Christmas In Gaza : No More Room In The Morgue.
'Little Baghdad' in Gaza - Bombs, Fear and Rage
By Amira Hass, Haaretz Correspondent
Relatives search among the bodies and the wounded in
order to bring the dead quickly to burial. A mother
whose three school-age children were killed, and are
piled one on top of the other in the morgue, screams
and then cries, screams again and then is silent.

The Truth About Those Hamas Rockets
By Dennis Rahkonen
Five years ago, the Bush administration lied about
weapons of mass destruction to dupe us into supporting
an illegal, immoral invasion of Iraq. A few days ago,
Israel trotted out only an infinitesimally more credible
excuse -- the Hamas rockets case -- as justification for
its own murderous shock and awe in Gaza.






Arab Connivance in the Gaza Massacre
By Alberto Cruz,
The most wretched of all the Arab leaders is Mahmoud
Abbas, who styles himself, "President of the Palestinian
Authority" at the same time as he accuses Hamas of
responsibility for the massacre for refusing to give in,
as he himself has done, to Zionist and Western designs.
Taking advantage of the bloodletting, he has already
said he will take over the administration of Gaza if Hamas
is defeated. We are faced with a Vichy-style West Bank
regime, with Abbas as its Pétain, serving the 21st Century
nazis, Israel.

Ron Paul: No Such Thing as an Independent Israel
By Jihan Hafiz
I don't think there is such a thing as an independent
Israel doing anything, because I think no matter what
they do its our money, its our weapons, and their not
going to do it without us approving it and if they get
into trouble we're going to bail them out, so there is
no separation between the two.






McKinney relief boat hit by Israeli ship:
A boat carrying international peace activists,
including former Georgia

supplies to the embattled Gaza Strip
sailed back into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after
being turned back and damaged
