Al-Aqsa hospital attack


“The big question is - if I lived in Gaza, would I fire a rocket? - probably yes,” posted on Twitte Liberal Democrat MP David Ward.
"A grande questão é - jogaria foguetes [em Israel] se vivesse em Gaza? - Provavelmente sim," publicou o deputado do Partido Liberal Democrat inglês David Ward. Causou um escândalo no partido, mas recebeu cumprimentos de milhares e milhares de londrinos.
Eu não pegaria em armas porque sou profundamente contra a violência, porém, certamente resistiria de alguma forma até meu país conseguir
liberdade e soberania. E você?

Democracy Now: "A place of indescribable loss"   

"I reiterate my numerous calls for this blockade [on Gaza Strip] to be lifted once and for all. 
The continued failure to properly ensure accountability on both sides following earlier escalations of hostilities in Gaza is of serious concern. 
The culture of impunity for alleged violations of international law invites further transgressions and the victims of the past become victims again. War crimes and crimes against humanity are two of the most serious types of crimes in existence, and credible allegations that they have been committed must be properly investigated. So far, they have not been.
Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip could amount to war crimes.
There seems to be a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes."
Said the UN Hight Commissioner for Rights chief Navi Pillay, 23/07/14 in Geneva, at the emergency meeting of the Security Counsil. Pillay also condemned indiscrimanete rocket atacks by Palestinian resistance.
The 46-nation council - which is the United Nations' top human rights forum - was poised to call for an international inquiry into Israel's offensive in the Palestinian territories.
The meeting was called by Arab and fellow Islamic nations.
It was set to vote on a resolution lodged by Palestine - which has observer status at the UN - condemning "the widespread, systematic and gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms" since Israel launched its crackdown last month to stem rocket attacks by Palestinian fighters.
The resolution also called on the international community to "urgently dispatch an independent, international commission of inquiry" tasked with probing "all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip".
Meanwhile, bias John Kerry arrived in Israel for unilateral talks.
Shall US double standard never end?
A Alta Comissária das Nações Unidas para Direitos Humanos, a juíza sul-africana Navi Pillay, declarou na reunião do Conselho de Segurança da ONU na manhã do dia 23 de julho que Israel pode ter cometido crimes contra a humanidade. A Resolução principal foi de logo despachar um observador independente à Faixa de Gaza.

Even Israeli militaries speak like the great deceiver Mark Regev
Até os militares israelenses usam as artimanhas do enganador Regev 

Um dos foguetes do Hamas aterrizou perto de pistas do aeroporto Ben Gurion, de Tel Aviv. A estratégia funcionou. Conseguiu atingir Israel no bolso e no orgulho. O governo ficou possesso de ficar ilhado como os palestinos estão há décadas.
A maioria das companhias aéreas estrangeiras cancelaram seus voos já no dia 23. Porém, o ex-prefeito de Nova York, o bilionário sionista Michael Bloommberg, declarou que voaria para Tel Aviv em demonstração de solidariedade com a operação militar de Israel.
Ele pode ir porque o aeroporto está todo inteiro, como a cidade. O aeroporto de Gaza, construído no período de Yasser Arafat, só conseguiu funcionar por intermitência poucos meses antes de Israel bombardeá-lo definitivamente e obrigar quem quisesse ir à Palestina a chegar em Ben Gurion e encher os bolsos dos israelense com as taxas aeroportuárias. Sobretudo os turistas cristãos que vão à Cisjordânia e caem na armadilha financeiro/ocupacionista como patinhos. Pois usam só as agências de viagem israelenses e não consumem absolutamente nada nas cidades palestinas que abrigam os sítios cristãos dos quais cuidam muito bem.
Major international airlines have suspended flights to and from Israel internacional airport because of concerns over security, after a rocket fired from Gaza struck near aiport runways. But US billionaire and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg said that he would fly to Ben Gurion to show solidarity to Israel's Operation Defensive Edge which, by the way, killed six Gazans early on this Wednesday during prolonged shelling of the southern town of Khan Yunis and 20 more were wounded, most of them seriously. Two more were killed by Israeli fire in the northe of the Strip, medics said.
Channel 4: Jon Snow inside al-Shifa Hospital 

Open letter to Barack Obama from Mads Gilbert, a doctor in Shifa, Gaza Strip, July 21 2014
Carta aberta para Obama de um médico em Shifa, na Faixa de Gaza
"My respect for the wounded is endless, in their contained determination in the midst of pain, agony and shock; my admiration for the staff and volunteers is endless, my closeness to the Palestinian "sumud" gives me strength, although in glimpses I just want to scream, hold someone tight, cry, smell the skin and hair of the warm child, covered in blood, protect ourselves in an endless embrace - but we cannot afford that, nor can they.
Ashy grey faces - Oh NO! not one more load of tens of maimed and bleeding, we still have lakes of blood on the floor in the ER, piles of dripping, blood-soaked bandages to clear out - oh - the cleaners, everywhere, swiftly shovelling the blood and discarded tissues, hair, clothes,cannulas - the leftovers from death - all taken away...to be prepared again, to be repeated all over. More then 100 cases came to Shifa last 24 hrs. enough for a large well trained hospital with everything, but here - almost nothing: electricity, water, disposables, drugs, OR-tables, instruments, monitors - all rusted and  as if taken from museums of yesterdays hospitals.But they do not complain, these heroes. They get on with it, like warriors, head on, enormous resolute.
And as I write these words to you, alone, on a bed, my tears flows, the warm but useless tears of pain and grief, of anger and fear. This is not happening!
And then, just now, the orchestra of the Israeli war-machine starts its gruesome symphony again, just now: salvos of artillery from the navy boats just down on the shores, the roaring F16, the sickening drones (Arabic 'Zennanis', the hummers), and the cluttering Apaches. So much made and paid in and by US.
Mr. Obama - do you have a heart?
I invite you - spend one night - just one night - with us in Shifa. Disguised as a cleaner, maybe.
I am convinced, 100%, it would change history.
Nobody with a heart AND power could ever walk away from a night in Shifa without being determined to end the slaughter of the Palestinian people.
But the heartless and merciless have done their calculations and planned another "dahyia" onslaught on Gaza.
The rivers of blood will keep running the coming night. I can hear they have tuned their instruments of death.
Please. Do what you can. This, THIS cannot continue."
Mads
Gaza, Occupied Palestine

