When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Mideast papers on Gaza

Image


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7803050.stm

Commentators in the West Bank-based Palestinian press are united in dismay at the Israeli operation in Gaza, condemning it as an "ugly massacre".

Some also voice their fury at what they see as the inaction of the region's Arab states and the West's support for Israel, while one commentator fears the operation will only drive more of Gaza's young men into the arms of radical Islamists.

In Israel, press commentators are broadly supportive of the army operation, and insist that it is up to Hamas to stop the violence, by ending firing of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. One writer, however, disagrees, terming the operation a "crime against humanity".

EDITORIAL IN PALESTINIAN AL-QUDS

As the Arab and international silence continues, the credibility of Europe, the United States and the Arab regimes is collapsing. It is becoming very clear that the Palestinians are required to be a broken people... However, they forget that the many massacres to which our people in the Gaza Strip have been exposed will only increase their steadfastness.

BASIM ABU-SAMMIYA IN AL-HAYAT AL-JADIDAH

The Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip is an ugly massacre. However, the public protests by the Arab countries are not enough on their own. We have become used to being massacred and to dying under the rubble while hearing statements of condemnation and the commotion of demonstrations. However, after a day or two they disappear only to leave the sounds of shells and missiles.

KHALID AL-HARRUB IN AL-AYYAM

What is happening now is the ideal situation for the recruitment of the angry young men who feel collectively insulted. The picture that the Islamists on the streets are painting is that Israel, supported by the West, is waging a war of extermination against the Palestinian people as powerless Arab regimes watch idly.

SAMIH SHBEIB IN AL-AYYAM

The main objective of the Israeli operation is not to destroy Hamas's rule [in Gaza], because this would entail a land invasion and lengthy occupation of the Gaza Strip. What it wants is to deal Hamas and the resistance a painful and effective blow in the Gaza Strip, in order to weaken the resistance and force it to accept a truce according to Israel's conditions.

EITAN HABER IN YEDIOT AHARONOT

This is a strange, unique war. It has no defined borders. There is no occupation and no victory. It could end in an hour or in a year. The way in which it develops will be dictated to a large extent by the Palestinians: They stop firing, we will also stop firing. They'll continue? Their end will be bitter.

BEN KASPIT IN CENTRE-RIGHT MA'ARIV

The ground operations are due at some point. At some point it will be possible to take control of territory in Gaza and effect great damage. Hamas can halt the whole affair at any given moment if it agrees to renew the truce on acceptable terms. Meanwhile, Hamas is conveying stubbornness.

JONATHAN GEFFEN IN CENTRE-RIGHT MA'ARIV

Just like in the first days of the Second Lebanon War, we are again in euphoria. The media, like then, is full of prattle about the morality of the war. Have we not learned that every war, no matter how justified, is a crime against humanity? Most of the public is united around the only consensus we have ever had: war and bereavement, Holocaust and disasters.

EDITORIAL IN LEFT-OF-CENTRE HA'ARETZ

Re-establishing the ceasefire on better terms and with better supervision is a reasonable goal. Toppling the Hamas regime, or eradicating the last rocket factory where the last Hamas member is making the last Qassam rocket, are not reasonable goals, in part because they are unachievable without a prolonged presence on the ground in Gaza.

ALEX FISHMAN IN CENTRIST YEDIOT AHARONOT

In order to stop the firing [of rockets] there is a need to reach a settlement, and in order to convince Hamas to reach a settlement we are now breaking its bones - in part to ensure that the price it demands is not high. However, we have not yet decided what price we are ready to pay. It is worth our while to decide quickly so that others may not decide for us.

ANALYSIS-Gaza carnage brakes Syria-Israel peace moves


Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:09am EST

By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent

BEIRUT, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Israel's assault on Gaza has prompted Syria to rule out an early resumption of indirect peace talks, without killing off Syrian interest in an eventual deal.

"Certainly for a period of time it changes the mood, the public rhetoric and the tensions, but in the end it doesn't change the strategic options of any of the players," said Paul Salem, director of the Carnegie Institute's Middle East Centre.

Arab and Muslim fury aroused by Israeli air raids on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has made it impossible to pick up the talks, Syria and mediator Turkey say.

"It is not possible to carry on the negotiations under these conditions," Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said on Monday as the Gaza death toll rose above 300 in three days of bombing.

Israel says it is trying to halt cross-border rocket attacks that intensified after a six-month, Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Hamas expired on Dec. 19. The Islamist group blames the truce's demise on Israeli attacks and a tight blockade of Gaza.

Without mentioning the already suspended talks, a Syrian official declared on Sunday that Israel's action in Gaza "closes the door on the movement for a peaceful political settlement".

