Grandmother: 'Could they really kill a baby in his bed?' Five-month-old Muhammad Nasser Al-Bur'i was asleep in his parent's bed in the family's home when the Israeli missile aimed at the ministry of interior building in Gaza City struck on Wednesday evening. His mother had only just left the room when the tin roof collapsed and Muhammad was suffocated by the dust which filled the house as the Israeli planes shelled the nearby ministry. Muhammad was Eman and Nasser Al-Bur'i's only child. They had been married for five years before their longed-for child was born. His incredulous grandmother Um Nasser said, "Could they really kill a baby in his bed? May God give us enough patience to cope with the Zionists' oppression and the world's silence." http://www.maannews.net/en/index.php?opr=ShowDetails&ID=28077
Haniyeh's headquarters disappear The IAF targeted former 'Palestinian Prime Minister' and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's headquarters a short while ago. They aren't there anymore. Israel Air Force aircraft targeted Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's Gaza headquarters early Sunday, firing three missiles at the compound. Palestinian witnesses say the building completely collapsed, reporting wounded militants. http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2008/03/haniyehs-headquarters-disappear.html
7567 Kassams and counting http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satell...=JPost/Page/VideoPlayer&videoId=1202742156645 Enough is enough wael. It's payback time. Death to Hamas, Death to Islamic Jihad, Death to Palestinian terrorism. PS Hopefully Olmert will not screw this one up. What do you think wael?
The situation of civilian palestinians who die today is equivalent to the situation of the jews who died under the hand of nazies. It was wrong then to kill innocent Jews, and it is wrong today to kill innocent palestinians. I pray for all these innocent humans who died then and who die today. Please reach to your humanity within you. You would understand.
No he is not!!! Israel kills some more children Mohammed Omer, The Electronic Intifada, 1 March 2008 Medical workers evacuate a family after their house was hit in an Israeli air raid in Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, 1 March 2008. (Wissam Nassar/MaanImages) GAZA CITY, 1 March (IPS) - Tamer was nine, and no child soldier. He did not live in the area from where homemade rockets are launched into Israeli territory. The day he was killed, he was at least two kilometers from the place Israeli troops had entered Gaza, and met with return fire by Palestinian resistance. His tragedy was that the family home was near Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Gaza Strip, close to the area the Israelis have set up as their Kussfim base. "We were all inside the house when shooting started," Tamer's aunt Etaf tells IPS. "It was right after members of the Palestinian resistance stopped shooting at Israeli troops," she said, pointing towards the scene of those clashes a couple of kilometers away. But the Israelis marched into this area as well, hardly for the first time. Members of the family decided to crawl out into the rain after a bullet hit a gas cylinder, Etaf said. "But Israeli soldiers continued to fire on us from a tank and Hummer military jeep." After some time, seeing that the gas cylinder had not exploded, Etaf said she crawled back into the house. Tamer followed, but never made it. "I saw Tamer shot, with a bullet in his head." "He wanted to become a doctor when he grew up," says his mother Sabah Abu Shaar. Like Tamer, other children are dying, and their mothers' dreams with them. A six-month-old infant named Mohammed al-Bor'i was killed when an Israeli missile crashed into the house Wednesday this week, moments after he'd been fed. The family house happens to be close to the offices of Gaza's ministry of interior, and to the house of de facto Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Hanyieh. The same day, three other Palestinian children were killed in an air strike. The following day, four Palestinian children were killed near the Jabaliya refugee camp while playing soccer. Two of the boys, all aged 7 to 14, were from the same family. A child's body was found in eastern Gaza, a victim of Israeli shelling. The UN Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs says in a Gaza fact sheet that 80 Palestinians were killed in January of this year, and 82 were injured. The January deaths included four children and five women. The Israeli casualties through the month were nine injuries from homemade rockets. Just over the past three days, Israeli air strikes have killed at least 35 Palestinians, among them nine children. Many more are injured, and some are in critical condition. Following Friday prayers, tens of thousands of Gazans came out on the streets in protest against the Israeli air strikes. Matan Vilnai, Israeli deputy defense minister, has said that Gaza faces a "holocaust" if the homemade rockets do not stop. Since May 2007, these rockets have killed one Israeli. Emergency medical care is now threatened. The head of the ambulance department at Shifa hospital says he has just 20 liters of fuel left in stock for the ambulances. Once this runs out, little help will be available to victims of the next Israeli attacks. Israeli attacks and firing are now so continuous that many in Deir al-Balah say they cannot sleep. "We can't feel safe here," says Tashaeel, one of Tamer's elder sisters. "If we'd also left with Tamer, their bullets would have made a harvest of us all." The family has tried in vain for UN help in moving to another area. "Bullets chase us day and night," says mother Sabah. "We can't go out, and we have nowhere else to go. No money to move to a safer place where I could save the lives of my children. "Last week Israeli soldiers had attacked out house, and ordered my seven daughters, two sons and myself into the rain, with their dangerous dogs scaring us away," Sabah said. "Then they ransacked our house for several hours, leaving it in total chaos before we were allowed back in." Such raids are common, she said. Tamer was killed in the next one. The grieving family is now without water after bullets punctured the overhead tank. The walls of the house are pock-marked with bullet holes. And all the time they fear that Israeli bulldozers will bring down this too. As Palestinians in Gaza wait for more Israeli attacks, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has expressed strong concern. "These events underscore the urgent need for a calming of violence, and must not be allowed to deter the continuation of the political process," he said. But such statements mean little on the ground, and people in Gaza see no international action to stop Israel. "Gaza today faces a real war, a crazy war," Haniyeh said during Friday prayers near the Shati refugee camp. He also criticized the US for accepting Israeli claims of "legitimate self-defense." Despite Israel's best attempts at ostracizing Haniyeh, his popularity seems only to have increased. All rights reserved, IPS - Inter Press Service (2008).