A redação da TV Al Jazeera, em Gaza, foi alvo de dois tiros precisos na terça-feira, dia 22. As famílias que moram no prédio saíram assustadas e os funcionários da TV evacuaram os escritórios paa proteger-se e para não pôr a vida dos moradores em perigo.
Por coincidência, isto aconteceu no dia após o ministro das Relações Exteriores de Israel Avigdor Lieberman ter dito a jornais locais que fecharia as operações desta TV informativa em Israel.
Lieberman, que goza de duas cúmplices descaradas na grande mídia, confundiu jornalismo com subserviência sionista acusando a Al-Jazeera de contar mentiras.
Os colegas da Al-Jazeera não contam mentiras. Contam verdade. Contam e a Al-Jazeera divulga o que todos os repórteres internacionais presentes gostariam que seus jornais e televisões divulgassem, e que estas mídias, por razão desconhecida., não o fazem.
"Two very precise shots were fired straight into our building," Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker, reporting from the bureau, said. "We are high up in the building so we had a very strong vantage point over the area. But we have evacuated. "Our office building also has many residential apartments. People [are] leaving, panicked."
The bureau is situated in a residential area of Gaza City.
The attack came a day after Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was quoted by local media as saying his country will work to close down Al Jazeera's operations in Israel.
Al Jazeera "has abandoned even the perception of being a reliable news organisation and broadcasts from Gaza and to the world anti-Israel incitement, lies, and encouragement to the terrorists," Lieberman said.
The network has been covering the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip that started on July 8.
In a statement issued by its lawyer Carter-Ruck, Al Jazeera said: "The sole purpose of those [Al Jazeera] journalists since the commencement of the current conflict has been to convey what is happening in Gaza to those outside that area and to do so without fear or favour.
"They are entitled to do this, as journalists, under international law and the Government of Israel has a duty, under international law, to provide them with protection and most certainly not to target them in the manner threatened by Mr Lieberman yesterday and put into effect today by Israeli soldiers."
The death toll in Israel’s 14-day assault has climbed to more than 608 Palestinians, including dozens of women and children. More than 3,700 others have been injured.
On the Israeli side, 27 troops and two civilians have been killed.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army said one of its soldiers was missing in Gaza, while local media said Sergeant Oron Shaul, 21, was presumed dead.


Binyamin Netanyahu deu ordens para a reunião com o Secretário Geral da ONU acontecer de maneira dramática, com certeza para continuar a fazer-se de vítima em vez de verdugo. Embora nenhum dos foguetes do Hamas tenha conseguido passar no filtro do Iron Dome, Ban Ki-Moon foi recebido no abrigo anti-aéreo da IDF em Tel Aviv (ao lado). Depois ele foi a Ramallah, na Cisjordânia, de onde participou por video da reunião do Conselho de Segurança. Mas não foi a Gaza.
Netanyahu ousou mostrar a Ban Ki-Moon os restos mortais de um foguete do Hamas, alegando quão insuportável a situação de Israel é/está (por causa dele). Se fosse em Gaza, o Secretário da ONU não teria onde abrigar-se e nem como conversar, pois os barulhos das bombas e dos gritos não deixam ouvir nada.
Hipocrisia pouca, é bobagem.
Check out (left, of course) the bomb shelter where PM Netanyahu met with UN Secretary General at the Israeli Air Force headquarters in Tel Aviv. As if Tel Aviv were under great threat. As if Tel Aviv were Gaza.
No shame at all but a lot of melodrama and a massive dose of propaganda.


Meanwhile US Secretary of State John Kerry has called on Hamas to accept a ceasefire along the lines of the Egyptian/US/Israel proposal, to end the conflict that has already killed at least 607 Palestinians and 29 Israelis.
John Kerry spoke in Cairo on Tuesday after meeting Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, whose government offered US/Israel ceasefire proposal last week, which calls for both Israel and Hamas to accept an immediate ceasefire without pre-conditions and dispatch envoys to Cairo for further negotiations.
The Palestinians maintain that the root cause of the problem is the siege of Gaza, and they have consistently demanded that Israel and Egypt lift the blockade. They also want the release of dozens of prisoners who were freed in a 2011 swap for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit but re-arrested this summer.
"The conditions for a ceasefire are... a full lifting of the blockade and then the release of those recently detained in the West Bank," Hamas's leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniya, said on television.
"We cannot go backwards, to a slow death," he said, referring to the Israeli blockade in force since 2006.
UK Parliament Members stand for Palestine

Israeli aircraft and tanks have hit more than 100 targets in the Gaza strip, including five mosques, a football stadium and the home of the late leader of Hamas' military wing, according to Palestinian police.
At least seven Palestinians were reported killed in the new round of air strikes early on Tuesday, bringing the death toll of Israel's two-week assault on the Gaza Strip to more than 600.
Police spokesperson Ayman Batniji said tank shells damaged several houses along the eastern border of the territory and that at least 19 fishing boats were destroyed by navy shells fired from the Mediterranean.
The United Nations has estimated that 80% of the Palestinians dead are civilians. There are thousand of wounded.
In total, 27 Israeli soldiers have died, including three by friendly fire. Nine of the soldiers were killed Monday. Four were on Israeli soil, killed as a result of infiltration by Hamas operatives, the Israel Defense Forces said.
And the great deceiver Mark Regev (video below) still deceiving. 
O número de mortos só aumenta. O Ministro da Saúde de Gaza anunciou mais de 600 mortos palestinos. 80% civis. Há centenas de feridos.
Na segunda-feira dia 21, só em dois bombardeios os F16 israelenses mataram 35 membros de duas famílias gazauís. The Israel Air Force killed 35 members of two Gaza families in separate strikes Monday.
A IDF anunciou 29 mortos. Dois civis e 25 soldados. Três por "fogo amigo", ou seja, mortos por próprios companheiros (comum nas operações israelenses). Quatro mortos em solo israelense por infiltração dos resistentes através de túnel que os leva do lado de lá da fronteira.
Bombardearam a casa do comandante militar do Hamas. Como se o Hamas fosse a Tel Aviv matar a família do comandante da IDF. Matar família é covardia, e crime de guerra. Mas Israel tem as costas quentes. E um enganador inveterado, Mark Regev, que conta lorotas e lorotas de cara lavada.

E israelenses aplaudem cada vez que as bombas ferem e matam dezenas de palestinos

