Rafah in the

Twenty-three
year old Corrie
was doing

stood up to an

hurts me,
again, like it
has hurt me in
the past, to
witness how
awful we can
allow the
world to be…
Anyway, I’m
rambling. Just
want to write
to my Mom and
tell her that
I’m witnessing
this chronic,
insidious
genocide and
I’m really
scared, and
questioning my
fundamental
belief in the
goodness of
human nature.
This has to
stop. I think
it is a good
idea for us
all to drop
everything and
devote our
lives to
making this
stop. I don’t

tens of

whom have also
stood in
non-violent
resistance of
the Israeli
occupation for
decades. At the
same time, while
Corrie’s
identity is
expected to
garner more
outrage and
support, her
parents continue
to struggle for
justice after an
Israeli court
ruled that
Corrie’s death
was an accident,
absolving the
Israeli military
of any
responsibility.
Rachel Corrie’s
death joins the
multitude of
extrajudicial
killings that
Israel continues
to carry out to

complete
impunity. </span>

we can focus on
the growth of a

Teaching the next
generation of
Palestinians how
to make a
celebratory stew
may seem trivial,
inappropriate
even, in light of
the deliberate
starvation and plausible
genocide facing
Gazans right now.
But food is as
integral to our
identity and
rootedness to the
land as
our centers of cultural
knowledge, such as
archives,
libraries,
theaters, and
schools, which are
also under attack.
Israel’s assault
is eliminating
entire bloodlines,
and with them, all
of the memories
and knowledge they
possessed.

