This is how Israel warns civilians before bombarding.

The hypocrisy of the gaza human rights campaign

For those who care for some History on the region:

Hate it or Love it, agree with it or not.. This is interesting. (not my write up)



You will find few contemporary historic analyses that identify the spread of Islam through Arabia to be anything other than one of violent conquest. Beyond just the initial expansion of Islam through the Arabian Peninsula, the totality of the Muslim Conquests spanned a period of ~430 years (with further expansion and conquest later), ultimately claiming more square-mileage of land than any other pre-historic empire.


Indeed, when looking at the history of Islamic expansion it stands as a virtual impossibility to bypass the conquering of the innumerable people and cultures that preceded its existence. From Syria to Persia; Palestine to Iraq; To Europe (Spain) in the West and India in the East; and through Constantinople, Asia, and North Africa: Islam cyphered the knowledge and wealth from preexisting cultures and people, laying claim to all that stood before it by way of the sword, and inevitably leaving all but dust in its wake once the established cultures had vanished.

Muhammad’s life, and the subsequent 1,382 years of Islamic existence thereafter have been marred – if not defined – by the command, conquer and death that is intertwined therein. And so it is not without bizarre irony that Palestinians and Arab Muslims alike have managed to reduce the dialogue surrounding the convoluted Gaza conflict to one that is wholly, and solely focused on human rights.

The Syrian Civil War, a conflict in the region that has been largely reduced to infighting between Islamic groups, has a total death toll of over 170,000 people and has seen a further +1,000,000 displaced. Of the ~170,000 dead, over 55,000 have been civilians. In fact, the rate of death in the conflict is ever-rising, and is becoming virtually impossible to accurately measure. This is a human rights travesty in which the number of deaths in one week often surpass the entire death toll for the month-long Israel/Gaza conflict.

Involved in the conflict is ISIL, otherwise known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which postures to reestablish the Islamic unity of many of the lands involved in the Muslim Conquests described at the onset of this article. As of this morning, ISIL have made inroads to Lebanese territory and are rapidly expanding. ISIL, along with many other Islamic groups, are routinely involved in the murder and oppression of minority religious groups abroad. In fact, religious minority groups all across predominantly Islamic lands are routinely subjugated at the hands of the ruling Islamic class. Coptic Christians in Egypt, for example, have bore the brunt of ethnic and religious supremacism while native Iraqi Christians are facing ethnic cleansing at the hands of ISIL.

Despite the obvious realities involved – that is to say, that Islam remains a larger proponent of death, oppression, and barbarianism than Israel could ever dream to be – the microscopic focus for human rights remains on a conflict that, by and large, pales in comparison to many of the atrocities taking place around the globe.

And so begs the question: What is the real driving factor behind the focus on Israel and Palestine? Put simply, the answer can be found in the question: Israel. If Israel were not a Jewish State, the conflict would garner nowhere near the microscopic focus that it does, and would most certainly not receive the unanimous condemnation of Muslims around the globe. It would stand as just another conflict in an embattled region of the world that has, for the better part of 1,000 years, been in a perpetual state of war. Moreover, the conflict in and of itself would more than likely not exist, as the conflict hinges entirely upon the premise that Israel is not an Islamic nation by either demography or state rule.

While the death of innocent civilians is deplorable under any circumstance, it is no less one of the many unfortunate realities of war. A reality of war that is perhaps more complex in the Gaza conflict than in any other, and a reality of war that – often conveniently forgotten – Arab Muslims are all too familiar with.

This is not an issue of human rights, and it never was. This is Arab Muslim supremacism and Antisemitism masquerading behind the guise of human rights; an effort to exploit Western sensitivity in exchange for supporting the eradication of a Jewish state, and to ultimately see the return of the Islamic status-quo in a land long-tainted by an inhumane history.

Well then... This must be the truth..

Gaza has one of the highest growth rates of any population in the world.. It's literally the opposite of genocide, or "baby killing" .

Thus we can only surmise 1 conclusion.

Israel has one of the worst armies in Human history.. The Hutu militia killed what? 150-200 times as many people in 1 year as Israel has done in 9?

