The Meaning of Obama’s Symbol
Islam has many signs of the last days, many are in the Hadith and some are the sayings of Muhammed. The sun rising comes into play from time to time and this is a very important prediction to many Muslims who know Islamic prophecy … “The hour (the last days) will not come until the sun rises from the west... … when the people see it, then those who are on earth will believe … that is a time when belief will not profit a soul who did not believe before the time.
Islamic commentary states that one interpretation of the above prediction is that the sun or the light of Islam, the truth of Islam according to them, will shine in the western nations and be received well …
Another interpretation from Islamic commentary is that the sun is a messenger, a person, a leader, who will come out of the western nations and not only be positive toward Islam, but help promote Islam and protect and defend Islam and eventually many will be converted to it.
Louis Farrakhan believes the second interpretation. He tried to paint himself as the messenger who was that sun who would rise in the west. However, in the 1974 Savior’s Day address the Hon. Elijah Muhammed, said “You are witnessing the setting of one sun, and the rising of another.” Then Louis Farrakhan made this statement while speaking to a group of young people prior to the election of Obama and he was talking about his friend Obama, he said “you are the instrument that God is going to use to bring about universal change and that is why Barack has captured the youth and he has involved young people in the political process that they didn’t care anything about … that’s a sign, when the messiah speaks the youth will hear and the messiah is absolutely speaking.”
Obama’s logo, instead of the presidential seal, is the letter O with the sun rising … representing hope. The Obama seal that you see everywhere is the sun rising.
If I was a Muslim anywhere in the world, looking at that logo, I would understand that the last letter in his name is in the shape of an O, which is the same sun shape and he puts a sun in the middle with a new road coming across, I would immediately say, “wow, the sun is rising in the west.”
Most Americans would say they don’t care, it’s just a symbol, but they fail to understand the power of symbolism. If I were to show you a swastika, you would be disgusted. Symbolism is significant. So it’s safe to say Obama’s symbol could be a cryptic kind of message to the Islamic world, that “I will stand with you, you have someone who will stand with you and stand behind you and not be negative or create wars in your country.
Another new logo appeared in 2010. A new logo for the missile system in the United States. The new missile defense system logo is very similar, oddly enough, to the Obama campaign logo. You have what almost looks like an O with the same 3 stripes, instead of going downward, they are now going upward. Their job is to test missiles to defend the US and it’s allies. But what is interesting is it doesn’t look like a sun, it looks like a crescent and the crescent is the universal emblem of Islam.

It goes bump in the night!
Rocket terror continues: Three rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel Saturday evening, security officials said.
Two rockets landed in open areas in the Ashkelon Beach regional council. Another rocket exploded in the Gaza Strip.
A fourth rocket alert turned out to be a false alarm. No injuries or damage were reported in the strikes.
A few hours later, overnight, Palestinian sources reported airstrikes east of Gaza City. The sources say massive damage was done to a cement factory and that the explosions could be heard throughout the Strip.
Before the strike witnesses heard aircraft in the skies above Gaza. No injuries were reported. The military confirmed the reports.
In recent days there has been a certain escalation of attacks around the Strip. On Tuesday, the Air Force struck a terror cell engaged in final preparations for launching a rocket at Israel. The Palestinian said two people were killed in the strike and another man sustained moderate wounds. No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the attempted rocket strike, but sources in the Strip said the casualties were members of a Salafi group associated with al-Qaeda that does not accept Hamas' authority. -ytnetnews Just like any other sovereign country Israel has a right to protect its population which has a diverse ethnic population from Arabs to Jews.

Return of the Living Dead
April 10, 2010 22:00 by ManagingTeam
A March 30 report from the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency claimed that a Palestinian teen had been killed by the IDF, a charge subsequently denied by the IDF.
According to the original Ma’an report:
The AFP along with the Arab press, while including IDF denials, omitted the important information above squarely placing the emphasis on the IDF. In addition, the AFP’s headline read: “Palestinian teen killed as Israelis fire on Gaza protests”, leaving little doubt as to who was likely responsible for the death.
Only a few days later, however, Ma’an reported:
The BBC, NY Times and AFP covered the apparent happy ending to this story although they failed to question Egypt’s treatment of the Palestinian teenagers. However, the entire incident raises many more questions concerning the reporting.
Reliable Palestinian Sources?
In the past, so many initial and unsubstantiated news reports have turned into libels that have caused immense damage to Israel’s image. Many of these, including the case of Muhammad al-Dura, are covered in our interactive Big Lies presentation.
It was some time before it was conclusively proved that al-Dura’s apparent death was not caused by Israeli bullets. In the meantime, he became the poster child for the wave of Palestinian violence and terror and the international anti-Israel demonization campaign.
What if Muhammad Al-Farmawi had not turned up alive only days after his reported death? This story illustrates just how easy it is to pin the blame on Israel and to create negative and damaging headlines.
We hope that the media have learned a valuable lesson from this incident.
April 10, 2010 22:00 by ManagingTeam
A March 30 report from the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency claimed that a Palestinian teen had been killed by the IDF, a charge subsequently denied by the IDF.
According to the original Ma’an report:
Muawiya Hassanein, director of ambulance and emergency services in Gaza, said Muhammad Zen Ismail Al-Farmawi, 15, was shot dead near the southeasterly border by Israeli forces, while local sources who wished to remain anonymous said the death may have been an internal matter.The story was picked up by a number of mainstream media outlets, including the BBC, New York Times, CNN and UPI. These outlets did, however, include the doubts over the information. The NY Times, for example stated that “it was unclear who was responsible for the death” and that there were ”questions about whether he [the Palestinian teen] could have been the victim of internal violence.”
Hassanein said ambulances had been unable to retrieve the body because of ongoing clashes in the area, while an Israeli military spokesman said he had no knowledge of the incident.
The AFP along with the Arab press, while including IDF denials, omitted the important information above squarely placing the emphasis on the IDF. In addition, the AFP’s headline read: “Palestinian teen killed as Israelis fire on Gaza protests”, leaving little doubt as to who was likely responsible for the death.
Only a few days later, however, Ma’an reported:
It turns out Al-Farmawi was among 17 Palestinians detained by Egyptian forces shortly after they infiltrated the Egyptian side of Rafah via one of Gaza’s numerous underground smuggling tunnels. The detainees, among them 12 minors, were returned to security forces at the border on Friday. They had been questioned about tunnel locations, leading to at least three closures, Egyptian security sources said.The JPost, meanwhile, reports Al-Farmawi’s horrific experience of three days in an Egyptian prison where, according to him, he and his friends were beaten and tortured with clubs and electric wires.
Relatives expressed “overwhelming happiness” that their son was unharmed during the violence, our correspondent reported from Rafah.
Muawiya Hassanein, Health Ministry director of ambulance and emergency services in Gaza, told Ma’an that after “huge efforts and contacts” to return the boy’s body, officials found him among those who were detained. He was assumed to have died in the clashes Tuesday after a Palestinian ambulance crew was refused permission to access to the area following reports of deadly fire, Hassanein explained at the time.
In what would turn out to be a second erroneous explanation that day, local residents also told Ma’an at the time that while the boy was indeed killed, the Israeli military was not involved. The purported death was an “internal matter,” locals said, insisting on anonymity.
The BBC, NY Times and AFP covered the apparent happy ending to this story although they failed to question Egypt’s treatment of the Palestinian teenagers. However, the entire incident raises many more questions concerning the reporting.
Reliable Palestinian Sources?
- Why should Palestinian medical sources be free from scrutiny, particularly if those very same sources are under the auspices of the Hamas terrorist organization? In this case, faulty information came directly from the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry in Gaza, the very same source for casualty figures during Israel’s Operation Cast Lead. The Health Ministry also contributed to the one-sided Goldstone Report during the commission’s visit to the Gaza Strip.
- We have often criticized the media for relying on Palestinian “eyewitnesses” and even official sources or spokespeople who have subsequently been found to be, at best, inaccurate and in some cases outright liars. Indeed, it was Palestinian medical sources that were responsible for spreading the vicious libel of the so-called Jenin “massacre” in 2002.
- Is the above incident an isolated one? How many Palestinian “casualties” have been erroneously blamed on Israel?
- Aside from the AFP, most mainstream media were careful to cover themselves concerning the lack of clarity in the original story. So why then were they so quick to accept Palestinian casualty figures from virtually the same unreliable sources?
- Is this latest reporting a sign that some media have, without publicly acknowledging previous errors, accepted that a little skepticism of Palestinian sources is in order?
In the past, so many initial and unsubstantiated news reports have turned into libels that have caused immense damage to Israel’s image. Many of these, including the case of Muhammad al-Dura, are covered in our interactive Big Lies presentation.

