Gaza militants agree to halt rocket fire against Israel

Its pretty simple, the Israelis say...

"We seek no confrontation with the Palestinians and do not want to inflame the situation, but we will not absorb shelling after shelling without a response," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Saturday, threatening unspecified "consequences".

And jackass's like Islamic Jihad, and Hamas say that Israel needs to stop the aggregation against Palestine...

Same old shit different day, Islamic Jihad and Hamas will continue this type of BS forever, it is their way, their life. killing them certainly helps, but for those that die more are born, so the stupidity of these Dicknoids will continue.


HAARETZ
An Egyptian-brokered truce appeared to be taking hold on Sunday after a weekend of escalating violence between Israel and militants in the Gaza left nine Palestinian gunmen and an Israeli civilian dead.

Three rockets were fired at Israel after the 6 A.M. starting time for the truce, the Israeli military said. Two were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile shield and another struck the south, causing no casualties or damage.

But the area fell quiet shortly after those attacks and by the afternoon no new violence was reported.

UN Finds Israel’s Gaza-Flotilla Interception Legal, Used Excessive Force

Israel was fully within their right to board the Flotilla last year but used excessive force when they started to defend themselves from the savages on board who wanted to kill them first.

Isn't this the way it always goes.

Bloomberg
Israel’s effort last year to stop a flotilla of ships from reaching the Gaza Strip was legal, though the way it was carried out was “excessive and unreasonable,” the United Nations said in a report.

“Israel’s decision to board the vessels with such substantial force at a great distance from the blockade zone and with no final warning immediately prior to the boarding was excessive and unreasonable,” according to the 105-page report obtained by the New York Times and posted on its website. The UN said Israel’s naval blockade was legal, so “it follows that Israel was also entitled to enforce it.”

The Israeli raid on May 31, 2010, on vessels attempting to breach the blockade of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip left nine Turkish citizens dead, generated international criticism and prompted Turkey to suspend diplomatic and security cooperation. Turkey was once Israel’s closest ally in the region.

The release of the report, which has been held back, may do little to heal relations between nations. Turkey’s position is that both the Israeli maritime blockade of Gaza and the attack on the aid flotilla were unlawful.

Both countries were rebuked in the investigation.

Islamic Jihad announces new Gaza ceasefire agreement

According to Islamic Jihad, a small terrorist group with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood,

Isn't that the group that the Obamasiah admin said was not a terrorist group?


The Jerusalem post
The Islamic Jihad organization announced a new ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip early Friday morning.

According to sources in Gaza the ceasefire was brokered by Egypt and the UN.

The ceasefire has already begun, according to Israel Radio.

Nafaz Azam, one of the organization's leaders in the Gaza Strip, made the statement, which was unexpected, as earlier Thursday the terrorist group had vowed to extend the range of their rocket capabilities, sending projectiles deeper into Israeli territory.

According to Islamic Jihad, a small terrorist group with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, it would triple the number of Israelis affected by rocket attacks.

This announcement came as the South braced for a weekend of violence as rocket fire intensified on Thursday and the IDF struck back, killing two terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

At least 15 rockets and mortar shells pounded southern Israel, hitting open areas near Ashkelon and in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. A mortar shell struck the Erez crossing, which is frequently used by Palestinians to enter Israel for medical treatments, causing extensive damage.

No more Israeli apologies ( Or why the U.N. is a bunch of Useless Nitwits )

The Egyptians, without even a shred of corroborating evidence, rushed to blame the IDF – rather than lunatic Islamic fanatics - for the death of Egyptian soldiers.

this is old news, because this happens all the time; Israel gets attacked they retaliate in kind and the world blames Israel !

Confusing to say the least, but it happens.

It is rare that you find the actual perpetrators ( Islamic Nutjobs ) of the attacks, condemned anywhere in the media.


Ynet

While rockets were falling on Israeli towns and innocent Jewish blood was being spilled, an odd debate raged on in the UN Security Council: whether to issue a condemnation of the recent terror attacks perpetrated against innocent Israeli civilians, including children. Amazingly enough, a current member of the Security Council – Lebanon – prevented the condemnation from coming to fruition.

The Lebanese demanded a toned down, more “balanced” denunciation that includes criticism of Israeli retaliatory strikes in Gaza. It did not matter that the IDF responded by attacking legitimate targets – leaders of the terror group that executed the attacks, weapons compounds, smuggling tunnels and rocket and mortar cells aiming to kill Jews indiscriminately. No condemnation was issued, and no one blinked an eye.