<h3 class="">Israel’s Psych-War Is Relentless, Vicious
and Deliberate<span

<p class="">One part of Israel’s military operation in
Gaza that’s been largely ignored by the mainstream
media is the extremely sophisticated psychological war
that’s being waged on the Palestinian people. If we
look carefully at some of the more unusual elements in
Israel’s strategy, we see the outline of plan that is
clearly aimed at inflicting maximum psychological
damage on its victims.<br class="">
<br class="">
Take, for example, Israel’s repeated demand that
civilians leave a particular city at a designated
time. Every time this demand has been made it was
followed shortly after by airstrikes on the fleeing
civilians. We could easily dismiss this unfortunate
action as an operational snafu attributable to human
error, but that does not appear to be the case. After
all, these airstrikes have not happened just once or
twice, but over and over again. This suggests that it
is official policy.<br class="">
<br class="">
The same is true of the seemingly random killing of
civilians by Israeli snipers, (some of them waving
white flags) or the so-called “indiscriminate bombing”
of homes, hospitals and refugee camps, or the
hyper-belligerent pronouncements by political leaders,
or the massive slaughter of civilians peacefully
gathering food at humanitarian aid trucks.<br class="">
<br class="">
What we’re saying is that none of these things have
any apparent tactical value, rather their efficacy can
only be measured in terms of how they help Israel
achieve its overall strategic objective which is the
expulsion of the entire Arab population. In that
regard, the strategy appears to be working quite well
because the majority of the population is now
convinced that “nowhere is safe”. This, in fact, is
the cornerstone upon which Israel has developed its
psychological battleplan, to eradicate any sense of
personal security prompting feelings of anxiety,
confusion and hopelessness. Keep in mind, this mindset
did not appear out of thin air. This mindset is the
product of a meticulously-plotted and
thoroughly-sinister plan to inflict maximum
psychological damage on 2 million people so they will
be easier to expel from their historic homeland. That
is the underlying goal of Israel’s operation, ethnic
cleansing. And the psychological aspect of the
campaign may be more critical to its success than the
relentless airstrikes or nascent ground war. This is
from an article at Save The Children:<br class="">
<br class="">
“In times of war, people usually seek refuge in safe
places. There are no safe places in Gaza right now,
and there is no way of reaching safety outside. With a
sense of safety, the constant reassuring presence of
family, some kind of a routine and appropriate
treatment, children can recover. But so many children
have already lost family members, some have lost all,
and the violence and displacement are relentless,”
Jason Lee, Save the Children’s Country Director for
the occupied Palestinian territory. Children’s Mental
health Pushed Beyond the Breaking Point, Save The
Children<br class="">
<br class="">
While Lee recognizes the importance of “safe places”,
he fails to connect the dots. He seems to think the
present situation is an accident of war, but it’s not
an accident of war. Israeli leaders have undoubtedly
worked hand-in-glove with groups of behavior
psychologists to settle on a plan that would achieve
their political goals while minimizing casualties.
(Mass casualties lead to fierce political opposition
which Israel wanted to avoid.) The current psyops
achieves both which is why we should assume that it is
not ‘accidental’. In short, Israel’s bombing campaign
is more focused on terrorizing and traumatizing than
it is on killing. Can you see that?<br class="">
<br class="">
Once we realize that there’s a rational motive for
Israel’s seemingly random violence, we begin to see it
everywhere. Every day there are new airstrikes on tent
cities and refugee camps that have no strategic value
at all. Why? Have Israeli leaders lost their minds?<br
class="">
<br class="">
No, they haven’t lost their minds. They are
deliberately terrorizing the Palestinians so they will
eagerly stampede into Egypt as soon as the wall is
breached. This is the real purpose of Israel’s
psychological war.<br class="">
<br class="">
So, what are the consequences of Israel’s psych-war on
the Palestinians?<br class="">
<br class="">
Well, if we review the data from the past, we see that
Israel’s frequent incursions have been nothing short
of catastrophic. Check out this excerpt from a report
by a group of scholars from the University of
Washington in 2009:<br class="">
<br class="">
“A recent report found that 91.4 percent of children
in the Gaza Strip suffer moderate to severe symptoms
of post-traumatic stress disorder.”…<br class="">
<br class="">
The most recent studies indicate that the vast
majority of Gaza’s children exhibit symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)….. Of a
representative sample of children in Gaza, more than
95 percent experienced artillery shelling in their
area or sonic booms of low-flying jets. Moreover, 94
percent recalled seeing mutilated corpses on TV and 93
percent witnessed the effects of aerial bombardments
on the ground. Vast majority of Gaza children suffer
PTSD symptoms, Electronic Intifada<br class="">
<br class="">
Repeat: “91.4 percent of children in the Gaza Strip”
already have “moderate to severe symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder.”<br class="">
<br class="">
So, even back in 2009, Palestinians were experiencing
a “staggering level of psychological trauma.” Imagine
how many more people will be severely impacted by
today’s bloody rampage. It’s worth noting, that the
psychological damage from the current conflict will
not vanish when the hostilities end. Many of these
people will spend the rest of their lives wrestling
with their own demons in a hell that is entirely of
Israel’s making. Here’s more from a 4-month-old
article at the Guardian:<br class="">
<br class="">
Children in Gaza are developing severe trauma symptoms
alongside the risk of death and injury, according to a
Palestinian psychiatrist….<br class="">
<br class="">
The psychological impact of the war on children was
showing, said Fadel Abu Heen, a psychiatrist in Gaza.
Children had “started to develop serious trauma
symptoms such as convulsions, bed-wetting, fear,
aggressive behaviour, nervousness, and not leaving
their parents’ sides.”<br class="">
<br class="">
The “lack of any safe place has created a general
sense of fear and horror among the entire population
and children are most impacted,” he said….<br class="">
<br class="">
Studies conducted after earlier conflicts have shown a
majority of children in Gaza exhibiting symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<br class="">
<br class="">
Among Unicef’s other findings were: 91% of children
reported sleeping disturbances during the conflict;
94% said they slept with their parents; 85% reported
appetite changes; 82% felt angry; 97% felt insecure;
38% felt guilty; 47% were biting their nails; 76%
reported itching or feeling ill….<br class="">
<br class="">
A report last year by Save the Children on the impact
of 15 years of blockade and repeated conflicts on the
mental health of children in Gaza found their
psycho-social wellbeing had “declined dramatically to
alarming levels”.<br class="">
<br class="">
Children that the aid agency interviewed “spoke of
fear, nervousness, anxiety, stress and anger, and
listed family problems, violence, death, nightmares,
poverty, war and the occupation, including the
blockade, as the things they liked least in their
lives”.<br class="">
<br class="">
The report quoted António Guterres, the secretary
general of the UN, describing the lives of children in
Gaza as “hell on earth”. Children in Gaza ‘developing
severe trauma’ after 16 days of bombing, The Guardian<br
class="">
<br class="">
We tend to think of the survivors (of war) as the
“lucky ones”, but that is not always the case. When
you strip a child of all sense of personal security
and cast him into a world of uncertainty, violence and
death, his ability to feel joy or love or
self-fulfillment are greatly impaired. We think
Israeli war planners deliberately created the
conditions required for inflicting maximum
psychological damage on the Palestinians living in
Gaza. We don’t think there is anything ‘accidental’
about what we are seeing. We think this is the only
rational explanation for an erratic battle plan that
focuses less on beating the enemy than it does on
terrorizing the population. For Israel, driving the
Palestinians out of Gaza is simply not enough. They
want to ensure that their victims face years of
agonizing psychological pain until the day they die.<br
class="">
<br class="">
While we do not yet have sufficient data to accurately
assess the magnitude of the damage, we can safely say
that the ongoing massacre vastly exceeds any in the
past. For all practical purposes, Israel has destroyed
the lives of every man, woman and child in Gaza. But
when we see video of the wasteland Israel has created
– with the rubble extending in all directions– we
should remember that the psychological damage they
have inflicted is far greater. These are the invisible
wounds that will never heal and will thrust an entire
population into a world of chronic anxiety, depression
and despair.<br class="">
<br class="">
Israel alone is responsible for their suffering.<br
