Here’s the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Appeal for Gaza. So far Channel 4, Channel 5 and ITV have aired it last night. The BBC and Sky are still refusing to show it.

Sadly, Israel has been forced to defend itself
An American Jew said as she
Listed the sins of Hamas while failing
To take the rod out of her own eye
She castigated those who throw around
Words like “genocide” while failing
To note the three hospitals Israel
Bombed and the United Nations warehouse
Up in flames
As the people starve
While scant food and fuel and medicine
Trucked in as Israel killed and injured UN drivers
Is consumed by flames
Israeli hatred of Palestinians ignited
She mentioned her cousin in the Israeli army
When settlements were forced to evacuate
But that did not bring peace she lamented
She forgot the crossings were closed
Fruits and vegetables Gazans raised
Rotted at the border closed while economic
Distress and basics were denied the over-stressed
Population festering in the many wounds
Israel inflicts.
She was filled with shock
Dismayed when Palestinians voted for Hamas
How could they spit in the face of Israeli
Largess imagine giving up settlements
On the seashore with gardens and swimming
Pools filled to the brim as Gazans were denied
Water to drink and bathe imagine the gall
Israel remains committed to the peace process
While Hamas rains missiles down
Unprovoked except for Israeli gunships
Incinerating a family enjoying a day
At the beach while they blockaded
Medicines, food, fuel and any hope
The Gaza War is not meant to be an attack
On civilians – far from it – but an effort
To help Gazans rid themselves of resistance
Until Palestine comes to its senses
Accepts the enclosures and Wall
Meant only for their good
And surrenders all rights to us
The rightful owners of their land
We can honestly say
They have brought this upon
Themselves Israel is blameless
In the eyes of g-d and man
And the thousands who have died
So Israeli might live

With the hardline Zionist tactic of labelling any criticism of Israel as anti-semitic in mind, Par En Bas attempts a little thought experiment.
Hasn’t it occured to anyone else how Anti-Semitic the ban on cluster bombs is? I mean, it’s obvious the anti-Israel extremists are trying to take away Israel’s right to deploy weapons which are, and I quote, “highly useful on the battlefield”.
That’s why they were used to extensively during Israel’s war with Lebanon (or “Hezbollah” if you bend that way) in 2006, one presumes. In total, the Israelis dropped around 4 million “bomblets“, up to a million of which may not have exploded. These unexploded bomblets are responsible for the death and disfiguration of up to 200 Lebanese since the end of the war. Children are more likely to be the victims of this since the round “bomblets” can be confused for toys.
Luckily Israel, along with other brave nations such as the U.S, India, China, Russia and Pakistan, is not a signatory to this outrageous treaty and so will continue to deploy this “highly useful battlefield device” whenever the terrorists threaten our way of life.
Well, thank god for that!
