genocidio

Hay fascismos buenos y fascismos malos... El de Israel contra Gaza y en general Palestina es un fascismo bueno y moral (según los zionistas - y EU). Pero quien se atreva a juzgarlos o criticarlos, se vuelve un "antisemita". Israel castiga con total impunidad a toda una población, con el pretexto de combatir el "terrorismo". Y Palestina sufre.

Rafah, Occupied Palestine: A dark brown putrid sludge snakes through Gaza’s streets. Fumes of methane and bacterial gases choke the air. Faucets ooze organic material, a noxious mixture of human and animal waste, disease and bile. The stench is overwhelming. Passers-by choke up, vomiting into the mire.

“The smell,” Ayoub Al Saifi, 56, grimaces, holding a handkerchief over his nose and mouth. “The stench of the sewage … my wife has asthma and she can’t breath.”

Al Saifi lives adjacent to the newly formed pool of waste. Last week Israel ceased the delivery of all fuel and supplies into and out of Gaza. The effects have been catastrophic. The sewage treatment plant requires 20,000 litres of fuel per day to run only in Al Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

Silent now without fuel, the waste backs up, flooding the streets and clogging the plumbing initiating what the Ministry of Health calls an "environmental catastrophe" in Gaza.
