DESCRIPTION:
History passed a grim milestone this month as the

brutal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza

completed its 40th year. While poverty, military

repression, and denial of basic human rights have been

a daily feature of life for millions of Palestinians

living in the Occupied Territories, Israel?s latest

assault on Gaza has raised the horror to new levels.

Several dozen Palestinians, mostly unarmed civilians,

have been killed by Israeli attacks in the last month,

and Israel has ?arrested? over 60 members of the

elected Hamas government. In fact, since Palestinians

voted for Hamas eighteen months ago, the U.S. and

Israel have imposed a suffocating blockade on both

Gaza and the West Bank. The results? Over 80% of

Palestinians live in poverty. Some 84% of Gazans and

60% of West Bank residents have been forced to reduce

spending since the blockade started. Fully one-third

of Palestinians are food insecure. How can such

suffering be allowed to happen - and even defended by

U.S. and Israeli officials as ?justified?? Is there

an alternative to Israel?s war and occupation?

Also, what is behind the fighting between the two

Palestinian parties, Hamas and Fatah? And how can

justice for ordinary Palestinians ever be achieved?

You can read chapter 2 of John Pilger?s new book
