Al-Jazeera Video: The Listening Post - Gaza media blackout - 28 Nov 08

COMMENT: A very good video. This unprecedented total blackout of news from Gaza, now three-weeks old, is very ominous.

The Israeli objective may very well be not just to obscure the humanitarian disaster caused by the Israeli siege. It could very well be a preparation for a much delayed and threatened massive invasion of Gaza by Israel. The blackout is intended to provide the IOF with the opportunity to literally slaughter thousands of Gaza civilians in a new blitzkrieg, while no one is watching. The massacres in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon, under the direction of Israeli forces with no one watching, come to mind.

I have a gut feeling that something very terrible is about to happen in Gaza. As January 9 approaches, the IOF will try to invade Gaza and to restore their stooge Abbas in it. As in Iraq, siege and starvation is always a prelude to invasion.
