Our Tax Dollars Hard at Work
Part One; Deliberately Blown-Up Water Tanks.
Sometimes it's one relatively small thing that drives a point home or completely confirms a strong suspicion.
A case in point, for me at least, was this: two days ago, Israeli "defense" forces deliberately blew up the storage tanks that were supplying water to northern Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital.
This bears repeating:
They deliberately blew up the tanks that supplied water to a hospital!
This was no case of mis-targeting or "collateral damage." They rigged remote control robots with explosives, placed the robots close to the water tanks, and detonated them.
Part Two: Want to stop a Hospital from Treating People? Just arrest all the staff and haul them away.
Nor should the water tower destruction be a surprise, as the hospital has been quite literally under siege for several weeks. It is mostly just a shelter now, as Israel had already destroyed its ability to provide medical services. Until late October, Kamal Adwan had been the last functioning medical center in the region. But then the Israeli forces arrested all but one of the 70 or so medical staff and hauled them away to nobody knows where.
This bears repeating too:
The entire medical staff of a hospital was simply arrested and hauled away!
Prior to that, the place had been bombed on at least fourteen occasions. The bombing in and around it continued relentlessly up until the recent destruction of the water tanks.
* * *The more I consider it, the more it occurs to me that Israel and the U.S. are -- for most practical purposes -- the same country. The U.S. showers money on the Israeli military; Israeli PACs shower money on U.S. politicians; the American media repeat the lies that Israel is the "only democracy" in the middle east and that, while it may get a bit carried away, Israel is always just exercising "its right to defend itself;" and the rhetoric of U.S. "leaders" and Israeli "leaders" is virtually interchangeable.
