WASHINGTON, 18 August — A deadly silence covers Palestinian cities where the Israeli neo-nazi Wehrmacht are in jackbooted control — just as the old Nazis were in Paris, Oslo, Brussels, Bergen, and Berlin. This evil cover of silence is again kept secure by the major news media of the US and much of the world.

Why does not the American media report to us what tragic events are being perpetrated by the occupying army of Israel, backed up by American-made tanks, planes, helicopters, and heavy weapons? Why does not the American media report the outrageous actions of the Israeli thugs, who use Palestinian kids as shields for protection? In fact, just recently, they used one youth as a shield when they approached a Palestinian home where a man sat in a wheel chair, which must have scared the Israeli Army our of their wits. They pushed the lad up to the door, then shot him in the head from behind, and bulldozed the house until it collapsed, killing the man in the wheelchair.

Oh how brave these neo-Nazis, tanks against slingshots, stones, and wheelchairs.

Why does not the American media tell us about the Arab vendor whom the Israeli thugs attacked and stole his goods? Why does not the American media report from Nablus, where the Israeli thugs shot at a Palestinian automobile, wounding seven unarmed people inside, and then would not let ambulances through to the injured?

Why does not the American media tell us about the Itamer settlers who attacked the village of Vanoon, destroying Palestinian wells, closing roads, and firing on an wounding unarmed Palestinians, then stole property from them. Why does not the American media report how the Israeli neo-Nazis are tightening their control over their illegally occupied territories, burning down Palestinian houses, arresting men and boys willy nilly, destroying olive trees, farms, small businesses, all with the aim of starving Palestinian families in genocidal acts apparently with the blessing of the United States.

This then is the Israeli final solution: Kill, or arrest and jail, any able-bodied Palestinian men or boys in the occupied territories. Cut off any travel, for food or medical attention, so that the sick will die, and the normally healthy will wither. Bulldoze houses whether or not families are still in them with the ultimate intent of exterminating the Palestinians little by little, in the Goebbels salami technique — a slice at a time. Destroy all means by which the Palestinians could maintain life, the vegetable crops, the sheep, the goats, and anything else that might provide nourishment. Bulldoze or poison the wells, for water is life, and the Sharon butchers do not want life for the Palestinians, they want their land. The Israeli military code seems to be this: Kill, murder, destroy, rape, pillage, steal — and then lie about it. All this in the name of Jehovah? Jehovah would be insulted. No, these are in the names, natures, and acts of Hitler, Stalin — and Satan!
