Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

Muslim countries are proving food medicine etc every few days. There are constant convoys arriving at the checkpoints of Gaza. They have trouble with delivering building supplies as Israel does not permit Gaza to have these.

Unfortunately they also do not permit rockets, mortars, shells etc, which might help address the imbalance between Gaza and its oppressors. They have to resort to smuggling. Israel, of course, does not have this problem as the US is more than happy to supply them with the latest weapons.

One such use of these weapons was the shooting of the 65 year old Palestinian man in bed the other day - "IOF troops quietly entered his flat and went straight to his bedroom and riddled his head and upper body with 13 bullets leaving his brain splattered on the floor mistaking him for someone else".

Ruth - no need to apologise to me at all ... i was just slightly curious whether or not your handle reflected said lady of biblical mention.

Haystack - Muslim countries are proving food medicine etc every few days. There are constant convoys arriving at the checkpoints of Gaza ..... exactly how many and from which countries? .... not remotely interested in your usual histrionics about weapons etc

Cynic,

exactly how many and from which countries?



Why not do your own homework.

why should i? ..... you're the guys who reckon you know it all ..... the rest of us are apparently just a bunch of schmucks who won't listen to your truth, even if it is selective - a bit like the guys involved with wikileaks and its championing of freedom of information except when its about themselves

Cynic, sorry misunderstood your post re my handle

That's an epic fahel.

I think, maybe, the point of the parody went a little over your head. I know a gag's not funny when it has to be explained, but your reaction goes a long way towards explaining it.

Palestinian bid to take Israeli settlement row to UN

Arab nations have formally submitted a resolution to the UN Security Council that condemns Israeli settlement building in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the United States will almost certainly veto if it is brought to a vote.

"The American administration is of course aware that a veto wouldn't be a good solution," says a UN diplomat. "They'd be vetoing a resolution which is saying what the US administration has been saying for the last 18 months."

What the Palestinians have is a fair bit of international support. An independent monitoring group, the Security Council Report, predicts that upwards of 100 nations would co-sponsor the settlement resolution, and most of the Security Council members would support it.

haycrapper released into Care in the Community again.

"With the stalemate in the American-led negotiations, Palestinian officials have indeed begun to pursue a more internationalist approach, lobbying for widespread recognition of their state. The plan is to request full membership at the UN when support reaches a critical mass. "

"Given such global backing (seven Latin American states have recognised a Palestinian state in the last month), many Palestinians think their leaders should ditch an ally that they believe has protected Israel far more than it has them."

"The bottom line is that to bring the settlement resolution to a vote, the Palestinians would have to be ready to confront not only Israel, but the United States. It would be a real problem for the West Bank leadership to alienate its closest ally and main financier.

But polls show most Palestinians oppose a return to negotiations without some action on settlements, so it may be an even bigger problem for the leadership to do nothing."

Pretty picture, parrot.

Russia reaffirms recognition of Palestinian state

The Russian president, on a rare visit to the West Bank, has reaffirmed Moscow's recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

Dmitry Medvedev said Russia had recognised the state in 1988 and his country's position remained unchanged.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is seeking the country's support for a tougher stance towards Jewish settlements at the UN Security Council.

"We remember that Russia was one of the first states in the world to recognise the state of Palestine in 1988," Mr Abbas said at a news conference, held in Jericho, with Mr Medvedev.

The Russian president replied: "Russia made its choice a long time ago... we supported and will support the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to an independent state with its capital in East Jerusalem."

"We made our decision then and we have not changed it today," he added.

Palestinian diplomats say they are about to seek a UN resolution against continued settlement expansion in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the issue which prompted the Palestinians to leave the negotiating table. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia has the power to veto resolutions.

The Russian leader agreed that "without some sort of reasonable [Israeli] decision concerning their settlement activity, there will be no progress".

Apartheid Wall on schedule

The segregation wall which Israel is embarking on building now around the occupied city of Jerusalem will isolate about 100, 000 Palestinian natives living behind the wall from their holy city.

In a press release on Wednesday, the ministry stated that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) will finish building the wall within one year according to the plan approved by deputy chief of staff Yair Naveh.

The ministry warned that if this wall was completed, no one would be allowed into the holy city or the 1948 occupied lands without permission from the IOA, noting that the Israeli municipal council in Jerusalem is trying to play down the Palestinian natives' fears by claiming the wall is intended for their protection.

It added that the suffering of more than 100, 000 Jerusalemite citizens living behind the wall would increase, especially since the Israeli municipal council and its institutions do not provide them with any services.
