PALESTINE  : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

GAZA MASSACRES MUST SPUR US TO ACTION 
By Ali  Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 27 December 2008 

"I will play music  and celebrate what the Israeli air
force is doing." Those were the words,  spoken on Al
Jazeera today by Ofer Shmerling, an Israeli civil  defense
official in the Sderot area adjacent to Gaza, as images  of
Israel's latest massacres were broadcast around the world.
A short time  earlier, US-supplied Israeli F-16 warplanes
and Apache helicopters dropped  over 100 bombs on dozens of
locations in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip  killing at
least 195 persons and injuring hundreds more. Many of
these  locations were police stations located, like police
stations the world over,  in the middle of civilian areas.
The US government was one of the first to  offer its
support for Israel's attacks, and others will follow.  The
Electronic Intifada co-founder Ali Abunimah  comments.

"THE AMOUNT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IS  INCONCEIVABLE" 
By Safa Joudeh, Live from Palestine, 27 December 2008  

It was just before noon when I heard the first explosion.
I rushed to  my window and barely did I get there and look
out when I was pushed back by  the force and air pressure
of another explosion. For a few moments I  didn't
understand but then I realized that Israeli promises of  a
wide-scale offensive against the Gaza Strip had
materialized. Safa  Joudeh writes from the besieged  Gaza
Strip.

"SHABBAT SHALOM" IN GAZA
By Rami  Almeghari, Live from Palestine, 27 December 2008

Shabbat Shalom!  "Peaceful Saturday." I don't believe that
Israeli leaders appreciate the  meaning of this Hebrew
greeting given at the start of the weekly Jewish day  of
rest. No more "Shabbat Shalom," as on Saturday, 27
December 2008, just  a few days before the start of a new
year, Israeli warplanes dropped bombs on  different parts
of the Gaza Strip. The Electronic Intifada  correspondent
Rami Almeghari writes from the besieged Gaza  Strip.

THE RAINS OF DEATH IN GAZA 
By Laila  El-Haddad, Live from Palestine, 27 December 2008 

We woke up this morning  to the news in Gaza. It seems we
always wake up to news there -- so it has  become a matter
of perspective how bad the news is each time; how  remote
it seems each time; how real or not; how severe and
whether the  severity warrants an "international outcry" or
whether the animals can  continue to suffer in their cages
for a while longer. Laila El-Haddad writes  from the  US.

PALESTINE  : HUMAN RIGHTS: 

RIGHTS ORGS: ISRAEL'S WILLFUL KILLINGS A WAR CRIME  
Press release, Various undersigned, 27 December 2008 

Palestinian  human rights organizations strongly condemn
the recent military attacks  carried out by the Israeli
occupying forces in the Gaza Strip on 27 December  2008.
The attacks began at approximately 11:30am and lasted  for
approximately three hours. These attacks have destroyed
most of the  Gaza security offices including police
stations, resulting in the deaths of  more than  200
Palestinians.

PALESTINE  : ACTIVISM NEWS:

BOYCOTT COMMITTEE: "STOP THE MASSACRE IN GAZA - BOYCOTT  ISRAEL NOW!" 
Press release, Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions  National 
Committee, 27 December 2008 

Today, the Israeli occupation army  committed a new
massacre in Gaza, causing the death and injury of  hundreds
of Palestinian civilians, including a yet unknown number
of  school children who were headed home from school when
the first Israeli  military strikes started. This latest
bloodbath, although far more ruthless  than all its
predecessors, is not Israel's  first.

NO BREAD IN GAZA 
By Rami Almeghari,  Live from Palestine, 25 December 2008 

Yesterday, after I finished my  lecture at one of Gaza's
universities, my wife asked me to bring some bread  from
Gaza City. All bakeries in our area have stopped operating
because of  the lack of flour and cooking gas due to
Israel's 18-month siege of the  territory. I drove
throughout Gaza City to try to find some bread for my  four
children, instead finding a miserable scene. The
Electronic Intifada  correspondent Rami Almeghari writes
from the occupied Gaza  Strip.

HUNGER BEFORE THE STORM 
By Sameh A.  Habeeb, Live from Palestine, 25 December 2008 

Israeli politicians, in  the run-up to elections, are
promising to deal a severe blow to Gaza as this  is how
Israeli policy is made. However, every household in Gaza
is already  under siege. In Gaza you can only find pale,
angry and frustrated faces. If  you visit my house you
won't find power, while my neighbor is out of gas.  Another
neighbor seeks potable water as power outages have left
him  without for four days. A third neighbor desparately
looks for milk for his  child but does so in vain. Sameh A.
Habeeb writes from the occupied Gaza  Strip.