The 1987 Intifada
The 1987 Intifada
Many think that the first intifada, in 1987, was a ‘spontaneous event’. (Indeed many think that about the following intifadas.) If it was spontaneous, then that spontaneity required a lot of organisation! And that organisation was primarily supplied by Hamas. And it is far fr...om being the case that Hamas has actually denied this. Hamas’s Ibrahim al-Quqa has said that it was the
‘decision of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which set the precise zero-hour in the sanctuaries of the mosques.’
The leader of Hamas at that time (1987), Sheikh Yasin, also claimed that Hamas helped set off the intifada and that it was Hamas that led and controlled it thereafter. More specifically and Islamically, as it were, the intifada basically began in the mosques of the West Bank and Gaza. These mosques worked as a rallying point for militants and ordinary Muslims as well as the launch pads for demonstrations and other intifada activities. Hamas thus utterly transformed the mosques into centres for Islamic learning as well as the places for all political organisation.
The timing of the jihad, and therefore the first intifada, also proved to be a problem for Hamas and Yasin. They debated about whether or not it should begin after Palestinian society was fully Islamised or before that. Yasin decided that it should begin after the full Islamisation of Palestine. That explains the Muslim Brotherhood’s, and therefore Hamas’s, quiescence in the early days. That is also why the Israelis took Hamas to be a thoroughly religious group with no political aspirations and no interest in political violence. The Israelis were wrong in big way. Hamas was simply preparing the ground for jihad and therefore for the 1987 intifada.
Part of Hamas’s Islamisation project was the propagation of the position that those Muslims who were silent about the occupation of Palestine were actually committing an Islamic sin. That is because Islam requires that every Muslim must engage in ‘holy war’. (And for those who care to look, this Islamic imperative is indeed there in the Koran.) It followed that if certain Muslims failed to act, or to become jihadists, they would be committing ‘fatal treason’. And treason is, of course, punishable by death. Not only that, Hamas stated that if any ‘philosophy’ was seen to be justifying submission to the Israelis (or to any non-Muslims), or encouraging Muslims not to ‘sacrifice their souls’, then it would be seen as an ‘heretical’ philosophy to be immediately stamped out. And every such philosophy was indeed stamped out by Hamas.
More concretely and specifically, Hamas got to work on producing, as well as distributing, thousands of leaflets. All these leaflets began with passages from the Koran and included within them other such Koranic passages. They also contained accounts of various episodes in Islamic history. As for graffiti. The following is a small sample of the graffiti which could be seen before, during and after the 1987 intifada:
“Our land is Islamic, this is the identity.’
‘Islam is the way to return.’
‘Islam is the solution.’
‘Khaibar, Khaibar, O Jews, Muhammad’s army will return.’
‘The land of Palestine is an Islamic waqf, Islamic law forbids its abandonment or bargaining over it.’
‘The destruction of Israel is a Koranic imperative.’
‘There is no solution except by the Koran.’
‘The Koran is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.’
So the 1987 intifada was a thoroughly Islamic event, as it were. At the very least, it certainly began in the mosques. As Hamas leader, Dr. ‘Abd-al-‘Aziz, put it. The intifada began
‘with one fixed outcry, allahu akbar [God is great], and took off from the mosques, where the Koran was being read, and the Islamic songs sung, and the people provided with guidance…’
Not only was the 1987 intifada utterly Islamic in nature, it was also only a small part of the larger jihad. That jihad had known many conflicts and battles over the centuries. The 1987 intifada was just another ‘phase’ in this ‘eternal jihad’. It was only one mechanism to mobilise the masses into the spirit of Islamic jihad. In effect, the fight against Israel was, and still is, only one part of the Islamic battle against all non-Muslims and all non-Muslim states. (Another part is the re-conquest of Andalusia – Spain.) In other words, the intifada was, and was seen as, only one form of jihad which was itself was a preparation for the later jihads which would then be fully armed.
Apart from the war against Israel, which is Islamic, and the various forms of jihad that war takes, what about the Islamic nature, as it were, of the Islamic soldiers themselves? They too were to be thoroughly Islamised by Hamas. As one commentator put it:
‘The fundamentalist groups offered a special kind of activism that combined patriotism with moral purity and social action with the promise of divine grace. Sheikh Yasin offered the young Palestinian something far beyond Arafat’s ken: not just the redemption of the homeland, but the salvation of his own troubled soul.

