As we usher in the new year, vivid memories of the tragic events that unfolded two years ago flooded our minds. 28th December 2010 marked the third commemoration of the start of the month long brutal and unprovoked attacks and wilful killings of men, women and children of Gaza.
As Israel continues to pursue a policy of ethnic cleansing and sustained persecution on the Palestinian people, her Washington paymaster justifies Israel's preemptive strike on Gaza as a military necessity. The international community who has tolerated Israel's impunity for far too long, now has refused to be duped into believing the zionist popaganda spin. The Goldstone report is a clear departure from the traditional standpoint of the international community which has largely turned a blind eye on the atrocities committed by the zionist entity. Refused to be held ransom by the zionist agenda, Richard Goldstone, a jew himself, exposed irrefutable evidence of israeli supreme crime on the people of Gaza. The report was almost unanimously endorsed by the UN General Assembly except by the US and her proxy states including Australia. Israel continued to challenge international rule of law by assaulting Mavi Marmara, a ship on a humanitarian mission on the high seas, killing peace activists on board in the process. Such a blunder has caused Israel dearly in terms of her image and international standing. Israel's rash actions have lead to a number of countries especially Latin American states to sever diplomatic ties and prompted them to openly declare their support and recognition on the sovereign Palestinian state, anticipated by august 2011, as hinted by the Palestinian authority.
