Israel Keeps Hand In Cookie Jar

The Nasty Little Spoilt Brat, just can't seem to withdraw it's stealing hands from the cookie jar that is Palestine. Given that Obama's "grand plan" for the Middle east (and the world) has now swung directly into the laps of the Evil Doers. But alas, Obama will now learn a lesson, never do deals with Israel, they never keep their word.

"Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided"

That was what Obama said in his AIPAC speech during the primaries. You know, the speech where he went grovelling to the Zionists for votes? Yeah, that one.

Well, he wasn't kidding, and you'd think the Zionists would now do their part and keep their promise of a "big reward" to Obama; for giving them something that the rest of the world (and the UN) sees as stolen property, literally! The reward was obviously meant to be their "gracious and selfless" act of offering a "limited freeze" on illegal settlements on stolen land, the ones they don’t really want, the ones that only have tents and shacks. What this really means is that Israel, as usual, expects to be rewarded for giving back something it stole and never really owned. Now there's some logic for you, Israeli style, therefore void of logic. Of course, Israel never intended to freeze anything with regards to the nice big illegal communities of criminals they built on stolen land they want to illegally hang on to in order to expand their ethnic cleansing of Arabs.

The recent “cave in” by Mitchell in London when he met with the head Evil Doer, was not really a "cave in" at all. This is merely all part of the original plan, well, from the US side that is.

Palestinian outrage at Israel plan for settler homes

JERUSALEM — Israel will approve construction of hundreds of new homes in West Bank settlements before weighing a freeze sought by Washington in a move announced on Friday that fuelled Palestinian outrage.

"In the next days the prime minister will approve construction starts and then he might consider a freeze for a limited time under certain conditions," an Israeli government official told AFP.

He confirmed a report in the Jerusalem Post that said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would consider a moratorium on settlement construction "for a few months" after the green light is given to build hundreds of new homes in the occupied West Bank.

The English-language newspaper said work on 2,500 housing units which is already under way also would continue as part of the plan widely seen as an attempt to appease far right-wing members of Netanyahu's hawkish Likud party.

"The only thing suspended by this announcement will be the peace process," Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP.link

So when the Rockets begin to rain down on thsoe other illegal land grabs which Israel now believes are theirs, who will be to blame? The folks who have had their land stolen for years, the ones who just managed to survive a genocide, the ones who hardly have enough land left for a state, the ones who have millions of refugees all over the world because of Israel, the ones who were democratically elected, but the US and Israel refused to talk to them whilst purporting to be "Democratic"?

Gaza Hit By Israeli Fire

Israel sends message to Gaza: "No Fishing Today, No Wages Today, No Food Today." Israel has stolen another days wages and another days catch of fish, as it's Zionist Warships fired on Gazan shores Friday morning in an unprovoked and illegal display of weaponry, war and siege.

Israeli warships opened fire on Gazan shores Friday morning, causing no damage or injuries, but scarring fishermen away from the coast.

Fire from the naval ships permanently patrolling the Gaza coast since Israel’s war on the area in December and January, was heard for kilometers around the shore near Gaza City, locals reported. Fire from the ships was also heard Thursday night, when shores were empty.

On Friday fishermen quickly evacuated the area, and will likely lose a day’s fishing.

Head of Ambulance and Emergency services in the Strip Dr Muawiyah Hassanein confirmed that no injuries were reported. source

England Questions Israel On Kidnapped Britains

Days after Ireland verbally battered the rogue state, England finally gets the picture that piracy is a crime. About fecking time! Hey Obama your turn now..........

A spokesperson for the United Kingom's foreign secretary has raised the issue of an aid ship seized by Israel's navy with the country's government, according to British news reports.

"We can confirm that six British nationals were detained by the Israeli authorities. We have visited them and we are providing consular assistance to them," a spokesperson for UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Saturday, according to Sky News.

"We would be concerned if the stories of the Israeli navy boarding the Spirit of Humanity in international waters were true," she added, but said that the legal status of Gaza's coast is complex.

Nevertheless, the said the country's Foreign Ministry was looking into claims that the takeover by Israel's navy of the ship and her 21-member crew on Tuesday violated international law, according to Sky.

Meanwhile, several of the six British nationals being held by Israel told the news agency that they were being held in "atrocious conditions" at the prison, where they are awaiting deportation apparently for entering Israeli waters, which they have categorically denied.

