I believe this is what JC is talking about earlier.
http://english.pnn.ps/index.php/human-rights/8976-no-homes-no-warmth-in-gaza-the-severe-cold-kills-yet-another-infant
A 30 days old infant on Saturday died of the severe cold in Khan Younis, Gaza.
Local sources reported that the baby named Adel Al-Laham who lived with his family in a 'zenco house' died after the dramatic drop of tempreture.
This is the second infant death reported in the last 24 hours. On Friday a a two-months old girl died following the fall of tempreture after a snow storm hit the area last Tuesday.

There's a saying I can't quite remember, but it's something like for every two Israelis you get three opinions. Regardless of what coalition government gets elected, there's a certainty of dissent. The certainty of instability of the government means the status quo will probably remain, due to the friction related to bringing about any significant change. At this point, I have no doubt that it will be on the Palestinian people and the diaspora's population (specifically Jews) if there's to be any significant change.gimmesometruth27 said:bibi is behind in the polls. he is launching an all out media blitz to scare people into supporting him.

Unfortunately, Herzog can't do this, as I don't think he aims to unify Jewish and Zionist beliefs the way Netanyahu does: and in that omission of unification, he loses the obligation of answering to the global Jewish population at large. Netanyahu won't do it either, because in spite of his tendency to try to align Jewish and Zionist values as one and the same, he's a self-serving politician who prefers Jewish superiority over a region to even the possibility of a non-denominational (across all religions) governance of the region, hence he will answer to Israeli Jews over diaspora Jews. The Palestinian voice, of course, remains unheard.
For the record, I find it a tremendous failure on my own part and the part of other diaspora Jews for not forcing Netanyahu's hand. If he wants to speak for us, he should have to answer to us.Post edited by benjs on'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

Guess the 6 miles of fishing waters "given" to the Palestinians in 93 doesn't mean shit anymore. More daily cease fire breaches in Israel, or should I say Palestine?

Palestinian Fishing Boats Attacked By Israeli Navy Ships
Saturday March 14, 2015 09:53 by
IMEMC & Agencies
Israeli navy ships opened fire, on Saturday at dawn, on a number of Palestinian fishing boats in Palestinian waters, in the Sudaniyya Sea area, northwest of Gaza City.
The fishers said they were less than four miles away from the Gaza shore, before the navy fired dozens of rounds of live ammunition, causing significant property damage but no injuries.
The navy conducts daily attacks against the fishers in Gaza, and their boats, in an attempt to prevent them from fishing, an issue that impacts the lives of dozens of thousands of Palestinians who depend on fishing as their only sources of livelihood to their families.
The attacks frequently lead to kidnapping some of the fishers, towing their boats, in addition to dozens of casualties, including fatalities.
Last Saturday, March 7, a Palestinian fisher was killed by Israeli Navy fire in Gaza territorial waters, and two others were kidnapped. http://www.imemc.org/article/70831
Two days before the attack, two fishers were shot and injured.
The current six-nautical-mile fishing zone falls drastically short of the twenty nautical miles allocated to Palestinian fishermen in the 1993 Oslo Accords, and come in direct violation of every ceasefire agreement.

Edit-I hope I don't get labeled as an anti-Semite for posting. Just saying.0 -
Nart, that last point about being labeled as an anti-Semite just isn't necessary. No one's going to respond to facts by calling you an anti-Semite - in fact, I don't think it's been said here in ages (and I certainly don't let it go when I do see it, as I loathe the term as much as Islamophobia). Best just to let the facts do the talking - they speak volumes, after all.
As an aside - I wonder which politician will be mandating the status quo next week in Israel - Netanyahu or Herzog?Post edited by benjs on'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

bibi is in survival mode right now.
he went waaay right today. he said that if he wins there will never be a palestinian state under his leadership. this is in direct opposition to his stated position on the conflict.
i think he overplayed his hand, and he will feel it at the polls tomorrow.
there are only so many times a man can cry wolf in 19 years before people stop believing him.
he is praying that he wins, because if he loses he is going before the world court."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Now it's to the Polls for Israel.

BIBI just said in an appeal to right wing israelis that "flocks of arabs are turning up at the polls by the bus load. if you don't want a left wing government vote for me and the Likud party."
no shit. outright racism right there. he just exposed his true self.
when do polls close?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
polls close at 3:00 central time. about 36 minutes from now. i wonder how this last minute hard right turn is going to work out for bibi."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
Appears to be working out for him. In the end it is about who is able to form a coalition. At this very early stage a Likud led coalition is most likely.gimmesometruth27 said:polls close at 3:00 central time. about 36 minutes from now. i wonder how this last minute hard right turn is going to work out for bibi.

i just read that it was too close to call right now. exit polls show either 27-27 or 28-26 Likud majority.BS44325 said:

never trust exit polls though. here in the states they are hardly ever certain."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

how can thier turnout be so low, considering election day is pretty much a national holiday there??mickeyrat said:65% turnout. A little less underwhelming than ours given the circumstances .

could it be that the voting public are just as apathetic as the american electorate??"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
