Israel issued its response to the UN Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead in Gaza this week. The final report was released on September 15, 2009. Israel refused to cooperate with this fact finding mission and continues to respond with “hysterical” accusations on the accuracy of the report and publicly misrepresents the findings of the mission. In this show Goldstone’s speech at Brandeis University is revisited to clarify what the report does contain and to address some of the attacks on his statements and the report itself.

Amnesty International’s briefing paper Suffocating: The Gaza Strip under Israeli blockade gathers testimony from people still struggling to rebuild their lives following Operation “Cast Lead”, which killed around 1,400 Palestinians and injured thousands more.

Ali Abunimah is editor of the Electronic Intifada and was among the 1400 people, from 42 countries, who recently came together in the Gaza Freedom March. He describes in detail the efforts to gain access to the area, the difficulties with Israel’s and Egypt’s unwillingness to comply with international law, why Egypt has tightened the siege and the Gazans’ continuous suffering under inhumane conditions. He argues why Israel’s use of human suffering to achieve political goals can be categorized as terrorism as defined by the United States.
