The Islamic Hamas movement would be willing to accept a peace treaty with Israel negotiated by President Mahmoud Abbas, if the deal was approved by Palestinians in a referendum, former US president Jimmy Carter said Monday. 'They said they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by the Palestinians and that they would accept the right to live as a neighbour next door in peace, provided the agreements negotiated by Prime Minister (Ehud) Olmert and President (Mahmoud) Abbas will be submitted to the Palestinians for their overall approval,' he told an audience in Jerusalem.

You may be wondering the following: If I am blaming the majority of Palestinians for supporting terror in their hearts and with their votes, then why do I still reject Kahanism despite Palestinian Arabic support of terrorism. It's simple, the Bible says that there should be a single law and single ordinance for the stranger and the native of the land (Numbers 15.16). Kahanism removes voting rights from Palestinian Arabs. Not all Arabs would be ejected from Israel under Rabbi Meir Kahane's plan, those who swore allegiance can stay, only without voting rights.Obviously whoever is chomping at the bit for bloodshed has no place in the Israel of the future. So what Kahanism is effectively saying is that those Israeli Arabs who befriend Israel should be rewarded with no right to vote. The Tor

Do celebrations like this one help the Palestinian cause?A number of Muslim bloggers have expressed their disgust over the unseemly street celebrations by Palestinians for the murders of eight young Jewish students at an Israeli seminary in Jerusalem. Abdur-Rahman Muhammad and Tariq Nelson, both Muslim bloggers based in Washington, D.C., see nothing heroic in the attack or anything honorable about these public displays of hatred. The comments sections, however, are much more interesting as many Muslims express sharply opposing views on the attack and the celebrations. Many rightfully complain of the lack of attention to Palestinian deaths, but seem to think that media neglect and Israeli attacks justify the shootings or excuse the celebrations. Then there are a fair number of other Musl
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Sunday urged the UN Security Council to provide international protection for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and Jerusalem and endorsed President Mahmoud Abbas’ decision to suspend the negotiations and contacts with Israel until the Israeli “criminal aggression” on Gaza immediately stops.Referring to the “declared intentions” of the Israeli occupation’s leaders to turn the Gaza Strip into a “holocaust” reminiscent of the Nazi crimes, the PLO Executive Committee in a statement released on Sunday called on the “UN Security Council and all international bodies to provide international protection for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the rest of the Palestinian homeland in the West Bank and Jerusale

In my last post 10 Palestinians Killed for Every Israeli is intolerable I stated that Palestinian children were killed "by being human shields and purposely put in the line of fire by Palestinian adults".
This is a so well known fact that I thought I did not need to offer proof. But there are people who still believe the world is flat and one can wonder if there is any proof that will satisfy them of the opposite.
So one reader left this comment: Most of these children were killed while they were playing on the street.
Although she offered no proof, no links, no photos of children being killed while simply playing, I was able to find those damning images of children just minding their own business playing around innocently before they were likely murdered by Israel military assassins:
Here in Gaza in 2004, the little tykes are playing Will the Israelis fire back when fired upon by Palestinian Hero Warriors who would never shoot from positions surrounded by human shields. What

The incident involved a shootout with automatic rifles Friday morning in the Bourj el-Barajneh camp, south of Beirut. The officials said three people were wounded - two from the Palestinian mainstream Fatah group and one from the rival Syria-backed radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.An official of the PFLP-GC in the camp, Ramez Mustafa, described the incident as a squabble between two families, the al-Bashirs and the al-Habets. He said the squabble erupted into a gunfight near the Palestinian group's offices after Friday noon prayers.Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon are generally known for lawlessness and armed groups vying for control.

In the last few weeks, the Palestinian Islamist Hamas has succeeded in tricking Israeli military intelligence into believing that the IDF forays behind the lines in Gaza had slowed down their Qassam missile offensive against Israeli towns and villages.It was a ruse. DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that stocks of the primitive Qassam missiles are low because Hamas has stopped making them and is now fully engaged in setting up the production of a new generation of missiles upgraded to a range of up to 25 km, armed with 3-kilo warheads - one-and a half times the range of the types in current use and more than double their explosive power - and greater accuracy.Production lines are also going up in several towns on the West Bank, the territory governed by Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority.