You son of a bitch. What people on this forum do not know is that you have been carrying a campaign of starvation against 1.2 million Palestinians in Gaza for almost a year. No medicine, no food, no fuel and no electricity. When the starved managed to bring down your walls and flooded into Egypt seeking food and essentials, you cried to Egypt to re-build the walls and not to interrupt your genocidal campaign. A nazi like you would make every attempt to hide that from everyone. The starving of the Gaza inhabitants is a crime and a folly by Gush Shalom Global Research, September 19, 2007 Email this article to a friend Print this article Mistreating a million and a half people will make them the most bitter of enemies. Instead of a cruel policy of naked force, we should negotiate with all Palestinians â including Hamas "With our own hands we are uniting a million and half people against us, in bitterness and hatred" says Gush Shalom (Israeli Peace Bloc). "The inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are completely dependent on Israel for their most basic livelihood. This complete dependence was created, consciously and deliberately, by all governments of Israel since 1967. The state of Israel cannot now just shrug off its responsibility for the fate of the inhabitants of Gaza. The people of the Gaza Strip have already been living for a long time in terrible squalor, on the very edge of starvation. Now we push them even much deeper into hell. The state of Israel is today roughly trampling International Law, in indiscriminate collective punishments of a whole civilian population. We, too, will eventually pay the price. This policy of force and oppression is also emptying of content the negotiations supposedly taking place with Abu Mazen and the leadership he heads, presenting him and his followers as accomplices in the terrible suffering caused to their people. There can be no peace without talking to and negotiating with the entire Palestinian people, with all its parts including the Hamas leadership, which has explicitly expressed its willingness to discuss a cease-fire and a mutual end to attacks on both sides of the Gaza border. This is the alternative to the policy of trampling force whose main proponent is Defence Minister Barak, formally leader of the Labour Party - effectively leader of the Extreme Right in Israel".

No it is not. It may be news to you but the jews did not fire rockets at German cities and did not blow themselves up in restaurants and shopping centers. And the Germans tried hard to kill as many innocent jews as possible, Israel does its best to minimize civilian causalities (only complete idiots think otherwise). Unfortunately during wars civilian casualties are unavoidable so you may thank Islamic/Palestinian terrorism for starting yet another round of violence. All they were asked to do was to stop firing rockets at Israel and everyone would live happily ever after. BTW how come I don't remember you express your indignation regarding daily Qassam attacks after Israel withdrew from Gaza 2 years ago? Why were you silent then, did not you realize that it would end in more violence?
Sure people know, you posted these lies before. Israel has in fact been supplying Gaza with electricity, medicine, food and other necessities. No one died from starvation in Gaza, not a single person and the electricity was turned off by Hamas (not Israel) once of twice. Of course due to Qassam attacks they were getting nothing other than necessities from Israel who tried all other measures before the military operation to let your people know that rocket attacks would not be tolerated. Too bad you never learn. That stupidity made current military operation unavoidable. No one is going to put up with daily rocket attacks. Moreover, you have a common border with Egypt, complain to them about your shortages. Israel owes you nothing besides a couple of bullets in the heads of your terrorist leaders. Unfortunately they tend to hide among women and children.
Since the holocaust was committed by the Europeans/Germans, then the compensation should come from Europeaans/Germans, not Arabs. Why take land from Palestinians who have nothing to do with the holocaust? Do you rob someone simply because you have been rob by another before? Create a state of Israel in Europe. Take the land from the Europeans/Germans. That's the only moral solution.
Whether the Jews were or were not entitled to get their country in the Middle East is a separate lengthy and complicated discussion of course, this discussion actually did take place in the UN in 1947-48 and the results are well known. The point of my post was different though. You quoted Mahatma Ghandi who said in 1938 that the jews did not need their own country. The events that took place during the subsequent 7 years made his sanctimonious views ring hollow to approximately 6 million jews. Do you understand why?
