Life in Palestine Imposed by Israel

Palestine, limiting it EVEN MORE in the SUMMER! IN THE SUMMER! Wow! Israel is so kind. NOT!

The Palestinians are fed up with the past and ongoing present treatment they receive from Israel, and most of them now support Hamas because of it.

That's what ISIS is doing to Christians in addition - to destroying their churches. nm

such as Israel that the U.S. supports more heavily than anyone in the world. So, by extension, the U.S. is condoning starving and denying basic supplies such as water to a population which is pretty clearly not in control of a terrorist group that is fighting "for their benefit."

So ISIS, in another country is doing something, so it is okay to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

Hamas began this latest terror by firing their rockets into Israel. Israel has a right to defend herself against a terrorist organization, i.e., Hamas. Even Egypt agrees. Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinian people. When are you going to realize the truth?

In a probable futile attempt to educate you both, please see below:

"The truth about Israel's secret nuclear arsenal"

Israel has been stealing nuclear secrets and covertly making bombs since the 1950s. And western governments, including Britain and the US, turn a blind eye. But how can we expect Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions if the Israelis won't come clean?

Deep beneath desert sands, an embattled Middle Eastern state has built a covert nuclear bomb, using technology and materials provided by friendly powers or stolen by a clandestine network of agents. It is the stuff of pulp thrillers and the sort of narrative often used to characterise the worst fears about the Iranian nuclear programme. In reality, though, neither US nor British intelligence
believe Tehran has decided to build a bomb, and Iran's atomic projects are under constant international monitoring.

The exotic tale of the bomb hidden in the desert is a true story, though. It's just one that applies to another country. In an extraordinary feat of subterfuge, Israel managed to assemble an entire
underground nuclear arsenal Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½ now estimated at 80 warheads, on a par with India and Pakistan Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½ and even tested a bomb nearly half a century ago, with a minimum of international outcry or even much public awareness of what it was doing.

Despite the fact that the Israel's nuclear programme has been an open secret since a disgruntled technician, Mordechai Vanunu, blew the whistle on it in 1986, the official Israeli position is still
never to confirm or deny its existence.

When the former speaker of the Knesset, Avraham Burg, broke the taboo last month, declaring Israeli possession of both nuclear and chemical weapons and describing the official non-disclosure policy as "outdated and childish" a rightwing group formally called for a police investigation for treason.

Meanwhile, western governments have played along with the policy of "opacity" by avoiding all mention of the issue. In 2009, when a veteran Washington reporter, Helen Thomas, asked Barack Obama in the first month of his presidency if he knew of any country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons, he dodged the trapdoor by saying only that he did not wish to "speculate".

UK governments have generally followed suit. Asked in the House of Lords in November about Israeli nuclear weapons, Baroness Warsi answered tangentially. "Israel has not declared a nuclear weapons programme. We have regular discussions with the government of Israel on a range of nuclear-related issues," the minister said. "The government of Israel is in no doubt as to our views. We encourage Israel to become a state party to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
[NPT]."

But through the cracks in this stone wall, more and more details continue to emerge of how Israel built its nuclear weapons from smuggled parts and pilfered technology.

The tale serves as a historical counterpoint to today's drawn-out struggle over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The parallels are not exact Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½Ã¢ï¿½ï¿½ Israel, unlike Iran, never signed up to the 1968 NPT so could not violate it. But it almost certainly broke a treaty banning nuclear tests, as well as countless national and international laws restricting the traffic in nuclear materials and technology.

The list of nations that secretly sold Israel the material and expertise to make nuclear warheads, or who turned a blind eye to its theft, include today's staunchest campaigners against
proliferation: the US, France, Germany, Britain and even Norway.

Meanwhile, Israeli agents charged with buying fissile material and state-of-the-art technology found their way into some of the most sensitive industrial establishments in the world. This daring and remarkably successful spy ring, known as Lakam, the Hebrew acronym for the innocuous-sounding Science Liaison Bureau, included such colourful figures as Arnon Milchan, a billionaire Hollywood producer behind such hits as Pretty Woman, LA Confidential and 12 Years a Slave, who finally admitted his role last month.

"Do you know what it's like to be a twentysomething-year-old kid [and] his country lets him be James Bond? Wow! The action! That was exciting," he said in an Israeli documentary.

