- DIVISIONS DEEP AT ARAB LEAGUE MEETING
December 31, 2008
CAIRO %u2014 Arab countries appeared deeply divided on Wednesday over how to respond to the latest escalation in fighting between Israel and Hamas, with sharply differing comments from foreign ministers at the opening of an emergency Arab League meeting here.
Moderate Arab states generally allied to the United States blamed Palestinian disunity for the crisis and more radical states, some of whom did not attend, urged collective action to defend the Palestinians against Israel.
In the most striking comments, Saudi Arabia%u2019s foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, criticized the Palestinians for their inability to remain united behind President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah %u2014 an implicit condemnation of Hamas, which took over Gaza entirely in 2007 in a brief but violent civil war with Fatah. Normally, during periods of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, Arab leaders only condemn Israel.
%u201CThis terrible massacre would not have happened if the Palestinian people were united behind one leadership, speaking in one voice,%u201D Prince Saud said at the league meeting%u2019s opening. - Reply to this comment

The Palestinian Popular Committees slammed on Thursday an Israeli occupation government decision to close the Ibrahimi Mosque (Mosque of the Patriarchs) in Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank, as the Muslims started the holy month of Ramadan....
.
..Azmi Shuyoukhy, secretary-general of the Committees...
Furthermore, Shuyoukhy slammed violations carried by members of Hamas who stored weapons in a mosque in Nablus city, in the northern part of the West Bank, the Committees reported.
Shuyoukhy said that mosques are holy places, meant to worshipping God, and are not meant to be storage rooms for weapons and combat tools.
According to the statement of the Committees, the weapons were found in a number of mosques in Nablus. The uncovered weapons included military uniforms, arms, ammunition, and leaflets issued by Hamas. - Reply to this comment
- # Palestinians use church as a fighting position
"About 300 Palestinians, nearly all of them armed, have been holed up in the shrine [Church of the Nativity, "built over the site where tradition says Jesus was born and one of Christianity''s major shrines"] since Tuesday..." [Ibrahim Hazboun, Associated Press writer, 4 April 2002]
The PLO tactic is obvious. Their gunmen shoot at the Israelis. If the Israelis return the fire, they will damage one of Christianity''s holiest shrines. - Reply to this comment
- The Zion machine decided to do all this on New years eve....let me just make sure people understand: this is all about NOT TALKING TO HAMMAS, ALL OF THIS IS SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO TALK....UNDERSTAND....TALK TO HAMMAS!!! IF KILLING ALL THESE PEOPLE ON NEW YEARS EVE, AND TORTURING THESE PEOPLE FOR SIX MONTHS BY CLOSING OFF THEIR BORDERS AND REFUSING TO RESUPPLY THEM JUSTIFIES WHAT THIS NATION HAS DONE, THEN THERE IS NO JUSTICE ON EARTH. THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE TRULY NOT ABLE TO LEAD. THIS OUR NATION IS TOO CORRUPT TO LEAD THIS WORLD...OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO CORRUPTED SO MISLEAD AND SO MISINFORMED THAT THEY REALLY CANT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG. THIS WAS ALL ABOUT THE ISRAELIS NOT HAVING TO TALK TO HAMMAS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR WHAT HAMMAS REALLY HAD TO SAY: THAT THEY WANTED THEIR HOMES AND THEIR COUNTRY BACK FROM THOSE WHO TOOK IT FROM THEM. THIS IS WHAT YOU PEOPLE WANT TO JUSTIFY? THIS IS THE NEW WORLD?

- The Israelites are under attack by Palestinian versions of the Nazi SS and Hitler who do not care a bit abut their own Palestinian brothers and sisters.
NO TERROR ROCKETS = NO BLOCKADE
TERROR ROCKETS = BLOCKADE
NO TERRORISM = NO "THE WALL"
TERRORISM = "THE WALL"
NO TERRORISM = GREAT LIFE OPPORTUNITIES
TERRORISM = DIISMAL LIFE OPPORTUNITIES
The math is very very simple.
Do the math instead of the hate. - Reply to this comment
- The Palestinians are reaping what they have sown.
I fell badly for the Palestinians that are opposed to terrorism.
Hopefully they will get out of there.
Re: "In Gaza, two Palestinian medics were killed and two others were wounded when an Israeli missile hit next to their ambulance east of Gaza City, Palestinians said."
Yet another ambulance carrying war materials by the cowardly HAMA terrorists.
Little girls, humanitarian aid ships, and ambulances none of these are sacred to the Palestinian terrorists.. - Reply to this comment

The Israeli Zionists might think twice about trying that one again.
They exposed themselves as heinous war criminals who target mainly civilians, AND they lost.
What a goofy bunch of impotent dopes! - Reply to this comment

- What did Hezbollah win? What has any adversary of Israel won in any war since 1967. Egypt and Jordan finally made peace with Israel and formally recognized their statehood. Today they sign trade agreements with Israel.

- The US should exercise "strategic patience" with Iran - who as of today has four navy bases in the Gulf, is building up its conventional arsenal, and is at most two years away from a nuke - Posted by nittygritty6

- The days of united Arab armies attacking Israel are over. Arab unity on the Palestinian issue is fractured beyond repair. Egype and Jordan now have exchanged diplomatic mission, they recognize Israel and are actually hostile to Hamas. The Saudis and other moderate governments want no part of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, or any of the other radical anti-Israel organizations.
As John F. Kennedy said, Israel was not created to fail. - Reply to this comment
- If you are a Hamas supporter I guess that makes you a Timothy McVeigh supporter.

- would Americans not fight for the land they live on? How can you expect anyone else in the world not to do the exact same. -- Posted by indianaman13
In 1847 the U.S. took 40% of Mexico. Mexico didn''t fire rockets into the U.S. and send suicide bombers to kill women and children. What Mexico did was develop trade with the U.S. and now are the #2 trading partner. It is an economic thing. Not murder and terrorism. Who profits from that? - Reply to this comment
- How can a people (Israel) who claim to be the chosen of GOD, act like Satan? How can they kill God''s Children, all in the name of reclaiming a City where Jesus walked once. Do you think He would condone the actions of his people, the jews, and how they kill for the most selfish of reasons. Those who are Godly create, Those who are for Satan kill and destroy. How can Israel break the commandments of their God, Thou shall not kill, so close to the mountain where Moses himself was given those 10 laws of God.

- Why were the British and French in Palestine during and after WW one? Why were the British and French governments doing the bidding of Jews across the world? Did the British and French not have other problems in dealing with those that started the First War? How would Americans like it today if the Native Americans took by force what we took from them? What if Mexico took back all the land we took from them? And if they did it with the worlds support, would Americans not fight for the land they live on? How can you expect anyone else in the world not to do the exact same.