Police, leftists clash in east J'lem
During the demonstration, a violent clash erupted between police forces and the protesters, who blocked the entrance to the neighborhood. Police officers responded with use of force and stun guns.
Six protesters were arrested during the incident, and the organizers claimed several activists were injured, one needing medical treatment.
Watch clashes in Ras al-Amud
The police stated in response that its officers used reasonable force against the rioting protesters.
Meanwhile, at another location in the neighborhood, near the mosque, residents hurled stones at a police force. No injuries were reported.
Asaf Sharon from Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity claimed that the police used extremely violent force against the protesters, adding that police officers used stun guns for the first time, although there was no provocation on the part of the protesters.

Sharon noted that one of the injured protesters, who was also arrested by the police, is among the movement's leaders. "We have a total of 10 injured, two of which were wounded by the stun gun," he said, adding that "one of them needed medical treatment."

Social Media's Sticky Role In Anti-Israel Uprisings
BY Neal Ungerleider
Anti-Israel demonstrations and riots have broken out across the Middle East, leading up to the May 14 anniversary of the creation of Israel. Massive demonstrations calling for the annulment of Egypt and Jordan's peace treaties with Israel took place in Amman and Cairo, while riots have already struck Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip at press time. A Facebook page calling for a third Palestinian intifada, or revolt against Israel, to take place on May 15, has gone viral. Several Palestinian politicians already granted tentative support to the idea of a new intifada. Will the next great Middle Eastern revolt, yet again, be driven by social media?
This past March, an Arabic-language Facebook page titled “Third Palestinian Intifada” began amassing hundreds of thousands of followers. The page called for a mass march by Palestinian refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars and their descendants on the borders of Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank on May 15, with unspecified actions to take place afterwards. May 15 is Nakba Day, an annual day of commemoration for Palestinians who lost their homes in the ethnic warfare that followed the British withdrawal from Palestine. While the page's (anonymous) moderators initially deleted posts urging violence and bloodshed, the flood of posting to the page's wall eventually began to include a large number of messages and videos urging for the killing of both Israelis and Jews in general.
The march appears to be beginning to take place at press time--Egyptian authorities have started stockpiling emergency supplies in Sinai in preparation for a “Million Man March” that is expected to take place on May 15 from Cairo on the Egypt-Gaza border.

On March 29, when the “Third Palestinian Intifada” page reached 340,000 followers, Facebook took the page offline following calls from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and a letter to Mark Zuckerberg from Israeli Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein. In the letter, Edelstein claimed “there are posted many remarks and movie clips which call for the killing of Israelis and Jews and the 'liberating' of Jerusalem and of Palestine through acts of violence.” Fast Company also reported on a $1 billion lawsuit filed against Zuckerberg by Larry Klayman, a Jewish-American lawyer who argued that his life was put at risk by Facebook not taking down the page quickly enough.
According to Abraham Foxman, National Director of the ADL, his organization “called on Facebook to remove the page calling for a Third Intifada out of a very real concern that this was a call to violent action against Israel and Jews. The Third Intifada Facebook page on Facebook explicitly called for followers to build on the previous Intifada. The Second Palestinian Intifada, from 2000 through 2008, was responsible for thousands of casualties and deaths through a campaign of terrorism against Israel that included suicide bombings of restaurants, buses, dance clubs and cafes.”
However, pro-Palestinian activists quickly began putting mirrors of the page online on Facebook and elsewhere. The largest of these is the pan-Muslim Rassoul Allah page on Facebook, which has a staggering 3.5 million followers. The latest Arabic-language poll posted to the site as of press time asks participants if they are “ready for martyrdom for the liberation of Palestine and the al-Aqsa Mosque.” Another prominent mirrior, 3rdintifada.com, also started social media presences on Twitter and YouTube.
As much as pundits such as Malcolm Gladwell argue that social media does not spur revolutionary movements in the Middle East or elsewhere, facts on the ground indicate otherwise. Journalist David Wolman wrote extensively for The Atavist on how social media spurred the Egyptian revolution and the widespread use of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube across the Middle East has been extensively documented. Social media allows the individual revolutionary to efficiently smuggle out essential information, gain safety in numbers, to propagandize their cause, and gain access to a worldwide circle of sympathy--this is something that television and landline telephones simply cannot do. For activists, social media has been the most important technological innovation since the printing press for disseminating ideas.

In an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Fatah Central Committee member Ahmad Zaki claimed that the Palestinian Authority “could not silence the Palestinian street after it saw the achievements of other people” when asked directly if a new intifada could begin on May 15. Abu Ammar, Fatah's head in the Gaza Strip, also told Palestinian newspaper al-Hayat al-Jadida that unspecified “joint central activities” were being planned between Hamas and Fatah that included “all national and Islamic forces.” However, other prominent Fatah officials have gone on record as being opposed to the May 15 plans.
The participants in eager conversations on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube tend to be young diaspora Palestinians and fellow Arabs or Muslims who have adopted the Palestinian cause as their own. Large numbers of Egyptians, moved by the suffering of civilians in Gaza and enmity toward their Israeli arch enemies, are gearing up to march on the border. However, journalists currently working on the ground in the West Bank and Gaza argue that residents there are skeptical of a new intifada.

