The Australian has quite a conservative pedigree so read the following to see what it has reported!
********
The Australian’s UN aid agency and Red Cross slam Israel over Gaza (extracts follows):
The main UN aid agency in the Gaza Strip is suspending operations after an Israeli tank shell hit one of its convoys during the ceasefire period, killing two drivers.
Richard Miron, a UN spokesman, said the Israeli army had been notified in advance about the UNRWA convoy, which was hit as it approached the Erez crossing with Israel. Two Palestinian forklift drivers were killed.
With the Czech Republic currently holding the EU presidency, its foreign minister Karel Schwarzenberg said: “After the striking of the UN school*, this is another terrible episode, which moreover occurred during the three-hour ceasefire declared by Israel.
* Israel had initially claimed (as per its usual bull) Hamas was firing mortars from the school but the UN man on the spot said that's sheer utter bullsh*t (kaytee's choice of words but with same meaning). Robert Fisk has been right - those Israelis have a supermarket full of canned lies for their atrocities - meant of course principally for their benefactors, the gullible and willing-captive Americans.
And the Red Cross accused Israel of "unacceptable" conduct and breaching international humanitarian law after discovering four emaciated children living next to the corpses of their mothers and other adults in bomb-shattered houses in Gaza City.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said that it had spent four days seeking Israeli guarantees of safe passage so that it could gain access to the houses in the badly damaged Zaytun neighbourhood of the city. It was finally allowed to send in a rescue team and four Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulances yesterday afternoon.
In one house they discovered four small children, alive but too weak to stand, next to the bodies of their dead mothers. In all there were 12 dead bodies lying on mattresses.
In another house they found 15 survivors of the Israeli bombardment, several of them wounded, and in a third, three corpses.
Israeli military scums!
Also from The Australian - Israel shelled Gaza house crowded with civilians: UN.
UN has cited witnesses saying Israeli forces evacuated about 110 Palestinians into a house which they then repeatedly shelled 24 hours later, killing about 30 people.
It said that "according to several testimonies, on 4 January Israeli foot soldiers evacuated approximately 110 Palestinians into a single-residence house in Zeitun (half of whom were children) warning them to stay indoors. Twenty-four hours later, Israeli forces shelled the home repeatedly, killing approximately 30".
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs called it "one of the gravest incidents since the beginning of operations" by Israeli forces in Gaza on December 27.
"Those who survived and were able walked two kilometres to Salah Ed Din road before being transported to hospital in civilian vehicles. Three children, the youngest of whom was five months old, died upon arrival at the hospital," OCHA said in a report on the situation in the battered Gaza Strip.
Heading the Palestinians into a killing chamber for easier targetting, like once their European forefathers were headed by Nazis into the gas chambers.
Neo-Nazi animals but then that would be insulting the animals.
F* Baby killers!
Hitler was a big letdown.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't finish the job, as he should have.
Then we wouldn't have such a big headache today.
I work for one of the very obvious, high-profile American owned firms in the capital. They are an excellent employer in every way, so I won't bad mouth them in any way.
ReplyDeleteThe level of Anti-American feeling being whipped up in this country is getting frightening.
The management today took steps to heighten security, and requested regular police visits.
To avoid untoward incidents outside, we've all been advised to remove our car stickers, which entitles us to company-paid parking at the nearby car-park, and only show the attendant when we enter/exit the carpark.
And we've been advised not to wear any T-shirts with the company logo in public.
I have long sympathised with the plight of the Palestinian people, generously with my checkbook, not just my mouth.
My plea to all in the country is - don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Our economic ties with the United States are very, very important, and beneficial to all sides.
must see:

Unlike the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the paramilitary overlords of the Gaza Strip use civilians routinely for protection in the knowledge that many will be sacrificed to Israeli airstrikes. Unlike the IDF, they deliberately target civilians with their own rockets. At least 70 such rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel in December. This was the criminal act that triggered the current crisis. It was as simple and blatant as the history of the Holy Land is complex, and every time that bewildered Gazans are corralled by Hamas fighters into a human shield, it is compounded by rank cowardice.

