Jewish Israeli Professor Nurit Peled: Gaza concentration Camp At the Russell Tribunal, after Operation Cast Lead, Dec-Jan, 2008-009. over 5 years ago!!!! excerpt: "I dedicate my words to the heroes of Gaza: the mothers and fathers and children; The teachers, and doctors and nurses; who are proving every day and every hour that no fortified wall can imprison the free spirit of men, women and children. And no form of violence can subdue life. I was asked to speak as an Israeli. So as an Israeli, I live in the same country the Palestinians live in, only on the other side of the wall.  My country is a very small country where death has absolute dominion. Where death has had dominion for too long. And yet the world, the whole wide world, is impotent against it. In the jewish democracy (sarcasm?) of Israel, all human values have been long wiped off by the blood of innocent babes. Racist dicourse is legitimate; and racist education is the only one allowed. Israeli children are raised on slogans, such as "love thy neighbor", while being trained to kill the neighbors and the neighbors children, demolish their houses,  torture their elders and deprive their ill and their dying from medical help and care. ..."
