Gazans prematurely incinerate on "Jihad mission"

A Gaza terror group said two of its members were killed while carrying out a “Jihad mission” on Tuesday. A spokesman for the An-Nasser Salah Ad-Din Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, said in a phone call: “Ahmad Abu Darb and Ibrahim Qatasha died while they were implementing a jihadi mission.” He did not explain the nature of the mission. Local sources said two people were killed in an unexplained explosion that set fire to a house north of Rafah… Continue

UN Jumps to Hold Kangaroo Court on Goldstone Report

The UN Human Rights Council will reopen the debate about alleged war crimes in Gaza later this week after Palestinians gathered enough support to call a special meeting, officials said Tuesday. The debate will start Thursday, a day after the UN Security Council in New York discusses the Goldstone report, which accuses Israel and Hamas of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during their December 27-January 18 war. Israel has furiously dismissed and discredited… Continue

Israel to swap 20 wannabe killers for Shalit tape

In a deal that may augur a breakthrough in the long captivity of IDF corporal Gilad Shalit, the Israeli security cabinet on Wednesday morning approved the release of 20 female Palestinian prisoners and detainees -- most of whom were involved in attempts to kill Israelis in one way or another. In return, Israel is expecting to receive a recent recording of Shalit, snatched by Palestinian infiltrators over three years ago near the border with Gaza, and held in isolation since… Continue

Peres: Goldstone report mocks history

President Shimon Peres on Wednesday lambasted the Goldstone Commission's report on Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, saying in a statement that the report "mocks history and fails to distinguish between aggressor and those acting in self-defense." Peres claimed the commission members would not have written such a report, which accuses Israel of war crimes, "had their children been living in Sderot, under the constant threat of Hamas rockets." The president blamed Hamas for laun… Continue

Israel rejects UN war crimes report, says it supports terror

Israel called the Goldstone Commission Report "nauseating" on Tuesday, saying it created an unjust "equivalence of a democratic state with a terror organization" and lacked the context of a decade of terrorist attacks by Hamas. The commission, established by the UN Human Rights Council and led by former South African constitutional court judge Richard Goldstone, concluded that "Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity," during Oper… Continue

Hamas enforces: Women, don't laugh! Men, don't swim topless!

Hamas has established Morality Units to supervise proper public behavior in Gaza. According to a member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Kayed Al-Ghoul: "Hamas in Gaza today maintains a type of tyranny... and seeks, through undemocratic means of coercion and despotism, to enact laws that enforce their ideology and their party's world-view on the entire Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip... Hamas enforces [wearing of] the h… Continue

Palestine - Pressure and Purges Panic Jordan

Jordan’s King Abdullah is fast beginning to realise the serious ramifications threatening the continued rule of the Hashemite family dynasty in Jordan resulting from the failure of negotiations over the last 16 years to create a new Arab state between Jordan and Israel - “the two state solution“. Jordan’s intensive diplomatic support for the “the two state solution” has come apart at the seams as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas - emboldened by comments made by President Obama - no… Continue

Palestine - Abbas Accelerates Into The Abyss

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has signed his own death warrant as the preferred Arab partner to negotiate the allocation of sovereignty in the West Bank between Arabs and Jews. His demise follows his failure - after being re-elected as Chairman of Fatah in Bethlehem this week - to propose or procure any changes to the constitution of that terrorist organization at its first convention held in the last 20 years. The constitution of Fatah presently calls for the destruction of Is… Continue

Palestine - Obama Must Focus On Jordan And Egypt

President Obama has already invested much personal time and considerable diplomatic resources in unsuccessfully pursuing former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton’s failed attempts to create an additional Arab State in the West Bank and Gaza - some 6% of former Palestine. In doing so President Obama has completely ignored the fact that another Arab State - today called Jordan - was established in 77% of former Palestine 63 years ago. President Obama needs to question why another Arab Stat… Continue

Bibi caves on IDF pullback from Arab cities. What next?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has collapsed under European and American pressure, ordering the IDF to withdraw from four Arab cities in the West Bank, removing roadblocks and effectively surrendering security control to the Palestinian Authority, without receiving anything in return. In the past, similar withdrawals have led in short order to roadside ambushes and suicide bombing attempts. In his visits to Italy and France last week, Netanyahu was pressured to toe the… Continue

US: The hell with Shalit -- give Hamas a free pass

The Obama Administration has stepped up pressure on Israel regarding the Gaza Strip, officially protesting Gaza policy three weeks ago and demanding more liberal policy on the border crossings. U.S. and Israeli sources say the note was followed by a verbal communication clarifying that the Obama administration believes that Israel's linkage of the case of abducted soldier Gilad Shalit and the opening of the crossings was "not constructive." The note was delivered to Israel… Continue

Clinton Faces Terror Funding Dilemma

As Palestinian rocket attacks against Israel continue despite the Israeli cease-fire, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will arrive today in Egypt to convene an international conference aimed at coordinating international aid for Gaza.

While Clinton and other world leaders contend aid to Gaza will not be transmitted directly to the Hamas-controlled regime in Gaza and will instead be transferred through the Palestinian Authority (PA) and/or the United Nations Relief a

Gaza - Cranky Ban Ki Engages In Hanky-Panky

The dust has settled temporarily in Gaza with at least one fact clearly established - a badly bloodied but unbowed or unrepentant Hamas still remains firmly entrenched in occupation and control of Gaza’s civilian population. Its estimated terrorist army of 20000 fighters pledged to bring about the destruction of Israel has only been reduced by 500 at the most - perhaps only by as few as 48 if you want to believe Hamas. Whilst the Hamas arsenal of rockets and mortars may have been seriously dep… Continue

Palestine - Bye Bye Bush, Onwards Obama

President Bush’s Roadmap has been unceremoniously dumped at the Senate Foreign Relations confirmation hearing nominating Senator Hillary Clinton to be America’s next Secretary for State. Amazingly not one mention was specifically made by Ms Clinton of the Roadmap or its VIP quartet of sponsors - America, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations - in the 63 pages of the transcript of the proceedings published 13 January 2009. Indeed not one of the Senators present even asked a question… Continue

Egypt and Jordan - Lifelines to Gaza and West Bank

The growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza is slowly leading to the realization that removal of Hamas and its 20000 terrorist army from there has become a fundamental priority in permanently ending the suffering of Gaza’s civilian population. This understanding has been complemented by the acknowledgment that the Palestinian Authority has been reduced to the status of a political eunuch following 1. its failure to achieve any breakthrough in 15 years of fruitless negotiations with Israel and 2.… Continue

Hamas TV: Jews are enemies of Allah, should be killed