Many Palestinian families fled the Shujayea neighbourhood in the east of Gaza City after a sleepless night that witnessed the heaviest bombardment of the 13-day Israeli assault on Gaza. Heavy tank and artillery shelling left at least 80 people dead, most of them women and children, and over 300 injured, according to Palestinian health ministry sources.
At least 607 Palestinians have been killed since the start of Israel's "Operation Protective Edge" on July 8, of which, the UN says, the majority were civilians. 20 Israelis, 18 soldiers, have also been killed. Including an 2 US volunteers.
And the shelling continued all day long on July 21 across different areas of the Gaza Strip.
The people from those neighbourhoods [in the Gaza's east] say that their homes, their district has been destroyed and they're seeking shelter inside Gaza City."
The Gaza health ministry confirmed that a family home was hit by tank shelling and 17 people were killed, including women and children, in Khan Younis, while a four-storey building was hit in Rafah, killing up to nine people, including four children and an eight-month-old baby.
Pelo menos 607 palestinos já foram mortos por bombardeios, morteiros e tiros de tanques e dos "crueis". A maioria absoluta de civis. A aviação, a marinha e a infantaria israelense atacam constantemente jogando uns panfletos um pouco antes para as famílias evacuarem suas residências para eles poderem bombardear sem serem chateados pela opinião internacional por causa do assassinato de tantas mulheres e crianças. Ir para onde? Mais um hipocrisia pseudo-humanitária.
29 israelenses, dentre eles 27 soldados, morreram em combate com a resistência, incluindo dois voluntários estadunidenses.
A resistência palestina, em vez de diminuir, aumenta diariamente por causa das perdas.
Segundo a IDF, Israel semeia a destruição de moradias e de todos os prédios desta cidade de mais de 5 mil anos, para destruir os túneis acima cavados pela resistência.
Concluindo, o UNRWA, serviço da ONU responsável pelos refugiados, 3 turnos de violência em 5 anos tiveram um ipacto horrível nas crianaçs de Gaza. 72.000 precisam de apoio psicosocial.
The UNRWA said that 3 rounds of violence in 5 years had a terrible impact on the children of Gaza. 72.000 require immediate psychosocial support.

APELO DO MOVIMENTO BDS / BDS CALL 
TAKE ACTION NOW - add your name to the call for a military embargo using the form on the right

Israel has once again unleashed the full force of its military against the captive Palestinian population, particularly in the besieged Gaza Strip, in an inhumane and illegal act of military aggression.
Israel’s ability to launch such devastating attacks with impunity largely stems from the vast international military cooperation and arms trade that it maintains with complicit governments across the world.
Nobel laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Adolfo Peres Esquivel, Jody Williams, Mairead Maguire, Rigoberta Menchú and Betty Williams have published an open letter calling on the UN and governments around the world to impose a military embargo on Israel.
Other signatories include Noam Chomsky, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, playwright Caryl Churchill, US rapper Boots Riley, João Antonio Felicio, the president of the International Trade Union Confederation, and Zwelinzima Vavi, the general secretary of the Confederation of South African Trade Unions.
By importing and exporting arms to Israel and facilitating the development of Israeli military technology, governments are effectively sending a clear message of approval for Israel’s military aggression, including its war crimes and possible crimes against humanity.
TAKE ACTION NOW 
Add your name to the call for a military embargo using the form on the BDS' site
The call will be presented to the new UN High Commissioner for Human Rights when they take up their post in September 2014.

Como se a chacina de ontem no bairro de Shujayea, em Gaza, não bastasse, hoje, dia 21 de julho, tanques israelenses dispararam doze vezes no hospital Al Aqsa em Deir el-Balah. Destruiram parte do prédio, inclusive o de cuidados intensivos e de cirurgia. Mataram no mínimo cinco pessoas na investida e deixaram 70 feridos.
Israeli tanks have shelled today (July 21) the third floor of hospital al-Aqsa, in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least five people and wounding another 70. This hospital is the third to be hit by Israeli tank fire since Israel launched its ground offensive in Gaza four days ago.
Obama is calling for a cease fire with no guarantee of any change in the status quo. The occupation and the blockade would remain unchanged... A very, very bad deal for the Palestinians. An excellent deal for Israel, as always. 
Hamas demands, at least, an end to Gaza Strip blockade. 
O Hama solicita, pelo menos, o fim do bloqueio da Faixa de Gaza.

 Women and children have no safe place in Gaza

Palestine for beginners

On Sunday, the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu 
has dismissed criticism of spiralling Palestinian civilian fatalities, 
saying Israel "tries to avoid them" 
but that Hamas seeks to use “telegenically dead Palestinians” for its cause.
His cynicism really has no boundaries 

Shujayea, Gaza

Massacre: é a palavra exata para o que está acontecendo desde a madrugada de sábado em Gaza. Ao lado, crianças da mesma família.
De sábado para domingo a chacina aumentou mais ainda.
A IDF bombardeou durante a noite o bairro residencial Shujayea.
Centenas de feridos e dezenas de mortos. Muitos meninos.
Depois fez uma pausa de três horas para a Cruz Vermelha tentar socorrer os que ainda viviam e identificar os mortos que conseguisse.
"It is a massacre that is taking place in Shujayea. It is a massacre with the full sense of the word, committed by Israel against innocent civilians, there are no armed men among us, all the streets of Shujayea are packed with dead bodies; the dead bodies and remains of our women and children are lying on the streets of Shujayea. We are searching for our brothers and cousins, who were killed, but could not find them." Cried out a resident of the neighborhood.
It was. It is. Really.
According to Palestinian human rights organisations, women were seen taking their children out to flee from the area, and some of them were killed. "People who were not able to leave the area have been trapped under the Israeli shelling and their destinies are unknown." 
Among those who fled the Shujayea massacre was 29-year-old Ibtessam Batniji, walking with three children and clutching an infant, looking for a taxi to pick them up in a street void of cars.
"We did not sleep, there was bombing everywhere. I don't know where we will go!"
The problem is that there is no way to go in this open air prison.
Israeli attacks have killed 97 people in the Gaza Strip, raising the overall Palestinian death toll to 600 since the start of a major military campaign on July 8, Palestinian health officials say, as the military wing of Hamas claims it has abducted an Israeli soldier.
The vast majority of Sunday's dead were in Shujayea, a district between Gaza City and the Israeli border, with at least 60 people killed there in an intense bombardment which began overnight.

Besides Shujayea, where bodies littered the streets, the worst hit neighbourhoods were al-Shaaf and al-Tuffa.
At least 250 others were wounded in Sunday's barrage, raising the overall Palestinian injury toll during the 13 days of violence to well above 3,000, Ashraf al-Qudra, a Gaza emergency services spokesman, said.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas described the Shujayea deaths as "a massacre" and declared three days of mourning.
Of the 600 people killed in Gaza since the Israeli military offensive began, more than a third were women and children, Qudra said, indicating that 112 of the victims were minors, 41 were women and 25 were elderly.
Meanwhile, there was celebration in Gaza following news of capture of Israeli soldier by Hamas military wing Al-Qassam Brigades. Israel has denied that one of its soldiers had been captured by Hamas in overnight fighting, as the death toll in the Gaza Strip passed 500, the Gaza health ministry informed on Monday, 21.

