Fifteen days have passed since the Zionist enemy began its assault on Gaza.
As a result the death-toll amongst Palestinian civilians stand today at around 800 and those injured total over 3000 and is increasing daily.
Most of those targeted have been innocent civilians with many of the most vulnerable being toddlers, infants, and children. The pictures coming in of dead children have been horrific and won’t be forgotten for a long time.
The Zionist objectives were three-fold: political, military, and genocidal.
The political aims were to bring down the Palestinian resistance and to take-down by force the popularly elected government of Hamas, the military aim was to halt rocket attacks, and the genocidal goal was to mass-punish the civilians of Gaza for their support of the Palestinian resistance, for electing the Hamas government, and for embracing the resistance fighters.
The Zionist enemy, in keeping with its barbaric credo, is most effective in launching attacks that collectively punish the innocent. Indeed most of the Palestinian deaths came in the early hours of the first day of attack when the population of Gaza was attacked by surprise air-strikes which resulted in a swift malicious slaughter of some 200 people. No warnings were given when 1.5 ton missiles dropped on a people living in their homes, laboring at their work-sites and even attending prayer in their mosques.
No serial murderer can accomplish what “Israel" can do and that is to mass murder over 800 people in 15 days, regardless if they were children or adults, men or women, handicapped or not. Yet the US and Western public opinion in the imperialist nations is generally silent and even more arrogantly in support of "Israel" in total disregard to the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the "Democratic" process which is trumpeted about hypocritically by the imperialist nations and their stooge instrument, the "United Nations".
Zionist savagery has a long history behind it. The war of aggression against Lebanon in July of 2006 attests to this. In total disregard for human life, the Jewish state proceeded to murder over 1,000 Lebanese civilians and obliterated the infrastructure of Lebanon, yet still managing in the process to lose the battle with the Lebanese resistance which inflicted a humiliating defeat on it.
Today "Israel" uses the same tactics against Gaza that it used against Lebanon two years ago.
To halt rocket attacks it bombards in an act of collective punishment 1 1/2 Million people of Gaza and slaughters hundreds of them. Just as it devastated the infra-structure in Lebanon targeting roads, buildings, hospitals, schools and religious places of worship, it targets the same in Gaza with more viciousness and with international official sponsorship by the imperialist West.
The Zionist strategy is clear: bring the civilians to their knees so they would turn against the resistance forces. The military objective is to stop rocket-attacks against "Israel". Some buffoons may suggest, as was done in the American media and in American official political rhetoric, that "Israel" is acting in self-defense and is in the right to try to defend itself.
Our response to that is the following:
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What prompted the rocket attacks against "Israel" to begin with? The facts are that during the supposed cease-fire with Hamas, it was "Israel" that continued to assassinate and target leaders of the Palestinian resistance and to conduct savage arrests of militant and non-militant Palestinians. Further, it conducted a murderous siege of Gaza to starve its people through sanctions in order to get them to reject the resistance forces and relinquish the resistance option. In the process it deprived them and their children of a normal life, cutting off electricity, water and fuel supplies and sealing their erritory off from getting work outside or receiving help from outside in the form of aid.
This got so bad Gaza literally lost all its supplies of flour to make bread for its poorest people and its hospitals could not operate anymore because of the lack of electricity which came from the lack of fuel to operate electrical generators.
Despite these inhuman hardships the people of Gaza were steadfast and never relinquished the popular Palestinian resistance forces, but actually embraced them more fervently. Every Qassam rocket that was fired meant that a widow or orphaned child was not only avenged but could sleep safer that night. The Qassam rockets were the Palestinian people's outcry from Gaza and it was their act of fighting back oppression and injustice and an unbearable life. We can say in conclusion that these rockets were dearer to the hearts of the oppressed and heroic people of Gaza than food, medicine, electricity, or their own lives!

They will never give up the rockets and guns of resistance until they achieve their freedom.It was this same brave people of Gaza that kicked out the corrupt thugs and thieves of the American puppets in the form of the "Palestinian Authority" and replaced them with the democratically elected government of Hamas!
As a result the "Palestinian Authority" conspired with the Egyptian regime to besiege Gaza and then to facilitate the "Israeli" attack against Gaza, where the Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarak to this day has refused to open the borders with Gaza through Rafah, even to let in the most basic of human aid trucks and convoys of Arab doctors, who linger for days on the border while emergency supplies are made to be off-loaded by hand to slow down the process even more. The intent in all this is for the Egyptian government to participate in the effort to bring down the Hamas government which it opposes.
The Zionist soldiers and generals thought going into Gaza was going to be easy but they were in for a huge surprise.
Not only did Gaza stand its ground in the face of a massive land attack but it was able to inflict direct hits on the invaders and the Zionists immediately incurred large causalities as a result of the fierceness and well-preparedness, not to mention the indomitable courage and spirit of self-sacrifice of the Palestinian resistance forces.
Since the attack on Gaza began, the Qassam brigades have reported 20 Zionist soldiers killed and 100 injured. There are even reports of the capture of some Zionist soldiers, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Not only did the rockets fired by the Palestinian resistance get more intense and effective but they went further in distance than ever before, targeting Zionists in far-away places like Asqalan and Bir Sheba with Grad missiles and even targeting their air-bases.The enemy itself conceded 10 deaths but we know the number to be much larger and that the enemy is concealing the true extent of its losses.
Heroic operations by the Palestinian resistance included sniper attacks, explosive land-mines, booby-trapped homes, and suicide attacks, spreading fear in the hearts of the advancing Zionist soldiers.
Today the Palestinian resistance is winning the land-battle. It is the resistance saying no to a cease-fire while the Zionists ponder a cease-fire.
Gaza will prevail in this war and come out victorious and "Israel" has only defeat in Gaza to look forward to in the future.
