Israeli wants peace, one imposed on its own terms, based on the acceptance of defeat by the Palestinians.
The True Story Behind This War is Not the One Israel is Telling.
THE world isn't just watching the Israeli government commit a crime in Gaza; we are watching it self-harm. This morning, and tomorrow morning, and every morning until this punishment beating ends, the young people of the Gaza Strip are going to be more filled with hate, and more determined to fight back, with stones or suicide vests or rockets. Israeli leaders have convinced themselves that the harder you beat the Palestinians, the softer they will become. But when this is over, the rage against Israelis will have hardened, and the same old compromises will still be waiting by the roadside of history, untended and unmade. [read more]

In World War 1, ‘imperialists’ were threat to the civilized world. In World War 11, ‘Nazis and Facists’ were threat to the civilized world. In Cold War, Communists were threat to the “free world.” And now “Muslim terrorists” are threat to the civilized world. It is not a chance that there is always a threat to the “civilized world,” and to save the “civilized world” from this threat, slaughter of human being is a must.
Ask a question? Why is it that [western] democratic Britain and [western] democratic France have been the occupiers of the world? Why is it that the only [western] democracy in Middle East Israel is an occupi er? Why is it that the most populous [western] democracy on this earth India is an occupier? Why is it that the most [western] powerful democracy in the world America is the occupier of the world?
GAZA: How Biased Media Manipulates the Facts THE media coverage of the war in Gaza by Western television companies is largely unfair and biased because of a refusal to show viewers the real images of the victims. One of the reasons for this is Israel’s decision not to allow the Western media in to Gaza. In addition to this outrageous censorship by a so-called democracy, we get the usual arguments that most of the images shown by the Arab media are too shocking to show the viewing public in the West. Admittedly, the horrific clip sent to me of a child’s head lying detached, among debris in Gaza did make me gasp.[read more]
War on Gaza ends, miseries unfold
At least 1,340 Gazans were killed and at least 5,320 others were hospitalized as a result of the onslaught.

"About 1,500 factories and workshops, 20 mosques, 31 security installations and 10 water or sewage pipes were also damaged," it added.
Egypt keeping Iran aid ship from Gaza
An Iranian aid ship bound for Gaza has not yet received permission to dock at the Egyptian port of Al-Areesh, 50km off the coastal strip.
Ahmad Navvab, a provincial Red Crescent director, said Wednesday that although Egyptian authorities issued permits for the aid's dispatch via the Al-Areesh port, they have so far prevented the ship to drop anchor.
"Their pretext is that the port is at full capacity and lacks necessary space for another ship," said Navvab, adding that Egyptian authorities issued permits only after coming under international pressure.[read more]

 UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes (L) |
The UN humanitarian chief says it is "absolutely critical" for Israel to open all border crossings to the Gaza Strip immediately.
John Holmes said on Tuesday that to rebuild the war-ravaged Gaza, it is "absolutely critical" that Israel reverse the ban it has enforced since Hamas came to power in 2007 and that it allows cement, pipes and other building materials to enter the Palestinian territory.
He stressed that his top priority will be to get all Gaza border crossings opened as soon as possible "otherwise, the reconstruction effort won't get off first base."[read more]
'Israel failed to achieve objectives' - to Marginalise Hamas
 Khalil Jahshan |
The following is Press TV's exclusive interview with Khalil Jahshan, a lecturer in International Studies and Languages at Pepperdine University who has served as President of the National Association of Arab Americans (NAAA).
Press TV: The violence in Gaza is seemingly over. How has the war affected both sides?
Jahshan: Well, despite Israel's declaration of victory, I do not think it has achieved its declared objectives in Gaza. Yes, it has probably weakened military power of Hamas to some extent bur it did not definitely destroy Hamas and did not definitely change the equation in the region as their prime minister and foreign minister declared as their main objective.
First, it is a unilateral declaration of ceasefire which proves the non-symmetrical nature of that conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians in general and between Israel and Hamas in particular.
Second, Hamas was not really consulted. It was left out to be contacted by the third and forth parties. When you have important ceasefires and agreements like this one, negotiated indirectly from long distance, history teaches us that they do not last.
They used the excuse that Hamas wants to destroy Israel and the classification of Hamas by the US and later by the EU as a terrorist organization to say they are not fit to be at the negotiation table or even to be contacted with. [read more]