Ishmahil Blagrove, 40, said, "I'm in a cell with 14 of us. The cell is about seven by four. There were just two fans that only covered half of the cell when we got here." "We all screamed and shouted so they gave us a third. It's really hot in here. Everyone is complaining."

The British nationals, who said they had no idea when they would ultimately be released, reportedly spoke to Sky News via mobile phones provided by UK consular officers who visited their cells, which are inside Israel's Ramla Givon high security prison in Tel Aviv. source

Israel Commits Act of War on Greek Vessel

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- The Israeli navy intercepted a ship carrying foreign peace activists trying to break a blockade of Gaza on Tuesday and forced it to sail to an Israeli port, the military said.

A statement said the Greek-registered freighter Arion ignored a radio message from the Israeli military saying it would not be allowed to enter Gaza waters and ordering it to turn back.

The statement said naval personnel boarded the small vessel without any shots being fired.

The 20 passengers include former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire and other activists from Britain, Ireland, Bahrain and Jamaica source

Israel To Stop West Bank Raids

Not so fast, check out the last line of the article. This leaves open the gaping hole that any time Israel wants to make up an excuse, in order to send in the terror squads to "collect" and intern any Palestinians they don't like. Additionally, invading another country is an act of war, but hey, who's counting.

Israel agrees to limit incursions in WBank cities

JERUSALEM, June 25 (Reuters) - Israel has agreed to largely keep its forces out of four Palestinian cities to try to boost a Palestinian security campaign supported by Washington, Israeli and Western security sources said on Thursday.

Palestinian leaders have long demanded that Israel pull its forces back from population centres in the occupied West Bank to positions they held before the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising in 2000.

Israeli and Western sources said Israel agreed to refrain from entering Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho and Qalqilia, except in cases where the army believes militants are poised to attack Israelis. source

SHOCKING~Alaskans Trapped!!!

In a shocking development, the hardline Canadian government voted recently to restrict Americans who want to move from the US territory of Alaska to mainland USA. Although Alaska is part of the USA, Canada owns the territory between the lower 48 states and Alaska.



According to the new legislation, no American living in Alaska is allowed to move to the lower 48 states, except under “exceptional” circumstances. Only those Alaskans who have close family living in the lower 48 will even be considered to relocation.

Sound ridiculous? Of course it does, to think that an American cannot live anywhere inside America because some other country says so is ludicrous.

So NOW how ridiculous is it?


If it would be an unfair outrageous abuse to Americans, an act of war and aggression, then that is what it is to Palestinians. What would be deemed as unacceptable to Americans must also be unacceptable to Palestinians. To think otherwise exposes your hypocrisy and racism. Report below:

Israel has imposed new restrictions barring Palestinians living in Gaza from moving to the West Bank, two Israeli human rights groups said on Tuesday.

According to the new regulation, which was presented by the Israeli state to the High Court of Justice in response to several petitions, no Palestinian living in Gaza is allowed to apply for residency in the West Bank except under exceptional circumstances, according to the Jerusalem Post newspaper.

Only Gazans who have close family registered as living in the West Bank will even be considered for a permit to move there, the paper said.

"Israel is systematically taking action to further isolate the Gaza Strip, while increasing the geographic and political separation between Gaza and the West Bank," said rights groups Gisha and Hamoked.

"The new procedure contradicts a long list of Israeli undertakings to conduct negotiations for the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state, including an explicit commitment in the Oslo Accords to preserve the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as 'a single territorial unit,'" the groups said.

According to the regulation, there are three criteria for allowing movement from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank, but only if the applicant does not have a "security impediment."

In order to be considered, a Palestinian living in Gaza must fulfill one of the following criteria, as quoted by the Jerusalem Post:

• Someone who suffers from a chronic medical condition and who has no other family member (not necessarily of the first degree) in Gaza to provide care.

• A minor under the age of 16 living with one parent in Gaza who dies and another living in the West Bank, on condition that there is no relative in Gaza to look after the minor. Even if she does have such relatives, Israel may allow her or her to move, depending on the nature of her relationship with the living parent.

• A person over the age of 65 who is in a "needy situation" and has a “first-degree relative” in the West Bank who can help him, conditional, in part, on not having relatives in the West Bank.

According to the regulation, anyone who meets one of these criteria and is allowed to move, will receive a temporary permit, renewable each year, for seven years. After seven years, if he or she has proven he is not deemed a “security threat,” he or she may be entered in the West Bank population registry. link
