Israeli soldier: 'I killed 13 childrens today and 

ur next muslims'

Friday, 01 August 2014 10:09

"I [sic] killed 13 childrens [sic] today and ur [sic] next f****** muslims [sic] go to hell b******," Israeli sniper David Ovadia posted on his Instagram account yesterday.

Ovadia directed the comment at a fellow Instagram user who appears to be a Palestinian woman.

The comment was made in response to a picture Ovadia posted of himself laying on the ground aiming his sniper rifle, while dressed in army fatigues. It was quickly spread across social media networks and his account was subsequently closed down.

Since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza more than 316 children have been killed, while more than 2,300 have been injured.

Human rights groups have condemned the targeting of women and children by the Israeli army in particular its shelling of hospitals and UN schools which have been used as shelters for displaced Palestinians.

They have gone on to demand soldiers be held internationally accountable for the deaths of civilians, especially those who are proud of killing children and women.

ISRAEL - Otherwise Occupied / The genius of Israeli evil: It poses as concern

Otherwise Occupied / The genius of Israeli evil: It poses as concern

How to murder human beings without using an explosive or a knife, how to empty them from within, how to steal from workers of the land the thing they hold most dear.

By Amira Hass | Oct. 27, 2014 | 10:06 AM

Israeli evil is not at all banal. Abundant in inventions and innovations as well as in age-old techniques, it trickles like water and bursts out from hidden places. But unlike floods, it does not reach an end, and it affects some while being invisible, undetectable and non-existent for others. The genius of Israeli evil is in its ability to disguise itself as compassion and concern (thus providing Bernard-Henri Lévy and Elie Wiesel with yet another opportunity to praise the Jewish state in widely-read essays).

Take, for example, the inventive technique of Israeli agriculture: two to five days per year of cultivating the land. A shmita (sabbatical) for land every year, instead of remaining idle every seven years. It does so 360 days each year. Our compassionate and generous army allows tens of thousands of Palestinians living in the West Bank to work their land for only three or four or five days per year in order to protect them from attacks by Israelis, colonizers, settlers – in short, Jews. For the rest of the year, the land is a mirage.

Take, for instance, the village of Deir el-Hatab. The settlement of Elon Moreh and its outposts dominate about half of its 12,000 dunams (some 3,000 acres). Because of the proximity to the settlement, the village’s farmers are not permitted to cultivate about 6,000 dunams of their land, nor are they permitted to walk there, graze flocks, rotate crops, plow, weed, watch birds or transmit their family’s accumulated knowledge to the young generation. They may go there only two or three days a year to pick the olives that Allah made to sprout with his rain and that unknown Israelis did not manage to steal.

Evil also excels at being patient. It knows that land whose owners do not access it for 360 days a year does not disappear. It becomes, de facto, land belonging to the master who loves nature and hikes and grazing flocks, just as our ancestors did.

As is written on the sign beside the road leading out of Elon Moreh: “May it be Your will, our God and God of our ancestors, that you lead us in peace and guide our footsteps in peace ... and rescue us from the hand of every foe, ambush and highwaymen and all manner of calamity along the way,” (an excerpt from the Jewish travelers’ prayer.)

Take Deir el-Hatab and multiply it by ... how many? Seven villages? A hundred? Add in the spring of Deir el-Hatab, the water source that the grandmothers of the village’s grandmothers enjoyed and used. It has now become a pool for ritual immersion and a place to relax for Jews only, by the side of the Palestinian-free road leading to Elon Moreh. Multiply it by dozens more springs that have suffered a similar fate.

Put everything together and you get another innovative technique from the producers of Israeli evil: How to murder human beings without using an explosive or a knife, how to empty them from within, how to steal from workers of the land the thing they hold most dear – not only their livelihood and their children’s future, but also the deeply-rooted relationship of love they have with their homeland, which exists without satanic verses or eye-rolling or generous subsidies from the World Zionist Organization’s Settlement Department.

The genius of Israeli evil is that it is broken down into an infinite number of atoms, individual cases that the human brain – and even more so a newspaper column – cannot contain in their entirety, and a single definition cannot conceptualize them. We will write about stolen land, and leave out the demolished home. We will leave out both in favor of writing about the prohibition on family visits in prison, but there will not be enough time to write about the military raids and the invasion of a home with frightened children inside, and the atmosphere of “action” in the army unit.

We will waste days searching for the soldier who aimed a rifle at the expense of the days required to describe the branching out of the siege of Gaza under the shadow of promises of relief measures. We will write about the relief measures, and it will be forgotten that the Gaza Strip continues to function like a detention facility for 1.8 million people. We will write about a detention camp, and people will tell us that we are repeating ourselves. We will write about a 40-percent unemployment rate in Gaza and about how only seven of 40 graduates in nursing from Al-Quds University found work, and people will say: “But what does that have to do with us?”