Anti-Israel Demonstrations by Egytians
After a page calling for a mass march by Palestinians on the borders of Israel on May 15 was taken offline by Facebook, mirror sites with more than 3.5 million followers sprung up. Now Egyptians are preparing to march on Gaza and the Israeli military is threatening to crush protests. Will the so-called "Facebook Intifada" tip the Middle East into further turmoil?
Anti-Israel demonstrations and riots have broken out across the Middle East, leading up to the May 14 anniversary of the creation of Israel. Massive demonstrations calling for the annulment of Egypt and Jordan's peace treaties with Israel took place in Amman and Cairo, while riots have already struck Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip at press time. A Facebook page calling for a third Palestinian intifada, or revolt against Israel, to take place on May 15, has gone viral. Several Palestinian politicians already granted tentative support to the idea of a new intifada. Will the next great Middle Eastern revolt, yet again, be driven by social media?
This past March, an Arabic-language Facebook page titled “Third Palestinian Intifada” began amassing hundreds of thousands of followers. The page called for a mass march by Palestinian refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars and their descendants on the borders of Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank on May 15, with unspecified actions to take place afterwards. May 15 is Nakba Day, an annual day of commemoration for Palestinians who lost their homes in the ethnic warfare that followed the British withdrawal from Palestine. While the page's (anonymous) moderators initially deleted posts urging violence and bloodshed, the flood of posting to the page's wall eventually began to include a large number of messages and videos urging for the killing of both Israelis and Jews in general.
The march appears to be beginning to take place at press time--Egyptian authorities have started stockpiling emergency supplies in Sinai in preparation for a “Million Man March” that is expected to take place on May 15 from Cairo on the Egypt-Gaza border.

On March 29, when the “Third Palestinian Intifada” page reached 340,000 followers, Facebook took the page offline following calls from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and a letter to Mark Zuckerberg from Israeli Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein. In the letter, Edelstein claimed “there are posted many remarks and movie clips which call for the killing of Israelis and Jews and the 'liberating' of Jerusalem and of Palestine through acts of violence.” Fast Company also reported on a $1 billion lawsuit filed against Zuckerberg by Larry Klayman, a Jewish-American lawyer who argued that his life was put at risk by Facebook not taking down the page quickly enough.
According to Abraham Foxman, National Director of the ADL, his organization “called on Facebook to remove the page calling for a Third Intifada out of a very real concern that this was a call to violent action against Israel and Jews. The Third Intifada Facebook page on Facebook explicitly called for followers to build on the previous Intifada. The Second Palestinian Intifada, from 2000 through 2008, was responsible for thousands of casualties and deaths through a campaign of terrorism against Israel that included suicide bombings of restaurants, buses, dance clubs and cafes.”
However, pro-Palestinian activists quickly began putting mirrors of the page online on Facebook and elsewhere. The largest of these is the pan-Muslim Rassoul Allah page on Facebook, which has a staggering 3.5 million followers. The latest Arabic-language poll posted to the site as of press time asks participants if they are “ready for martyrdom for the liberation of Palestine and the al-Aqsa Mosque.” Another prominent mirrior, 3rdintifada.com, also started social media presences on Twitter and YouTube.
As much as pundits such as Malcolm Gladwell argue that social media does not spur revolutionary movements in the Middle East or elsewhere, facts on the ground indicate otherwise. Journalist David Wolman wrote extensively for The Atavist on how social media spurred the Egyptian revolution and the widespread use of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube across the Middle East has been extensively documented. Social media allows the individual revolutionary to efficiently smuggle out essential information, gain safety in numbers, to propagandize their cause, and gain access to a worldwide circle of sympathy--this is something that television and landline telephones simply cannot do. For activists, social media has been the most important technological innovation since the printing press for disseminating ideas.
But while the page was taken down, it acquired a new life both on- and offline. High-ranking officials in Fatah, the ruling faction of the West Bank, have implied some level of support for the “Facebook Intifada.”
In an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Fatah Central Committee member Ahmad Zaki claimed that the Palestinian Authority “could not silence the Palestinian street after it saw the achievements of other people” when asked directly if a new intifada could begin on May 15. Abu Ammar, Fatah's head in the Gaza Strip, also told Palestinian newspaper al-Hayat al-Jadida that unspecified “joint central activities” were being planned between Hamas and Fatah that included “all national and Islamic forces.” However, other prominent Fatah officials have gone on record as being opposed to the May 15 plans.
Meanwhile, Hamas has stayed suspiciously mum on the issue of the “Facebook Intifada” even through a mass march on Gaza from Egypt appears to be under way. However, Hamas' Iranian financial backers have enthusiastically supported the idea of resuming hostilities against Israel on May 15. Iranian-funded television news network Press TV has formally announced May 15 as the beginning of a new intifada and Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi has previously announced his country's plans to support a social media-generated intifada against Israel as far back as 2010. Moslehi was one of the key figures in the brutal persecution of Iranian demonstrators following the contested 2009 election.
But despite Iranian enthusiasm for the plan, all the evidence points to talk of a Third Intifada on social media being a genuinely grassroots project not controlled by either Fatah, Hamas, or foreign backers.The participants in eager conversations on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube tend to be young diaspora Palestinians and fellow Arabs or Muslims who have adopted the Palestinian cause as their own. Large numbers of Egyptians, moved by the suffering of civilians in Gaza and enmity toward their Israeli arch enemies, are gearing up to march on the border.

