Crossing points into Gaza have been shut down for almost two weeks,
forcing the only power plant there to stop functioning, due to the lack
of fuel. Last week, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency ran out of
food and stopped rations’ deliveries to 750,000 residents of
Gaza.

Though the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is now immanent, Western media
refrains from reporting about the emerging disaster. Apparently, there
are far more interesting things to write about, much more interesting
than millions of Palestinians who are being starved by the Jewish
state.

However the press was kind enough to report that British foreign minister
David Miliband spent some time in Israel this week. He had been very
concerned with issues concerning the Avocado and other ethical grocery
matters. He wanted to propose a clearer method of labeling food products
that are sourced in the occupied west bank and sold to consumers in
Britain.  This could as well be an opportunity for Britain and the
EU to restrain Israel’s lethal enthusiasm, but Miliband failed short, far
too short. At the end of the day, Miliband is what you may call a grocery
humanist.  His ethical thinking is orientated around nutrition and
ethical digestion. This is apparently the most deteriorated and probably
the lowest form of left thinking. At least I really want to believe that
left cannot go any lower than that.

Yet, Miliband is a dynamic person. Due to the escalation of violence
in the region, he visited Sderot, accompanied by Israeli defense minister
Barak.  Bluntly he supported the Israeli criminal policies by

saying  “Israel should, above all, seek to protect its own
citizens,” as if this is not enough, he continued, “I’m here today
because Sderot has become the front line of Israel’s security. It’s very
important that countries like mine and others show solidarity with the
people of Sderot and that’s what I’m doing today.” Ostensibly, Miliband
didn’t visit Gaza. He also didn’t mention that countries like his should
show ‘solidarity’ with millions of dispossessed Palestinian refugees that
are now shelled and starved to submission.  Though Miliband
sincerely cares about Avocados and ethical nutrition, millions of
Palestinians who are left to eat sand do not seem to concern him at
all.

However, Miliband couldn’t stay in the region for too long, as he has to
rush back home. In London he is supposed to meet no less than the Israeli
President Mr. Shimon Peres, the elder politician who was the pioneer of
the Israeli Nuclear project. The man who introduced WMD to the middle
east, the man who has more

blood on his hands than any other living Israeli politician (except
vegetable Sharon).  Miliband should be in London in time so he can
join President Peres and unveil a special plaque at the Foreign Office,
honoring British diplomats who helped save Jews during the
Holocaust.

I wonder how many British Diplomats will  be honored for saving a
single Palestinian kid within the current Israeli inflicted
Holocaust?  If there are any British politicians and diplomats,
Clearly, Miliband  would not be one of them. Reading what he had to
say to the people of Sderot, he is no less than an enthusiastic supporter
of the Israeli institutional crimes against humanity.

Meanwhile, President Peres is having a good time in London this week. In
the framework of his visit, he will hold a round of meetings with the
Queen, Crown Prince Charles, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, David Miliband;
and the leader of the opposition, David Cameron.

He will be awarded a Knight Grand Cross, the sixth-most senior award in
the British system, used to honor individuals who have rendered important
services in relation to foreign nations. Seemingly, in Britain, killing
innocent Lebanese civilians and starving millions in Gaza must be
considered as an “important service”. In Belgium, on the other hand, a
very similar activity   is considered a

crime against humanity.

President Peres will also receive an honorary degree from Kings College
for his efforts  “furthering peace in the Middle East”.  I
think that considering Peres’ usage of ballistic technology against
innocent civilians, a PhD in physics may be more appropriate.

On the face of it, at the time the Jewish state is exercising the most
devastating forms of crimes against humanity, the British Government, the
British Parliament, the royal family and a major British academic
institute are all caught together in bed with no less than a nuclear
enthusiast butcher.

I am rather impressed.  More than ever I am proud to be British.
Such an embracing openness towards wickedness is probably the ultimate
form of British kindness and forgiveness. This is something I have never
seen in my homeland.  Looking at Parliament, Miliband and the Royal
family I must admit, I have much to learn about compassion before I
become a genuine British subject.
