They are no better but they are no worse than any other national group. What they aspire to, above all, is a piece of land to call their own on which to live in freedom and dignity. We question the motives of people who go to the extreme of calling them a nation of gangsters. We question the motives of people who liken them to the connivers of Apartheid when Israel has absolute equality for Arabs and Israelis while the Palestinians have racist discriminating laws against selling land to Jews.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385404980348198751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1174232625712672742009-01-12T19:22:00.000+08:002009-01-12T19:22:00.000+08:00Wonder who will benefit with the reports of riots ...Wonder who will benefit with the reports of riots <BR/><BR/>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1111203/Cities-world-platform-hundreds-thousands-protesters-Gaza-fighting.html<BR/><BR/>http://rawstory.com/news/2008/London_riots_over_Israels_Gaza_campaign_0110.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-42427566316156413192009-01-12T15:40:00.000+08:002009-01-12T15:40:00.000+08:00Anon of 12:54 PM, January 12, 2009 and 2:23 PM, Ja...Anon of 12:54 PM, January 12, 2009 and 2:23 PM, January 12, 2009 - presumably the same person.<BR/><BR/>Just a friendly caution - please do not cut & paste entire articles onto the comment section - I welcome your comments but not such cut & paste spamming - I suggest a short summary with a link, just like Anon of 10:53 AM, January 12, 2009 had done - so that if anyone is interested in pursuing the subject he/she can jump to that blog or news online.<BR/><BR/>In future I will delete all cut & paste spamming if I deem the articles too long or not related to the thread of my post.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-81731504296613790992009-01-12T15:29:00.000+08:002009-01-12T15:29:00.000+08:00Hello Anonymous that made a posting at 8.06am on t...Hello Anonymous that made a posting at 8.06am on the 12th of January, 2009,<BR/><BR/>Peace be with you.

Israel is often condemned by the media for their 'disproportionate response.'<BR/>I was privileged to sit in on a security briefing about Israel 's defense policies and practices. What I learned was shocking and is never reported by the media. Hamas and other terrorist groups use their own civilian population in their fight against Israel .<BR/><BR/>Terrorist tactics go way beyond using women as human shields. When planning an attack against Israel , Hamas will round up children, the elderly and even pregnant women and herd them to the area from which they intend to launch their attack. Once these helpless people are rounded up and taken to the place from which Hamas will launch its rockets into Israel , they are forced to surround the missile launchers and remain in place until Hamas allows them to leave. If the people refuse to cooperate, they are killed on the spot or revenge is taken out on their families.<BR/><BR/>Why is Hamas using helpless civilians to serve as human shields for their missile launchers? This is the most insidious part of Hamas' plan. You see, Israel possesses the capability to pin point the exact location from which Hamas launches its rockets. If Israel elects to fire back, who are they going to kill but the innocent children, elderly and pregnant women Hamas has placed around their missile launchers?<BR/><BR/>This is often the reason the media paints Israel as the "bad guys." Frequently we hear reports of an Israeli air strike killing women and children in the process of targeting some known group of terrorists or terrorist leader. What the liberal media never mentions is that these innocent people were being held hostage by Hamas to surround their missile launchers, in essence, daring Israel to retaliate.<BR/><BR/>If Arafat left no other lesson behind for the Palestinian people, he taught them how to effectively manipulate the press and Hamas has learned this lesson well. They know that if Israel strikes back killing women and children it will give the media a hay day creating another black eye for Israel . In addition, Hamas often uses public locations to store weapons and civilian housing complexes as terrorist bases of operation. When such places come to the attention of the IDF, in consideration for the civilians living in and around these Hamas strongholds, Israel will often telephone an advance warning that they intend to strike. In all my days I have never heard of any army warning its enemy of the date and approximate time it intends to launch an attack. Israel 's intention is to save innocent lives, and Hamas uses this to their advantage thus giving them time to relocate their weapons and their fighters.<BR/><BR/>To further stack the cards in their favor, Hamas will often force innocent children, women and the elderly onto the rooftops of places Israel is preparing to strike in order to make certain there are civilian casualties for the media to see and report. The Palestinian people have no choice in the matter. The next day newspapers around the world print headlines something like… "Israeli air strike kills women and children in housing complex …." The Israelis are not fighting against people who value life. They are fighting against evil terrorists who think nothing about sacrificing innocent and helpless people who are their own flesh and blood in their fight against Israel .<BR/><BR/>Where are the investigative reporters who used to report the news without interjecting their own slants and biases and who would dig for and report the truth? The world must consider the nature of the enemy Israel is facing. As terrible as 9/11 was for America , we have had only a slight taste of terrorism in our land.<BR/><BR/>People everywhere who value life and who hold fast to the concepts of freedom and democracy must start paying close attention to what is happening in Israel . We must read every newspaper account with a questioning mind. Just because it is in print does not make it true. If we fail to stand up and speak out in support of Israel and against terrorism, we will soon be wrapped in the clutches of terrorists much like a boa constrictor wraps its victim squeezing the life out of it until the victim can no longer breathe. We must be alert and make it our business to be educated. Read newspapers…yes. Watch news reports…yes - but we must make it a point to dig below the surface. The only way to defeat our enemy is to know our enemy.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