The Arab League also announced an emergency session over Israeli retaliation in the Strip. Apparently, the death of some murderers was a more pressing affair than the thousands of casualties in Syria, ongoing riots in Yemen, and the civil war in Libya.

The Palestinian Authority, as usual, issued a lackadaisical rebuke of the loss of innocent life, while focusing on punitive anti-Israel censure. This leadership is expected to lead a Palestinian statehood bid in September, despite the absence of even a semblance of government unity, adequate control over terror groups, undefined borders, massive corruption and economic mismanagement. Still, the world doesn’t seem to mind too much.

A" Mysterious" Explosion ?


Mysterious my ass, the dumbass was building some kind of bomb and sploded himself up while doing it.
This is where I encourage all young Gazan males to join the workforce for Hamas or whatever militant rejects they choose to represent, stay uneducated people you get yourselves real far !



The Daily Star
A member of Hamas' armed wing was killed Thursday in a "mysterious explosion" in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, the group and Palestinian medical sources said.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades announced the death in a statement, naming the militant as 20-year-old Ali Nayef al-Haj.

"Ali Nayef al-Haj of Yebna refugee camp was martyred on Thursday in an accidental internal explosion," the group said.

The group gave no additional details, but it also made no accusations that Israel was involved in the death.

Adham Abu Selmiya, a spokesman for the Hamas-run medical services in the Gaza Strip, said only that "a citizen was killed in a mysterious explosion," adding that the man's body arrived at the Abu Yusef al-Najjar hospital "in tatters."

Militants in the Gaza Strip have regularly been injured or even killed while handling explosive materials.

Airlines fully booked, unable to return activists who were refused entry

Hilarious at the very least.

They have been blocked from leaving port in Greece, some even arrested.
They were allowed to fly into Israel, but are now blocked from leaving.

It serves them right, terrorist supporters should be treated like this, they should never be given a platform to spout their rhetoric.


Haaretz.com
The foreign airlines operating in Israel say they will have a hard time flying large groups of people who were refused entry into the country back to their destinations of origin.

A senior official for one of the large European carriers told Haaretz on Saturday that "The airlines will have a hard time dealing all at once with large groups of pro-Palestinian activists that Israel wants to deport."

"We're talking about the peak of summer traveling season and the flights are full. We'll have to act accordingly and make different preparations, but first of all, we'll have to receive instructions from the head of the aviation authority in Israel for the deportation of the activists," he said.

"At present, we are unprepared to deal with this, in terms of human resources and in terms of amount of planes," the official added.

The authorities are expected to deport more than 100 pro-Palestinian activists that landed at Ben Gurion airport in the past few days. The last group of 35 activists landed on Friday just before midnight on a Lufthansa flight from Farnkfurt, and were transferred to a police detention facility.

Gaza City produces map highlighting local 'must sees'

I can't wait, Now that gaza haza map, I can put it on my list of shitholes of the world I have yet to visit! It's right up there with pakistan, somalia, assghanistan, yemen, Pretty much any Muslim Country!

Do they have a Hamas guided Bus tour? They could tour all the Martirdum sites, and possibly the Qassam rocket facilities, Oh Joy.


The Jerusalem Post

Blockaded by Israel and Egypt, impoverished and subject to Islamic strictures, the Gaza Strip isn’t on the itinerary of most of the world’s tourists, but thahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift hasn’t deterred Gaza City from producing a map highlighting local "must sees."

The map, which debuted this week, is the brainchild of students and lecturers at the Geography Department of the city’s University College of Applied Sciences (UCAS). Besides documenting its archaeological and tourist sites, the map includes practical information such as hospitals and government buildings. Funded by the Bank of Palestine, the English-language map is handed out free of charge...

Shurrab said there are enough tourists in the city, and plenty more visiting political activists to justify creating the map. Until now, the only tool available for them to navigate the city was a printout from Google Maps, which he said isn’t detailed enough.

Greece puts halt to Gaza flotilla in a win for Israel

This is the funniest crap going on right now, all these idiots are talking about sabotage to their boats, playing trumpets everywhere, it is like a hippie gathering; I'm surprised they have not had a damn drum circle.

Good for Greece, good for Israel, good for the normal people of the world.
As for Gaza and the douchebag hippies from America... HA HA.

Christian Science Monitor
A boat carrying a contingent of US activists seeking to join a flotilla of protesters against Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip were turned back by armed Greek commandos about 30 miles out of Athens today, in a major blow to the group and an apparent diplomatic victory for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Recent posts.

