  • On Jan. 17, the Israeli military detonated 315 mines to destroy Gaza's last standing university, al-Israa University, located south of Gaza City. For 70 days prior, the Israelis occupied the university as a military base, posting snipers in its buildings and using it as a detention and interrogation center. According to university authorities, prior to the detonation Israeli soldiers looted the university museum, which contained 3,000 artifacts dating back as far as the Roman era. With al-Israa University's destruction, Israel has now destroyed or damaged all of Gaza's 12 universities, and also targeted 280 government schools and 65 UN schools, many of which were sheltering civilians when they were attacked. Al-Israa University Vice President Dr. Ahmed Alhussaina joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss Israel's war on Gaza's educational and cultural institutions.

South Africa took this to the ICJ (with the support of many countries, organizations and private individuals), Mexico has said they're taking the issue to the ICC, Algeria says that it's taking the ICJ preliminary verdict to the security council for enforcement, Ireland is raising a stink over this in Europe ..

      I hate to say it but I think it's entirely a myth that human beings are better and more moral people now than before. It's all just a question of what you can get away with. Most people will never commit genocide - but the people who are in charge do it all the time. We're held hostage by the most savage and duplicitous members. And that's been true since the first empires started recording their history, some 5000 years ago. I believe that we are just medieval people with computers and cars. We are far closer to the blood-soaked ancient past than we are to an imagined Star Trek style egalitarian future. I suspect it will take tens of thousands of years before we stop doing this shit. Maybe we'll never stop. I have no idea.
      Genocide is a tragically human thing and there's no reason to assume it will stop in the 22nd century, 23rd, 24th, 25th, and on and on and on. There's just something fundamentally wrong with us, as humans.
      Frankly, I don't think being a human is a noble or good thing at all. It's quite a terrible thing, I've come to realize. I think we're vicious monsters - far crueller and more destructive than all other creatures on the planet.
      I wish I knew what to do with that information but, in truth, I don't. I just stare into the void and weep.

    *Gaza’s rescue workers are haunted by those they couldn’t save*
    _Civil defense teams are working around the clock with minimal resources to help Palestinians trapped under the rubble. Too often, it’s a losing battle._
    An excerpt :
    “I cannot sleep, not even for one minute. I am constantly haunted by the voices and screams of people under the rubble as they beg us to pull them out.”
    This is how Ibrahim Musa, a 27-year-old from Al-Bureij refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, described his life since the start of Israel’s bombardment. Not only is he struggling to survive from one day to the next like everyone else in the besieged enclave, Musa is also one of the more than 14,000 rescue workers comprising Gaza’s civil defense teams, who lead the efforts after each Israeli airstrike to save the lives of those trapped beneath the rubble.
    According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 8,000 people have gone missing since the war began, the vast majority of whom are thought to be stuck under rubble. Many of them have likely died despite the best efforts of civil defense workers.
    A scenario that Gaza’s rescue workers have been encountering regularly is having to try to calm children who are stuck beneath the ruins of their home. “The children call out from the rubble asking about their family members,” Musa continued. “We sometimes lie and tell them everyone is okay so that they don’t go into shock. Other times, they call out to tell us that a family member lying next to them has been martyred.”
    ----------------
    For Musa, it often feels like he and his colleagues are fighting a losing battle. “It’s not one or two houses being bombed, but entire residential complexes,” he explained. “The whole area is completely erased and becomes a single pile of rubble. We need to dig with our hands to remove injured people who are still alive.
    “There is no equipment,” Abu Khudair said, explaining that they lack bulldozers for removing large blocks of concrete and electronic devices that could determine victims’ locations. “We operate only with human power.”
    --------------
    Civil defense workers themselves are not immune to Israel’s attacks: at least 32 have been killed since the start of the war, including seven members of Abu Khudair’s own team. He thinks this is no mistake.
    “The occupation forces deliberately target the civil defense and ambulance teams,” Abu Khudair said.
    ---------------
    One particularly devastating situation that has been seared into Abu Khudair’s memory followed a midnight bombing near a gas station in the southern Gaza town of Al-Qarara. “I went to the site and at first I could not find any victims,” he recalled. “Then I heard moaning and headed toward the sound. I dug among the rubble and found two stuck legs, which I freed - they belonged to a 12-year-old girl named Aisha.” The girl told him that eight of her family members were trapped under the rubble, in addition to other families, including 9 very young children.
    Despite the best efforts of Abu Khudair and his colleagues, they simply did not have the means to save them. He described it as “one of the harshest moments I have experienced - leaving a place knowing that there are people alive under the rubble, but you cannot do anything for them, and some of them will surely die.”

Does that mean that we can now evict Polaks and proclaim that our territory? no, cause the world doesn't work like that... Romans controlled all of the mediterranean at the peak of their empire, does that mean Italy should control all of the Europe including Israel and Palestine and much more? Or the world works like that when it suits you? You cannot pick and choose out of the history depending on what suits you at that moment... It doesn't work like that, except if you have the backing of the 2 most violent and bloodthirsty countries on the planet, clearly... Israel can exist, and now it should, but it cannot do what it pleases, it just isn't right...

If what we are witnessing does not apply to either of those words, the words have come to have no meaning. And so what is going to be required to exact some kind of equity for these crimes? They cannot just be shrugged off as a historical curiosity. The Palestinians deserve what every other people deserve and the Israelis, the Americans, the British and most of the Western countries are denying them this. Anyone have some humane equitable suggestions? This situation cannot be left to stand as it is. Thank you Chris for your dissertation of this disaster.

      Egypt especially lacks the economic resources to support them, so many thousands of injured, starved & traumatised people.
      As a principle, they don't want to partipate in the Israeli plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