Salem said such reactions were predictable, but argued that progress on the Israeli-Syrian track would depend on whether the next Israeli prime minister decides to pursue it and on how seriously U.S. President-elect Barack Obama backs the effort.

Israel holds a parliamentary election on Feb. 10 to find a replacement for its caretaker prime minister, Ehud Olmert, who resigned in September. Obama will be sworn in on Jan. 20.

"I think the Syrians would respond seriously to a serious Israeli approach," Salem said, adding that he expected an Obama administration to take the Israeli-Syria peace track seriously. "The events in Gaza do not fundamentally impact that logic."

Syria has held four indirect rounds of talks with Israel in Turkey this year, but these were put on hold after Olmert quit.

While still under U.S. sanctions, Syria has regained some European approval after backing a peace pact for Lebanon and forging diplomatic ties with the neighbour it once dominated.



DUAL POLICY

Yet at the same time, it has kept up its longstanding alliance with Iran and support for Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas and Palestinian groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said last week that the Turkish-brokered drive could lead to direct talks and a peace deal if Israel relinquished the Golan Heights, captured in 1967, and the United States came on board as a sponsor.

Washington has remained aloof since U.S.-supervised negotiations between the two countries collapsed in 2000 over the scope of a proposed Israeli withdrawal from the Golan.

"The Syrians have always had the double language and played both games," said London-based Middle East expert Nadim Shehadi. Damascus, along with Hezbollah and Hamas, was exploiting the Gaza crisis to accuse its Arab rivals -- especially Saudi Arabia and Egypt -- of complicity in a perceived drive to subordinate the region to U.S.-Israeli hegemony.

"All the anti-Syrian front is in a corner," he said, naming Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora among Arab leaders embarrassed by Gaza's torment.

Syria may indeed be using its ties with Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas to try to lever Israel to the negotiating table, dangling the prospect that it might loosen those links as part of a deal.

Israelis are sharply split over whether it is worth pursuing peace with Syria, which would involve returning the Golan, annexed by Israel in 1981 in a move rejected internationally.

Advocates of doing a deal with Syria perceive Assad "as a responsible and serious neighbour you can do business with", columnist Aluf Benn wrote in Israel's Haaretz daily recently.

Olmert and Defence Minister Ehud Barak were among those who "dream of a new Middle East in which Syria disengages from Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas, and links up with Israel and the United States in return for an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan and 'special status' (renewed control) in Lebanon," Benn added.

Opponents say Syria has nothing to offer Israel that would justify the military, economic and psychological costs of giving up the Golan plateau, home to 20,000 Israeli settlers.

"A peace treaty with Syria does not improve the strategic situation. Nothing beats the status quo," wrote Efraim Inbar, professor of political studies at Israel's Bar-Ilan University, in the English-language Jerusalem Post newspaper.

At least 30 children killed in Gaza Strip, Israeli spokesperson says they are legitimate target


29.12.08 - 18:54

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?s ... de&u=at1aX


Gaza / PNN – Not only are children in the Gaza Strip losing their parents, missing food, medicines and school, they are being killed.

Israeli forces took the lives of at least 30 children in Gaza since air attacks began on Saturday. A statement issued by the Global Movement for the Defense of Children says its initial reports indicate that another 150 children are injured.

The first children hit en masse were during struck during the beginning of the attacks when they were leaving school. Dozens of school children were raced to area hospitals in Gaza City on Saturday. Among the children killed are the sisters in Jabaliya yesterday and the eight year old boy today in Khan Younis.

The British university movement to boycott Israel wrote in their petition, "'Children,' says an Israeli spokeswoman, 'are legitimate targets because if they inhabit a house allegedly being used to manufacture home-made rockets to fire into Israel, they are 'terrorists' themselves.'"

The international children’s agency Global Defense for Children called today on the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session. The UNSC has yet to take effective action to force Israel to stop its aggression or apply previous UN resolutions, which include an end to occupation.

Defense for Children asked that the European Union and its member states seek to for the application of the rules of international humanitarian law. The Israeli administration has a poor record internationally when it comes to Palestinian children with at least 300 in its prisons.

The EU is under heavy pressure by humanitarian organizations to impose sanctions on Israel and to cease all diplomatic relations.

At the same time the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions are obliged to respect and enforce the convention as stated in Article I. Those who violate it are subject to criminal charges of crimes against humanity. The Global Defense for Children noted today that the individual criminal responsibility does not become obsolete and that at some point all will be prosecuted.