Domingo (20/07/2014) à noite em Gaza

Entrevista com o porta-voz do Hamas / Hamas's spokesperson

Israel, através da IDF, suas Forças Armadas, continua a matar, ferir e aleijar centenas de pessoas em Gaza.
Israel é o ocupante, Israel é o invasor, Israel é quem aterroriza os palestinos de maneira quotidiana, Israel é quem instala colônias e mais colônias na Cisjordânia, e porém - ai, porém - ainda há gente, muita gente, que acha que o Hamas é culpado dos gazauís serem massacrados como estão sendo.
Inclusive jornalistas, baseados em Jerusalém ou Tel Aviv, é claro, ou controlados por forças maiores ainda do que suas consciências bitoladas. Nos Estados Unidos, os da CNN e da FOX News são porta-vozes do governo de Israel. No país onde está, você sabe quem é comprado.
The people of Gaza are facing the bloody consequences of Israel's dramatic escalation of the 10-day conflict and Hamas's intransigence in the face of mounting calls for a ceasefire. As Israel pressed ahead with a ground offensive in Gaza on Saturday morning, the death toll of Palestinians rose above 300, many of them children. 18/07/14

The Israeli military is using flechette shells, which spray out thousands of tiny and potentially lethal metal darts, in its military operation in Gaza. Which is a war crime.
A IDF está usando bombas com flechas em Gaza, a fim de ferir o máximo de civis. O que é um crime de guerra. Já havia usado nos ataques precedentes em 2008/09 e 2012, mas desta vez com muito maior intensidade.

Israelis sit on hills to watch air strikes on Gaza, some bring drinks and snacks as they cheer the explosions a few miles away.
Enquanto os gazauís explodem e queimam, grupos de israelenses se instalam confortavelmente, com cerveja e tira-gosto, para "assistir" ao bombardeio da Faixa de Gaza. Torcendo e festejando as explosões que parecem atingir mais gazauís.

Speaking at a political rally in the city of Ordu as part of his re-election campaign, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: "(Israelis) have no conscience, no honour, no pride. Those who condemn Hitler day and night have surpassed Hitler in barbarism."
Erdogun ,who has been a vocal opponent of Israel’s operations in the Gaza Strip, has said that the Israel Defence Forces' actions have been "disproportionate" and would derail any efforts to try and foster better Turkish-Israeli relations.
Recep Erdogan, Primeiro Ministro da Turquia, comparou Netanyahu com Hitler em um comício.

"Last Sunday, five days before the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, but when the Palestinian death toll had already reached 160, Barack Obama and David Cameron spoke. The subsequent communiqué said the two leaders discussed Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq and the nuclear talks with Iran. There was no mention of Gaza.
Maybe the subject came up but was kept private. But the omission of any mention of the conflict already dominating UK and US headlines, somehow symbolises Western inertia about the plight of Gaza's 1.8 million inhabitants, one that was intense even before the horror now unfolding in the territory.
That inertia has largely prevailed since 2006, when Hamas unexpectedly won free elections sanctioned by the Bush White House and was then boycotted by the US and its allies; through the siege that demolished Gaza's productive economy, which was imposed by Israel after Hamas's seizure of control in the brief civil war in 2007; through Egypt's closure of the smuggling tunnels that were the main lifeline for Gazans; and through the recent formation by Fatah and an increasingly isolated Hamas of a "unity" government which the West did nothing to promote in the teeth of determined Israeli opposition.
The taboo on Hamas, which the US says is a terrorist organisation, explains why Washington has not helped Qatar to fund the payment of 43,000 public servants. It's also why Qatar can be ruled out as a mediator – a job left to Egypt. But Cairo, which wants to see Hamas – an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood – neutralised as much if not more so than Israel, is not delivering: its ceasefire proposal was rejected by Hamas for not meeting its demands." Donald Macintyre, The Independent.

Na verdade estava correndo tudo bem para os defensores da Operação Protective Edge indefensável. Até que a opinião pública mundial, graças às imagens dos meninos, bombardeados na praia jogando futebol na frente do hotel cheio de correspondentes estrangeiros em Gaza, foram divulgadas pelos repórteres cansados de serem usados. (Israel confia tanto na cumplicidade da grande mídia e em sua impunidade que teve o descabimento de bombardear crianças na cara dos repórteres pensando que fossem ignorar, como veem ignorando a maior parte das imagens "chocantes". Foi demais. Enough is enought! E todo mundo divulgou.
Os telespectadores ficaram chocados e entenderam, sem entender direito, que os gazauís não estão morrendo por causa do Hamas. Estão morrendo porque estão sendo alvo de sádicos que atiram ao alvo como se fosse video-game de guerra e matar meninos valesse mais pontos.
Houve um levante mundial e passeatas foram marcadas no mundo inteiro para o dia 19 de julho. O público respondeu presente nas principais capitais do mundo. Londres foi a mais engajada - mais de 15 mil pessoas desfilaram. Talvez por os londonianos, ao contrário dos parisienses (onde o pró-israelense François Hollande proibiu a passeata familiar e o resultado foi pior), saberem o que significa resistência coletiva.
Durante a Segunda Guerra os londonianos foram bombardeados diariamente pela Força Aérea nazista para que capitulassem, Londres ficou em frangalhos, mas resistiu até o fim de cabeça alta.
Os franceses, com excessão de um punhado de resistentes corajosos, se submeteram à ocupação e têm dificuldades de entender o Hamas.
Gaza: Closed Zone 
By Yoni Goodman - Israeli creator of  "Waltz with Bashir"
about the effects of his country's Gaza Blockade on Palestinians
sobre os efeitos do bloqueio que seu país impõe à Faixa de Gaza desde 2006

Madri também respondeu presente na demanda de fim da ocupação da Palestina e fim do bloqueio da Faixa de Gaza.
Quem conhece a Faixa de Gaza entende perfeitamente o Hamas e os gazauís. Os que são capazes de empatia, também. Os demais, será que acreditam no novo discurso em favor de um cessar-fogo para "proteger as crianças", vítimas de quem?
"Na intransigência do Hamas"? Que defende seu povo em vez de engolir calado ser ocupado, vigiado constantemente, bombardeado de vez em quando, e bloqueado em um espaço exíguo, até com o acesso à pesca restrito.
Aí Obama é empurrado pela opinião pública a ligar para Netanyahu para que Israel aceite negociar cessar-fogo. Mas com o Fatah. E por intermédio de quem? Do ditador do Egito, o general Sissi inimigo número 1 do Hamas, em vez do Emir do Qatar.
Mas Netanyahu disse: Cessar-fogo, nem pensar! Embora Israel, com todo seu aparato militar sofisticado, já tenha perdido treze soldados. E vida de israelense é sagrada. A IDF é "obrigada" a matar as crianças palestinas "por causa" do Hamas, mas "mata por não ter como evitar". Como se desse para esconder que mata vendo muito bem onde o míssil vai parar e quem vai ser atingido na chegada.
Enquanto a IDF ataca Gaza por todos os lados, o presidente da Autoridade Nacional Palestina Mahmoud Abbas encontrou o presidente do Hamas Khaled Meshaal hoje no Qatar para convencê-lo a aceitar a proposta de Tony Blair/USA/Israel mediada pelo ditador egípcio general Sissi.
O Hamas, que foi e é tão diabolizado como terrorista apesar de ser um partido de resistência, tem obrigação com seus concidadãos. Pois se aceitar trégua proposta por Tony Blair sem perspectivas de mudança do status quo do bloqueio e da ocupação, a Faixa de Gaza vai continuar a maior prisão do planeta, as colônias judias na Cisjordânia vão continuar aumentando, o muro vai engolir mais terra palestina, e aí? A Palestina vai ser anexada ao grande Israel sionista e os palestinos vão ser submetidos ao apartheid como cidadãos de terceira classe, com suas cidades enclausuradas em muros cada vez mais altos?
Eu não conseguiria viver assim. E você, conseguiria? Quanto tempo? 47 anos?
Uri Avnery, ex-deputado no Knesset, jornalista e ativista de Direitos Humanos, explica bem o absurdo desta ideia no artigo que publiquei no fim deste blog.
A culpa não é do Hamas que resiste a Israel como a Inglaterra resistiu aos nazistas na Segunda Guerra.
A culpa é da potência estrangeira que quer subjugar os gazauís e a Palestina inteira pela força bruta, com a ajuda da maior potência bélica do mundo (os EUA) e com as armas mais sofisticadas que dinheiro pode fabricar, comprar, e usar em limpeza étnica.

