The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are
killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims
with great satisfaction. The tears of Israeli leaders are crocodile
tears, and their claims that they are sorry for the tragic
developments in Gaza are mere hypocrisy. The bloody confrontations
were predictable, and the Israeli-US responsibility and active
involvement are crystal clear.
Many Israeli journalists are analyzing Israel's responsibility as
indirect: "1.4 million people closed in a small territory like Gaza,
without any possibility to have normal economic life, but also
without the possibility of escape, are doomed to kill each other...
like mice closed in a box." That zoological explanation is not only
typically racist, but also based on a huge understatement. For, the
Israeli and US role in the present confrontations was much more than
simply "creating the conditions" for an inner-Palestinian conflict.
For months, the US State Department has been pushing the Fatah
leadership to launch a military offensive against Hamas, and two
weeks ago, Israel was giving a green light to the entry of a huge
quantity of arms for Fatah militias in Gaza. In that sense, the
Israeli part in the present situation is not only conjectural, but an
active role.
Who is the Aggressor?
"Hamas is taking over," "A Hamas coup d'etat"-these are some of the
headlines from the Israeli newspapers in the last days, repeating the
big lies of the Tel Aviv and Washington administrations. It appears
that there is a need to make clear what should be obvious: Hamas
smashed Fatah in the last Palestinian elections, after an electoral
process that the whole international community, including Washington,
hailed as "the most democratic ever in the Middle East."
Unquestionable democratic process and massive popular support, few
regimes can claim such legitimacy.
Despite their huge victory, Hamas accepted to share the power with
Fatah in a national unity government formed under the hospices of
Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and hailed by the entire international
community, with the exception of Washington and Israel. The political
platform of the new government gave de facto recognition the State of
Israel and endorsed the strategy of peaceful negotiations, based on
the mechanism of Oslo.
The priority of the new government was to deal with the burning
domestic issues-economic improvement, restoration of law and order in
Gaza, fighting the endemic corruption of the old Fatah-led
administration-while allowing President Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO to
continue the negotiation process, if and when Israel would accept to renew it.
Hamas' moderate government platform, however, was confronted by two
powerful enemies: a segment of the Fatah cadres who are not ready to
renounce their monopoly in the political power, and the material
privileges connected to that monopoly, and the US-Israeli
neoconservative governments, which are conducting a global crusade
against political Islam. Muhammad Dahlan, former Preventive Security
chief and present Security Adviser of Mahmoud Abbas represent both:
they are the executioners of Washington's plans in the Palestinian
leadership, as well as the representatives of those corrupt Fatah
leaders who are ready to do everything in order not to lose their
economic resources.
Since the electoral victory of Hamas, Dahlan's militia has been
provoking the government, attacking Hamas militias and refusing to
let the government control the Palestinian police forces. Despite
Dahlan's aggression, Hamas has been doing its best to reach an
agreement with Dahlan, asking its own activists to refrain from
counter-violence. However, when it became clear that Dahlan was not
looking for a compromise, but indeed attempting to liquidate Hamas,
the Islamic organization had no alternative but to defend itself and
fight back.
The Algerian Model
The US-Israeli plan is part of a global strategy aimed at imposing
governments which are loyal to their interests, against the will of
the local population. Algeria provides an example of such a strategy,
but also of its failure and its colossal human cost: the
unquestionable electoral victory of the FIS (Islamic Salvation Front)
over the corrupted and discredited FLN, in 1991, was followed by a
coup d'etat, supported by France and the US, which paved the way for
a civil war that lasted for more than a decade and provoked more than
one hundred thousand civilian victims.
Hamas has clearly learned from the Algerian tragedy, and decided not
to let Dahlan's plans succeed in his attempt to take power by force.
Enjoying the support of the majority of the local population, Hamas
militants smashed Fatah in less than two days, despite the arms
supplied, indirectly, by Israel: a corrupt militia without any
popular support could not face a relatively disciplined and highly
motivated organization.
Even after its smashing victory on Fatah, Hamas leadership has
reiterated its intention to keep a national unity government and not
to exploit the failed coup d'etat of Fatah as a pretext to eradicate
the organization or to exclude it from the government. Fatah
leadership, however, decided to cut any kind of relation with Hamas,
and to establish a government without Hamas... in the West Bank. Another dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: total separation
between the West Bank and Gaza, the later being considered a hopeless
"Hamastan," a terrorist entity in which there are no civilians, but
only terrorists which can be put under a total state of siege, and
doomed to starvation.
Washington, which fully endorses this policy, promised its full
support to Mahmoud Abbas and his new Bantustan in the West Bank, and
Ehud Olmert decided to release some of the Palestinian money that is
in the Israeli government hands.
