Latest Middle East

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Here is a report from the day before the alleged rocket attack.

The current situation is ongoing and seemingly unending with bad stuff happening on both sides.
Perhaps the incidents on Tuesday sparked the attack on Wednesday? And so on and so on.

I feel sorry for you and the Israeli people to have to live in this situation Balam - and I feel sorry for the Palestinians having to live in their situation. The politicians have made a right royal mess of your area - even worse than our politicians on Brexit.

Meanwhile the Israelis continue to colonise Palestine, steal their land, deny them just about every essential utility and continue to blame Jeremy Corbyn, Hamas and Hezbollah while the UN and the rest of the world just stand by and watch a nation diminish.

I agree with you BT. The Palestinians are certainly Billy no mates and so theirs is a David versus Goliath struggle.

Vince Cable has announced that he is stepping down as Lib Dem leader in May and one of the front runners is Layla Moran - of Palestinian descent.

I will be supporting her if she does throw her hat in the ring and it can only help the Palestinian cause if she becomes leader.

How will she help the Palestinian cause 59 ? Will she encourage more indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel, intended purely to provoke the Israelis to rain down yet more death and destruction on innocent Palestinian children ? Or will she be encouraging them to cease their provocation of Israel and demand the US, the UK, France, Russia and the UN start seriously banging heads together and get some form of negotiations under way.

I would hope it's the latter, because that is the only way this will ever be resolved.

It will certainly be the latter Sinkov.

She has actually been very vocal about antisemitism and wants an end to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

But she wants the situation of the Palestinians highlighted more than it is and for there to be a peaceful resolution.

Alf, to say that no one is looking after the Israelis is nonsense. Remember, they are a nuclear power and have one of the most powerful armed forces on the planet. They get unconditional support from the USA and others.

The Palestinians are constantly having their land nicked and can only offer token resistance. Like I said, David versus Goliath.

Here are some of her thoughts.

Oh! so thats why ? '' I spent about 6 years from 1968-74 looking for just ''birds'' in Burnley and everything seemed to click,with my ......, so easy it was !!!


'' Steal their land?'' They were mostly nomads that just wondered to open places and settled there. If they have documents then that stand up in court,but if not ??Just by saying ''its mine!'' Israel BUYS land some will sell but if they do ,next day 6 foot under the earth the next day?

A Palestinian man killed in an Arab Israeli town over the weekend was involved in the sale of West Bank land to Jews, Palestinian media reported Saturday. Ahmed Salama, a resident of Jaljulia in central Israel, was shot Friday near his home and later pronounced dead at Meir Hospital in nearby Kfar Saba. Police have opened an investigation into the shooting.

....'' deny them just about every essential utility ''

The Oslo Accords, signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel, created administrative districts with varying levels of Palestinian autonomy within each area. Area C, in which Israel maintained complete civil and security control, accounts for over 60% of the territory of the West Bank.

.......'' while the UN and the rest of the world just stand by and watch''. What can the UN do ? Just ''we condemn'',otherwise they are just chocolate soldiers.Then the UN has a block of about 50 plus nations connected with Islam.
Then the tunnels hezbullah were building to wards Israel , how come the UN did not know about them ,plus how can Hezbullah have built up about 160k rockets.The UN patrol Lebanon!!! They are completly useless!

59-60:
.... The Palestinians are certainly Billy no mates and so theirs is a David versus Goliath struggle.

Hamas in the the Gaza Strip is a proxy of Iran. The rockets fired last night were Fajr Iranian rockets.They are supported by Hezbullah and the Republican Guard of Iran.The Gaza Strip has the potential to be a paradise strip,luxury hotels ,beaches,etc ,but then how could they get your donations?? If J C is in government as a leader. he certainly will donate to them.

You have to know why they want to liberalize Palestine ,its to unite with the Arab collective, the Arab ''Ummah'' . From Marroco to Pakistan.-To be totally Islamic! Then Europe too.

[Balanbam00]

Know Islam!!!!

....She has actually been very vocal about antisemitism and wants an end to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

She can not end it ,nobody can what did Blair do ,just fill his moneybags and the result - nada, nothing!You must know they do not want dialog.

There should be no controversy over the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The Muslim Brotherhood is in fact the forerunner of all Sunni Jihadist organizations.

Moreover, the Muslim Brotherhood has been directly involved in Jihadist terrorism. It was the Muslim Brotherhood that formed HAMAS (an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement”), the Jihadist terrorist organization that seeks to replace Israel with an Islamic state ruled by sharia. Here are some key passages from the HAMAS charter:

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”

The HAMAS charter also directly ties HAMAS to the Muslim Brotherhood:

“The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times. It is characterised by its deep understanding, accurate comprehension and its complete embrace of all Islamic concepts of all aspects of life, culture, creed, politics, economics, education, society, justice and judgement, the spreading of Islam, education, art, information, science of the occult and conversion to Islam.”

Wake up smell the coffee ''“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.” So who is the next idiot to take on this task??

Selling land to Jews:

The man, a 55-year-old resident of Bethlehem who had worked for the PA Ministry for Local Government, reportedly received a $25,000 commision for facilitating the sale of the property owned by an Arab widow.

Based on Jordanian law, selling or renting land to Jews is considered treason under the Palestinian Authority and is punishable by death or hard labor. While Palestinian law does not apply in East Jerusalem, a 2014 Jerusalem Post article cited Bassem Eid, a Jerusalem-based Palestinian civil rights activist, as claiming he has followed cases of Jerusalemites kidnapped in the city and tortured to death in Ramallah by the Palestinian Authority’s Preventive Security Agency.