Milchan's life story is colourful, and unlikely enough to be the subject of one of the blockbusters he bankrolls. In the documentary, Robert de Niro recalls discussing Milchan's role in the illicit
purchase of nuclear-warhead triggers. "At some point I was asking something about that, being friends, but not in an accusatory way. I just wanted to know," De Niro says. "And he said: yeah I did that. Israel's my country."

Milchan was not shy about using Hollywood connections to help his shadowy second career. At one point, he admits in the documentary, he used the lure of a visit to actor Richard Dreyfuss's home to get a top US nuclear scientist, Arthur Biehl, to join the board of one of his companies.

According to Milchan's biography, by Israeli journalists Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman, he was recruited in 1965 by Israel's current president, Shimon Peres, who he met in a Tel Aviv nightclub
(called Mandy's, named after the hostess and owner's wife Mandy Rice-Davies, freshly notorious for her role in the Profumo sex scandal). Milchan, who then ran the family fertiliser company, never looked back, playing a central role in Israel's clandestine acquisition programme.

He was responsible for securing vital uranium-enrichment technology, photographing centrifuge blueprints that a German executive had been bribed into temporarily "mislaying" in his kitchen.

I think I'm having computer issues. I tried to link it 3 times. Anyway, I hope Israel does have a bomb in addition to nuclear power. I knew their position was always never to confirm or deny. That is why I would never assume that to mean they had nuclear weapons. It remains unanswered in my view. Until it is acknowledged by them and other governments, I stand by my statement that there is no proof, yet.

[ In Reply To ..]
Hamas has made it well known they want to blow Israel off the face of the earth and they don't have the right to protect themselves. Do you honsestly believe they will stop there? They hate America also. You know they are already here just waiting for them to gain strength and then that war will be here. We, as a country, and our government need to back Israel because they are a democratic country. That is what Hamas is trying to destroy. You should watch the interview with the son of one of the founders of Hamas last night. He said Hamas was built on hate and nothing more. Hate for anyone different than their beliefs. Is that what you want for our country. To be told what to believe and live in fear and be killed if you don't believe their belief.

This may be on the other side of the world right now but it is all over, in Syria, Israel. If our president does nothing but talk democracy all over the world is at risk. He is by far the weakest president I have ever seen. I am even starting to wonder if he is not laying down the ground work for Hamas himself to infiltrate into this country and cause havoc.

Excerpt from above link

Yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization. But — unlike Israel — Hamas is not a democratically elected government, and does not represent the people of Palestine. As a home to persecuted Jewish people from around the world, and an ally of the United States, the world should hold Israel to higher standards.

And for those who claim those who sympathize with the people of Palestine are antisemitic Israel-haters who conveniently ignore the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization, read this article by Omar Baddar from Salon: “Debunking the myths about Gaza: The truth behind Israeli and Palestinian talking points.”

Or, if you’re short on time, here’s a summary:

Israel claimed they escalated the conflict because three Israeli teens were kidnapped and killed on the West bank. But Israel’s supporters conveniently ignore the fact that they killed a Palestinian man and 10-year-old child with an air strike the day before. Oh, and then there was that incident a few weeks before where Israeli soldiers murdered a group of unarmed teenagers — and got caught on video while doing it.

Oh, and what about Israel’s system of de-facto apartheid, and all those illegal Israeli settlements that that blatantly violate international law, not that the United Nation will actually do anything about it. And that recording with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talking about manipulating the U.S. and deliberately scuttling peace process mandated by the Oslo Accords.

[ In Reply To ..]
The U.N. had widespread acceptance at the time of the mandate. That was then, this is now.

What this U.N. Human Rights Commissioner might be referring to is a strict law interpretation - If Israel claims Gaza as their own, then the Gazans are due the same protection as Israelis. If Israel recognized Gaza as the Palestinian State and thus their own country then they would not owe them protection? I think the below link is interesting also.

Should they band together and take over Hamas (virtually impossible). They can back Abbas who doesn't have much strength. It seems the gist of this is that a return to the former locked down Gaza strip is not acceptable either. I don't think the average Palestinian "supports" Hamas, but they don't have the strength to defy them, nor are they certain things will be any better if they do.

Well, if we fund the Iron Dome for Israel, - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
we should do the same thing for Palestine!

That will certainly stop SOME of the violence.

Instead, we're paying even more (right now) to spruce up Israel's Iron Dome.

But Israel has literally mowed down EVERYTHING -- homes, killed thousands of civilians, and Israel's loss is under 100 people. It's certainly NOT proportional, and Israel comes out looking like the bully they are!