The Two-State Solution
The "Two State Solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, today's front runner in the desperate search for a way out of a century of tension in the Holyland, is seen as the most viable way to put this conflict to rest, once and for all. Proposed by then-President Bill Clinton in December 2000, it is endorsed by the world's major powers and, incredibly, by Israel herself, in the hopes that somehow this time they've found the right formula. Somehow, this time the Palestinians will step out of character, accept Israel and make peace. Somehow, this time Israel will give away land and not get war in return. Somehow. Folks, it's time to get our heads out of the sand. Despite the hype and high hopes, this "solution" is really just another false promise. It's just a rehash of the many failed and unworkable past attempts to secure peace between the two parties. The 1947 U.N. Partition Plan did not bring peace. Nor did the 1993 Oslo Accords. Nor did the 1998 Wye River Memorandum. Nor did the 2000 Lebanon retreat. Nor did the ill-conceived 2005 Disengagement. Wishful thinking is not the answer. We need to go back to the drawing board. We must begin to think outside of the box.
The Two State Solution is based on the "land-for-peace" formula with the folowing built-in assumptions:
1. The Palestinians truly want peace, will share the land with the Jews and recognize Israel as the Jewish state.
2. The Palestinians can be trusted to encourage and nurture a warm peace with Israel for generations to come.
3. The newly-formed Palestinian state will dialogue freely and cooperate with Israel, as any friendly neighbor state might.
4. The newly-formed Palestinian state will be democratic, moderate, Western oriented and demilitarized.
5. The newly-formed Palestinian state will reflect Israel's right for secure and defensible borders, as per UN Resolution 242.
6. The newly-formed Palestinian state will resist any attempts to be drawn into the orbit of neighboring rogue states such as Syria and Iran and will shun Hamas and any other terrorist organization.
A tall order indeed! Can any expectation be more unrealistic than that? The above requirements would tax even the most wishful of thinkers. Given the past 63 years of Arab hatred, terror and intransigence, beginning with their rejection of the 1947 U.N. Partition Plan (the original Two State Solution) and subsequent attack in 1948, how can any objective and rational observer possibly conclude that such an arrangement is even remotely possible? Is there any indication that the Palestinians have turned over a new leaf?
After a string of failed land-for-peace deals, dashed hopes and bitter, bloody experiences on both sides, the wobbly peace process simply cannot afford yet another disappointment.
Any alternative to the Two State Solution will be imperfect, but must be seriously considered. There are better options! Here are a few:
1. The Israel Initiative ("Benny Elon Plan")
* Strives for a humanitarian solution to the Palestinian problem, instead of a political one.
* Bases peace on strategic cooperation with Jordan, instead of with the Palestinian Authority. A future Palestinian state will be in Jordan, which occupies 77% of the original Palestinian Mandate and whose population is mostly Palestinian.
* Extends Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, as conceived in various post WW I international agreements, instead of handing over these areas for a Palestinian State.
For more info: http://www.israelinitiative.com/rewr-true/language-en_us/Introduction.aspx
2. One State Plan ("Wise Plan")
* Israel's democracy and law will be extended to all of Judea and Samaria.
* No forcible tranfer - Residents of Judea and Samaria will become permanent residents and elect local municipalities.
* Civil and religious rights for all inhabitants of Israel.
* Citizenship standards for non-Jews will recognize Israel as the Jewish national home and include national service.
* Israel political parties and elected and appointed officials must affirm Israel as the Jewish national home.
* Electoral reform will divide Israel into districts to insure local representation.
Simply put, it would end the "occupation", end the incitement, end the border dispute, end the need to compromise on Jerusalem, end the need for population transfers, solve the viability problem and allow Israel to get on with building a Jewish democratic state, from the Mediterranean to the Jordan.

3. Compensation and Relocation Plan ("Sherman Plan")
* Offers individual Palestinian families generous relocation grants. A 2004 survey shows that this approach would be well received by the plan's beneficiaries and result in their emigration from Judea and Samaria.
* Will dramatically and immediately improve the lot of individual Palestinians and reduce their dependence on welfare institutions such as UNRWA.
* Will inject many billions of dollars into the economies of low income nations that host the emigrees.
* Eliminates the UNRWA, the UN body which perpetuates the "Palestinian Refugee Problem" at the expense of the truly needy around the globe (see this Youtube video).

http://www.jerusalemsummit.org/eng/hs_short_eng.htm
4. One State for Two Peoples ("Hotovely Plan")
* Calls for gradual Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria while taking into account the human rights of the local Arab population.
* Proposes granting local Arab population "Residency" rights initially, followed by the gradual granting of Israeli citizenship, based on loyalty tests.
* Proposes the dismantling of refugee camps (thus breaking the cycle of poverty and reducing overcrowding) and eliminating the PA's hostile educational system.
* Obviates the need for any resident of Judea and Samaria, Jew or Arab, to relocate.

Though certainly not the ideal solution, keeping the staus quo unchanged in the so-called "Occupied Territories", even indefinitely, is arguably preferable to a forced "Two State Solution", which can only end badly for all the parties involved.

Arab League Sec-Gen: Camp David Accords Have Expired
The Camp David Accords signed between Egypt and Israel have expired and no longer govern the situation, Arab League secretary-general and potential Egyptian presidential candidate Amr Moussa has said.
Moussa, who participated in the negotiations with Israel in 1978, made the statements during a discussion with Egyptian youth.
He added, "What governs the relationship between the two countries is the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002 and the Egyptian-Israeli treaty."