Hamas claims victory in Israel's war on Gaza
 |
Marzouk: Of course, it is very clearly a victory. When the aggression started, they [Israel] wanted five objectives for this war; to remove Hamas from governing Gaza Strip, to stop the rocket-launching from Gaza, to stop any kind of weapons from [entering] Gaza, and to replace Mahmoud Abbas back in power again (in Gaza) -- to change the formula. They are trying to [make] a good picture of the Israeli leader and the Israeli army.
Marzouk: We don't mind if Ban Ki-moon talks with us. We have prepared for everything. We [would] provide complete security for Ban Ki-moon, and we [would] help the United Nations employees anywhere in the Gaza Strip, and we welcome any meeting with him. But this decision belongs to him. And for the Israelis, if they did not withdraw completely from the Gaza Strip, we can start resisting those troops.
Marzouk: It is not our objective to get the money, and it is very clear to us that should not go to Mahmoud Abbas. What we need and want is that this money goes to the people directly; go to the people whose houses were destroyed; to the universities; to schools. And they can do that themselves. Or they can send advisors, or somebody to monitor their money in Gaza Strip. We do not mind the 'how' or the way to send the money and give it to the people, but we will never accept any step like this to give the money to Mahmoud Abbas.

UK women blast media bias toward Israel
Gazan women mourn over the loss of their loved one.
Muslim and Jewish women in the UK have condemned mainstream media outlets for self-censorship in their coverage of Israeli conduct in Gaza. British women, who gathered outside the BBC Broadcasting House in London on January 19, say the mass media refuses to air reports of women giving birth at checkpoints, the expulsions, thefts of land and resources and the imprisonment of children.
The protesters condemned the BBC, saying it propagates sketchy and biased news about the Gaza conflict.

Neither does it report Jewish opposition to this Zionist slaughter of the innocents," the protesters said in a statement.[read more]

Egypt has denied assertions that Israel stopped its military operations in the Gaza Strip after signing a security agreement with Cairo.
Israel and the US have publicly signed an agreement to restrict arms flow into Gaza, raising speculation that Egypt had promised to cooperation for the realization of the deal.

Sir Gerald Kaufman Veteran Labour MPUK
Text : I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine.I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there since more times than I can count. I had family in Israel and have friends in Israel.
My parents came to Britain as refugees from Poland. Most of their families were subsequently murdered by the Nazis in the holocaust. My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed.
My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The current Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt among Gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians. The implication is that Jewish lives are precious, but the lives of Palestinians do not count.
It is time for our government to make clear to the Israeli government that their conduct and policies are unacceptable, and to impose a total arms ban on Israel.
It is time for peace, but real peace, not the solution by conquest which is the Israelis' real goal but which it is impossible for them to achieve.

Israel 'can be tried for war crimes'
 Amnesty International says the streets and alleyways of densely-populated Gaza are littered with evidence of indiscriminate Israeli usage of incendiary weapons. |
Human rights group Amnesty International accuses Israel of war crimes, saying its use of white phosphorus shells in Gaza was indiscriminate.
"Such extensive use of this weapon in Gaza's densely populated residential neighborhoods is inherently indiscriminate," Donatella Rovera, a Middle East researcher with Amnesty International, said in a statement on Monday.
"Its repeated use in this manner, despite evidence of its indiscriminate effects and its toll on civilians, is a war crime," she charged.
The statement was released after British weapons expert Chris Cobb-Smith found widespread evidence of the use of the incendiary material in an on-the-ground study on Sunday. [read more]

Olmert’s Poodle
As Israel entered the third week of its Gaza blitz, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regaled a crowd in Ashkelon with an astonishing tale.
He had, said Olmert, whistled up George Bush, interrupted him in the middle of a speech and told him to instruct Condi Rice not to vote for a U.N. resolution Condi herself had written. Bush did as told, said Olmert.

Gaza ceasefire negotiations
Hamas and Israel consider ceasefire proposal as Israel steps up campaign.
For the first time since the Israeli attack on Gaza began, the diplomatic effort approached a tangible achievement. Hamas announced Wednesday it will conditionally accept a ceasefire proposal offered by Egypt. Israel sent Amos Gilad, General Major (Reserves) to discuss the Egyptian proposal in Cairo. The Real News spoke to George Rishmawi, founder of a multimedia independent network in Palestine called the International Middle East Media Center. Rishmawi says the proposal offers an immediate end to violence, but does not necessitate an Israeli withdrawal, a condition Hamas said it would not sacrifice. Israel's conditions were pending on a complete cessation of the rocket attacks from Gaza and an arms embargo. Further diplomatic efforts by Condoleezza Rice have involved the US Navy. Rice urged Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tzipi Livni, to sign a memorandum of understanding stipulating the United States will secure the end of arms smuggling into Gaza by monitoring the Gaza shore.[view video]

Israeli imposed war damages 20,000 houses in Gaza
The Palestinian Central Bureau Statistics says the Israeli onslaught on Gaza has cost the Palestinian economy at least $1.6 billion.
The bureau, in its latest report, said that Israel has reduced some 4,000 residential buildings to rubble and damaged 16,000 more houses during the conflict.
This brings the number of houses destroyed or devastated in the Israeli attacks to 20,000, which consists of 15 percent of all Gaza structures.