Gaza Truce: Is Egypt an honest broker?

It may seem incredible, but some still believe that the war between hamas and Israel was triggered by the murder of the tree israeli settlers, in recent weeks. It is a myth. And the other is that Palestinian fighters alone are to blame for the ongoing military offensive in Gaza. 
The current war is a logical consequence of the frustration over failed negotiations and anger over the crippling siege of the overcrowded Gaza strip, the continuous building of settlements, the uprooting of Palestinian trees, and confiscation of land and houses.
Israel fights simply because it can. Is stepped up its war against Hamas with a ground invasion and what happens next will depend on the readiness of Hamas, which has declined an Egypt-mediated truce that would have neither lifted the siege on Gaza nor given it political manoeuvrability to negotiate all Palestinian matters with the international community as an equal to Fatah.
Israel's offensive on Gaza happens at a time when international diplomacy is distracted by the escalation of conflicts in other areas (e.g. Ukraine and Iraq). Besides, a great deal has changed since the last war in 2012 when Cairo had a government sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Hamas has since lost that support and, like the Muslim Brotherhood, counts among Arab states more foes than friends.
Indeed, Israel knew it was an opportune time to strike.

"In an unprecedented criticism of the Israeli siege of Gaza, a senior official in the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) humanitarian charity has described his organisation’s work among the 1.8 million besieged Palestinian refugees as akin to being “in an open-air prison to patch up prisoners in between their torture sessions.
In an unprecedented criticism of the Israeli siege of Gaza, a senior official in the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) humanitarian charity has described his organisation’s work among the 1.8 million besieged Palestinian refugees as akin to being “in an open-air prison to patch up prisoners in between their torture sessions”.
Jonathan Whittall, head of humanitarian analysis at MSF, who worked in Libya during the 2011 war, in Bahrain during the uprising of the same year, in Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Sudan and Darfur, has bluntly asked his colleagues: “At what point does MSF’s repeated medical action in an unacceptable situation [like Gaza] become complicity with aggression and oppression?”
Unlike other medical charities, MSF has always encouraged its staff to speak frankly about the dangers and moral problems they face, and the long and passionate report from Mr Whittall – unlike those of other humanitarian groups, which prefer to silence their staff – is in keeping with MSF’s rules. But its accusations against Israel are sure to arouse fierce Israeli condemnation during a disproportionate war – supposedly fought to prevent Hamas rocket attacks on Israel – in which the Israeli military has killed well over 200 civilians, many of them women and children.
“An entire population is trapped in what is essentially an open-air prison,” Mr Whittall writes. “They can’t leave and only the most limited supplies – essential for basic survival – are allowed to enter. The population of the prison have elected representatives and organised social services.
“Some of the prisoners have organised into armed groups and resist their indefinite detention by firing rockets over the prison wall. However, the prison guards are the ones who have the capacity to launch large-scale and highly destructive attacks on the open-air prison.”
In a comparison which is also certain to infuriate Israel, Mr Whittall, who is based in Beirut, says that the limitations of humanitarian groups in Gaza are not unique. “In 2012,” he writes, “MSF closed its projects in the prisons of Misrata, Libya. Our doctors were outraged to be in a position where we were providing treatment to patients who were being tortured by state authorities. At the time, MSF spoke out strongly: ‘Our role is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees, not repeatedly to treat the same patients between torture sessions’.
Since 2010, MSF has run a post-operation clinic in Gaza City, where 80 per cent of the patients suffer from severe burns, and provides specialised hand surgery in the Nasser hospital at Khan Younis, and intensive care training to medical and paramedical personnel at both the Nasser and Shifa hospitals.
"Everyone pays the price for living under siege and for their acts of resistance. Medical workers have been killed and health structures damaged. In such a densely populated environment, the claims of not targeting civilians in air raids are of little comfort. There are always limits to humanitarian action. Humanitarian organisations can treat the wounded. But we can’t open borders to end violence.”
The MSF official also notes that while confronting the “limits of humanitarianism” is a daily reality for MSF field workers, “it is made only more apparent by the duration of the suffering and the international political configuration that allows for the sick political statements and endless violence to continue.” Mr Whittall says that as “the open-air prison of Gaza braces for more air raids and a possible ground operation,” the limits of MSF’s work remain obvious, and he demands that Palestinians should be allowed “to move freely and to seek safety in times of violence, including into Egypt… Civilians and civilian infrastructure – including medical workers, health centres and ambulances – should never be targeted. Humanitarian aid and its workers should be given unhindered access at all times – not as a favour but as a legal responsibility.”
Whittall’s analysis will evoke much sympathy among other humanitarian organisations, and with EU officials who find that their assistance in the Palestinian occupied territories or Gaza is taken for granted – or even abused – by the Israelis. EU humanitarian projects, both in Gaza and the West Bank, have been destroyed by the Israeli army – with afterwards scarcely a breath of criticism from the EU itself, which has no connection with MSF."
Robert Fisk, The Independent, 17 July 2014


