Gazans need to be armed to defend themselves

Khalid Amayreh: The ongoing pornographic killings in the Gaza Strip at Israel's criminal hands underscore the urgent need for arming these proud and oppressed Gazans with the necessary means to defend themselves and their children.

The latest brutal killings, which claimed dozens of casualties, are totally unjustified and unprovoked. The assassination by Israel of one resistance leader, Zuheir al Qeisy, and his body guard a few days ago, was a naked aggression in every sense of the word.

However, to justify its criminality and aggression, the mouthpieces of lie in Israel claimed that the victims were planning to carry out an attack on Israeli troops across the borders in Sinai. Unfortunately, Zionist-controlled and Zionist-influenced media in the west kept parroting the same lies as if what the Israeli military spokesperson was reading from the Quran or the Bible.

There is no sliver of evidence corroborating the mendacious Israeli claim. When it comes to the Palestinians, Israel lies as often as she breaths.

The latest killings show that Zionist Jews can't sleep well at night without satiating their thirst for Palestinian blood. This is the most likely explanation of the latest episode in Gaza where a state, which is armed to its teeth with the most lethal and most advanced weapons of death under the sun, is ganging up on poor, defenseless and helpless people whose only guilt is their enduring yearning for freedom from the clutches of Zio-Nazim or Jewish Nazism.

Besides the sheer criminality and nefariousness of the unprovoked killings (unprovoked because the Palestinians were meticulously observing an Egyptian-brokered truce with Israel), Israel is really acting cowardly by using F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopter gunship against unarmed or scantily-armed people who don't possess the wherewithal to defend themselves.

This really put Israel on equal footing with the worst criminal regimes in history, including the Third Reich and the regime of Joseph Stalin.

I understand that appealing to America, Israel's guardian ally, is pointless. After all, American administrations and politicians, especially during an election year, are transformed into real political whores.

An expression of his political whoredom was made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a few days ago when she condemned the firing of some projectiles from Gaza onto the 1948-territories. According to that woman, the Palestinian must die and be killed and massacred in the most pornographic manner by Israel as quietly and silently as possible.

Not an allusion or a distant hint was made by the secretary of state of the country of Patrick Henry, who said the famous words (give me freedom of give me death), to the Israeli aggression, and the use by the apartheid state of state-of-the-art of the American technology of death against innocent people who lack the means to defend themselves and their children.

The promiscuous moral duplicity of the American policy vis-à-vis the Palestinian people should underscore the futility and naivety of banking on America to give justice to the Palestinians, e.g. by forcing Israel to give up the spoils of the 1967-war.

Of course, one can go on and on and on explaining America's criminality with regard to enabling Israel to maintain and perpetuate its own criminal discourse versus the Palestinians and other peoples of the Middle East.

It is a criminality that will eventually lead to the collapse and demise of a country that dominated the world during much of the 20th century and is still widely considered the strongest country in the world, politically, economically and especially militarily.

But America's status is fast receding and years are counted; and it is a matter of a few decades before America finds itself in the shoes of Great Britain following the second World War.
