Hamas must be brought into peace process, says Tony Blair (From: The Times January 31, 2009, by Philip Webster, Political Editor)
Hamas must somehow be brought into the Middle East peace process because the policy of isolating Gaza in the quest for a settlement will not work, Tony Blair has told The Times.
Blair implicitly criticises the strategy by the Bush Administration and Israel of focusing all peace and reconstruction efforts on the West Bank. “It was half of what we needed,” he said.

Israel zette geheimzinnig wapen in Gaza in, VS voeren druk onderzoek oorlogsmisdaden op
De Noorse artsen Mads Gilbert en Erik Fosse maakten in het begin van de oorlog al bekend dat Israel gebruikmaakte van een onbekend type wapen dat ledematen amputeert.
Doctors Spooked by Israel's Mystery Weapon (January 28, 2009)
Critics continue to press the case that Israel committed "war crimes". Many of these wounds of casualties may have been caused by a weapon which is designed to reduce collateral damage. Not that the Israelis admit they have the thing.
Fosse says that the weapon "causes the tissue to be torn from the flesh. It looks very different [from a shrapnel injury]. I have seen and treated a lot of different injuries for the last 30 years in different war zones, and this looks completely different."
According to Fosse and Gilbert, the weapon typically amputates or tears apart lower limbs and patients often do not survive. "It's no more illegal than normal blast-and-shrapnel weapons, but it is a mystery," according to the doctors.
A version of the GBU-40 Small Diameter Bomb is the only known focused-lethality munition. Ares speculated that the IDF is using weapons supplied by the U.S. Air Force; a spokesman told the site that "we cannot release sensitive information on foreign military sales."

Clinton en Obama, de Palestijnen en etnische zuivering: Oproep aan Obama
(Obama en Hillary Clinton over Israel en de Palestijnen in Gaza)
“Obama and Israel’s plan for ethnic cleansing”
The transfer and annihilation of Arabs in Palestine has been the continuing policy of Zionist Jews since the late 1800’s. And in very recent days with Israel’s invasion of Gaza, the Israeli policy of “ethnic cleansing” has been displayed to the entire world in all of its horrific manifestations.
Obama recentky reiterated in an interview with the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV network on January 26, 2009: The commitment of the US to Israel as an ally and to its right to defend itself.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated in her first news conference on January 27, 2009, that “America supports Israel’s right to self-defense.” She added that “the rocket barrages which are getting closer and closer to populated areas in Israel cannot go unanswered.”

"19-year-old children hold guns pointed at the heads of 5-year-old children" (January 27, 2009)
This video, “which will be shown some day at the Holocaust Memorial” is the voice of an Israeli woman (affiliated with Machsom Watch) pleading with Obama to end the occupation, and there are countless images of Palestinians at checkpoints, humiliated, treated like cattle, standing on lines for hours, herded, crowded.
An old women, bent over with canes, is forced to walk thru the dust. Students in lines watching their dreams evaporate. Israeli soldiers with their guns pointed at the heads of little girls.
Grown women squirming with their shopping through gaps in the wall. Grown men undoing their clothes in public to be searched. All this happened in our time!
Obama, take away the pain in my stomach.

Peace Recedes as Israeli Settlements Expand (By:Daniel Luban)
Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank increased sharply in 2008, despite Israel's pledge at the beginning of the year to freeze all construction, according to a new report by an Israeli non-governmental organization [.pdf].
A report by the group Peace Now, found that settlement construction in 2008 increased by almost 60 percent, including new construction both inside and outside of the security barrier and within illegal settlement outposts.
Gershom Gorenberg, author of The Accidental Empire, a 2007 history of the settlements, urged Mitchell to stand firm against Netanyahu in an open letter published Wednesday in The American Prospect.

It’s a ceasefire… just not on the beach, not in your home (Jan 24, 2009)
On the 5th morning after Israel declared a 'ceasefire’, Israeli gunboats began shelling, as they had on several mornings since halting the 22 day air and land bombardment of Gaza. The shelling, which began just after 7:30 am off Gaza city’s coast, injured at least 6, including one boy with shrapnel in his head.

Israel admits using white phosphorous in attacks on Gaza (January 24, 2009)
After weeks of denying that it used white phosphorus in the heavily populated Gaza Strip, Israel finally admitted yesterday that the weapon was deployed in its offensive. The army’s use of white phosphorus – which makes a distinctive shellburst of dozens of smoke trails – was reported first by The Times on January 5, when it was strenuously denied by the army.

VN eisen onderzoek naar aanvallen in Gaza
Secretaris-generaal Ban Ki-moon van de VN eist een onderzoek naar de aanval op de VN-school in Gaza.
De Israëlische krant Haaretz meldde op 13 januari dat officieren van het Israëlische leger verklaard hebben dat er niet werd geschoten vanuit de VN-school die door een Israëlische tank onder vuur werd genomen.
Bij de aanval werden 40 Palestijnen die hun toevlucht hadden gezocht in het schoolgebouw gedood.
Beelden die werden vrijgegeven waarop was te zien dat er uit het schoolgebouw werd geschoten kwamen uit 2007, toen de VN het gebouw verlaten had en het werd overgenomen door militanten.
“TheUnited Nations is claiming Israeli military officers have admitted there was no Palestinian gunfire emanating from inside an UNRWA school in Gaza which was shelled by an IDF tank.”
He noted that all the footage released by the IDF of militants firing from inside the school was from 2007 and not from the incident itself.
"There are no up-to-date photos," Gunness said. "In 2007, we abandoned the site and only then did the militants take it over."
Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the shelling if the school