KerisHisham is requiring the use of young children for his political purposes to support his Palestine protest.
ReplyDeletehttp://www1.malaysiakini.com/news/96188
Are they going to charge him under the Child Act ?
All the criticisms which were thrown at the Jerit campaign can be turned around toward Hisham.
F*king leave young children out of it !
When is Malaysia going to put its money where its mouth is and boycott EXPORTS to the United States ?
ReplyDeleteOr easy, impose a 5% Cess on all Exports to the United States. No exceptions, including Free Trade Zone and LMWs.
And tell exporters they are only allowed to be paid in any currency other than the US Dollar.

ReplyDeleteI think we should all look at charging Hamas with mass murder. If they
didn't poke Israel with their firecrackers, Israel wouldn't have
retaliated.
Israel is like my neighbor's dog. It's a huge ass Rotweiller. Doesn't
bite anyone, contrary to what they say that it bites people. Then a few
days ago, it bit someone. And why ? Idiot here was poking it with a
stick. I was out there drinking beer and when I saw idiot poking it with
a stick, I was thinking...... should I tell him that Rotweillers can kill
if they bite at the right places ? And the devil in me said, You just
keep quiet and see how long Rotty over there will be patient before he
bites Mad Homo there in the balls. 3 minutes and about 5 pokes later,
Mad Homo became writhing F**ker, because Ah Wong ( the Rotty ) really got
him very near his balls ( Dog must be cock eye, can't bite balls for
nuts ). So my neighbor runs out, screams at the dog, I go all
sympathetic Aiyoh, kena lampa ah ? Kena lampa ah ? And this guy is all
swearing in pain. To cut a long story short, I told my neighbor it's not
the dog's fault and he should be patient because the dog waited about 3
minutes and 5 pokes before he retaliated.......
You know what my neighbor said ?? And this is coming from someone who
had only Form 1 education........
Like those people in Israel. They are already lucky they are all not
dead yet, every day shoot rocket into Israel. ( I know what he actually
meant. He meant to say, those people in Gaza )
I told him, yup, that's one way to look at it, but if in the US, they
would have shot the dog and the guy whose testicles are now bitten, will
sue him, ha ha.....
So, charge Hamas with murder please, someone
Its 10 days more to Barrack Obama's inauguration. He has said a peep about the crisis in Gaza.
ReplyDeleteAt this point it looks like Barrack Obama will be another one of a long line of Israeli poodles occupying the White House.
dear kaytee,
ReplyDeletei share your strong undivided anger over such cruelty and unilateral terrorism over a bunch of hapless group of people.
I'm sorry, I don't see the events as "unilateral terrorism over a bunch of hapless group of people."
ReplyDeleteI see Hamas as just another combatant party. The Palestinian civilian casualties are very unfortunate, but just another of a long list of innocent victims of war.
Not that different from the innocent civilian casualties of the Russian invasion of Georgia. In fact those were greater in number. Anybody cared the fuck about them ??
Hamas is using the same old trick - throwing stones at KT's house and KT will not response? Also KT's PDRM will take action? This time the Isrealis will try to complete the job - not the destruction of Gaza but stationing of international forces and UMNO will be first to station in Gaza to ensure stones will not be thrown at KT's house. With stopping of stone throwing, Hamas and Irealis must come and talk about peace, give and take. Life have to go on. Children must have future.
ReplyDeleteanon of 11:31 AM, January 11, 2009 - your "... the Russian invasion of Georgia" shows an appalling lack of knowledge of current affairs ;-)
ReplyDeleteOk, if we are going to split straws..."The innocent civilian casualties of the Russian incursion into Georgia. In fact those were greater in number than the casualties in Palestine. Anybody cared the fuck about them ?? "