The US boat was carrying about 50 Americans, among them Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker and 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein. As of the late evening in Greece, the boat was being detained at a Greek coastguard port.

Last year, a larger effort challenging the Gaza blockade ended in tragedy, when Israeli soldiers killed eight Turkish activists and one Turkish-American when they boarded the Mavi Marmara in international waters near Gaza. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent its Islamist rulers, Hamas, from getting weapons that could be used against Israel. Activists argue, however, that the blockade constitutes collective punishment and must be lifted altogether.

Last year's deaths were a political black eye for Israel, stirring global outrage and contributing to a chill in Israeli-Turkish relations. This year, Israel has been determined to head off the flotilla before it even takes to the sea. The Turkish Islamic charity IHH, which owns the Marmara, pulled out of this year's effort. Most activists believe that was due to pressure from the Turkish government, eager to get its relationship with Israel back on track.

Powerful explosion near UN office in Gaza City

Why anyone in Palestine would try to blow up the U.N. is beyond me, the U.N is one of the biggest pro Palestinian orgs in the World.

BBC
There has been a big explosion in Gaza City near a United Nations compound and Hamas offices.

The blast tore a 2m (6ft) hole through a wall surrounding the UN building.

A BBC reporter at the scene said the blast had been caused by an explosive device. There have been no reports of casualties.

Vittorio Arrigoni killing: Suspects die in Gaza siege

Ihab Ghussein, Hamas interior ministry spokesman, told the Associated Press news agency that one militant had thrown grenades at his comrades before shooting himself

Excellent.
Funny too, When you are in a fight you have to worry about your Comrades throwing Grenades at you and trying to take you out!
Good Salafist Soldiers.

BBC
Two suspects in the killing of Italian citizen Vittorio Arrigoni in Gaza have died during a siege by Hamas police, officials say.

A third suspect was injured and three of the suspects' associates were captured during the operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.

One of the two dead men may have committed suicide.

Mr Arrigoni, 36, was abducted last Thursday by Salafists and then hanged.

Hamas sealed off parts of the Gaza Strip before Tuesday's operation during which heavy gunfire and at least one explosion were heard.

Ihab Ghussein, Hamas interior ministry spokesman, told the Associated Press news agency that one militant had thrown grenades at his comrades before shooting himself

Hamas claims Israel killed Italian to stop Gaza flotilla

Of course it was Da Joooos!
who else in the heart of the Gaza strip would kidnap an Italian pro Palestinian
activist, demand that Hamas release members of an Al Qaida linked group (Tawhid wal-Jihad) then kill the poor bastard before the deadline they set?

Oh wait, Maybe it was not Da Jooos!

oh well Blame them anyways!


The Jerusalem post
Islamic terrorist groups disclaim kidnapping, murder of activist; al-Qaida-linked group had previously claimed responsibility, made ransom demands.

Radical Islamic terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip distanced themselves from the kidnapping and murder of Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni, who was found dead early Friday morning in the Strip.

Among the groups who disclaimed the attack was Tawhid wal-Jihad, the al-Qaida-linked group that had initially said it was holding the Italian national and conditioned said they would only release him if their own leader, recently arrested by Hamas, was released, Gaza-based newspaper Palestine Today reported.

Italian activist found dead in Gaza after abduction

Let's put this in perspective,
Mr Arrigoni was a palestinian activist, he was very much against Israel, He was on the side of the people of Palestine!

The Salafist murdering douchebags? they believe Hamas is a bunch of Mamby pamby little boys!

So what do you do for a country that kills people that are on their side? Oh, you push as hard as you can to grant them statehood!

All this really does is show how Muslims at their core really are, evil wretched savages!

BBC
An Italian pro-Palestinian activist has been found dead in the Hamas-governed Gaza Strip hours after being abducted.

Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, was seized on Thursday by a radical group that has been in conflict with Hamas and is seeking the release of its leader.

Police said he was found hanged in a Gaza City house after receiving a tip-off. Two people have been arrested.

Italy denounced the "barbaric murder", calling it an "act of vile and senseless violence".

Abbas says he is ready to meet Hamas in Gaza to end division

Back to the old ways of terrorism then eh?
If you thought it was a mess in the Gaza Strip now, wait till these idiots try and hold Elections!


The L.A. Times
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday declared a new initiative to end the division in the Palestinian ranks. He announced at a meeting in Ramallah of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Central Council that he is ready to travel “tomorrow” to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip to end the split.