Israel presses on with Gaza attacks, rejects truce

By Nidal al-Mughrabi
Reuters
Tuesday, December 30, 2008; 3:16 AM

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel rejected any truce with Hamas Islamists on Tuesday and said it was ready for "long weeks of action" on a fourth day of the fiercest air offensive in the Gaza Strip in decades.

As Israeli armored vehicles and troops were massed along the border for a possible invasion, Israeli warplanes pressed on with strikes, killing 12 Palestinians, including a pair of sisters, aged 10 and 12, in attacks on Hamas targets.

Medical officials put the total Palestinian death toll since Israel launched its offensive on Saturday as Gaza gunmen stepped up rocket fire, at 348 and more than 800 wounded. A United Nations agency said at least 62 of the dead were civilians.

The latest Israeli attacks came hours after rockets fired by Gazan militants killed an Israeli soldier near the border with Gaza and a civilian in the city of Ashdod.

With six weeks to go to an election that polls suggest the hawkish right-wing Likud party will win, Israel's centrist government says the offensive aims to put a stop to the rockets.

Israeli Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit said "there is no room for a ceasefire" with Hamas before the threat of rocket fire has been removed. "The Israeli army must not stop the operation before breaking the will of the Palestinians, of Hamas, to continue to fire at Israel," he told Israel Radio.

The Israeli military "has made preparations for long weeks of action," added Matan Vilnai, a deputy defense minister, in separate broadcast remarks.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum has urged Palestinian groups to respond using "all available means" against Israel, including "martyrdom operations," meaning suicide bombings.

Israeli missiles flattened five ministerial buildings and a structure belonging to the Islamic University in Gaza City on Tuesday, witnesses said.

Another strike in northern Gaza's Beit Hanoun, killed two young girls taking out the trash near their home, medical workers and witnesses said. Later a security man was killed in a strike on a headquarters in Khan Yunis, medics and Hamas said.

EXPLOSIONS ECHOED

A Hamas sports center and two training camps belonging to the group were also destroyed in the attacks, which plunged Gaza into a blackout as explosions echoed across the city.


Israeli aircraft also fired missiles at the home of a senior commander in Hamas's armed wing. He was not home. Another attack targeted offices belonging to the Popular Resistance Committees militant group.

Broadening their targets to include the Hamas government in Gaza, Israeli warplanes on Monday bombed the Interior Ministry, which supervises 13,000 members of the group's security forces. The building had been evacuated and there were no casualties.

Hamas, an Islamist movement that took over the Gaza Strip in 2007 after routing Fatah forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas, defied the Israeli assaults, the fiercest in the coastal territory since the 1967 Middle East war.

Rocket fire from Gaza at Israel intensified immediately after Hamas declared the end of a six-month-old Egyptian-brokered truce on December 19.

The rockets caused few casualties, but damaged buildings and sparked panic in towns along the Gaza border. Since Israel's offensive began, four Israelis have been killed by rockets fired from Gaza, including three on Monday.

Israel kept schools for thousands of pupils within a radius of about 30 km (18 miles) from the Gaza border, citing concerns about further rocket fire. Residents were told to remain indoors and on the alert for alarms heralding incoming rockets.

Most Gazans in the territory of 1.5 million people, one of the most densely populated on earth, have stayed home, in rooms away from windows that could shatter in blasts from air strikes on Hamas facilities.

Israel declared areas around the Gaza Strip a "closed military zone," citing the risk from Palestinian rockets, and ordered out journalists observing a build-up of armored forces.

Excluding the press could help Israel conceal preparations for a ground incursion following an air campaign that has turned buildings to rubble and left hospitals struggling to cope.

Israel has said it would allow more aid trucks into Gaza. Dozens of trucks loaded with goods were seen heading to Gaza crossings early on Tuesday.

Still not convinced Israel is fucked in the head?

Now Israel is rejecting a Truce? They have gone off the deep end now.

It's one thing to feel shame in being humiliated, but now Israel is about to embarrass themselves worst than they did in the Lebanon war with Hezbollah. Sad days ahead for Israel.

it should be sad days for hamas

for every one rocket fired into Israel 10 should come back. Hamas has brought this upon themselves.

Anyway, Hamas doesn't want a peace with Israel. So why put up with a truce aimed only to allow Hamas built up a weapons stockpile.

Now what about the Palestinian Fatah fraction which has denouced bombs and all forms of terrorism to seeks though peace their objectives of a country with Jerusalem as its capital.

Israel needs to move quickly on that issue to reward peaceful movements as it quashes Hamas for good!

And Syria, it supplies weapons to Hesbolla. So who really cares.

I don't

This is for those here that have no idea what the fuck they are talking about, who need a slight history lesson on what and why Gaza is the way it is and where Israel came from in the first place.

