Last time Israel invaded Gaza, in 2008, I watched the whole things thanks to superb reports from the ground by al-Jazeera. When I checked before they were broadcasting propaaganda from Aleppo, Syria.
How
sad!

Message
from an ISM activist in Gaza -
Dear
All. I am calling on all your support for the besieged people of the
Gaza Strip.
Here
in Gaza, more than 10 people have been killed so far in the Israeli
operation named "Pillar of Defence" within the last 7
hours, including countless children such as 7-year-old child Ranan
Arafat and an 11 month old baby. We've seen charred bodies of dead
and injured children pouring in to Al Shifa hospital of Gaza City and
the other depleted hospitals around the Gaza Strip. 50 airstrikes all
over the Gaza Strip so far. Deafening explosions shook us all as
bombs landed close to us in the streets near the Universities. Huge
explosions are landing all around us in Gaza City now as I write,
some entire families have been injured. We can also hear the shelling
of Israeli Gunships. Announcement of possible Israeli land invasion
very soon.
More
than 330 children were killed in the last bloody operation like this
in operation Cast Lead, killing over 1400 in total the vast majority
civilians. We are reporting from hospitals, streets and bombed areas.
How many, terrified in there homes will have their lives shortened by
tomorrow, or after the days of airstrikes, tank shellings and Gunship
missiles Israel has announced. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. MOVE. ACT
NOW TO STOP ANOTHER GAZA BLOODBATH. INACTION AROUND THE WORLD HAS
LEAD US TO THIS POINT.
ACT NOW.