Spanish Journalist on Why Hamas Never Photographed in Action: ‘If Ever We Dared Point Our Camera on Them They Would Simply Shoot at Us and Kill Us’

This guy is an extreme right wing politician.

That being said, whoever translated this article did some crafty editing to sway peoples opinions from the reality of the letter., i can read Hebrew, there is nothing about concentration camps AT ALL.

He spoke about temporary tent encampments on the Egyptian border until electricity can be restored, if not, other encampment locations to house people until the problem is fixed...

There is a big difference between the title and the actual contents of the latter. The daily mail did a great job distorting it.

But, this man is still an asshole.




Oh is it not rare? Have you met any Israelis? Do you know any? Or are you following Mondoweiss statistics?

I'm sure Israelis want the people firing at them to get their asses kicked, but very smal proportions call for any sort of genocide.

I know plenty of Canadians who think the whole middle east should be nuked, plenty... Are Canadians genocidal? No.

How about you show me where Netenyahu said

I challenge you to find me that quote.



Hamas's Charter and main goal openly calls for the death of jews, everywhere, not just israelis, jews all over the world. This is public knowledge. They chant it on the news and in the streets on occasion. MOST of the population of Gaza voted for them...

What does that tell you?

Oh now they were voting in by most of the population ? Lol
 
Definitely not Fatah. All their politicians were executed after the election and a gender/religious apartheid was put in place.

Oh now they were voting in by most of the population ? Lol

Here you go buddy. I didnt think you would have the memory or skills necessary to find my answer to your previous question on PAGE 21...

But look, what does it say?

It says after the election doesnt it...

And how are elections won? By having most of the population vote for 1 party...

Well done

Why am i not surprised lol? You formed some strong opinions for a guy who is really quite ignorant and uninformed.

Let me spoon feed you again:

Fighters from the Hamas party claimed full control of Palestinian Authority security agencies in Gaza late Thursday. Its leader rejected an emergency decree from President Mahmoud Abbas dissolving the Hamas-led Palestinian unity government.

The emergency decree dismissed Prime Minister Ismail Haniya and announced that an interim government staffed by Abbas' Fatah party would be created.

The president vowed to hold new elections "as soon as the situation on the ground permits," Abbas adviser Tayeb Abdel Rahim said.

But Haniya, whose militant Islamic party won control of the Palestinian parliament in 2006, rejected the "hasty" decree and said his government would remain in office.

"Our presence in the government came about from democratic and popular will and through the ballot boxes," he said in a late-night speech. "We restate that we will continue to follow democratic conduct and respect the political system and all of its components which came through the elections."

After four days of intense fighting that left at least 70 Palestinians dead, Hamas fighters waved their green banners atop the headquarters of the Preventive Security Service in Gaza City and took numerous prisoners. (Watch how Hamas crushed Fatah) Video

By midnight, the Islamic movement -- which the United States, Israel and the European Union consider a terrorist organization -- claimed control over Gaza City's presidential compound, Palestinian security sources said.

Rahim declared the situation "a military coup attempt." And Palestinian legislator Saeb Erakat, an Abbas ally, told CNN that Gaza "is now officially out of our control as the Palestinian Authority."

Haniya urged an end to the fighting and said his government would move quickly to restore order in Gaza, already battered by weeks of factional clashes between Hamas and Fatah. And he tried to ease concerns about the split in the Palestinian Authority, vowing not to separate Gaza from the remaining Palestinian territory in the West Bank.

"The Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian land, and our people in the strip are an integral part of our people the world over," he said. "We refuse the existence of a Palestinian state in the strip alone. The country is one and cannot be divided."

A Hamas representative in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan, told CNN that Hamas had to rein in rogue Fatah commanders in the security forces who had created fiefdoms in Gaza.

"Someone has to control the situation and bring them to the law," he said. (Watch: Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan speaks to CNN Video)

Hamas fighters ransacked captured installations Thursday and led away shirtless Fatah prisoners. Their fates were unknown late Thursday, but Hamdan denied reports that Fatah captives were being executed in the streets.

Abbas and the rest of the Palestinian Authority leadership are based in Ramallah, in the West Bank. But the collapse of the Fatah-controlled Palestinian security forces in Gaza raised questions in Israel, the United States and the surrounding Arab region about the future of any settlement of the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Hamas and Fatah formed a unity government in February in an effort to stop periodic street battles and restart international funding, particularly from the United States and the European Union. Direct funding was cut off after Hamas refused to renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist.

