U.S Delivers Israelis Weapons as Casualties Escalate



In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

May the peace, blessings, and mercy of Almighty God be upon all of you.

The United States of America has been rather silent on the Gaza crisis this time around. All of the media outlets and senators of both parties are, of course, giving their undying support to the Israeli "Defense" Forces, saying that the war is both legit and within Israel's rights to defend itself from Palestinian fireworks. But, the Bush administration and Barack Obama have not said much concerning the conflict, and just reiterating the same-old "Hamas militants are terrorists that need to be killed" stance.

However, the U.S is actually fully involved in this war. According to the Jerusalem Post, in early December, the Israeli military had received a shipment of 989 20-foot Containers carrying U.S-made Bunker-Buster missiles. These are very effective high-explosive air-to-surface missiles capable of destroying underground facilities, tunnels, shelters, and of course enemy bunkers. It was shipped by the U.S Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC), which almost undoubtedly means Israel had been planning for this war since at least early December.

This is coming out of your tax money, America!

325 more containers of "ammunition" is expected to reach Israeli shores from the Greek port of Astakos in mid-to-late January, the source and MSC documents said.

Medics in Gaza have confirmed that at least 821 people have been killed since the start of the offensive, including 93 women and 235 children. That means almost half of the dead are only women and children - terrorists, right? That does not include the young, middle aged, and elderly men who have been killed without being a part of Hamas. Hamas is a democratically elected government in Gaza, which therefore makes its armed wing the unofficial Gazan military, so those Hamas members that have died so far have died for their country and their cause, and the people of Palestine are supporting them.

And the world, including the Arab and Muslim countries, are absolutely silent about the 821 killed and over 3,350 wounded. The medics have almost no access to medical supplies due to Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid and intentional targetting of UN, Red Cross, and Press members, so it's very plausible that these wounded will wrongfully die due to simple injuries. The blood of these wounded Palestinians are on Egypt for not letting these people in as refugees.

As for Israeli casualties, I woud like to make a correction from yesterday. Earlier I had said 4 civilians had been killed. Correction, the amount of Israeli civilians killed is 3. 10 Israeli soldiers have been killed, either via rockets, mortars, or gunfire.
