>
> As psychologists we also drawattention to the impact of this and
> other attacks on Palestinians on thepsychological and social health
> and well-being of all sections of thepopulation, particularly
> children, the elderly and those with additionalvulnerabilities.
> UNRWA hasindicated very high and rising levels of severe
> psychological trauma,especially among children. The extreme
> constraints placed on the Palestinian healthservices, UNRWA and the
> various NGOs and civil society organisations can onlymake this
> situation far worse, despite the admirable and inspiring capacity
> ofthe Palestinian people to maintain and celebrate their cultural
> traditions.
>
>
> We do note that many Israelicitizens (at home and worldwide) are
> opposed to the policies and resultantviolence of their government.
> Moreover, the situation is also detrimental to the
> psychologicalwell-being of Israeli citizens, who are living in a
> context where threat of'the other' is used to instil fear and
> legitimise such abhorrent action.
>
> The massacre of civilians in Gaza is the latest, terrorist phase of
> a war thatsuccessive governments of Israel (supported by the USA and
> Britain) have beenwaging against the people of Palestine for more
> than 60 years, since Britain'sbotched abandonment of its mandate
> triggered the Palestinian Nakba of 1948. Thegoal of this war has
> never changed: to use overwhelming military power toeradicate the
> Palestinians as a political force capable of resisting
> Israel'songoing appropriation of Palestinian land and resources.
> CPUK believes that forthe sake of justice and global peace, the
> Israeli State must not be allowed toachieve this. Our belief in the
> right of the Palestinians to democraticself-determination, and to
> resist military aggression and colonial occupationmeans we stand
> with the people of Palestine, whether in Gaza, the West
> Bank,occupied Jerusalem or the pre-1967 boundaries of the State of
> Israel in theirstruggle against that racist, colonial State and its

> The blockade means a severeshortage of medicines and other vital

> werealready suffering from an acute shortage of fuel and supplies,
> with 54 percentof medical disposables and 28 percent of essential

>
> 80% of Gaza's population arerefugees or their descendants.

> The Gaza population of 1.7Million is confined in a small area, no
> bigger than the Isle of Wight. There is no escape from the
> missilesand naval bombardment, nor the frequent army incursions.
> There is clear evidence (for exampleBBC Radio 4 reports, 17 July)
> that Israel's claim to warn civilians of missileattacks is
> meaningless. UnlikeIsrael, the Palestinians do not have air raid
