Warning!
This video of an Israeli Massacre of Palestinian & Lebanese civilians in April of 96 is very graphic and should only be viewed by a mature audience. |

The Independent 5 June 96 Qana: It is a soldier's videotape, recorded -- at the start at least -- as just another incident to remember back home by a United Nations trooper after his six months' tour of duty in southern Lebanon are over.
Indeed, when the camera first records the Israeli shells tearing into the UN base at Qana, the other soldiers who appear in the film, most of them Norwegians in the UN's Force Mobile Reserve opposite Qana, seem unaware of its implications. One of them makes a joke, another looks gawkily into the camera even as it tapes the clouds of smoke obscuring Qana. The camera pans through barbed wire as more brown puffs of smoke emerge from the white-painted buildings of the UN's Fijian battalion headquarters. |

25 Feb 06 JERUSALEM -- Palestinian Prime Minister designate Ismail Haniyeh said on Saturday Hamas is \"ready to recognise\" Israel if it gives the Palestinians their full rights and a state on lands occupied since 1967, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
\"If Israel declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state and give them back all their rights, then we are ready to recognise them,\" Haniyeh told the Washington Post in an interview posted on its web site. Haniyeh did not say which form the recognition would take. |

26 Feb 06 GAZA -- The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Sunday accused The Washington Post of misinterpreting statements made by Hamas leader Ismael Haneya, who is tasked with forming the next cabinet.
Hamas spokesman in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC)Salah al-Bardaweil denied that Haneya had told the Post that Hamas could recognize Israel under a future deal on condition that Israel withdraws to the pre-1967 borders. Haneya didn\'t say that Hamas would recognize the state of Israel as it was reported by the Post, the spokesman said, adding that \"we have the recorded interview and it doesn\'t include any of the statements published by the daily.\" Haneya told the Post that if Israel withdraws to the pre-1967 borders, allows the refugees to return to the Palestinian territories and releases Palestinian prisoners, then the issue will be discussed, al-Bardaweil said. The spokesman asserted that Hamas is still keeping its positions and will never recognize Israel\'s occupation and abandon the Palestinian national struggle. |

26 Feb 06 GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- The Palestinians\' incoming prime
minister says Hamas is interested in a long-term truce with Israel. But, he says, it has no intention of seeking a formal peace agreement that would recognize the Jewish state. Ismail Haniyeh -- the incoming Palestinian premier -- denies a Washington Post report saying Hamas would consider peace with Israel under certain conditions. Haniyeh told reporters his comments had been misunderstood. He said he was not referring to a peace agreement, only a \"political truce.\'\' Israel and the U.S. consider Hamas, the winner of January\'s Palestinian elections, a terror group. Hamas does not recognize the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East and has sent dozens of suicide bombers into Israel, killing hundreds. Copyright 2006 Associated Press, |

ICH 27 Feb 06 Bush and his money can go to hell. The Palestinian people will not give up their homeland and their rights for a monetary bribe from its tormentors. We will not give up our inalienable right to freedom and justice in return for some financial inducements. A free woman would rather starve to death rather than sell her body to an evil blackmailer. And America and Israel are the evil blackmailers of our times.

Ha'aretz 27 Feb 06 The State of Israel is the strongest state in the region - militarily, economically, scientifically and culturally. It enjoys broad support from the United States and European countries. It has peaceful relations with Egypt and Jordan. We could even have built a peace arrangement with Lebanon and Syria, if we had wanted to, but certainly no threat is hovering over Israel from that direction.
But Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening us that they will throw us into the sea. Who? The Palestinians? Let's say they want to - can they? Netanyahu and his supporters on the right and the extreme right need to scare us so that they can continue eating away at the Palestinians' lands, just as long as everything is ours. This is the right and its doctrine. Comment: Of course these other states are no threat to Israel. Israel just wants the excuse to commit genocide and grab more land, and they know that if they do, these other countries just MIGHT band together against them...
