Hamas leader defiant in face of new Israeli assault
Israel News.Net Monday 12th January, 2009
In a recorded televised address, Hamas leader, Ishmael Haniyeh, has said the militant Islamist movement will still be able to drive Israel from the Gaza Strip.
haniyeh said the city would never be allowed to fall to the Israelis.
The defiant Hamas leader said his fighters were closer than ever to victory after 17 days of conflict.
Israeli infantry units, which have been augmented with thousands of newly-deployed reservists, have swept across Gaza in the operation which has been named Cast Lead.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has promised there will be severe consequences for Hamas if it continues to send rockets into Israel.
In a speech in the southern Israeli town of Ashkelon, Mr Olmert said: "We want to end the operation when Hamas ends the rocket fire and stops rearming. If these two conditions are met, we will end our operation in Gaza. The Israeli people are no longer ready to tolerate the Qassam rockets."
An army spokesman said that close to 30 missiles had been launched from Gaza during the course of Monday, but there were no reports of casualties.

Hamas leader defiant in face of new Israeli assault
Mr. Haniyeh is sorely mistaken. From a purely military stance, the only reason Hamas is still around is the self-restraint of the Israeli military. People nowadays do not remember what all out wars are. Think of Dresden or many other cities in Germany in WW2. Or for that matter many cities utterly destroyed during many of the wars in the last century. Do they not understand that Israel has the capacity to do that to all of Gaza? That is war. They need to consider that if they are so concerned for the citizens of Gaza. It is not pretty, but, it could be war in the fullest sense. No matter who is right or wrong, a negotiated settlement needs to be done before something truly horrific can happen. I think that Israel is showing remarkable restraint. Imagine rockets from Mexico into San Diego. How long do you think that would last. PLEASE, ALL PARTIES STOP...NOW!

In response to "By Faith"
Actually, no I am not a murderous monster. Nor, am I racist and practice only peace to ALL people. I am only speaking the truth. War, in ALL of its' ugliness is a HORROR! But, we as human beings must be realistic. That is what I was saying. To deny it is stupidity or ignorance. The weapons available to Israel... RIGHT NOW, ARE capable of the fullness of the horror of war. This in only using conventional weapons. Both sides must sit down and talk realistically. Together THEY can resolve this. Also, I was hoping to get a good dialogue going. But, most of what I see is a rant. Oh well, better luck next time...huh?

DUH? Why they all take the same idiotic s**t
If Ishmael Haniyeh really wants the Israeli army out, why then did he invites them in with rocket fire in the first place when everyone was minding their own business. Such daft words. Why provoke when the consequences are what we see today. What is the ultimate objective of Hamass, a purist state? Take it a step further. Let’s kick all non native people out of every country, especially the middle east. Who is going to do the manual labour, getting the oil out, cleaning the homes of rich arabs, building construction etc etc.??? Think man think....!!!

Blockhead - Haniyah
The ex-Prime minister (Haniyah) of Palastine is just like the Communication Minister of Iraq under Sadam Hussien. What a clown and a blockhead he is. His people are dying everydays and it is very clear that the Isreal are having the upperhand and he is telling his people that they are winning the war against the Isreal.
Haniyah is only good at sending the ladies and the children to the frontlines to fight the Isrealis.

Gaza Conflicts - Malaysia & The World Involvement
Before we comment on the rest of the world, let’s take a look at Malaysia,especially the ruling politicians.
How sincere are they towards peace efforts? Malaysia politicians approach had been always one sided. Most of the time it is based on race locally and religion globally. It does not matter who is right or wrong but which segment the doers falls into. No wonder Malaysia could not do much in the global arena since my secondary school days. YOU NEED TO BE NEUTRAL TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. If you can’t do it stand aside like the Singaporeans and mind your own business. IT REQUIRES CERTAIN LEVEL OF INTEGRITY & CREDIBILITY TO VOICE OUT INTERNATIONAL ISSUES.
Making angels out of Hamas or devils out of Israels will not elevate the innocent people sufferings on both sides, especially the Palestine people.
For some it is a good story to sell in the upcoming KT by-election. You may ask the average Malaysians to resign from American fast food joints BUT will you ask you son or daughter to resign from a well paying American firm. TALK IS EASY WHEN ONE HEADS TOWARDS A STATE OF SENILE FROM STATESMAN STANDARD. What difference it makes whether a Palestine child or Malaysian child suffers. When was the last time you heard HUNGER speaking to you about your race or religion and your politicians glory.
All the simpletons like us must think twice because it could be only be ANOTHER DAY FOR YOU & ME TO BE IN PARADISE.

