Here are the victims of today, where are the Arabs if they are not the same Arabs who were yesterday


The website Palestine from my eyes displays the name of the victims of Israeli Armed Forces that are attacking Gaza since November 15th.

At the beginning of the post, the site claims that Palestinian people are NOT just numbers, and invites us to keep following the names and ages of murdered people who fell victim during the past days of Israeli attacks on Gaza since Wednesday. The number rises, up to now, to 69 and still rising.

When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to “defend themselves”, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing . According to Chomsky “you can't defend yourself when you are military occupying someone else's land. That is not defense. Call it what you like, it's not defense”.

Keep following this post. I’m going to keep updating it on everything that is happening as much as I can and as long as I’m breathing!

The attack of the Israeli armed forces against Gaza repeats itself, as did it in 2008, after the Barack Obama´s presidential victory. The objective is to restore its deterrence capability against regional neighbors as well to discredit the political bonanza of Hamas after the formal talks with al-Fatah, the political visit of Emir of Qatar, the maintenance of the alliance with Iran, and the possibility to go with Mahmoud Abbas for the recognition of a Palestinian State in the United Nations next November 29th.

However, as exactly happens in 2008, Israel is getting closer to international disrepute and away from the U.S support in the regional agenda, at least, during the next years of Obama ´s administration.

While Israel imprisons Palestinians, humiliates entire families, economically sabotages entire towns, steal their land and denied access to basic goods, Palestinian people suffer the harassment of Israeli military, who, despite the slaughter of children and women, threatens to widen its military operation to a ground operation in the next hours.

While the regional context has now changed a lot and puts in power some political groups very close to the Palestinian cause, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Tunisia, the response to the Israeli military offensive remains in the same; this is, silence, immobility, reaction instead of action, and brings a certain kind of complicity very similar to that experienced in 2008.

For this, the Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi declared that: “Egypt today is different from yesterday, and Arabs today are different from yesterday.” If this is true, we have to ask him again and again the very same question of the last 60 years: ¿where are the Arabs? Where are the Arabs if they are not the same Arabs who were yesterday?