Evil is very good at recruiting linguistic accomplices. “An intifada is running wild in Jerusalem,” read one headline. When will we write in a Hebrew headline that the built-in, well-thought-out and deliberate discrimination against Palestinians committed by the Interior Ministry, the Jerusalem municipality and the National Insurance Institute for decades continues to run wild and inflict disasters in the city? It is impossible. It’s too long for one headline.

Or a “human-rights violation” – a definition by which this writer also transgresses, a definition that is dragged into dealing with those who have been harmed (“victim,” another despicable collaborating word) instead of those who are doing harm.

To keep our blood pressure down, we have not touched on the evil embodied in the killing of children by Israeli troops, the evil of Israel’s collective disregard of the inevitable wrath that builds up with the burial of each bullet-riddled child, the evil that exists in the evasive wording imposed by so-called objective traditions of news reporting. Killing? Israeli soldiers shoot at Palestinian children because that is the job of soldiers who are sent to protect, with self-sacrifice, the colonialist enterprise and the benefits that it provides to the master nation. Is it any wonder that so few Israelis are emigrating abroad?

By MATTHEW BLAKE FOR MAILONLINE and AFP REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 03:05 GMT, 24 November 2014 | UPDATED: 13:10 GMT, 24 November 2014

With time running out for the biggest chance in years to resolve the Iranian nuclear standoff, Israel has warned it is considering a military strike against the hermit nation should a deal satisfactory to all parties not be reached.

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany (the P5+1) have been locked in talks with Iran for months, seeking to turn an interim deal that expires at 2300 GMT on Monday into a lasting accord.

Such an agreement, after a 12-year standoff, is aimed at easing fears that Tehran will develop nuclear weapons under the guise of its civilian activities, an ambition it hotly denies.

But Israel has branded the deal too weak, claiming it ultimately offers Iran carte blanche to expand its nuclear-weapons programme once its  terms expire in a decade, the Jerusalem Post reported, citing Israeli government sources.

'Reflecting on the deal under discussion with on the eve of the deadline, Israel has issued a stark, public warning to its allies with a clear argument: Current proposals guarantee the perpetuation of a crisis, backing Israel into a corner from which military force against Iran provides the only logical exit,' the newspaper reported.

A government official told the paper Israel has no concrete way of guaranteeing - or even knowing - that Iran will stick to the terms of the agreement, which include allowing inspections of its program's entire supply chain, from the mining of raw material to the syphoning of that material to various nuclear facilities across Iran.

'We're serious': Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened the use of force against Iran several times since 2009, and even sought authorization from his cabinet in 2011

'Our intelligence agencies are not perfect,' an Israeli official said. 'We did not know for years about Natanz and Qom (both key Iranian nuclear sites). And inspection regimes are certainly not perfect. They weren't in the case in North Korea, and it isn't the case now – Iran's been giving the IAEA the run around for years about its past activities.'  

It comes as a last-ditch diplomatic blitz in recent days involving US Secretary of State John Kerry and other foreign ministers to secure a deal appears to have failed to bridge the remaining major differences.

As a result, a senior US State Department official last night said for the first time that the powers and Iran were now discussing putting more time on the clock.

The official said it was 'only natural that just over 24 hours from the deadline we are discussing a range of options ... An extension is one of those options.'

And to Israel's chagrin, the mass dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure – including the destruction, and not the mere warehousing, of its parts - is not one of those options.

'Iran's not being asked to dismantle the nuclear infrastructure,' the Israeli official told the Post, having seen the proposal before the weekend. 'Right now what they're talking about is something very different. They're talking about Ayatollah Khamenei allowing the P5+1 to save face.'

He added: 'You've not dismantled the infrastructure, you've basically tried to put limits that you think are going to be monitored by inspectors and intelligence. And then after this period of time, Iran is basically free to do whatever it wants.'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened the use of force against Iran several times since 2009 and three years ago even asked his cabinet to authorise such a strike. Iran's nuclear effort has expanded significantly since.

'The prime minister is a very serious man who knows the serious responsibility that rests on his shoulders. He wouldn't say the statements that he made if he didn't mean them.'

'People have underestimated Israel many, many times in the past,' he continued, 'and they underestimate it now.'

And today, Netanyahu welcomed the likelihood that the deal could be put on ice in a bid to thrash out a solution to suit all concerned. 

'No deal is better than a bad deal,' he said. 'The deal that Iran was pushing for was terrible. A deal would have left Iran with the ability to enrich uranium for an atom bomb while removing the sanctions.'

'The right deal that is needed is to dismantle Iran's capacity to make atomic bombs and only then dismantle the sanctions. Since that's not in the offing, this result is better, a lot better,' he said, in response to news the Vienna talks were likely to break off and resume next month.

