At the time I thought this was Gregorian Chant – but given that Greece is an Orthodox country – this analysis cannot be correct. Therefore, my question is this – did Pope Gregory I (540-604 CE) copy an already existing Orthodox Christian (monastic) practice – falsely claiming he had invented it – presenting this to the world as the Catholic practice of “Gregorian Chant”?
It was none other than the U.S. and western countries that cooked up a brigandish decision on building an Arab State and a Jewish State – by dividing Palestine at the Second Session of the UN General Assembly in November 1947 – whilst that decision instigated the Zionists’ ambition for territorial expansion by handing over a large amount of redundant WWII weaponry after the “founding” of the State of Israel.
Even when Israel brutally suppressed the just struggle of the Palestinian people while resorting to the expansion of Jewish Settlements by blockading the Gaza Strip, the U.S. and the West supported Israel, playing the role of blind and deaf mute.
The double standards of the U.S. and the West patronizing Israel are becoming more apparent with the Middle East conflict acting as this policy’s sounding board.
BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — Amid a global outcry for peace, the United States has once again pitted itself against the international community by vetoing a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
At the Security Council’s meeting on the Israel-Palestine issue, the resolution — submitted by the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations (UN) Security Council on Friday — received overwhelming support from 13 of the 15 Security Council members, with Britain abstaining. The United States is the only member to vote against it.
Ahmed Saleh, a rescue-worker with the Civil Defense Service, said that they sometimes asked people: “Did you hear an explosion nearby?” Saleh points out to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “those injured amid the communications outage were unable to communicate,” which represented a greater threat to them. Saleh adds, “Before that, despite the poor quality of the communications network, we were able to receive communications from the wounded, their families, relatives, or neighbours.” But it shows that during the night of Friday and Saturday, anxiety prevailed in the situation, as they did not know “who was martyred and who was injured.”
The death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip and West Bank has totaled 1,448, while 6,868 others were wounded, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Health Ministry on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Israel’s public broadcaster Kan said the Israeli death toll had risen to more than 1,300.
Israel cut off its power supply to the Gaza Strip and ordered a complete siege on the Palestinian enclave, home to over 2.2 million people.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Thursday that at least 340,000 Palestinians have been displaced since the escalation on Saturday.
“The water crisis is looming in UNRWA shelters and throughout Gaza due to the lack of electricity needed to operate pumps and water desalination plants and the limited water supply in the local market,” added the UN agency.
Meanwhile, the impoverished and poorly armed Palestinians continue to fight back in small but persistant ways. Yes – they die in their thousands – but they bury their dead and they fight on regardless! The Palestinians receive no help and no justice – but every single Palestinian is sure that their cause is just and that victory will eventually be theirs! In wars started and supported by the West – people die. If the West wants fewer Zionists killed in their proxy war – then the US should give the order for Zionists to stop killing Palestinians! Until this happens, the Palestinians will continue to carry out brave military actions against overwhelming odds – and occasionally win – as we see above!