Not a Civil War
One of the Israeli and US administrations' objectives failed however:
there is no chaos in Gaza. On the contrary. As one Palestinian
security officer told Haaretz (17 June): "For a very long time the
city has not been quiet. I prefer the present situation to the
previous one. I can, finally, go out from my house..." The
eradication of Fatah gangs from Gaza may put an end to a long period
of anarchy, and allow for a return to a certain level of normal life.
The latest events confirmed that Hamas does have the power to impose it.
Israeli talks about a "Palestinian civil war" are no more than
wishful thinking. The armed confrontation was between armed militia
only, and if, unfortunately, there were civilian casualties, there
were what the US army calls "collateral damage." The population is
indeed politically divided-in the West Bank as well as in Gaza-but
not fighting each other, in the meantime at least.
With Gaza being defined as a hostile entity and its whole population
as allied to Hamas, there is no doubt that it will be, in the near
future, the target of a brutal Israeli aggression: eventual military
incursions, bombardments and starvation.
This is why our top priority, in Israel as well as throughout the
world, is to organize solidarity with Gaza and its population.

Well if this is what the international community wants as you said, why doesn't the international community grow some balls and take on Israel and the US?
Are you aware of something called the power of automatic veto? The U.S has this and uses it on a regular basis. This is why the U.N is so ineffectual.

No, that is what israel is teaching Palestinian children.

Palestinians were firing rifles at Jewish settlers since basically the moment the first one arrived.
Michael Neumann:
'Any population may defend itself against the threat of an externally imposed sovereignty.
Not that the Palestinians first resort was violence. The peasant attacks at the end of the 19th century were few and minor. For the most part, the Palestinians reacted with pleas and verbal protests until 1920, some three years after the Balfour Declaration. Their pleadings were consistently ignored or rebuffed by the Zionists, the British government, and the Versailles conference.'
Israeli groups call for lifting the Gaza Blockade
Monday January 21, 2008
http://www.imemc.org/article/52390
'A number of Israeli groups called for Saturday, January 26, to be a countrywide relief convoy and demonstration in Israel in solidarity on the Gaza border with a parallel Palestinian demonstration in the Gaza Strip.
A number of Israelis groups call for lifting the blockade on the Gaza Strip, imposed by Israel creating a humanitarian crisis in the costal region.
Israel has recently decided to prevent any feul to enter the Gaza Strip and to cut its supply of electricity which puts the Strip on the verge of a real humantarian disaster.
According to a press release issued by the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolition, (ICAHD), a humanitarian convoy of supplies headed by peace and human rights organisations will go from Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva to the Gaza Strip border, decked with signs "Lift the Blockade."
Among the speakers who will join the convoy, former Knesset members Shulamit Aloni, Uri Avnery and Jeff Halper the director of (ICAHD), whose website provide detailed information about the convoy.
The Israeli Peace Bloc Gush Shalom has sent out a similar call and will be part of the convoy.
The convoy will speak to the Palestinians who will demonstrate in Gaza City at the "Unknown Soldier square" through the phone, where psychiatrist and human rights activist, Dr. Eyad Sarraj will give a speech as well.
According to the press releases, the convoy will contain sacks of flour, food supplies and other essential products, especially water filters.
Water supplies in Gaza are polluted, with nitrates at a level ten times the maximum recommended by the World Health Organisation. Due to the Israeli blockade, Gaza has a critical shortage of water filters, creating an intolerable violation of minimum humanitarian standards.
In additoin, the lack of power has resulted in a sewage flood as the pumping engines are unable to pump sewage to the neaeby treatment plant.
If the sewage water is not pumped from the streets and the fields soon, it would sink the people's houses.'
Comments
Made in Israel
by Michael Warschawski
June 24, 2007
http://mail.psychedelic-library.org/pipermail/theharderstuff/20070626/003537.html
The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are
killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims
with great satisfaction. The tears of Israeli leaders are crocodile
tears, and their claims that they are sorry for the tragic
developments in Gaza are mere hypocrisy. The bloody confrontations
were predictable, and the Israeli-US responsibility and active
involvement are crystal clear.
Many Israeli journalists are analyzing Israel's responsibility as
indirect: "1.4 million people closed in a small territory like Gaza,
without any possibility to have normal economic life, but also
without the possibility of escape, are doomed to kill each other...
like mice closed in a box." That zoological explanation is not only
typically racist, but also based on a huge understatement. For, the
Israeli and US role in the present confrontations was much more than
simply "creating the conditions" for an inner-Palestinian conflict.
For months, the US State Department has been pushing the Fatah
leadership to launch a military offensive against Hamas, and two
weeks ago, Israel was giving a green light to the entry of a huge
quantity of arms for Fatah militias in Gaza. In that sense, the
Israeli part in the present situation is not only conjectural, but an
active role.
Who is the Aggressor?
