The Truth Will Set You Free
17/11/2006 Notwithstanding their preposterous excuses, everyone knows that israel committed a war crime when it killed 18 Palestinians as they slept in their homes in Beit Hanun, last week.
But, virtually unreported in the mainstream media was the historical, religious, and military significance of the other war crime israel committed that day . . . "In a statement to the U.N. Observer website, the imam of the An-Nasr Mosque in Beit Hanun, Sheikh Sihda Abu Zreyk said that the mosque, which was established in 1240, was completely destroyed during the Israeli operation.Of course, israel will claim that it was a technical error, just like they do every other crime. But, besides their track record for lying, NO ONE - especially, not israelis - CAN MISTAKE THE COORDINATES OF AN 800YR OLD RELIGIOUS LANDMARK. It is crystal clear to me that destroying the ancient mosque was israel's PRIMARY MILITARY OBJECTIVE and that the loss of Palestinian lives was just a fringe benefit for them. The mosque was strategically important in at least two ways. (1) Just days before being destroyed, it had provided sanctuary for Palestinian men fleeing from israeli assault, and israelis wanted it gone; "By late Thursday the Israeli army believed dozens of armed gunmen were in the 700-year-old Nasser mosque in the town centre. Tanks surrounded the building and loudspeakers broadcast messages for the gunmen to surrender."and (2) from a political and religious perspective, its destruction brings Zionism one step closer to their obsession with a 'promised land' - free from any trace of Islam. And what better place to start than the mosque built just after the Muslim victory over invading Crusaders? If ANYONE out there still believes that israel is, in any way, shape, or form, 'defending its security' - you can WAKEUP NOW. israel is leading what can only be described as Zionism's own un-holy war against Islam. israel doesn't want peace - it wants a land without people for a people without land, and it's prepared to destroy everyone and everything in order to make it. |

Tuesday, November 21, 2006 The United Nations's high commisioner for human rights described Gaza on Monday as suffering "massive" human rights violations and urged all sides to be aggressive in trying to end the violence.
In a brief visit to Beit Hanun, Louise Arbour listened to local residents' accounts of this month's Israeli offensive in the area, where one shelling killed 19 civilians earlier this month. "The violation of human rights I think in this territory is massive," said Arbour, who met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on her visit. Comment: The lone death at the Israeli occupier's town of Sderot is continually set in opposition to the massacre at Beit Hanoun, as if the occasional rocket fired from the Palestinians, more symbolic than anything else, can compare with the occupation suffered by the Palestinians. The Israeli military is backed by the US. Guns and money are no problem. We aren't talking about Gavid vs Goliath here, we're talking David against 10,000 Goliaths, and yet the media, and representatives of International Order such as Ms Arbour, paint the scene as if the two sides are evenly matched.

DAMASCUS, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Visiting special envoy of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said here on Monday that the formation of the Palestinian unity government would be declared soon.
Comment: The Palestinians freely and democratically elected a Hamas government in January of this year. The US and Israel, with its henchmen in Europe, immediately set up a blockade on Palestine in response to the march of democracy they claimed to be promoting. Of course, everyone knows that voting is good when it is controlled and elects the 'right' candidates, but that it is anarchy and terrorism when the people are misled.
Unfortunately, the thinking capacity and critical faculties of much of the public in the West, especially in the US, have been dulled with massive doses of Hollywood movies and Fox TV, not to mention fast food and poor education, so the abject cyncism of ziocon discourse went over their heads. |

The prominent anti-Syrian Christian politician Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in a suburb of Beirut today, his Phalange Party Voice of Lebanon radio station reported.
His fatal shooting will certainly heighten the political tension in Lebanon, where the leading Muslim Shiite party Hezbollah has threatened to topple the government if he does not get a bigger say in Cabinet decision making. Comment from the Angry Arab News Service:
It is only fair that I say a word about the Lebanese Gemayyel family. No one family in Lebanon has made more contributions to the formulation of a Lebanese version of fascism than this family. Really. In this respect, one has to note that Pierre Gemayyel (the grandfather), and his son Bashir has made great efforts (with the help of Israel) to create a fascist movement for Lebanon modeled after the Nazi party. (As you may recall--search the archives below--Pierre Gemayyel (the grandfather of the assassinated minister--created the Phalanges Party after being impressed with the Nazi party when he observed it during the Olympic games of 1936.) The grandson, Pierre, had no influence in Lebanese politics, and his party, the Phalanges, has become marginal and insignificant. In fact, he was brought into the cabinet by the Harriri dynasty because they were trying to avoid appointing ministers who have bigger standing among Lebanese Christians (like the 'Awn movement).See this Signs of the Times article for an exposé of the fact that Mossad are the principal political assassins in Lebanon. |

Two Italian aid workers have reportedly been abducted in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian officials said the two were Red Cross staff and were captured in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. Meanwhile 11 Palestinians have been wounded following an Israeli air strike in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, the scene of a recent Israeli artillery shelling which killed 19 Palestinian civilians. The army says the town is used by militants to launch rocket attacks on Israeli targets.