Hamas: a Satire in the Wikipedia Style
Introduction
Hamas (Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamat al-Islāmiyyah, meaning ‘Islamic Resistance Bowel Movement’) is a Embrace Diversity organisation (sponsored by Birmingham City Council) which is open to all religions as long as they are Islamic and also Sunni. It has a socio-political wing, a paramilitary force, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, as well as a darts team. Since June 2007, after forcing a large majority to vote for it at gunpoint in the Palestinian Parliament, and defeating rival Palestinian party Fartah by killing its members, Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of Israel’s imperialist cake. The governments of Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, and the United States classify Hamas as ‘terrorist fuckers’. The London School of Economics Student’s Union classifies Hamas as ‘a Hippy Peace Initiative and Dance Troop’. The United Kingdom and Australia classify only Hamas' independent military wing, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, as ‘naughty boys’.
Hamas was created in 1987 by Milk Sheikh Arsehead Yassin, of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood of Man, at the beginning of the First Intifarta, an uprising against Israeli rule in the Palestinian Territories. Hamas launched numerous sacred explosions against Jewish scum, the first of them in April. Hamas ceased the attacks in 2005 and renounced them in April, 2006, and began them again a couple of hours later. Hamas has also been responsible for rocket and roman candle attacks since 2001, improvised explosive device attacks, and shootings, but it reduced those operations in 2005 and 2006 by about three or four a year.
In January 2006, Hamas was successful in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, taking 76 of the 59 seats in the chamber pot, while the previous ruling Fartah party took some too. After Hamas's election victory, violent and even-more-violent conflicts arose between Hamas and its Muslim brothers in Fartah. Following the Pillow Fight of Gaza, in June 2007, elected Hamas officials were ousted from their positions in the Palestinian National Authority government in the South Bank replaced by rival Fartah members and independents from UKIP. Hamas retained control of Gazza, who was out on a drinking spree at the time. On June 18, 2007, Palestinian President Mahmoud Yabba-Dabba-Doo (Fartah) issued a decree outlawing the Hamas militia. Israel then immediately imposed an economic blockade on Gaza, and Hamas launched stink bomb attacks on areas of Israel near its border with Gaza.
Through its funding and management of schools, mosques, VD clinics, youth groups, various Icelands and Primarks, brothels, Scrabble clubs, scouts and lesbian collectives, Hamas, by the mid-1990s, had attained a ‘well-entrenched’ presence in the West Bank, Gaza and the Students Union of the London School of Economics (though it did not gain control of all London University).
Hamas's 1988 charter calls for replacing the State of Israel with a Islamic piece of cheese in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. However, in July 2009, the Wall Street Journal and Council on Foreign Relations reported an interview with Khaled Meshal, Hamas's Damascus-based political bureau chief, where he stated that
‘Hamas was willing to cooperate with itself on promoting a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict which included a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders provided Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to Israel and become good chums with the then Jewish minority and embrace other kinds of diversity and enhance Community Cohesion between Jewish scum and brave, noble Muslims.’
Hamas has in the past described its conflict with Israel as neither religious nor antisemitic but ‘like a large Inter Faith meeting in Birmingham’. The Big Head of Hamas's political bureau stated in early 2006 that the conflict with Israel ‘is not political but religious… sorry, the other way around’, and that Jewish scum had a covenant from God ‘that was not respected or protected’. There is a belief, though, that the Hamas Charter and statements by Hamas leaders have not been influenced by antisemitic conspiracy theories. Hamas denies this.
What Hamas Wants
Hamas's 1988 charter calls for the replacement of Israel and the Palestinian Territories with a piece of cheese. However, Hamas did not mention that goal in its erectoral manifesto during the January 2006 erection campaign, though the manifesto did call for maintaining the armed struggle against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories. This case of cheeselessness worried many biased commentators.
Israel rejects the truce offers that Hamas has made, due to doubt of the likelihood of a truce with Hamas holding for no more than 3 minutes. The New York Times's Steven Erlanger contends that Hamas excludes the possibility of a permanent love-in with Israel:
‘Since the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Beneath Him, made a temporary hudna, or truce, with the Jews about 1,400 years ago, Hamas allows the idea. But no one in Hamas says he would make a peace treaty with the non-Muslim world or permanently give up any part of Dar a-Islam.’
He continued:
‘The best thing about hudna, or truce, is that Hamas can allow funds from Viva Palestina to built up and thus it can then buy many more spanking new weapons. That’s what truces are for. Everyone knows that. Especially George Galloway and Bobby Davro.’
Mkhaimer Abusada, a piss artist at Al-Capone University, writes that Hamas talks
‘of hudna, not of peace or reconciliation with Israel. They believe over time they will be strong enough to liberate all the world for Islam. That is, to exterminate every Jew in Palestine and then, a little later, in the whole damn non-Muslim world.’
The Hamas Charter
The Hamas charter (or The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to give it its original title), issued in 1907/88, calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic state in Palestine, in place of Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and the obliteration, nullification, extermination, ending, ceasing, death, of Israel. Specifically, the quotation section that precedes the charter's introduction provides the following quote, attributed to Imam Hassan Havva-Banana, the grand-daddy of the ever-so-moderate-and-moderate Tariq Ramadan:
‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’
Some Koranic experts have interpreted the word ‘obliterate’ as meaning obliterate. However, leftists and liberals have translated it as follows:
‘Israel will be given a very firm telling off it it doesn’t allow Palestinians the West Bank and Gaza.’
The charter's advocacy of an Islamic state in the territory of the Palestinian territories and Israel is stated as an Islamic religious prophesy arising from Hadith, the oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the works of Chomsky. In this regard, the charter states that
‘renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith... Long live death!’
Hamas’s Formation in 1987
Between 1967 and 1987, the year Hamas was founded (which was the year Hamas was founded), the number of mosques in Gaza tripled from 200 to 160000. The Muslim Brotherhood named the period between 1975 and 1987 ‘a phase of Islamisation and inter-faith meetings.' Likewise, antagonistic and sometimes violent opposition to Fatah, the Palestine Liberation Organisation and other secular nationalist groups increased dramatically in the streets and on the university campus of the London School of Economics.
Milk Sheikh Ahmed Yassin founded Hamas in 1987 (which was the year he founded Hamas) as an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Sisterhood Collective. The acronym ‘Hamas’ first appeared in 1987 in a leaflet that accused the Israeli intelligence services of undermining the moral fiber of Palestinian killers as part of Mossad's recruitment of what Hamas termed ‘non-killers’. Hamas's military branch, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, was created in 1992 (yes). Although the Brigades are an integral part of Hamas, they operate independently, and at times contrary to the LSE Student’s Union.