"Hamas is taking over," "A Hamas coup d'etat"-these are some of the
headlines from the Israeli newspapers in the last days, repeating the
big lies of the Tel Aviv and Washington administrations. It appears
that there is a need to make clear what should be obvious: Hamas
smashed Fatah in the last Palestinian elections, after an electoral
process that the whole international community, including Washington,
hailed as "the most democratic ever in the Middle East."
Unquestionable democratic process and massive popular support, few
regimes can claim such legitimacy.
Despite their huge victory, Hamas accepted to share the power with
Fatah in a national unity government formed under the hospices of
Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and hailed by the entire international
community, with the exception of Washington and Israel. The political
platform of the new government gave de facto recognition the State of
Israel and endorsed the strategy of peaceful negotiations, based on
the mechanism of Oslo.
The priority of the new government was to deal with the burning
domestic issues-economic improvement, restoration of law and order in
Gaza, fighting the endemic corruption of the old Fatah-led
administration-while allowing President Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO to
continue the negotiation process, if and when Israel would accept to renew it.
Hamas' moderate government platform, however, was confronted by two
powerful enemies: a segment of the Fatah cadres who are not ready to
renounce their monopoly in the political power, and the material
privileges connected to that monopoly, and the US-Israeli
neoconservative governments, which are conducting a global crusade
against political Islam. Muhammad Dahlan, former Preventive Security
chief and present Security Adviser of Mahmoud Abbas represent both:
they are the executioners of Washington's plans in the Palestinian
leadership, as well as the representatives of those corrupt Fatah
leaders who are ready to do everything in order not to lose their
economic resources.
Since the electoral victory of Hamas, Dahlan's militia has been
provoking the government, attacking Hamas militias and refusing to
let the government control the Palestinian police forces. Despite
Dahlan's aggression, Hamas has been doing its best to reach an
agreement with Dahlan, asking its own activists to refrain from
counter-violence. However, when it became clear that Dahlan was not
looking for a compromise, but indeed attempting to liquidate Hamas,
the Islamic organization had no alternative but to defend itself and
fight back.
The Algerian Model
The US-Israeli plan is part of a global strategy aimed at imposing
governments which are loyal to their interests, against the will of
the local population. Algeria provides an example of such a strategy,
but also of its failure and its colossal human cost: the
unquestionable electoral victory of the FIS (Islamic Salvation Front)
over the corrupted and discredited FLN, in 1991, was followed by a
coup d'etat, supported by France and the US, which paved the way for
a civil war that lasted for more than a decade and provoked more than
one hundred thousand civilian victims.
Hamas has clearly learned from the Algerian tragedy, and decided not
to let Dahlan's plans succeed in his attempt to take power by force.
Enjoying the support of the majority of the local population, Hamas
militants smashed Fatah in less than two days, despite the arms
supplied, indirectly, by Israel: a corrupt militia without any
popular support could not face a relatively disciplined and highly
motivated organization.
Even after its smashing victory on Fatah, Hamas leadership has
reiterated its intention to keep a national unity government and not
to exploit the failed coup d'etat of Fatah as a pretext to eradicate
the organization or to exclude it from the government. Fatah
leadership, however, decided to cut any kind of relation with Hamas,
and to establish a government without Hamas... in the West Bank.
Another dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: total separation
between the West Bank and Gaza, the later being considered a hopeless
"Hamastan," a terrorist entity in which there are no civilians, but
only terrorists which can be put under a total state of siege, and
doomed to starvation.
Washington, which fully endorses this policy, promised its full
support to Mahmoud Abbas and his new Bantustan in the West Bank, and
Ehud Olmert decided to release some of the Palestinian money that is
in the Israeli government hands.
Not a Civil War
One of the Israeli and US administrations' objectives failed however:
there is no chaos in Gaza. On the contrary. As one Palestinian
security officer told Haaretz (17 June): "For a very long time the
city has not been quiet. I prefer the present situation to the
previous one. I can, finally, go out from my house..." The
eradication of Fatah gangs from Gaza may put an end to a long period
of anarchy, and allow for a return to a certain level of normal life.
The latest events confirmed that Hamas does have the power to impose it.
Israeli talks about a "Palestinian civil war" are no more than
wishful thinking. The armed confrontation was between armed militia
only, and if, unfortunately, there were civilian casualties, there
were what the US army calls "collateral damage." The population is
indeed politically divided-in the West Bank as well as in Gaza-but
not fighting each other, in the meantime at least.
With Gaza being defined as a hostile entity and its whole population
as allied to Hamas, there is no doubt that it will be, in the near
future, the target of a brutal Israeli aggression: eventual military
incursions, bombardments and starvation.
This is why our top priority, in Israel as well as throughout the
world, is to organize solidarity with Gaza and its population.
