More from Chapter 4 of Goliath , the Chapter entitled The Hill of Shame.
As Cast Lead is ongoing, Israel bars intl reporters from entering Gaza.
Reporters must report from Parash Hill with all the Israeli revelers. This leads reporters to nickname the lookout "The Hill of Shame."
Across Gaza, many Israeli crimes are reported.
Unarmed civilians were attacked by the IDF with tank shells and torn to pieces with fleshette darts.
Children were burned with white phosphorous chemical weapons and were treated at Gaza hospitals.
A few children were killed with D.I.M.E. weapons which stands for Dense Inert Medical Explosive. ( Internet research from past operations shows these are weapons produced in the US which contain depleted uranium in them. And they cause cancer in rats, and they typically blow off limbs*of persons they strike. In Cast Lead, we see children targeted and killed with these weapons).
A group of women in Gaza waving white flags were targeted by the IDF and shot to death.
A family in Gaza eating lunch was struck by the IDF with a missile and killed.
IDF soldiers killed a 8 year old boy named Ibrahim Awajah in Gaza. His mother Wafaa told documentary filmmaker Jen Marlowe after soldiers killed him they used his corpse for target practice.
More discussion of Ch 4 Goliath
We learn about the orders soldiers in Cast Lead are being given.
Israeli filmmaker Nurit Kedar interviews a tank commander named Ohad.
Ohad says his orders were to shoot a shell at any car that came within 200 meters of him. They were told to cleanse neighborhoods, to include buildings. The commander told them homes were to be shelled and said clearly that every house was to get a shell. Ohad told the filmmaker he feels good about what he did, he is proud of what he did.
Gideon Levy who writes for Haaretz and opposed Cast Lead noted the horrors were only being reported on back pages of daily newspapers Yedioth Ahronoth and Maariv, with few details provided. If Israels MSM was to address on the toll of the assault on Gaza at all, it was to stress inconveniences caused to Israelis Jewish public.
It was only towards the end of Gaza a horror in Gaza truly made it to being discussed by MSM in prime time news. It was a broadcast by Izeldeen Abuelaish, a fertility doctor and widower who was raising 8 children on his own in Jaboliyah refugee camp in Gaza. The doctor was Harvard trained and he had spent 8 years previously working in Israel helping Israelis have children. On January 10, he appeared on Israeli TV Channel 10 and he was sobbing uncontrollably. And he described how a tank shelled upon his house and decapitated 2 of his daughters and tore the bodies of two more of his children into shreds.
The distraught doctor screamed that they were dead, they were hit in the head, and he cried out to God, to Allah.
The next day the distraught doctor was interviewed in Sheeba Medical Center where is surviving children were there in intensive care. He told reporters his daughers supported peace and had no weapons and they had wanted to move with him to Canada where he had a job. As he was being interviewed, a woman named Levana Stern lunged at the dr through reporters and shrieked that he must have had weapons in his house and he should be ashamed and all of the reporters should be ashamed. The doctor in dismay simply commented that they dont want to see the other side.
Only in Fascist Israel can we see such as this!
