[stirling-palestinedirectaction] Fw: PSC Update - Remember Gaza, End the Siege Now!

Hi All
The attached contains a number of articles which illustrate the nature of the state of Israel. The one about the woman working in support of UNICEF conveys the deluded mindset of the unthinking, unseeing racist. Her picture says it all.
All the Best

                              "In an email sent on 21 November to a member of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the BBC Complaints Department explained in some detail how the broadcaster had gone out of its way to lay the blame for the violence of the previous eight days on the Palestinians."

                        Israeli elections committee bans Haneen Zoabi, a Palestinian elected to the Knesset and representing the Balad party, from standing in the elections. "Our problem is not that we are terrorists but rather that we are democrats in an environment that does not believe in democracy," said Jamal Zahalka, leader of Balad. Haneen Zoabi is the only Palestinian woman sitting in the Knesset, and the attacks on her significantly increased following her participation in the First Freedom Flotilla to Gaza. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/19/haneen-zoabi-disqualified-re-election-knesset
