Targeting Gaza's Civilian Population: Israel Marks Christmas Again with Bombs

'twas the night before Christmas and Israel began murdering Palestinians anew (except it never really stopped)

December 24, 2013 

Gaza has been locked down at least since 2007 (and incrementally for decades), bombed and starved, its infrastructure decimated time and again, not allowed to re-build, its power plant bombed, its sewage and sanitation and water lines destroyed time and again, denied replacement parts for said destruction… and now, just as the rest of the world is again occupied with holidays, the Zionists are bombing Gaza anew.

Gaza has no tanks, no attack helicopters, no warplanes, no warships, no nuclear arms (nor electricity). Israel does.