Islamic law could be imposed

A Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Fouzi Barhoum, said earlier that Hamas was imposing Islamic law in Gaza. But speaking from Damascus, Syria, exiled Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal denied the movement would place the territory under religious law.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev told CNN that Israel was concerned that Gaza would become a "Taliban-like" Islamic stronghold. But he insisted that it would keep channels open to moderate leaders such as Abbas "who believe in peace."

In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States stands behind Abbas, whom it has supplied with about $60 million in security assistance.

"He was elected in 2005 by a large margin," Rice said. "We fully support him in trying to end this crisis for the Palestinian people and give them an opportunity for a return to peace and a better future."

Israel has viewed the fighting with alarm, calling for an international force to patrol the Egypt-Gaza border to prevent new and more powerful armaments from being smuggled in if Hamas gained control of the territory.

"The situation in Gaza is dangerous, and the danger is that Hamas will take over and turn Gaza into 'Hamastan' -- to a kingdom of thugs, murderers, terrorists, poverty and despair," said Ephraim Sneh, Israel's deputy defense minister. "That's the meaning of Hamas control over Gaza."

But Israel has tried to stay out of the fighting, considering it an internal Palestinian fight, Regev said.

The European Commission, the executive branch of the EU, announced Thursday that it is suspending $112 million in aid for the Palestinian territories and cut off all 16 of its relief projects in Gaza for the first time, due to the lack of security.

But Louis Michel, the European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, said he hopes the projects "can resume very soon."

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has dismissed the Hamas-led coalition government and declared a state of emergency.
Aides said the president would seek to call elections as soon as possible, after deadly clashes between his Fatah faction and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

PM Ismail Haniya, of Hamas, said that Mr Abbas' decision was hasty and vowed to continue working for unity.

Hamas says it is in total control of Gaza, taking the presidential compound.

More than 100 people have died on the streets of Gaza during a week of factional battles between Fatah and Hamas.

Aid suspended

After dismissing the government, Mr Abbas will now rule by presidential decree until the conditions are right for elections, a senior aide announced.


What is happening now is not only the collapse of the Palestinian national unity government but actually the collapse of the whole Palestinian Authority
Mustafa Barghouti,
Palestinian Information Minister

Q&A: Gaza chaos
West Bank fears
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave her backing to Mr Abbas, saying he had exercised his "lawful authority".

"We fully support him in his decisions to try to end this crisis for the Palestinian people and to give them an opportunity to return to peace and a better future," she said.

The crisis has now prompted the European Commission to suspend humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The BBC's Matthew Price in Jerusalem says the West Bank and Gaza Strip will now effectively be split from one another - Gaza run by Hamas and the West Bank by Fatah.

But Mr Haniya said Mr Abbas had taken "premature decisions that betray all agreements reached".

He rejected the notion of a separate Gaza state, saying: "The Gaza Strip is an indivisible part of the homeland and its residents are an integral part of the Palestinian people."

Mr Haniya said he would maintain the national unity administration agreed with Fatah three months ago and would impose law and order decisively and legally.

'Outlaws'

Hamas fighters overran most of Gaza on Thursday, capturing the headquarters of Fatah's Preventative Security force and hailing Gaza's "liberation".

After nightfall militants entered Mr Abbas' presidential compound, which had been left undefended when Fatah men slipped away earlier.

Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti said Hamas was in total control of Gaza.

"What is happening now is not only the collapse of the Palestinian national unity government but actually the collapse of the whole Palestinian Authority," he told the BBC.

Mr Abbas said he had issued his decree because of the "criminal war in the Gaza Strip" and the "armed rebellion by outlaws".

Hamas won a surprise victory in Palestinian elections in early 2006 but has since been engaged in a violent power struggle with Fatah.

Hamas, an Islamic organisation, rose to prominence in Gaza during two Palestinian uprisings and refuses to recognise or negotiate with Israel.

Fatah, a secular political grouping headed by Mr Abbas, ran the Palestinian Authority until 2006 and officially recognises the Jewish state.