After Hamas came to power, the Islamic group began enforcing sharia law more strictly, though not officially. Christians were the first to feel the squeeze. Some Christian men felt compelled to grow beards and women donned head scarves to downplay their identities as non-Muslims.<BR/><BR/>Sharia law is implemented fully in some nations, including Iran and Saudi Arabia. When Palestinian voters elected Hamas in 2006, organization spokesman Hamed Bitawi declared: �The Quran is our constitution, Muhammad is our prophet, jihad is our path, and dying as martyrs for the sake of Allah is our biggest wish.�<BR/><BR/>Palestinian officials in Gaza denied the adoption of Islamic law. However, Palestinian Media Watch, an organization that monitors the Arab press, says the group is lying.<BR/><BR/>�Contrary to today�s denials, official Hamas leaders have proudly announced in the Hamas-run media in the last two months that this Islamic penal code was being prepared,� the media watchdog said. �Indeed, senior Hamas leaders went so far as to say that when these laws are implemented, they will have force not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank.�<BR/><BR/>Media Watch also noted that Hamas newspaper Al-Rissala reported, �The Bureau of Islamic Law is preparing a penal code in order to implement Sharia-Islamic Law.�<BR/><BR/>Hamas has financial backing from Iran, which supplies the group with rockets and weapons used to attack Israel. Despite espousing separate branches of Islam � Hamas is Sunni; Iran is Shiite � the organization shares the expressed wish of Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to wipe out Israel. The Hamas charter states: �Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.�<BR/><BR/>Israel withdrew unilaterally, both residents and soldiers, from the Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving the territory entirely under Palestinian jurisdiction. Then, in a coup in 2007, Hamas took over the Gaza Strip, ousting its rival party Fatah and assassinating Fatah loyalists. Since then, rocket fire launched at Israel�s southern communities increased. In December, a six-month period of calm collapsed and led to Israel�s Operation Cast Lead, the bombings and attacks against Hamas militants in Gaza in retaliation for bombings of Israel.<BR/><BR/>© 2009 Newsmax.

Its leaders knew as a matter of certainty this would lead to civilian casualties if there was a ground battle. Virtually every aspect of its operations is illegal under international humanitarian law – ‘war crimes’ in the emotive language usually reserved for the Israelis....if the IDF had no regard for civilian lives it would never have leafleted and telephoned residents in Gaza, warning them when it was about to attack their area: after all, that also gives Hamas notice – hardly the act of an army devoted to military victory at all costs. Similarly, the IDF’s unilateral commitment to a daily three-hour ceasefire to permit the evacuation (to Israel) of casualties, and for the passage of “humanitarian aid”, also allows Hamas time to regroup and redeploy for future attacks. <BR/><BR/>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/dominic_lawson/article5489436.eceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