The indictment, which was unsealed on February 20, 2003, also charged the individuals with “conspiracy within the United States to kill and maim persons abroad, conspiracy to provide material support and resources to PIJ, conspiracy to violate emergency economic sanctions,” extortion, perjury, obstruction of justice, and immigration fraud. Four other individuals were also charged under the same indictment—Ramadan Abduallah Shallah, Bashir Musa Mohammed Nafi, Mohammed Tasir Hassan
The Guardian reports that Palestinian militants have relied on Google Earth for their attacks against Israeli military and civilian targets:Members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a group aligned with the Fatah political party, say they use the popular internet mapping tool to help determine their targets for rocket strikes. "We obtain the details from Google Earth and check them against our maps of the city centre and sensitive areas," Khaled Jaabari, the group's commander in Gaza who is known as Abu Walid, told the Guardian. Abu Walid showed the Guardian an aerial image of the Israeli town of Sderot on his computer to demonstrate how his group searches for targets. The Guardian filmed an al-Aqsa test rocket launch, fired into an uninhabited area of the Negev desert, last month. Despite the crudeness of the weapons, many have landed in Sderot, killing around a dozen people in the last three years and wounding scores more. More...

Ameerican Secretary of State Condi Rice met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and promised the upcoming US sponsored peace conference “has to be substantive and advance the cause of a Palestinian state.” Abbas wants Syria and Lebanon invited to the meeting but it is uncertain if those nations will receive an invitation. Hamas leaders responded by saying, “any agreement that might result form the US-designed peace conference this fall will not be binding for the Palestinian people.”
As Rice holds meetings during her brief stay-over in the Middle East, the Israel government is threatening to cut off water and fuel to Gaza unless shelling ceases of their territory. Abbas denounced the threat as dangerous to the health of Palestinian people. Saudi Arabia is yet uncertain of attending the meeting because it doubts anything of importance will emerge. Prime Minister of Israel has yet to commit his nation to substantive results which casts a shadow over the ent
Israel’s security cabinet declared Gaza an “enemy entity” as Secretary of State Condi Rice flew to the Middle East for a 24 hour engagement with serious issues. Hamas responded to the Israel statement with “It is a declaration of war and continues the criminal terrorist Zionist actions against our people.” Rice in conversations with reporters on the plane carrying her to the Middle East assured them there would not be a photo-op approach to her efforts to reconcile issues between Israel and the Palestinians.
Each day rockets fly from Gaza into Israel and now the Israeli government is considering cutting off fuel and water in order to halt these attacks. Hamas is responding with brave words of defiance while the Palestinian government is demanding some concrete action in order to show all Palestinians that peace is possible. For some reason, the American Secretary of State actually believes she can do something significant in a 24 hour time period to deal w

A PRAYER REQUEST urges the remnant body of Christ to stay put. "The big concern and the big temptation is to flee. That's not wholly without merit. But if all the believers leave an area, there's no Gospel witness left there," says Glenn Penner, VOM Canada. CHRISTIANS ARE AWAITING signs of what the future may hold. There's much to pray about in the days ahead. "Things have settled down to a degree. Unfortunately, the group that has taken control, Hamas, is a far more militant organization, and time is only going to tell just how much they're going to implement Sharia law in Gaza. Al-Qaeda Deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri Calls on Hamas to Enforce the Shari'a in Gaza. Things are certainly going to be better for believers in the West Bank, which is under the control of Fatah." Pray that Christians will be free to worship in Gaza without fear. Pray for peace in the region. SOURCE: Stacy L. Harp PersecutionBlog ::
Peace talks may get back underway between Isreal and Palestine, but Hamas still is holding out in Gaza.
Obama has finally condemned a memo criticizing Hillary Clinton’s ties to India that included some racially insensitive remarks. I wonder what took him so long.
Iraq is no longer the #1 failed state. That wonderful title has officially passed to Sudan. Congratulations to everyone involved.

nonc0mpliant remarks on how Sudan’s problems are being partially blamed on shifting weather patterns. I think he’s right in saying that ecological factors often play more of a role in politics and human behavior than we care to recognize.
What happens if Al-Qaeda commits a terrorist attack in such a way as to implicate Iran? Would we go to war?
A fascinating history of ethnic cleansing in America, plus some frightening new developments. Apparently the Nazi Party’s membership grew by 40% in America after they started targeting Latinos.

Let me show u the good hospitality recognition of the Palestinians.Those people that didn't learn the first time (1975-1992) that lebanon is theres to play with.But started again to burn Lebanon.1. They stole a bank in northern Lebanon2. They killed around 10 Lebanese army soldiers in cold blood (they dicapitulated them)3. The army retaliated brutally4. The war on terror in Lebanon had a name war on "Fate7 el Islam" but what did the other Palestinians, they protested, against the people that gave them all, that sacrificed a country for them, look what the other Palestinian gangs did.They protestedThey Bombed our MallsThey threatened the Lebanese Army5. For humanitarian reasons the army compromised a cease fire to remove the dead and the injured from the street so the Palestinians in the middle of the cease fire ceased control of a Mosque containing the red cross and the UN HQ's in the camp.That's why we love to hate the Palestinians.
