The dark side of Tel Aviv
My comment 13 Oct 09, 6:35pm
· Why choose Tel Aviv as a holiday destination, while it is directly involved in the CURRENT deliberate and calculated imposed hunger on 1.5 million Palestinian in Gaza?? Even the calories allowed for the children and adults in Gaza are calculated by the Israeli military, with its HQ in Tel Aviv [HaKirya].
According to the Israeli paper, Haaretz, Israel even calculates the survival calories required:
"four pages filled with detailed charts of the number of grams and calories of every type of food to be permitted for consumption by Gaza residents (broken down by gender and age)
The Israeli deliberate and premeditated policy to cause hunger is led by Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai [as shown in the Haaretz report], who on 29 Feb 2008 threatened Gaza with "a bigger shoah" (holocaust). Dov Weisglass, an adviser to the Israeli Prime Minister during the onslaught of Gaza, Ehud Olmert, talked of putting Gazans "on a diet". This reminds me of Governor General Hans Frank in Nazi-occupied Poland, who spoke of "death by hunger". Im reminded of the siege of the Warsaw Ghetto.
These policies, the carpet bombing of Gaza and other war crimes, are carried out and monitored by the Israeli military, among them thousands serving in HaKirya, in the heart of Tel Aviv.
Visiting the clubs, beach and cafes in Tel Aviv, there is no escape from being next to Israeli soldiers, with or without uniform. This is why I no longer live in Tel Aviv. I now live in London and disgusted to see the despicable attempt to promote Tel Aviv here.
One of the posts here denied that Gaza was carpet bombed by Israel - how can anyone deny this?? My parents escaped Nazi Germany and my lesson was to never deny a holocaust, but fight it before it is too late. I therefore find many of the posts here, denying the Israeli atrocities and war crimes, as offensive as Holocaust denial.
