In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer. - Albert Camus
ThE gRaNd OfFeNsIvE, January 5//post #83
On my way out the door yesterday afternoon, cbc reported that the Israeli “defense” forces were marching into Gaza. A couple of days ago it was reported that the airforce had “run out of things to bomb” and was revisiting previous targets. A Norwegian doctor at a hospital in Gaza has reported that “they bombed a fruit market” – is that some kind of improvisation? Gaza or Guernica?
I made fast friends with a very fine fellow named Jeffrey, and we walked and talked our way south-easterly to catch up with a great column of people coming up Yonge Street from Dundas Square …
When cbc reports that “more than a thousand protesters” came out to denounce Israeli state terrorism, are they deliberately misrepresenting the facts or … are they just unable to estimate any number bigger than that?
Several thousand peaceful people (estimates in the crowd ranged from 5-6 thousand…) arrived at Bloor and Avenue road and occupied the intersection … all kinds of people, all colours and all ages, young families, students, grandparents, pipers and labour unionists.
…pipers?
Yes, Bagpipers. 
Most governments say and do nothing, lift not one finger to assist or speak up on behalf of the people of Gaza (indeed – all of the people of the Occupied territories) terrorized by the state of Israel for 60 years. Even worse, other governments including Canada applaud in public when Israel blockades Gaza in order to starve the people into submission; nevertheless – tens of thousands millions of people in the streets all over the world will not be silent.
If governments will neither speak nor act in defense of the Palestinians who live in the most densely populated prison/concentration camp on earth denied dignity, basic sewage, sufficient food, medicine, fuel, employment, etc, etc…, then, one may be driven to wonder: What is it you would have a million and a half people who are penned and treated like rats DO for your ease and convenience?
Should the Palestinian people simply lay down and starve to death instead?
If you had been born in Gaza in 1967 and were still living there today – how might your perspective on all this be altered ?
I am not the first person to suggest that THE GRAND OFFENSIVE is one in a long line of GRAND experiments being conducted on the bodies and minds of the people of GAZA, one much more intensely focused and concentrated than various related experiments that are being performed on the people of Israel, not to mention everyone, everywhere else.
Long, grinding decades of displacement, isolation, deprivation, humiliation, degradation, collective punishment, deadly grim living conditions, impoverishment, bombing and bulldozing of homes, schools, hospitals and olive groves, imprisonment, countless beatings and killings are all instruments of pressure to be applied to *the subjects of the experiment. When carefully stage-managed, such constant pressures provoke uprising among the subjects that can be quite easily converted into justification for anything the experimenters decide to do next. Dismissing initial conditions whenever promoting current conduct, strategies and outcomes is a vital component of this particular methodology. Self-righteous indignation rains down, shattering the bodies of men, women and children in Gaza.
This time the sidewalk in front of the consulate was reserved … not long after we arrived en masse they disappeared inside the building.
As Jeffrey pointed out, “All roads lead to … [Rome the US consulate]” 
… so we went south, to keep the blood moving in January air, to connect all the dots, in spite of the cold and the relentless darkness.
“FROM IRAQ TO PALESTINE …!”

hi robinnnnnn!!! we talked a long time ago. i just wented to take a look to your web site and i saw the topic that i am interested in…america+israel versus muslim countries…i really hate america and israel…they win all the wars in this world because they’re powerful but what about other world??? i don’t think that america thinks about the world after they died? how are they going to explain all these badness, violence and war to god?
also i’d like to say that everyone interested in the war battle between america-iraq, philistine-israel, but nobody talks about the battle between Turks and Kurds? western countries talk about the people who died in philistine;however, they don’t talk about the Turkish soldiers and innocent Turkish people who are dying EVERDAY because of pkk terrorists…
I’m so sorry it took this long to respond to your comments. You wouldn’t believe how busy I’ve been, but that’s another story …
You are speaking about very serious matters – from your heart. I’m especially interested in your second comment because this is the other side of any close look at such a situation. While I am looking closely at one situation my focus is shifted away from other situations. The next step has to be looking to see the connections to the wider world. The war on Iraq is hideously complex. The whole world knows it was launched on a lie. The liars are very interested in the instability and violence they have stirred up, and the PKK are part of that picture. Soldiers are used and people who simply want to live their lives are not worth much from the perspective of those who lie and pull on all the strings connecting one to the other.
I can only speak for myself. When I write /think / speak about this, I notice the connection between it and the history of my own country. The lies being told today are very old ones that colonizers and empire-builders always tell in order to erase the people whom they see as obstacles to their control.
You can look into the connection between Turkey, the PKK, events in Iraq, Palestine/Israel, Afghanistan, etc. and find more connections and help make the big picture clearer by sharing how you see it.
Peace IS possible. Much love to you Helen – I hope allllll is well with you! Send me a letter ANY time!
xoxo Robin