Israel accused of war crimes over 12-hour assault on Gaza village (Sunday 18 January 2009)
White flags ignored and houses bulldozed with families inside, claim residents Israel stands accused of perpetrating a series of war crimes during a sustained 12-hour assault on a village in southern Gaza last week in which 14 people died.
In testimony collected from residents of the village of Khuza'a by the Observer, it is claimed that Israeli soldiers entering the village: • attempted to bulldoze houses with civilians inside; • killed civilians trying to escape under the protection of white flags; • opened fire on an ambulance attempting to reach the wounded; • used indiscriminate force in a civilian area and fired white phosphorus shells. If the allegations are upheld, all the incidents would constitute breaches of the Geneva conventions.

“Kind gebruikt als schietschijf door Israëlische militairen”
Israëlische militairen doen aan "targetpracticing" met een dood kind. Ze hebben daarvoor een jongetje gebruikt dat ze vlak daarvoor een kogel door het hoofd hebben geschoten.
"Dad, I'm Dying" (Jan 15, 2009)
Papa ik ga dood; 9 jarig jongetje gebruikt als schietschijf door Israëliërs. De familie wilde een rustig moment gebruiken om in de tuin te ontbijten. Ze hadden er geen erg in dat ze werden bespied. Een bom vernielt hun huis.
Ze rennen weg om te schuilen maar werden beschoten. De vader had zijn zoontje beet toen hij in zijn been werd geschoten. De soldaten kwamen bij hen; hij hield zich dood.
Ze schoten zijn zoontje een kogel door het hoofd en namen zijn lijkje mee. De ouders moesten toezien hoe hun zoontje als schietdoel werd gebruikt.

Zonder Amerikaanse steun had Israel deze wantoestanden nooit kunnen veroorzaken. (Jan 14, 2009)
Paul Findley: America complicit in Israel’s military assault on Palestinians
In the U.N. Security Council, only the United States opposed a call for an immediate ceasefire. Without America’s unconditional military and political support, Israel could never carry out the destruction of Gaza or its humiliation of Palestinians in the West Bank and other war crimes.
America’s indifference to the plight of Gazans makes me wonder if our citizens have lost all capacity for moral outrage.
If you wish to find out who is really responsible for Israel’s scofflaw behavior and war crimes, look in the mirror. Citizens like you and me let lobbyists for a small, ruthless government make America its servant.
Oproep om deze waanzin te stoppen Enough!
Someone Must Stop Israel's Rampant Madness in Gaza, By: Gideon Levy; Haaretz Correspondent
This is how Israel now looks to the outside world - its tanks in the burning streets of Gaza; more and more people being killed for nothing; tens of thousands of new refugees; an appallingly haughty foreign minister, and a growing clamor of condemnation and disgust from all over the globe.
All those who supported this war and all those who objected to it should unite in the cry, Enough.

Gruwelijke situatie door Israelische aanvallen op Gaza
Er is geen veilige plaats meer te vinden in Gaza city. De bombardementen zijn geïntensiveerd. Mensen verlaten hun huizen en worden in hun nieuwe schuilplaats gebombardeerd. Israel schiet nog steeds met fosfor.

(Jan 15, 2009) Killed by Israel, Eaten by Dogs
"Een vierjarig meisje werd getroffen door mitrailleurvuur. Haar ouders konden door de rondvliegende kogels niet bij haar komen. 5 dagen lag het lijkje daar. In de tussentijd werd ze opgegeten door honden. Enkel een voetje bleef over," aldus een verslag van Uruknet.
Na 5 dagen deden de ouders een moedige poging om bij hun kindje te komen. Ze hebben het niet gehaald en zijn neergemaaid door een kogelregen. Getuigen zeggen dat de soldaten de ouders bij het lijkje weghielden om de honden een kans te geven zich ermee te voeden.
In Jabalya werd een familie beschoten toen ze 3 familieleden wilden begraven, waarna de Israeliers de honden er op loslieten. De familieleden werden door een kogelregen op afstand gehouden.

BBC argues with Israeli Spokesman over UN School Bombing
Een Israelisch vertegenwoordiger wordt aan de tand gevoeld over het feit dat zij bewust het VN gebouw hebben geschoten, een gebouw vol vluchtelingen.
Het weerwoord van de vertegenwoordiger is dat de Hamas het gebouw had overgenomen en dat zij de vluchtelingen als schild gebruikten. Hoe wisten ze dat zo zeker? Ze hebben bericht ontvangen dat dit zo was.
Hoe kan worden vastgesteld dat dit bericht van een onafhankelijke bron afkomstig was, aangezien niemand de waarheid van deze informatie kan achterhalen?
De vertegenwoordiger reageert hierop dat Hamas het gebouw niet had moeten bezetten. Dat de Israelische militairen belaagd werden door raketten van Hamas en dat het in een oorlogsituatie gebruikelijk is dat men terugschiet.
In het kort komt het er op neer dat de Hamas de schuld krijgt van het feit dat Israel gedwongen was het VN gebouw te bombarderen. 2 krijgers van Hamas zijn in het bombardement overleden zo stelde de Israelische inlichtingendienst, al waren de lichamen verdwenen.
