JFXM : No words. #Gaza. Hamas is a Creation of Mossad. Thanks to the Mossad, Israel's "Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks", the Hamas was allowed to reinforce its presence in the occupied territories. Meanwhile, Arafat's Fatah Movement for National Liberation as well as the Palestinian Left were subjected to the most brutal form of repression and intimidationLet us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas.

According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, "Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)". Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Islamist movement in Palestine, returning from Cairo in the seventies, established an Islamic charity association. . © Copyright H ZEROUKY 2004.

JAAFAR ASHTIYEH/AFP/Getty Images A United Nations committee focused on youth rights accused Israel Thursday of failing to stop the mistreatment of Palestinian children in military and police custody. The group's report accuses Israeli forces of using Palestinian children as human shields, and alleges that detained children in some cases face torture, solitary confinement and threats of sexual assault. Assembled by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, the 21-page document comes three months after a UNICEF paper criticized the "systematic and institutionalized" mistreatment of Palestinian children detained by the Israeli military. The Israeli Embassy dismissed the latest U.N. report as politically motivated old news. © 2013 CBS Interactive Inc.

IDF's Gaza Assault is to Control Palestinian Gas, Avert Israeli Energy Crisis. Israel's defence minister has confirmed that military plans to 'uproot Hamas' are about dominating Gaza's gas reserves By Nafeez Ahmed July 11, 2014 "ICH" - "The Guardian" - - Yesterday, Israeli defence minister and former Israeli Defence Force (IDF) chief of staff Moshe Ya'alon announced that Operation Protective Edge marks the beginning of a protracted assault on Hamas. The operation "won't end in just a few days," he said, adding that "we are preparing to expand the operation by all means standing at our disposal so as to continue striking Hamas.

" This morning, he said: "We continue with strikes that draw a very heavy price from Hamas. We are destroying weapons, terror infrastructures, command and control systems, Hamas institutions, regime buildings, the houses of terrorists, and killing terrorists of various ranks of command… The campaign against Hamas will expand in the coming days, and the price the organization will pay will be very heavy. " But this is the tip of the iceberg.

במשטרה אומרים כי ככל הנראה מדובר בתקיפה על רקע לאומני. "בא אחד מכיוון נווה יעקב", סיפר מחפוז ל"הארץ", "ואמר תביא לי סיגריה, אמרתי לו שאין לי, הוא שמע שאני ערבי והלך וחזר אחרי שניות עם חברים שלו, אולי 12 אנשים. הם היו עם מקלות וברזלים והתחילו להרביץ לנו חזר על הראש", סיפר. מתיאור שמסרו לתחקירן האגודה לזכויות האזרח, חוסאם עבד, עולה שהתוקפים היו מצויידים במוט ברזל ובמחבט בייסבול. כאשר התברר שמצבם קשה, הם הועברו לבית החולים הדסה עין כרם. ממשטרת ירושלים נמסר בתגובה: "אתמול התקשרה אישה וסיפרה שהבחינה בשני בני מיעוטים ובמספר יהודים באזור והיא שמעה צעקות והבינה שיש תקיפה.

On The Lab: the Israeli Weapon and Security Industry. Since 9/11, the Israeli arms industries are doing bigger business than ever before. Large Israeli companies develop and test the vessels of future warfare, which is then sold worldwide by private Israeli agents, who manipulate a network of Israeli politicians and army commanders, while Israeli theoreticians explain to various foreign countries how to defeat civil and para-military resistance. All based on the extensive Israeli experience. The film reveals The Lab, which has transformed the Israeli military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank from a burden to a marketable, highly profitable, national asset. The European Union is Israel’s most important trading partner.

An increasingly important part of that trade is in goods and services of the defense and homeland security industries. These have become a pillar of Israel’s economy, and also play a big role in a number of EU countries. EU-Israel military co-operation is not confined to trade. More Information.

AllissonCD : This was Beit Hanoun's zoo. ... Americans' Reaction to Middle East Situation Similar to Past. PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans are divided in their views of whether Israel's actions against the Palestinian group Hamas is "mostly justified" or "mostly unjustified," but they widely view Hamas' actions as mostly unjustified. Those results are similar to what Gallup measured 12 years ago during another period of heightened Israeli-Palestinian violence, and they are consistent with Americans' generally more positive views of the Israelis than of the Palestinians.

The latest escalation of violence in the Middle East occurred after the militant Palestinian group Hamas captured and killed three Israeli students and a Palestinian teen was subsequently murdered in an alleged revenge killing. The tensions erupted into bombings, missile attacks, and armed conflict. The two sides have not agreed to a cease-fire so far despite the international community's efforts to end the fighting.

We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community! We want to scream and break this wall of silence, injustice and indifference like the Israeli F16s breaking the wall of sound; scream with all the power in our souls in order to release this immense frustration that consumes us because of this fucking situation we live in… There is a revolution growing inside of us, an immense dissatisfaction and frustration that will destroy us unless we find a way of canalising this energy into something that can challenge the status quo and give us some kind of hope.