It came after US Secretary of State John Kerry met his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif for the sixth time since Thursday in an attempt to break the deadlock.

'No Stop'': With a deadline approaching for a nuclear deal, an Iranian official said Sunday that the discussion may soon have to shift 

from trying to reach an agreement to extending negotiations past the target date

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said however that the parties would still make a 'big push tomorrow (Monday) morning to try and get this across the line'.

'Of course if we're not able to do it, we'll then look at where we go from there,' he said.

'We're still quite a long way apart and there are some very tough and complex issues to deal with'.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was expected in the Austrian capital early Monday, completing the line-up of all the six powers' foreign ministers.

This included Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, a key player in the talks. Earlier in the week he said all the elements were in place for a deal with just 'political will' missing. 

Diplomats on both sides say that despite some progress, the two sides remain far apart on the two crucial points of contention: uranium enrichment and sanctions relief.

Enriching uranium renders it suitable for peaceful purposes like nuclear power but also, at high purities, for the fissile core of a nuclear weapon.

Tehran wants to massively ramp up the number of enrichment centrifuges -- in order, it says, to make fuel for future reactors -- while the West wants them dramatically reduced.

Iran wants painful UN and Western sanctions that have strangled its vital oil exports lifted, but the powers want to stagger any relief over a long period of time to ensure Iranian compliance with any deal.

CRUEL ISRAEL - Israel has empowered, not weakened Hamas

Israel has empowered, not weakened Hamas

With enemies like Israel, who needs friends? Last updated: 07 Sep 2014 12:22

Sharif Nashashibi

The vast majority of Palestinians approve of Hamas's conduct during the war, writes Nashashibi [EPA]

Although Israel had vowed to deal a decisive blow to Hamas, the Palestinian faction has gained huge domestic popularity, and is in some respects stronger than it was prior to the latest Gaza onslaught.

Meanwhile, domestic approval ratings for Benjamin Netanyahu, who waged the conflict, have plummeted from 82 percent when the ground invasion began, to just 38 percent after he accepted a ceasefire.

"The Israeli prime minister is now facing a war within his own government," wrote Foreign Policy magazine.

His subsequent threats against Hamas look like a desperate attempt to shore up his position. Acting on them may well be seen by Israelis as flip-flopping, political opportunism, or a lack of a coherent strategy. As such, Netanyahu seems to have painted himself into a corner.

On the other hand, a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), and published on September 2, reveals a rise in Hamas's popularity that is "unprecedented since 2006". This is in stark contrast to a Pew poll published in June this year, in which only 35 percent of Palestinians viewed the faction favourably.

Its resurgence is due to Israel's devastation of Gaza, not despite it. Netanyahu has achieved the opposite of what he intended: instead of weakening Hamas, he has greatly empowered it. This should come as no surprise.

"Netanyahu has achieved the opposite of what he intended: instead of weakening Hamas, he has greatly empowered it. This should come as no surprise. The same happened with previous attacks against Gaza..."

The same happened with previous attacks against Gaza, and the popularity of Hezbollah - now widely reviled at home and regionally for its intervention in Syria - skyrocketed during and after Israel's last invasion of Lebanon in 2006.

Civilian suffering

Yet Israel seems intent on maintaining the same strategy of inflicting massive suffering on civilians, in the hope that they will turn on their own leaders rather than blame those causing the suffering. Despite being morally bankrupt and a violation of international law, it has been amply proven that this approach is counter-productive for Israel.

The PSR poll reveals the vast majority of Palestinians approve of Hamas's conduct during the war. However, looking ahead, arguably more important is how Palestinians would vote in legislative and presidential elections if they were held today.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh would decisively beat the incumbent Mahmoud Abbas, and even Marwan Barghouti, a Fatah leader imprisoned by Israel who is widely considered a national icon.

Haniyeh would receive even more votes in the West Bank - where Hamas has been largely driven underground by Israel and the Palestinian Authority over the last several years - than he would in his Gaza stronghold. Regarding parliamentary elections, 46 percent of voters would choose Hamas, while 31 percent would opt for Fatah, compared with 32 percent and 40 percent, respectively, two months ago. Again, Hamas would receive more votes in the West Bank than Gaza.

The poll results suggest an almost impossible situation for Palestinian democracy. Elections are supposed to take place in the coming few months as per the national unity deal signed earlier this year, and 69 percent of Palestinians want them to take place within the next few to six months.

However, in the immediate aftermath of the Gaza onslaught, there is little - if any - talk of elections. The reconciliation process itself in jeopardy, with Abbas threatening on September 7 to end it over the issue of Gaza's governance.