A título de lembrança, a Faixa de Gaza, como a Cisjordânia, é território ocupado oficialmente desde 1967. Todos os seus 360 km² (41 km de comprimento e de 6 a 12 de largura; o Distrito Federal, o menor estado do Brasil, tem 5.780 km²) são cercados de muros e cercas sofisticadas, no mar, navios israelenses que patrulham constantemente e no ar, drones armados circulam sem parar com um barulho típico (de propósito?) para manter a população em sobressalto, de se e quando vão atacar.
Portanto, segundo as convenções internacionais, o simples fato de um israelense tocar em um fio de cabelo de um palestino é considerado crime. Pois a lei internacional é clara: o ocupante tem de proteger o ocupado. Se não, é considerado criminoso pelas leis internacionais.
Em vez de pelo menos respeitar as leis que eles mesmos confeccionaram, após a Segunda Guerra Mundial que viu e destruiu o nazismo, para a proteção dos seres humanos, os governos dos países ocidentais estão fazendo vistas grossas às atrocidades que a IDF vem cometendo, quando não, apoiando cegamente.
Aí eu ouço as pessoas dizerem: os judeus têm dinheiro demais e impõem a lei que querem nos EUA, na França, Na Inglaterra, no Brasil, etc. Mas nem todos os judeus são sionistas, fascistas e querem ser cúmplices de atrocidades. Vide o Jon Stewart, em seu Daily Show nos Estados Unidos, ou Norman Finkesltein, Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pape, etcétera.
Os Estados Unidos protegem Israel irracionalmente porque são totalmente dominados pelos sionistas e pelo discurso de que Israel os protege dos extremismos islamitas. Que precisam de Israel, sobretudo com o ISIL, ou Isis. O problema nos EUA é que a ignorância reina. Tanto nas ruas quanto na Casa Branca. Não porque o Presidente não tenha meios de informar-se através dos inúmeros espiões, e sim porque não querem encarar a verdade. Não querem encarar os fatos. Optam pela mentira porque querem adequar a ela sua ideia pre-concebida em vez de aderir à verdade.
Sei que parece difícil acreditar que o governo democrata de Barack Obama seja tão obtuso quanto o de George W. Bush, mas é. Porque a ideologia, no fundo, é a mesma. Os patrocinadores de ambos são os mesmos. Os lobbies aos quais obedecem só mudam de novem, às vezes de cara, mas os interesses são homogêneos.   
Portanto, por que o presidente da França François Hollande proíbe passeatas contra a chacina? Por que Barack Obama insiste, com uma palidez cada vez mais intensa, no direito incondicional de Israel defender-se do povo que ele próprio oprime? E os jornais? E as televisões, que mostram imagens assetizadas, longe da realidade do terreno. As bombas caem, certo. Em quantidade imensa. E o que acontece embaixo delas? Isso, os lares destroçados, as famílias correndo, pais e irmãos carregando crianças mortas ou gravemente feridas nos braços, é deixado para a imaginação do espectador.
A NBC trocou seu repóter experiente por um novato porque ele mostrou a realidade em direto durante alguns segundos, atens do editor cortar. O New York Times puxou a orelha do fotógrafo que prestou depoimento para a Democracy Now do assassinato dos meninos na praia.  Meninos que foram brincar na praia, naquele lugar, porque é justamente na frente do hotel em que os correspondentes internacionais estão hospedados e portanto, os pais achariam que fossem estar seguros.
Mas não. A arrogância do governo israelense é tão grande e sua certeza de proteção dos magnatas da mídia tão ferrenha e sua convicção de impunidade tão arraigada, devido à experiência das carnificinas passadas de cuja culpa foi totalmente isento, que a artilharia naval atirou nos meninos; os que sobreviveram correram, e eles miraram e atiraram de novo no grupinho. Na cara de todos os jornalistas. Incrível.
Nesta Operação Defensive Edge a imprensa também está em questão.
Jornalista não é diplomata. Jornalista não tem de agradar gregos ou troianos. Jornalista não tem de pensar em que patrão e em que empresas sionistas pagam seu salário. Jornalista não tem de esconder a cabeça na areia e nem ficar de papo pro ar enquanto a vida se esvai ao lado. Esta pessoa não é jornalista. É vassalo de uma ideologia criminosa e traidor de seus leitorres e telespectadores. É uma vergonha para a profissão. 
Em Gaza, há poucos assim. Os antigos, não aguentam mais. 
O problema maior são os editores que censuram a informação, a foto, a imagem, a fim de preservar Israel, por sabe-se lá que cargas d'água.
A vontade de todo mundo é de botar a boca no trombone e dizer ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! BASTA! Não aguentamos mais ver tamanha injustiça, tamanhas atrociades, tamanho descaso tamanha proteção de uma iedologia fascista de limpeza étnica que nossa geração pós-guerra tinha ouvido, Nunca mais!

GLENN GREENWALD: There are people inside NBC News, including some very recognizable and high-profile journalists, who were very angry that, first of all, when NBC News with Brian Williams reported on the killing of those four boys on the beach, instead of having their journalist who made this event known to the world and who witnessed it firsthand, Ayman, report on it, they instead had Richard Engel in Tel Aviv do the reporting, and Ayman never appeared at all on the Nightly News broadcast. But that, you can chalk up to sort of standard network news machinations about who’s a bigger star and who’s more senior and the like

Three women in Gaza speaking / Mensagem de três mulheres em Gaza 

The Israel Project for misleading your opinion
Do you wonder why there are many questions left unanswered regardin the Israeli escalation in Gaza?
Why the questions are so meek, the responses so murky, the phrases come in cliches and soundbites you've heard before?
Do you feel watching certain interviews is an assault on you intelligence?
Do you wonder why official Israeli spokespersons sound so calm, smiley and kind when their popular base sounds so angry, so aggressive and so racist?
How they are likely to say something like "Than you it's nice to be with you", even afater being grilled by a probing frustrated anchor?
Why, when asked about the expandiou of illegal settements, Israel spokespersons speak of the need for a peace settlement, and when asked about bombing civilians, they speak of a better future for all children, Israeli and Palestinian?
Wondr no more.
This is all part of a well-thought, well-orchestrated media strategy to mystify, mislead and even misrepresent the reality. And much of it can be found in The Israel Project's 2009 Global Language Dictionary
But this is not unique to Israel. Go.
It is not unique to Israel, the United States do the same.
Five years ago, US-based "The Israeli Project" asked a Zionista Republican pollster, Frank Luntz, to prepare a new updated media guide for "leaders who are on the front lines of fighting the media war for Israel". The project builds on some of the best examples of Israeli leaders' own succes at mystification.
In order to devise a strategy that neutralises Israel's critics and promotes and improves its media standing.
It's a step-by-step guide that underlines "the words that work" and the "words that don"t work" when speaking to westerners. Like any marketing or PR campaign, much of the suggested code words, phrases and sound bites are based on polls and irrational fears and prejudice.
The guide advises the pro-Israel camps to "se rhetorical questions to gain permission from the audience for Israel's actions".
The guide advises the pro-Israel camps to use rhetorical questions to gain permission from the audience for Israel's actions".For ewample: "What should Israel do? Imagine, if thousands of rockets were fired into your community every day and every night? What would your country do? What would 'you' want them to do? Don't they have a duty to protect our citizens?"
And here comes the worst bit of deception:
"Americans recognise that rocket attacks are an impediment to peace; but they do not accept rockets as an excuse to abandon peace. It is utterly expected that Israeli spokespersons will talk about proportionalite and prevention of rocket ataacks. But if you take the unewpected approach of talking about another 'p' word - the most important 'p' word to the public - you gen,erate immense credibility". So here's the fice-step approach to talin about civilian casualties in Gaza:
1. Empathy: "All human life is precious. We understand that the loss of one innocent Palestinian life is every bit as tragic as the loss of an Israeli life."
2. Admission: "We admit that Israel isn't always succesful at preventing civilian casualties."
3.Effort: "We reamin committed to doing everything in our power to preventing civilian casualties."Ewamples: "Let me tell you how our armed forces are trained, tasked, and operate to ensure that Palestinian civilians reamin safe."
5: Turn tables: "It is tragedy that Iran-backed Hamas shoots rockets at our civilians while hiding in their own... This causes tragic deaths on both sides."
The guide concludes this chapter on the worts possible advice: "Israel should not give any more land for peace, because every time it does, it just gets more war."
And this last blow comes because of the chapter in the guide that recommend to speak as follows: "Israel made painful sacrifices and took a risk to give peace a chance. Theuy voluntarily removed ovez 9.000 settlers from Gaza and parts of the West Bank, abandoning homes, schools, businesses, and palces of worship in the hopes or renewing the peace process." "And despite making an overture for peace by withdraing from Gaza, Israel continues to face terrorist attacks, including rocket attacks and drive-by shootings of innocent Israelis. Israel kows that for a lasting peace, they must be free from terrorism and live with defensible borders." 
Needles to say that much of the formulation is misleading. 
First of all, Israel has no right to build colonies/settlements in the occupied territories.  
Second, most of the illegal settlers ahd already moved out of the Gaza Strip because of mounting Palestinian resistance, pushing Israel to finally redeploy its military without any coordination with the Palestinian National Authority. The decision was motivated by the need to disengage demographically from 1.5 million impoverished Palestinians and was bases on cost-benefit analysis, not peace strategy. Which partially explains why Israel has being laying siege to Gaza and reckons it has the right to inervene militarily at will ever since.
To close this chapter bout "the Guide", it suggest that defenders and promoters of Israel's war and occupation need to use the king of languade that "may be hard for some of you to say, but every result of research confirms that an approach like this is the best way for an Israele spokesperson to truly be heard and therefore make a difference."
Does it sound familiar?
That is how they try to deceive us, through the media, the polititians, and on our presidents.