This is about as close to accurate as you are going to get from the American media.




Gaza: Crucible of conflict


By CNN's Peter Wilkinson


http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/12/30/gaza.profile/

(CNN) -- Life for Gazans has not been easy and the misery has only deepened amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group which rules Gaza.

Gaza is a tiny strip of land that lies between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most densely populated places on Earth, with an estimated 1.5 million Palestinians living there. Unemployment runs at 49 percent and 80 percent live on less than $2.30 per day, according to the United Nations.

Eight British human rights groups this year issued a report saying "the situation is worse now than it has ever been since the start of the Israeli military occupation in 1967."

The report, "The Gaza Strip: A Humanitarian Implosion," heavily criticized Israel's economic blockade of Gaza, which bars many people and goods from leaving or entering the territory. The action had imposed extreme hardships throughout the 360-square kilometer (139 square-mile) territory, said the groups which include Oxfam, Christian Aid and Save the Children UK.

The report described a society choked by isolation, crippled by poverty, unemployment, economic collapse, deteriorating access to health care, and crumbling basic services. Video Watch looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza »

"As a result of the blockade and collapse of the economy, there is little money to buy food and limited food to buy. Food prices are rising and wheat flour, baby milk, and rice, among other essential goods, are increasingly scarce," the report said.

Israel rejected the report saying it was not to blame for the crisis and pointed the finger at Hamas. Read a timeline showing how Hamas evolved

Sanctions aimed at weakening Hamas have severely hampered Gaza's economy, which is largely based on agriculture. Photo See photos of Gaza in crisis »

While many of Gaza's recent economic problems have been connected to the 2000 intifada, or uprising against Israel, and the resulting crackdown by the Jewish state, the underlying poverty stretches back even further, to the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Gaza was part of the Ottoman Empire until World War I. It then came under British control. In 1947, the UN recommended partitioning the British mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. The Jews accepted the resolution, but the Arabs opposed it.

Jewish settlers declared the formation of the state of Israel in 1948 and surrounding Arab nations invaded. During the war, Egypt gained control of Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees fled Israeli-controlled territory and many ended up in refugee camps in Egyptian-controlled Gaza.

In 1950, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) began administering aid and social services to these refugees.

Israel took control of Gaza during the Six-Day War in 1967, which marked the beginning of a long Israeli occupation.

In 1994, Gaza became partly autonomous as a result of the Oslo Peace Accords. A Palestinian government was elected in 1996 but many issues remained unresolved, leading to violence between Israel and Palestinians and even Palestinians and Palestinians.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, but has maintained control over much of the territory's borders along with its territorial waters and airspace.

Israel imposed an economic blockade after Hamas seized control of the territory from its secular rival, Fatah in 2007. Israel tightened those sanctions because of ongoing rocket fire at Israeli towns, it said. Meanwhile, Egypt also sealed its crossing with Gaza.

The tightened controls made it difficult for food, water, medical supplies and other essentials to reach the population. International aid has kept the Palestinian economy afloat during the years of violence. The World Bank estimates that the West Bank and Gaza received almost $1 billion a year in international economic aid to alleviate hardship.

Under an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire in June, Hamas agreed to stop rocket fire in return for Israel easing the blockade. The truce, which was always shaky, expired December 19.

There are renewed concerns about the people of Gaza, following the new outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Hamas. And there is no end in sight: Israel says its operation will continue until Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel while Hamas has vowed to defend Gaza in the face of what it calls continued Israeli aggression.

That's right folks, Hamas kept their part of the deal up until the 19th of December. Israel dropped the first bomb and LIED about Hamas setting up rocket launchers.

There are plenty of lies coming out of Israels administration.

Do your research.


I did mine.

And you all should care about it.

It's how 911 happened in the first place. (with the help of the Bush administration turning a blind eye.)

This can and will happen again if these lies and murders that Israel continues keeps being perpetuated.

Dont care? You will when catastrophe happens again in the U.S. because people in America could care less.

Israel is wrong and this conflict will spread like wildfire all over the place.

Well maybe not to Canada. Definitely to the States.

You should care and I shouldn't. I wont be here in the states when shit hits the fan.

No, I don't think so, they all look pretty much the same.

And then the little light bulb went on.

Doh!!

Very good ygmir, now it is you I bow my head to :lol:

Several people here ignored the facts posted for many years.

They are not on eplaya any more, not that I can blame them.

If I were as stupid as they, I would not be on eplaya either.

This is a very serious topic, and you blow it off.

It's fine because, the inevitable will happen just like I said it would several years ago. It WILL happen again.

hey, who knows, maybe this time it will actually affect you.