In any case, Israel would do all it could to stop elections taking place - or failing that, from being free and fair - particularly if Hamas was expected to win. Given its occupation and fragmentation of Palestine, Israel could easily play spoiler, as it has done with previous elections that were held under less severe circumstances than exist today.

Furthermore, Abbas and his Fatah party may not be in a rush to participate in elections if they think they will lose, not least because they have governed the West Bank unchallenged for several years.

If elections do take place and Hamas wins, Palestinians will likely face Israeli and Western sanctions for daring to exercise their democratic right, as happened when the party won the parliamentary vote in 2006. The result could be a renewal of factional tensions and subsequent national division.

These scenarios suggest that Hamas faces an uphill struggle translating popularity into ballot papers, assuming the benefits to its current standing do not wear off by then (this could happen quickly if the situation in Gaza does not improve, or deteriorates further).

Democratic rights

In any case, it would be unwise, indeed self-damaging, for Fatah to be seen by Palestinians as dragging its feet regarding elections - not out of consideration to Hamas, but because the people deserve the long-overdue resumption of their democratic rights, and because both factions agreed to this when they reconciled.

Israel and its allies, too, would do well to realise that interfering in the electoral process, particularly to the detriment of Hamas, would be self-defeating, as it would only add to the latter's popularity. Having said that, since Israel has not yet put two and two together, it is unlikely to do so anytime soon.

For now, at least, its Gaza attack has inadvertently helped its enemy out of a difficult regional situation that was marked by increasing isolation. Hamas seems to be back in the good books of Iran and Hezbollah, with whom relations became strained after it backed the Syrian revolution against their ally Bashar al-Assad.

Tehran, once a major financier of Hamas, has openly boasted of its military assistance in this latest war, and congratulated the resistance against Israel. Hamas's ties with Turkey and Qatar have also been solidified. Doha has offered to help rebuild Gaza, and Ankara's relations with Israel - once warm - have soured further.

These regional developments have played well among Palestinians, some two-thirds of whom viewed the involvement of Iran, Turkey and Qatar over Gaza most positively, according to the PSR poll. Hamas has Netanyahu to thank for its domestic and regional resuscitation. With enemies like Israel, who needs friends?

CRUEL ISRAEL - Israel destroys second largest residential tower in Gaza

By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited/Yahoo India News – 3 hours ago

Gaza, Aug 26 (IANS) A series of powerful explosions wrecked the northern part of Gaza City after Israeli war jets struck a 14-floor residential tower with four heavy missiles, a TV report said Monday.

Around 25 people, most of them paramedics and journalists, were injured in the heavy airstrike on the residential tower, which consists of 100 apartments and 150 stores, the pro-Hamas al-Aqsa Television quoted Ashraf al-Qedra, the health ministry spokesperson as saying, according to Xinhua.

Witnesses said four small rockets were fired from Israeli drones and after a short while, four heavy bombs landed on the huge building and turned it into rubble. Ambulances rushed to the neighbourhood and evacuated the casualties.

This residential town, located in Nasser Street, is known as the Italian residential compound. It was built in 1995 by an Italian construction company.

The residents of the tower said they received warning phone calls from Israeli army speakers, telling the residents to evacuate their houses because there are apartments in the residential towers used by Hamas movement.

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli jets destroyed another residential tower in Gaza City's Remal neighbourhood in Gaza City, leaving dozens injured.

Israel and Hamas resumed fighting after the indirect negotiations in Cairo, aiming at achieving ceasefire in the hostility which began July 8, had collapsed Tuesday.

More than 2,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 10, 000 injured as a result of the Israeli offensive. Sixty-seven Israelis have died, 64 of them were soldiers.

CRUEL ISRAEL - Israeli Atrocities In Palestine Can Be Resolved Without Interference From The U.S - Mahathir

Published on Tuesday, 12 August 2014 22:36

The issue on the cruelty of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians could be stopped if the US were to cease supporting Israel. File pic: says.com

SEPANG: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad opined that the issue on the cruelty of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians could be stopped if the United States of America (US) were to cease in its support for Israel.

He said because of the US support for Israel, the Palestinians had been suffering for more than 60 years due to the war.

"For as long as Britain and the US continue to support Israel, it (the war) will not end," he said after flagging off the 1Malaysia Putera Club Humanitarian Aid Mission to Gaza, Palestine, by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the KL International Airport, here today.

On the cool response by other Arab countries to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, Mahathir said it was because they regarded the Hamas fighters were on good terms with the Ikhwanul Muslimin.

He said the Arab countries regarded Ikhwanul Muslimin as their enemy and would not assist Palestine.

Mahathir hit out at the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) for not being able to resolve the problem.

On the contributions by Malaysians for the people in Gaza, Mahathir said he was proud to see that Malaysians, regardless of race and religion, were willing to help the Palestinians.