By the way, Noam Chomsky, John Pilger and Ken Loach are among 45,000 signatories who have signed an open letter to the BBC calling on its journalists to reflect the reality of Gaza’s occupation while reporting on Israel’s current assault.
"Dear BBC
Once again Gaza is under massive aerial bombardment from Israeli warplanes and drones, and, once again, the BBC’s reporting of these assaults is entirely devoid of context or background.
We would like to remind the BBC that Gaza is under Israeli occupation and siege.
We would like to remind you that Israel is bombing a refugee population – Palestinians who were made refugees when they were forced from their land in1948 in order to create Israel.
We would like to remind you that Gaza has no army, air force, or navy, while Israel possess one of the strongest militaries in the world.
When you portray Israel’s shelling of a civilian population as a ‘response’ or ‘retaliation’ to rocket strikes from Gaza, we would like to remind you that these events flow from the displacement of the overwhelming majority of the Palestinian people from their homes and communities, with millions now corralled as refugees in the Gaza Strip. That initial injustice was compounded and continues with the ongoing occupation and siege.
When you portray the occupier as the victim, and the occupied as the aggressor, we would like to remind you that resistance to occupation is a right under international law. And we would like you to remember that Israel’s occupation, siege and collective punishment of Gaza is not.
And, finally, we would like to remind BBC journalists, when interviewing Israel’s spokespeople over the coming days, to ask the one question they have all failed to ask: “If Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian land, and allows the people of Palestine to live in freedom from Israeli domination, would that bring peace

Protest: Stop the massacre in Gaza – Free PalestineOpposite the Israeli Embassy in London


"Oddly, however, no one reminds us that today’s carnage is an obscene replay – by both sides – of what has happened before, and indeed before that. The leftist Israeli historian Illan Pappe has recorded how on 28 December 2006, the Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem reported that 660 Palestinians had been killed in that year alone, most in Gaza, including 141 children; and that since 2000, Israeli forces had killed almost 4,000 Palestinians with 20,000 wounded. But scarcely has there been a single mention of all of this in a single report on the latest slaughter in the Gaza war.
Why? Why do we as readers – let alone us journalists – allow ourselves to participate in what I can only call a collective memory-wipe? Because we are lazy? Because we don’t care? Or because we fear that explanations for the recurring bloodletting in Israel might lead readers to search for deeper reasons and that Israel’s “friends” abroad might accuse us poor harmless journos of suggesting that Israel – let alone the corrupt Hamas – is engaged in a far more pitiless, infinitely more wicked and obscene war than our bland agency-style reportage suggests?"

"Nowhere in the world except Israel is there a foreign minister who every single day undermines the status of his or her country in the family of nations.
We have a government. There is a prime minister, a defense minister, a public minister and a justica minister. There is public debate over how they do their jobs, the positions they take, their personalities. But the State of Israel, which is engaged in a war "at home", does not, simply does not, have a foreign minister."
"Much of the fuel for Hamas’ confidence comes from the Palestinian public in both the West Bank and Gaza, who see it standing up bravely for the national cause while Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas plays the diplomatic supplicant, writes Amira Hass. “In recent weeks it has become clear that Hamas has been able to present a challenge to Israel greater than any Israel has ever faced from a Palestinian organization – and in the opinion of the Palestinian public, for justifiable reasons. This has also impressed those who despise Hamas’ political-religious path as well as those who are not blinded by worship of the armed struggle.”

A IDF bombardeia os palestinos na Faixa de Gaza e os ataca em Jerusalém,
nas imediações da Mesquita al-Aqsa  (19/07/2014)