Hammas
Neither Hammas nor Israel are concerned for the innocent women, children of Palestine.They are concerned only for launching rockets to each other. In this war ultimately Israel is benefitted and injecting a horrifying fear to the minds of the people of Palestine so that infuture if Hammas takes the weapons in hands against Israel, before taking weapons they will re-think.USA never paid attention to UN who asked USA not to attack Iraq, in a more or less same way Israel and Hammas are not paying attention to cease fire called up by UN.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine will never be solved unless the big powers on the earth come together and cooperate both the conflicting country to solve its problem by treaty. When one is strong and other is weak, then a third party should involve to help the weak. But the world political look is changed a lot.We feel pain for the innocent children and women of Palestine. God help them.Again a proverb comes to mind “Might is Right ", then “Nonviolence is the best policy” for the sufferes. I think this is one of the solutions by which peace can be established in long run.Now it is the biggest question how many generations is needed to see peace through the nonvilolence.

HANIYEH'S LAST GASP
Hamas’s famous last words will echo through the annals of terrorist history as: “We won!" Someday soon, Hamas will join the list of extinct species like the dinosaurs and the dodo. Someday, my children will visit the Museum of Terrorism and find taxidermist speciments of Hamas fighters in various action positions, like launching missiles and hiding behind children. Pass the popcorn, please.

Peace? What Peace?
Peace? How do you preach peace when you have no peace or not having experience it? What peace, when you do not practice it? Why the segregation when in Mecca when God’s people come as one for the pilgrimage. Why the distinct boundaries for different races who goes for the Haj... Even without the existence of Israel there will be no peace, they just happen to be in the top of the hate list. Look at the neighboring nations where Muslims attack and kill whole village of Muslim brothers because they are from different factions of the faith. Who is wrong then, who gave them the weapon to do that, where was the eh..hm! emergency council? It is on going...when will there be peace? Why is a Malay Muslim different from an Arab Muslim why second class. Does Heaven awaits with an immigration queue for 'citizens' and 'non citizens'? All of us have blood on our hands one way or another, murder is murder! Only God has the right to give or take a life. To us all we have in one way or other supported either party in what they do..SO BLOOD ON OUR HANDS TOO — — SHAME SHAME on us all!

Monkey value takes not from Wisdom in ownership values
salaam = peace,
Monkey sees, Monkey takes, Not from the Wisdom Tree of LIFE as witnesses of the ownership value called from both sides of any exchanges of either garden of life,
For the monkey calls warriors to take NOT from Wisdom of accuracy in ownership values,
Facts USA nor Harry Truman neither owned Filastine KINGDOM,
so where are Israel’s witnesses upon the exchange rate brought the monkey tree system.
Anti Wisdom in its foundation at the advice of USA system tossed out Wisdom in ownership values upon anothers garden while finding it handy upon its own garden of ownership value disputes with TRUTH in claims.

Hamas is deluded. They think they owned Palestine. Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people not HAMASS, their only mistake is voting for HAMASS “the denizens from hell”. Now hell ruled, and the devil, haniyeh is hiding under her mother’s hijah.

Israel left TRUTH back at that 1947 line of ownership values
salaam,
And took the advice of anti Wisdom USA in ownership values of not calling witnesses,
but calls warriors to take what it desired,
in ownership claims anti Wisdom was made recognizeable by TRUTH in claims from its foundation facts of how the expansion was obtained by aggression tactics of anti Wisdom rulers

secretslave 01-12-09, 07:32 PM |
Voting upon law is ignorancy of the law of Wisdom came with its own account
salaam,
Right is proved by the law of WISDOM,
because Right has not changed,
nor did it move,
nor was it lost in accuracy of teachers GOLDEN rule bring it from its foundation in claims upon RIGHT leaves no doubt,
as doubt holds questionable accounts,
ignorancy knows not,
Wisdom that be of the knowing TRUTH,
was not near fiction,
nor was fiction near TRUTH.
Opposites mostly what was given to life in degrees of Knowledgeable TRUTH,
For some did strive to make fiction of TRUTH.

dear zionists pig shit

the zionist and george bush butchers / murderers along with their accomplices hosni mubarak and abbas of Palestine hatched this conspiracy to kill Palestinians to gain from it. These people have near complete control of the world news media who are their slaves. These zionists also killed the sailors of the USS liberty in 1967- awebsite by this name exists. May ALLAH (SW) punish and humiliate these conspirators in the most severest manner- Ameen.

It is must they should stop loobing rocket to Isreal comply with the cease fire. But no they keep on doing it and Isreal will not tolerate the action they are doing. The simply solution to the matter must be a diplomatic one.Who ever asupply the Katushya rocket must stop giving it to them. Give them foods and medicines and some fundings to upgrade and reconstruct the Palestine nation as well as educATION, dO LET sAMMY AND gALLJDAJ BE THERE WAY OF THINKING.

Why do you stone to death young girls? Use honor killings and beheadings? Use your own women and children as human shields. Recruit them to be suicide murderers? Why is it that muslims just can’t seem to coexist peacefully with other people anywhere in the world? Maybe it is time for you muslims to do a little introspection into why you are so hateful and violent.
