The visit of the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice comes two days after 44 heroes from 17 nations have broken the hermetic siege imposed on the Gaza Strip. This visit comes at a time after Israel has brutally murdered this year alone more than 660 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including 64 children and wounded more than 1500. Israel has also arrested more than 64 elected Palestinian Legislative Council members, city mayors and cabinet ministers. It also continues to detain 12000 political prisoners, including children and women.
The Palestinian people have already been under siege for the past two as collective punishment for exercising their democratic choice in elections in January 2006. Thanks to American unlimited support, Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into the largest concentration camp with the largest population of prisoners in the world. The deadly international conspiracy of silence towards the genocidal war taking place against the 1.3 million civilians in Gaza indicates complicity in these war crimes.
Like the courageous 44 human rights activists who have taken an unprecedented step against al odds, Rice should be visiting Gaza to experience first hand the daily horror of living under the Israeli medieval siege. These crimes against the civilian population are, however, seen by the neo-con American government as a necessary step towards the formation of the "New Middle East.”
Known for her defence of war crimes committed against Iraqis, Lebanese and Palestinians, Condoleeza Rice's place is behind bars. She is unwelcome in Palestine and should be boycotted by al Palestinians.