"What would history look like if it were written in the style of the "Solid Cliff (a.k.a. Protective Edge) operation?
For example:
Winston Churchill was a scoundrel.[*]
For five years he kept the population of London under the unceasing fire of the German Luftwaffe. He used the inhabitants of London as a human shield in his crazy war. While the civilian population was exposed to the bombs and rockets, without the protection of an "iron dome", he was hiding in his bunker under 10 Downing Street.
He exploited all the inhabitants of London as hostages. When the German leaders made a generous peace proposal, he rejected it for crazy ideological reasons. Thus he condemned his people to unimaginable suffering.
From time to time he emerged from his underground hideout to have his picture taken in front of the ruins, and then he returned to the safety of his rat hole. But to the people of London he said: "Future generations will say that this was your finest hour!"
The German Luftwaffe had no alternative but to go on bombing the city. Its commanders announced that they were hitting only military targets, such as the homes of British soldiers, where military consultations were taking place.
The German Luftwaffe called on the inhabitants of London to leave the city, and many children were indeed evacuated. But most Londoners heeded the call of Churchill to remain, thus condemning themselves to the fate of "collateral damage".
The hopes of the German high command that the destruction of their homes and the killing of their families would induce the people of London to rise up, kick out Churchill and his war-mongering gang, came to naught.
The primitive Londoners, whose hatred of the Germans overcame their logic, perversely followed the coward Churchill's instructions. Their admiration for him grew from day to day, and by the end of the war he had become almost a god.
A statue of him stands even today in front of the Parliament in Westminster.
Four years later the wheel had turned. The British and American air forces bombed the German cities and destroyed them completely. A stone did not remain on a stone, glorious palaces were flattened, cultural treasures were obliterated. "Uninvolved civilians" were blown to smithereens, burned to death or just disappeared. Dresden, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, was totally destroyed within a few hours in a "fire storm".
The official aim was to destroy the German war industry, but this was not achieved. The real aim was to terrorize the civilian population, in order to induce them to remove their leaders and capitulate.
That did not happen. Indeed, the only serious revolt against Hitler was carried out by senior army officers (and failed). The civilian population did not rise up. On the contrary. In one of his diatribes against the "terror pilots" Goebbels declared: "They can break our homes, but they cannot break our spirit!"
Germany did not capitulate until the very last moment. Millions of tons of bombs did not suffice. They only strengthened the morale of the population and its loyalty to the Führer.
And so to Gaza.
Everyone is asking: who is winning this round?...
... when a tiny fighting force in a tiny territory achieves a standoff with one of the mightiest armies in the world, it can be considered a victory.
The lack of an Israeli political aim is the outcome of muddled thinking. The Israeli leadership, both political and military, does not really know how to deal with Hamas.
It may already have been forgotten that Hamas is largely an Israeli creation. During the first years of the occupation, when any political activity in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip was brutally suppressed, the only place where Palestinians could meet and organize was the mosque.
At the time, Fatah was considered Israel's arch-enemy. The Israeli leadership was demonizing Yasser Arafat, the arch-arch-terrorist. The Islamists, who hated Arafat, were considered the lesser evil, even secret allies.
I once asked the Shin-Bet chief at the time whether his organization had created Hamas. His answer: "We did not create them. We tolerated them."
This changed only one year after the start of the first intifada, when the Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmad Yassin was arrested. Since then, of course, reality has been completed reversed: Fatah is now an ally of Israel, from the security point of view, and Hamas the arch-arch-terrorist.
But is it?
Some Israeli officers say that if Hamas did not exist, it would have to be invented. Hamas controls the Gaza strip. It can be held responsible for what happens there. It provides law and order. It is a reliable partner for a cease-fire.
The last Palestinian elections, held under international monitoring, ended in a Hamas victory both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. When Hamas was denied power, it took it in the Gaza strip by force. By all reliable accounts, it enjoys the loyalty of the large majority in the territory.
All Israeli experts agree that if the Hamas regime in Gaza were to fall, far more extreme Islamic splinter groups would take over and plunge the Strip, with its 1.8 million inhabitants, into complete chaos. The military experts don't like that.
So the war aim, if one can dignify it as such, is not to destroy Hamas, but to leave it in power, though in a much weakened state.
But how, for God's sake, does one do that?
One way, demanded now by the ultra-right-wingers in the government, is to occupy all of the Gaza Strip.
To which the military leaders again answer with a question: And then what?
A new permanent occupation of the Strip is a military nightmare. It would mean that Israel assumes the responsibility for pacifying and feeding 1.8 million people (most of whom, by the way, are 1948 refugees from Israel and their descendants). A permanent guerrilla war would ensue. No one in Israel really wants that.
Occupy and then leave? Easily said. The occupation itself would be a bloody operation. If the "Molten Lead" doctrine is adopted, it would mean more than a thousand, perhaps several thousands of Palestinian dead. This (unwritten) doctrine says that if a hundred Palestinians must be killed in order to save the life of one Israeli soldier, so be it. But if Israeli casualties amount to even a few dozens of dead, the mood in the country will change completely. The army does not want to risk that.
For a moment on Tuesday it seemed as if a cease-fire had been achieved, much to the relief of Binyamin Netanyahu and his generals.
But it was an optical illusion. The mediator was the new Egyptian dictator, a person loathed by Islamists everywhere. He is a man who has killed and imprisoned many hundreds of Muslim Brothers. He is an open military ally of Israel. He is a client for American largesse. Moreover, since Hamas arose as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, General Abd-al-Fatah Al-Sisi hates them with all his heart, and does not hide it.
So, instead of negotiating with Hamas, he did something exceedingly stupid: dictate a cease-fire on Israeli terms without consulting Hamas at all. Hamas leaders learned about the proposed cease-fire from the media and rejected it out of hand.
My own opinion is that it would be better if the Israeli army and Hamas negotiated directly. Throughout military history, cease-fires have been arranged by military commanders. One side sends an officer with a white flag to the commander of the other side, and a cease-fire is arranged – or not. (An American general famously answered such a German offer with "Nuts!").
In the 1948 war, on my sector of the front, a short cease-fire was arranged by Major Yerucham Cohen and a young Egyptian officer called Gamal Abd-al-Nasser.
Since this seems to be impossible with the present parties, a really honest broker should be found.
In the meantime, Netanyahu was pushed by his colleagues/rivals to send the troops into the Strip, to try at least to locate and destroy the tunnels dug by Hamas under the border fence to stage surprise attacks on border settlements.
What will be the end of it? There will be no end, just round after round, unless a political solution is adopted.
This would mean: stop the rockets and the bombs, end the Israeli blockade, allow the people of Gaza to live a normal life, further Palestinian unity under a real unity government, conduct serious peace negotiations, MAKE PEACE".

The Children of Gaza have names
As crianças de Gaza têm nome

"WHAT’S COMING NEXT, by Norman Finkelstein.
(1) Netanyahu exploited the ceasefire ultimatum (a trap laid by Blair, but of course with Obama’s connivance), and the downing of the Malaysian airliner (which displaced Gaza from the headlines), to launch the ground invasion.  However, it is only a limited invasion because of the broad constraints still imposed on Israel by international public opinion.  It gives Netanyahu enough time and leeway to clobber Hamas and “mow the grass” in Gaza. 
(2) But Netanyahu  can’t declare victory until the Hamas projectile attacks cease, and without a full-scale invasion he can’t stop them.  Here’s where Abbas comes in.  Abbas will negotiate an agreement with Egypt whereby the PA will staff Rafah crossing, enabling Abbas to declare that he won an end to the blockade.  The quid pro quo, however, is that he will agree to prevent any arms smuggling into Gaza and to disarm Hamas.    Because
(a) Hamas’s key demand was to end the blockade,
(b) Hamas is isolated politically and neutered militarily, and
(c) Abbas is technically the head of the Unity government, Hamas will be forced to agree to these terms.  
If things go according to plan, it will mark the end of Hamas as a resistance movement, to the joy of the Arab states, the US, EU, Israel and, of course, the PA."
We hope that US/Israeli/French/Blair's plan won't work at all.
