Post GAZA & Silent Complicity. The World’s Largest Open-Air Gulag
I've always kind of liked this man: my estimation of Ralph Nader has just gone up a notch. He is talking my language here.

"Have you heard much lately about the 1.5 million Palestinians illegally imprisoned by the Israeli government in the world’s largest open-air Gulag? Their dire living conditions, worsened by a selective Israeli siege limiting the importation of necessities of life – medical items, food, water, building materials, and fuel to list a few – has resulted in an 80 percent unemployment rate and widespread suffering from unlawful punishment, arbitrary arrests and imprisonment in Israeli jails.

The horrific conditions were a result of the Israeli invasion of Gaza in late 2008, ignited by Israel’s breaking of a truce with Gaza on November 4. Fourteen hundred people died, nearly three hundred of them children, and thousands were injured. The terror bombing of the Gazan population smashed into homes, hospitals, schools, ambulances, mosques, subsistence farms, UN facilities, and even the American International School. Israeli bombers destroyed over 30 members of one extended family in their home. That toll alone was three times the amount of Israeli fatalities, which included friendly fire."

He got this bit wrong: "That toll alone was three times the amount of Israeli fatalities, which included friendly fire." The total number of Israeli deaths were 13: 10 soldiers including 3 combatants due to "friendly fire". 3 non-combatants

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights in March 2008 released the final tally of casualties in Israel's 22-day war on Gaza:

"Over the course of the 22 day Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, a total of 1,434 Palestinians were killed. Of these, 235 were combatants. The vast majority of the dead, however, were civilians and non-combatants: protected persons according to the principles of IHL. PCHR investigations confirm that, in total, 960 civilians lost their lives, including 288 children and 121 women. 239 police officers were also killed; the majority (235) in air strikes carried out on the first day of the attacks. The Ministry of Health have also confirmed that a total of 5,303 Palestinians were injured in the assault, including 1,606 children and 828 women."

I think the psychopaths want to maintain Gulags no matter what. Sort of holding fixes in their architecture. No amount of transparency or Reason will ever make them change.
This is a major oversight in our societal thinking. Thinking there is an equal justice plane. They must keep the illusion of Justice for the volunteering of MK slavery to work.
This is where the system protects itself very well and the illusion continues to roll...
