Balance and timing of
violence over Gaza
Summary for May 2014:
Israel justifies its
constant violence in the Gaza Strip by claiming that it is simply responding to
Palestinian missile attacks. But the evidence suggests that Israel does its
best to provoke them. It should not be forgotten either that Israeli violence
and oppression against the Palestinian people is carried out in the whole of
Occupied Palestine – not just Gaza. The following report, compiled from from
the PHRC's daily newsletters In Occupied Palestine, is confined to the
events in the Gaza Strip solely in order to deal with Israeli propaganda over
the issue of Palestinian missile attacks.
There was no PMG report to
cover 11 May 2014. The figures presented below concern the remaining 30 days of
the month of May 2014:
Palestinian missile attacks on 5 days
Israeli attacks on 25 days
No Israelis injured or killed
10 Palestinians injured
• Palestinian missiles were fired
towards the Green Line on 4 separate days.
• According to
the Israeli Army, Palestinian missile attacks caused no death, injury or
damage.
• There were 52
Israeli attacks on 25 days this month and the Israeli Navy enforced a crippling
no-fishing zone on Palestinian fishing boats every day.
• There were 36
Israeli Army attacks on the Gaza Strip.
• There were 16
Israeli Navy attacks on Palestinian fishing boats.
• The Palestinian
people have no defence capability against overwhelming Israeli military superiority.