The Very-Little-Known Gaza War
In February 2005, Hamas had declared a multilateral ceasefire with itself, but this was ended after Israeli air strikes on tunnels Hamas used to transport sandwiches into Gaza. Ali A-Bumah, author of a book, writes that Hamas
‘had observed the unilateral truce with Israel. It had given up suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. And there was no response to that. On the contrary. The Israelis carried on with their suicide bombings.’
On 17 June 2008, and after months of meditation by Egypt and Southampton Municipal Council, mediators announced that an informal truce was agreed between Hamas and itself. The six-second ceasefire was set to start on 19 June 2008 and end on the 19th June 2008. Israeli officials initially declined to confirm or deny or confirm or deny or conform or deny the agreement while Hamas and announced that it would
‘adhere to the timetable which was set by Egypt and Southampton Municipal Council, but it is Hamas's right to respond to any Israelis provocatively living and breathing before its implementation’.
On November 4, 2008 Israeli forces killed six Hamas pizza delivery men in a raid inside the Gaza Home Strip. Hamas responded with a barrage of flower petals. During November a total of 190 home made buns were also fired from Gaza into Zionistan.
Over the weekend of 27–28 December, Israel implemented Operation Cast Led Zeppelin against Humourless Hamas. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said:
‘We warned Hamas repeatedly that rejecting the truce would push Israel to aggression against Gaza.’
Hamas has estimated that at least 2 members of its security forces had been killed to death. According to Israel, militant boy-scout camps, rocket-manufacturing facilities and weapons warehouses that had been pre-identified were hit, and later they attacked rocket and mortar squads who fired around 180 rockets and mortars at Israeli communities. The chef of Gaza's vice police, Tawdry Jabberwocky, head of the General Security Service Salah Abu Shreak, senior religious authority and official cunt, and Interior Minister Right Said Fred Seyam, were among those killed to death.
Human Shields and Other Zionist Stuff
During the 2009–2009 Gaza–Gaza conflict, the Israeli government and military criticized Hamas for blending into or hiding among the Palestinian civilian populations. The Zionist lie-machine published what it said was video evidence of human shield tactics by Hamas. Israel also claimed that Hamas frequently used mosques and school yards as hideouts and places to store crack, and that Hamas paramilitary soldiers stored weapons in their neighbours’ homes, making it difficult to ensure that civilians close to legitimate military targets are not hurt during Israeli military operations. Former Shit Bed head Ava Dickter has claimed that Gaza's Shifa Hospital is used as a meeting place for Respect.
Israel has accused Hamas of using Muslim children as human shields and the stars of Human Rights videos. The Israeli government released video footage of Hamas not being nice. In the First Scene, Act Two, two Hamas militants grab a young boy's arse from behind holding him to walk in front of them toward a group of people waiting near wall, where IDF argues the militants were forcing him in between themselves and an Israeli sniper. The Second Scene, Third Movement, shows a third Hamas militant grabbing a school boy arse off of the floor by the backpack he is wearing from where he hides behind a column against IDF fire and carry him to the wall among the same group of people, where IDF claims militant use him as a human shield.
In the first years of the First Intifarta (1987–1993), Hamas violence was directed first at collaborators and individuals it considered moral deviants such as non-Muslims, homosexualists and members of rock bands, and only later at the Israeli military.
A new direction began with the formation of the al-Qassam Brigades militia in 1992, and in 1993 spiritual attacks began against Israeli targets on the West Bank
In a 2002 report, Human Rights Watch stated that Hamas' leaders ‘should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against Jewish scum’ that have been committed by its holy members.
What People Think of Hamas
According to National Public Radio, a non-commercial broadcasting organization in the US,
‘Israel and many Western powers have struggled with how best to interact with a group that is at once labeled terrorist and, at the sametime, is a bona fide dance troop that was the legitimately elected leadership of the Palestinian National Authority and Respect UK.’
In a 2007 Phew Global Attitudes Survey, 101% of Palestinians had a favorable opinion of Hamas, though that was at gunpoint, as do majorities or pluralities or multiplicities or… ummm in Muslim Jordan and Muslim Morocco and the Student’s Union of the LSE, but this is not so in Cardiff or Bangcock. Opinions of Hamas are divided in Egypt and Kuwait, and Hamas is viewed negatively in Turkey and Lebanon, but not in the Student Union of the London School of Economics and by Sein Fein.
According to a November 2009 survey conducted by Haaretz, 57% of Israelis support the view of MK Shaul Mofaz of Kadima, that Israel should establish a bebop band with Hamas under certain conditions, for example, that Hamas renounces Islam, recognizes Israel's right to exist as a Jewish nation, and loses its designation as a terrorist organization. Hamas responded to this by labeling it ‘Zionist vulgarity’
Hamas (Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamat al-Islāmiyyah, meaning ‘Islamic Resistance Bowel Movement’) is a Embrace Diversity organisation (sponsored by Birmingham City Council) which is open to all religions as long as they are Islamic and also Sunni. It has a socio-political wing, a paramilitary force, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, as well as a darts team. Since June 2007, after forcing a large majority to vote for it at gunpoint in the Palestinian Parliament, and defeating rival Palestinian party Fartah by killing its members, Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of Israel’s imperialist cake. The governments of Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, and the United States classify Hamas as ‘terrorist fuckers’. The London School of Economics Student’s Union classifies Hamas as ‘a Hippy Peace Initiative and Dance Troop’. The United Kingdom and Australia classify only Hamas' independent military wing, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, as ‘naughty boys’.
Hamas was created in 1987 by Milk Sheikh Arsehead Yassin, of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood of Man, at the beginning of the First Intifarta, an uprising against Israeli rule in the Palestinian Territories. Hamas launched numerous sacred explosions against Jewish scum, the first of them in April. Hamas ceased the attacks in 2005 and renounced them in April, 2006, and began them again a couple of hours later. Hamas has also been responsible for rocket and roman candle attacks since 2001, improvised explosive device attacks, and shootings, but it reduced those operations in 2005 and 2006 by about three or four a year.
In January 2006, Hamas was successful in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, taking 76 of the 59 seats in the chamber pot, while the previous ruling Fartah party took some too. After Hamas's election victory, violent and even-more-violent conflicts arose between Hamas and its Muslim brothers in Fartah. Following the Pillow Fight of Gaza, in June 2007, elected Hamas officials were ousted from their positions in the Palestinian National Authority government in the South Bank replaced by rival Fartah members and independents from UKIP. Hamas retained control of Gazza, who was out on a drinking spree at the time. On June 18, 2007, Palestinian President Mahmoud Yabba-Dabba-Doo (Fartah) issued a decree outlawing the Hamas militia. Israel then immediately imposed an economic blockade on Gaza, and Hamas launched stink bomb attacks on areas of Israel near its border with Gaza.
