How those weapons we sell are being used to genocide Palestinian society

Report from Mazim Qumsiyeh

It is difficult to put into wards our experiences since I wrote last and
sent any emails in over 8 days.  Our visits to Hebron, Ramallah, Jenin, Aida
Refugee camp and much more.  Over 10 meetings with international delegations
(inc luding talks I gave to a number of these delegations).  So many
inspiring stories and so many sad stories.  But how can I describe the Jenin
general hospital which had a neonatal intensive care unit in which they had
to put two premature babies in one incubater due to lack of enough
incubator.  In which the pediatric ward was overflowing with children and
their mothers.  A hospital that had three ambulances at one time, two were
bombed by the Israeli occupation forces, and the third was involved in a car
accident and so now there are no ambulance for a hospital serving 350,000
people. How can one describe the situations of the villages of Tayba,
Romana, and Salem  in the northern West Bank.  How can we talk about the 20
year old killed in Bethlehem while we were here. The military jeep that
threatened us as we were filming on the apartheid wall while locals
explained how they were forced to relocate graves of their relative.  How
can one describe any of our experiences.  I urge everyone receiving this
message to take time come to visit Palestine and spend as much as possible.
Nothing can replace that.  In the next few weeks, I will try to put up some
videos on Youtube to relay some of the experiences.  A couple of videos with
relevant material are linked below.  But in the meantime, please take a few
minutes (if you are in the US or a US citizen living abroad) to contact
congress and demand they reject both the military sales to subservient Arab
regimes AND the increases in military grants to Israel (free weapons given
for racist wars).  Israel’s military aid is to increase from $2.4 billion to
$3 billion annually for the next ten years (a total cost to us taxpayers of
$300 billion in addition to other aid).  For contacts of your
representatives, go here--