"I am ready to go to Gaza tomorrow to end the division," Abbas said, "and form a government of independent nationalist figures to prepare for presidential and legislative elections, as well as elections for the Palestinian National Council [the PLO’s parliament-in-exile], within six months or as soon as possible.”

Abbas called on Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader who heads the government in Gaza and is a former prime minister whom Abbas had fired in 2007, to make the necessary arrangements with other factions in Gaza to meet him at the Erez crossing between Israel and Gaza. Abbas said he hopes the arrangements will be ready in the next few days.

Islamic Jihad rally draws many

Are you all as angry as I am ?
Not that this is happened, But because it is a Missed opportunity.



the Straights Times
GAZA CITY - TENS of thousands of Palestinians turned out for a rally in the Gaza Strip on Friday to mark the 23rd anniversary of the founding of the hardline militant group Islamic Jihad.

Crowds waving the movement's black banners filled Kuteiba Square in Gaza City, where senior officials were expected to speak beneath massive portraits of assassinated commanders, an AFP correspondent reported.

The armed group, which is smaller and more radical than the Islamist Hamas movement ruling the territory, carried out several suicide bombings inside Israel during the 2000-2005 Palestinian uprising.

In more recent years it was behind many of the near-daily rocket attacks fired from Gaza that prompted Israel to launch a devastating offensive against the territory in December 2008.

It has pointedly refused to take part in a Hamas-declared period of calm since the end of the offensive in January 2009. The 22-day Israeli operation killed some 1,400 Palestinians and flattened entire neighbourhoods of Gaza. Thirteen Israelis were killed in the fighting.

Both Islamic Jihad and Hamas are sworn to the destruction of Israel, but they sometimes differ on tactics

Obama's friend raising funds for new Gaza aid ship

Khalidi said the fact that the ship is American would bring attention to the Gaza issue, which had begun to have an impact on American public opinion.

Yes That's true , but not everybody is on the side of Palestine and the Gaza Strip !

If successful , Obama will have to take a stand , so this could soon show some true Colors of where the Administration sits .



Haaretz.com
WASHINGTON - A fundraising campaign is currently underway in the United States to finance the purchase of an American ship in an effort to break the Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza Strip in the early autumn. The ship is to be named after U.S. President Barack Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope."

If that isn't enough to stir the ghosts of the 2008 American presidential election, one of the prominent figures to support the initiative is Columbia University history professor Rashid Khalidi, a well-known critic of Israel whose friendship with the American president from their days together in Chicago engendered criticism of Obama.

An email being circulated by pro-Palestinian activists in the U.S. said the goal of the fundraising campaign is to raise at least $370,000 next month to obtain possession of a ship that could accommodate between 40 and 60 people and for operational expenses. The e-mail said the ship will join a flotilla of other vessels from Europe, Canada, India, South Africa and the Middle East in an additional attempt to break the Israeli naval blockade.

Libya aid ship moving again, heading to Egypt

O.K. so the Libyan "AID SHIP" did not tempt the port in Gaza , instead opting to dock in Egypt , if they are not hiding anything why did they not continue on to Gaza ?
Are they carrying stuff they should not be ?

Or is Israel that menacing ?


AP
JERUSALEM — A Libyan charity's aid ship, flanked by Israeli missile boats, was sailing in the direction of an Egyptian port on Wednesday, apparently deciding not to defy Israel's naval blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Egypt's state news agency MENA cited an unidentified security official as saying that Egyptian authorities and the Red Crescent medical service were "making preparations" to receive the Moldovan-flagged Almathea.

An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ship's course, confirmed that the vessel was headed in the direction of the Egyptian port of El-Arish.

With the vessel's organizers insisting the ship would go to Hamas-ruled Gaza and Israel insisting it would not, the potential for a showdown on the high seas had loomed large. Framing the faceoff was a deadly Israeli naval raid of another blockade-busting ship in May.

Iran to escort next 'aid' ships to Gaza

"Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces are prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenceless and oppressed people of Gaza with all their strength,"

Breaching a naval blockade is an act of war, anyone remember the Cuban missile crisis???

This could be the 'stunt' that Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, warned Iran would pull in order to pull attention away from their nuke program and upcoming sanctions. Guardian

Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza – a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel.

Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran of seeking to build a nuclear weapon and of backing Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza.

"Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces are prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenceless and oppressed people of Gaza with all their strength," pledged Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's personal representative to the guards corps.