Through its funding and management of schools, mosques, VD clinics, youth groups, various Icelands and Primarks, brothels, Scrabble clubs, scouts and lesbian collectives, Hamas, by the mid-1990s, had attained a ‘well-entrenched’ presence in the West Bank, Gaza and the Students Union of the London School of Economics (though it did not gain control of all London University).
Hamas's 1988 charter calls for replacing the State of Israel with a Islamic piece of cheese in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. However, in July 2009, the Wall Street Journal and Council on Foreign Relations reported an interview with Khaled Meshal, Hamas's Damascus-based political bureau chief, where he stated that
‘Hamas was willing to cooperate with itself on promoting a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict which included a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders provided Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to Israel and become good chums with the then Jewish minority and embrace other kinds of diversity and enhance Community Cohesion between Jewish scum and brave, noble Muslims.’
Hamas has in the past described its conflict with Israel as neither religious nor antisemitic but ‘like a large Inter Faith meeting in Birmingham’. The Big Head of Hamas's political bureau stated in early 2006 that the conflict with Israel ‘is not political but religious… sorry, the other way around’, and that Jewish scum had a covenant from God ‘that was not respected or protected’. There is a belief, though, that the Hamas Charter and statements by Hamas leaders have not been influenced by antisemitic conspiracy theories. Hamas denies this.
What Hamas Wants
Hamas's 1988 charter calls for the replacement of Israel and the Palestinian Territories with a piece of cheese. However, Hamas did not mention that goal in its erectoral manifesto during the January 2006 erection campaign, though the manifesto did call for maintaining the armed struggle against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories. This case of cheeselessness worried many biased commentators.
Israel rejects the truce offers that Hamas has made, due to doubt of the likelihood of a truce with Hamas holding for no more than 3 minutes. The New York Times's Steven Erlanger contends that Hamas excludes the possibility of a permanent love-in with Israel:
‘Since the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Beneath Him, made a temporary hudna, or truce, with the Jews about 1,400 years ago, Hamas allows the idea. But no one in Hamas says he would make a peace treaty with the non-Muslim world or permanently give up any part of Dar a-Islam.’
He continued:
‘The best thing about hudna, or truce, is that Hamas can allow funds from Viva Palestina to built up and thus it can then buy many more spanking new weapons. That’s what truces are for. Everyone knows that. Especially George Galloway and Bobby Davro.’
Mkhaimer Abusada, a piss artist at Al-Capone University, writes that Hamas talks
‘of hudna, not of peace or reconciliation with Israel. They believe over time they will be strong enough to liberate all the world for Islam. That is, to exterminate every Jew in Palestine and then, a little later, in the whole damn non-Muslim world.’
The Hamas Charter
The Hamas charter (or The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to give it its original title), issued in 1907/88, calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic state in Palestine, in place of Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and the obliteration, nullification, extermination, ending, ceasing, death, of Israel. Specifically, the quotation section that precedes the charter's introduction provides the following quote, attributed to Imam Hassan Havva-Banana, the grand-daddy of the ever-so-moderate-and-moderate Tariq Ramadan:
‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’
Some Koranic experts have interpreted the word ‘obliterate’ as meaning obliterate. However, leftists and liberals have translated it as follows:
‘Israel will be given a very firm telling off it it doesn’t allow Palestinians the West Bank and Gaza.’
The charter's advocacy of an Islamic state in the territory of the Palestinian territories and Israel is stated as an Islamic religious prophesy arising from Hadith, the oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the works of Chomsky. In this regard, the charter states that
‘renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith... Long live death!’
Hamas’s Formation in 1987
Between 1967 and 1987, the year Hamas was founded (which was the year Hamas was founded), the number of mosques in Gaza tripled from 200 to 160000. The Muslim Brotherhood named the period between 1975 and 1987 ‘a phase of Islamisation and inter-faith meetings.' Likewise, antagonistic and sometimes violent opposition to Fatah, the Palestine Liberation Organisation and other secular nationalist groups increased dramatically in the streets and on the university campus of the London School of Economics.
Milk Sheikh Ahmed Yassin founded Hamas in 1987 (which was the year he founded Hamas) as an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Sisterhood Collective. The acronym ‘Hamas’ first appeared in 1987 in a leaflet that accused the Israeli intelligence services of undermining the moral fiber of Palestinian killers as part of Mossad's recruitment of what Hamas termed ‘non-killers’. Hamas's military branch, the Izzy ad-Dinny al-Qassam Brigades, was created in 1992 (yes). Although the Brigades are an integral part of Hamas, they operate independently, and at times contrary to the LSE Student’s Union.
The Very-Little-Known Gaza War
In February 2005, Hamas had declared a multilateral ceasefire with itself, but this was ended after Israeli air strikes on tunnels Hamas used to transport sandwiches into Gaza. Ali A-Bumah, author of a book, writes that Hamas
‘had observed the unilateral truce with Israel. It had given up suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. And there was no response to that. On the contrary. The Israelis carried on with their suicide bombings.’
On 17 June 2008, and after months of meditation by Egypt and Southampton Municipal Council, mediators announced that an informal truce was agreed between Hamas and itself. The six-second ceasefire was set to start on 19 June 2008 and end on the 19th June 2008. Israeli officials initially declined to confirm or deny or confirm or deny or conform or deny the agreement while Hamas and announced that it would
‘adhere to the timetable which was set by Egypt and Southampton Municipal Council, but it is Hamas's right to respond to any Israelis provocatively living and breathing before its implementation’.
On November 4, 2008 Israeli forces killed six Hamas pizza delivery men in a raid inside the Gaza Home Strip. Hamas responded with a barrage of flower petals. During November a total of 190 home made buns were also fired from Gaza into Zionistan.
Over the weekend of 27–28 December, Israel implemented Operation Cast Led Zeppelin against Humourless Hamas. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said:
‘We warned Hamas repeatedly that rejecting the truce would push Israel to aggression against Gaza.’
Hamas has estimated that at least 2 members of its security forces had been killed to death. According to Israel, militant boy-scout camps, rocket-manufacturing facilities and weapons warehouses that had been pre-identified were hit, and later they attacked rocket and mortar squads who fired around 180 rockets and mortars at Israeli communities. The chef of Gaza's vice police, Tawdry Jabberwocky, head of the General Security Service Salah Abu Shreak, senior religious authority and official cunt, and Interior Minister Right Said Fred Seyam, were among those killed to death.
Human Shields and Other Zionist Stuff
During the 2009–2009 Gaza–Gaza conflict, the Israeli government and military criticized Hamas for blending into or hiding among the Palestinian civilian populations. The Zionist lie-machine published what it said was video evidence of human shield tactics by Hamas. Israel also claimed that Hamas frequently used mosques and school yards as hideouts and places to store crack, and that Hamas paramilitary soldiers stored weapons in their neighbours’ homes, making it difficult to ensure that civilians close to legitimate military targets are not hurt during Israeli military operations.
