The Palestine thread

[give her dixie]

Just wondering did anyone in Gaza ever write a similar article about Palestinian bombers blowing up women and children on a bus. Would that make all Palestinians cowards by the logic of the article? I'm sure you'd agree the people who put the bomb on the bus are despicable cowards just like I agree those Israeli soldiers are too. Ive a funny feeling though that seafood and give her dicks are not capable of seeing it from both sides.

Itchy, the very least you could do is stop been a smart ass by referring to me as "Give her dicks".

You deserve it. You're a hypocrite. So is Seafood.

Well, I care about Palestine, and so do many others. If you care about Congo, Rwanda, Syria, Burundai, Sudan, CAR, Iraq, Somalia, North Korea or wherever, then start a thread and tell us all about it and how much you care and what you are doing to help their plight.

No you don't. It has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are driven more by hatred of jews and than any real concern for Palestine. If you truly cared about Palestine you would attempt some semblance of balance. You never have and you never will.

Ah that's all right Muppet. I'm sure its not gone unnoticed that the two boys have refused to address the central point of my last post. Not for the first time too. Israeli murder = bad, Palestinian murder = justified.

It's very like Ulster  history. Crowd of religious blows in colonise the place, claiming a special relationship with God. They send the locals to the hills, take the plains and claim moral superiority. Run an apartheid system and expect it to last forever.

My God can you not see the injustice of it all and why people would care,children being injured and killed on a daily basis and denied the basics for good health care and nutrition.An oppressed people being strangled by a race of people who should know better having been at the brunt of one of the biggest crimes against mankind.Sixty years of continual slaughter and you wonder why people care.

How about you tell us something that is important to you, something that involves life or death.

And then we can watch when someone like you shits on it.

Plenty of life and death matters in our own country to worry about.

Can you answer why Palestine is put on a pedestal above far worse cases of life and death in the world by people like you?
Their are many other countries that are suffering from Corrupt regimes,war,starvation and  killing at a rate that greatly exceeds palestine.

Palestinian unity government of Fatah and Hamas sworn in


After seven years of a bitter and at times lethal rivalry between the two main Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, a historic Palestinian unity government has been sworn in, ending years of division.

The signing ceremony, which seems likely to complicate relations with the Palestinian Authority's international aid donors in Europe and the US and increase tensions with Israel, was broadcast live in both Gaza and the West Bank.

The US indicated over the weekend that it would wait to see the policies of the new unity government before deciding whether to recognise it, because of Hamas's involvement.

Before the ceremony the US secretary of state, John Kerry, telephoned the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to express "concern about Hamas's role in any such government," the state department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, told reporters.

Israel, which suspended peace negotiations in April when a surprise reconciliation deal was signed, opening the way to the appointment of the new government, has threatened punitive sanctions against any government backed by Hamas, saying it would serve as a front for the group and "strengthen terrorism".

Abbas, who heads the mainstream Fatah movement, has said the 17-member cabinet would comprise unaffiliated ministers and would strive to pursue peace, despite Hamas's refusal to accept co-existence with Israel.

"Today, and after announcing the government of national unity, we declare the end of division that caused catastrophic harm to our cause," Abbas said.

The announcement of the new government, ending a long and debilitating political and territorial division in Palestinian affairs, opens the way for long-delayed Palestinian elections, slated for 2015.

The ceremony took place just hours after Israeli jets struck the site of what they said were two rocket launches from Gaza.

The new government will reunite Gaza and the West Bank under a single political authority for the first time since 2007, when Hamas – which won Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 – asserted control over the Gaza Strip, forcing out Fatah.

Since then the West Bank has been governed by Abbas and Fatah and Gaza by Hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist group in many capitals.

The swearing-in ceremony in the West Bank city of Ramallah came as the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, appealed to the international community not to rush into recognising the new government, largely made up of technocrats.

Again on Monday, Netanyahu hit out at European governments for condemning a shooting attack on the Jewish museum in Brussels but responding with "ambiguity" to reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas.

"It is puzzling to me that governments in Europe that strongly criticise this act of murder speak with ambiguity and even friendliness about a unity government with Hamas, a terror organisation that carries out crimes like these," he said.

Israel's security cabinet met overnight to discuss the new government, reconfirming an April decision to halt negotiations with any government backed by Hamas, newspapers reported on Monday.

In a sign of the potential difficulties ahead, Israel refused three Gaza-based ministers permission to travel to the West Bank for the swearing-in.

The ceremony took place after several last-minute wrangles that threatened to delay the signing, including over who would be foreign minister and an attempt by Abbas to abolish the post of prisoners' minister, which was opposed by Hamas.

That dispute was resolved after it was agreed that the prisoners would remain within the government portfolio and would be held by prime minister Rami Hamdallah.

According to a draft obtained by AFP, the new government will have 17 ministers, five of them from Gaza, and will be headed by Hamdallah, the current prime minister in the West Bank, who will also hold the interior portfolio.

Abbas has already pledged that the new administration will abide by the principles laid down by the Middle East peace quartet in that it will recognise Israel, reject violence and abide by all existing agreements.

Briefing reporters a few hours before the signing ceremony, Israel's intelligence minister, Yuval Steinlitz, a close ally of Netanyahu, insisted that the deal reasserting the Palestinian Authority's governance over Gaza placed an obligation on Abbas to demilitarise the coastal strip as part of the Oslo peace agreement.

Israel claims that factions in Gaza have up to 12,000 missiles and rockets under their control. "Enough of these tricks," Netanyahu said. "If this new Palestinian government has regained sovereignty over Gaza the first thing that Abbas should do is announce he is starting demilitarisation of Gaza."

[/quote]It's sad to see supporters of Israel engaging in arguments like that. Take the idea to its logical conclusion. Why does anyone bother remembering the Holocaust. Shur wasn't Genghis Khan far worse.