We barely survived the Operation Cast Lead, where Israel very effectively bombed the shit out of us, destroying thousands of homes and even more lives and dreams. ENOUGH! Source:The Guardian: Free Gaza Youth Manifesto. Israeli police official refutes claim that Hamas kidnapped Israeli teens. The recent explosion of violence in Gaza may have been initially sparked by false or inaccurate claims, according to Israeli police. The ongoing conflict began last month when three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped from a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank. Their bodies were later discovered in a field outside the city of Hebron. Before police were able to determine who was responsible, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed blame for the tragic deaths squarely on Hamas, Gaza’s elected political leadership—an accusation that may prove to be false. On Friday, Chief Inspector Micky Rosenfeld, foreign press spokesman for the Israel Police, reportedly told BBC journalist Jon Donnisonhe that the men responsible for murders were not acting on orders of Hamas leadership.

Instead, he said, they are part of a “lone cell.” Further, Inspector Rosenfeld told Donnison that if Hamas’ leadership had ordered the kidnapping, “they'd have known about it in advance.” Faaz71 : En in al dit geweld wil ...

Her Palestinian father had just handed her to me at the infernal steel border building at the exit of Gaza into Israel. She did not cry. She just looked at me with her beady, dark eyes. Her father was trying both to open her pram, and steady his wounded wife in her wheel chair. Their luggage was scattered at the final entry gate as if just thrown through it. We shared no common language, it had just seemed inevitable that as the only other able-bodied human in this absurd transit room, I should care for the baby. I know not their story, nor how, alone seemingly, they were the only Palestinians, in that brief half-hour of Israeli aerial ceasefire, to have been allowed across.

But holding this girl baby connected me again to the wardfuls of small children so brutally smashed by this odious war.

Lib Dem David Ward refuses to apologise for Gaza tweet | Politics. The Liberal Democrat MP David Ward has refused to apologise for saying he would probably fire a rocket into Israel if he lived in Gaza, despite his party "utterly condemning" the comments. The Lib Dems said they would treat the comments as a disciplinary matter, a year after temporarily suspending Ward from the party for offensive remarks on the same subject.

Ward drew criticism after a tweet appeared on his feed saying: "The big question is - if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? - probably yes. " He added: "Ich bin ein #palestinian – the west must make up its mind – which side is it on? " The remarks were immediately criticised by fellow MPs, including the Tory chairman, Grant Shapps, who said they were an incitement to violence and "completely irresponsible". The Board of Deputies of British Jews said Clegg should throw Ward out of the party. The board said it was deeply concerned about Macmillan-Scott's comments and considered his subsequent tweeted apology wholly inadequate. ?

The tanks rolled in, killing over 1,300 people, many of them women and children, and reducing their homes, schools and hospitals to rubble.

But all I heard from the media was that some Israelis were very, very scared because a few primitive rockets were being sent from Gaza into southern Israel. Reporters were not allowed into Gaza and Israeli soldiers were banned from taking on mobile phones for security reasons. So the 2008/9 massacre, which included use of the banned White Phosphorus, went un-witnessed and almost unreported.

It also failed dismally in achieving its objective, as Hamas survived and the local population’s hatred of their arrogant oppressors burned as bright as the fires which consumed their homes. But for the “international community” it was “out of sight, out of mind”. What a difference a few years of developing technology can make. They are all on Twitter now, should you care to look.

Maze of Secret Gaza Tunnels Targeted by Israel Offensive. As Israeli soldiers stand guard, an excavator forces its way through the earth in an open area of the southern Gaza Strip, smashing through the concrete walls of an underground tunnel snaking its way under Israel’s border.

The military is distributing video footage about tunnels it says it’s discovered to press its case for the ground war Israel is waging in the Hamas-controlled territory. Its declared aim: to cripple the network of passages infiltrators built to burrow into Israel to kill or kidnap its citizens. While the Iron Dome missile defense system has proven largely successful at intercepting rockets launched from Gaza at Israel’s cites and towns, no such technology has proven similarly efficient at detecting underground passageways dug under the border. Israel sent ground troops into Gaza after air strikes failed to cripple the infiltration conduits, which militants used three times this month to slip into Israel, including today.

Nobel peace laureates and celebrities call for military embargo on Israel. An abridged version of this letter calling for the UN and governments to impose a military embargo on Israel was published in the Guardian on July 19 2014.

The letter is signed by six Nobel peace laureates: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Adolfo Peres Esquivel, Jody Williams, Mairead Maguire, Rigoberta Menchú and Betty Williams. Other signatories include Noam Chomsky, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, playwright Caryl Churchill, US rapper Boots Riley, João Antonio Felicio, the president of the International Trade Union Confederation, and Zwelinzima Vavi, the general secretary of the Confederation of South African Trade Unions.

Israel's defence minister is on record confirming that military plans to uproot Hamas' are about securing control of Gaza's gas reserves The conquest of Gaza is accelerating. Israel has now launched its ground invasion, bringing the Palestinian death toll to 260, 80% of whom are civilians. A further 1,500 have been wounded and 1,300 Palestinian homes destroyed.

Israel's goal, purportedly, is to "restore quiet" by ending Hamas rocket attacks on Israel.
