Palestinian Authority blames Gaza violence on Hamas (Extra)
Jan 19, 2008, 12:32 GMT
Ramallah - The Palestinian government in the West Bank on Saturday blamed the Islamic movement Hamas for the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
'The party which staged a coup against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and now rules Gaza is responsible for the condition of the Strip and the suffering of the Palestinian people there,' said Information Minister Riyadh al-Maliki, referring to Hamas' takeover of Gaza by force in June.
Israel closed Gaza Strip crossings and launched an aerial and ground offensive Tuesday in response to Hamas' resumption of rocket attacks against Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip. 37 Palestinians have been killed so far.
'Hamas is responsible for the Israeli madness and the massacres the (Israeli) army carries out everyday against our people in Gaza Strip,' al-Maliki said, adding that Israel also bear responsibility for the loss of life in the Strip.
Hamas, for its part, accused the United States of encouraging Israel to continue its military operations in Gaza Strip.
'The US administration is engaged in committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip,' said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoom, referring to US State Department spokesman who described the Israeli offensive as a legitimate self-defence.

The Hamasses shoot rockets into cities in Israel targeting innocent civilians. The Israelis attack the militants that are firing these rockets, killing several of these criminals. So the Abu Ali Mustafa brigades launch 10 more home-made rockets back at southern Israelie cities, saying these rocket attacks are in response to the Israeli army raids in Gaza Strip and West Bank.
First the Gaza strip and the West Bank are fundamentally split between The Hamas and The Fatah. The Fatah have declared the Hamas a criminal outlaw element. (Especially after the illegal coup this past summer). Where The Hamas killed hundreds of non Hamas Palestinians. The Fatah is now seeking peace, while The Hamas states that they will never accept peace until Israel is destroyed. Let me go on... The Hamas are isolated even by their own except for the most extreme elements such as Abu Ali Mustafa brigades. Which now say that they are firing rockets against Israel for 'all Palestinians'?? Oh Brother who invents these fantasies.
One additional thought. if these Hamas would put as much enerhy into building their economy as opposed to destroying and killing maybe they would be able to become an independant and respectected people. Right now I seem them as crimials that live on habd outs and only want to jill. How sad is that????
In all ways Israel is on the frontlines of the clash of civilizations between Islam and the rest of the world.
Kill them before they kill us.
Israel has this Canadian's full support.
News topics with with the word 'Israel' in it usually also contain the word 'kills'.
Wait, what side am I supposed to be rooting for ?
I see both sides have blood on their hands.
Israel has consistently ignored the UN rulings. Israel has consistently violated the Geneva Convention. Israel has consistently ignored any rules of decency or morality.
Israel is a racist regime with an overt policy of apartheid and genocide and collective punishment. Olmert the 2 faced butcher of Lebanon has no intention of making peace and they never have they have dishonored every single peace agreement.
The Israeli Army carries out clandestine false flag operations both in the West Bank and Gaza and then use those as a pretext to kill more Palestinian women and children.
Nobody should need reminding that the Palestinian Nation voted Hamas to power, they did this because they know that Fatah sold them out to the Zionists. Hamas is the legally elected Government of Palestine.
Israel has double standards and as a Government cannot stop crimes committed by Israeli Citizens this in spite of one of the worlds largest standing armies and a Para Military Police Force couple this to the continual false flag operations in Palestine and the nature of the game becomes clear.
How much longer do the Zionists think they can get away with what is the arguably the worst overt Genocide in history?. There are currently millions of Jews around the world who oppose the notion that somehow Israel speaks for them, and they make the matter known in no uncertain terms.
Israel is harboring the worlds worst war criminals. It is time to convene an International War Crimes Tribunal.
First of all, Arabs don't know what they want they are being forced to think one way or another by religious clerks or their leaders. This is really the sad part, they don't have enough education to decide what is really right or wrong so they believe what they leaders feed them with. So its their fault for being ignorant. Even though it says in Quran that once you had ruled the domain once and you loose you have to regain it back at any cost that means if Israel is gone in to Muslim hands next comes Spain and all the countries that once used be part of the Umaah. It is not about Palestinians who left their own country in 1948 when Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and other Arab countries invaded newly established democratic state of Israel everyone forgets the only reason they left was not because of Jewish soldiers forcing them out but because those Arab countries asked them to get out so not to get in the way of Invading Arabs armies so that they only kill Jews. Everyone forgot about 850000 Jewish refugees from the Arab countries who were forced out in 1948. Now we only talk about how Israel kills the innocent people. The question is who decides? Palestinians do. All they have to is stop rocket attacks on Israel on daily bases and Israel will stop. One might ask then what? Palestinians should build economy with 7.5 billion dollars that they just got thats plenty to get a good start. But the answere is they dont want peace let me correct my self they dont need peace it is not in their favor then all the money that they get from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Europe and other countries will stop. Then they would not have money to buy house in France, Italy, send their kids to best colleges in the world.
In conclusion, I want to leave you with one thing for you to do. Go online and google British Palestenian Mandate which originally was supposed to be split between the Jews and Arabs (Palestinians) and see what is left for Israel out it. The rest is now JORDAN. Now do the math for me ISRAEL+JORDAN=PALESTINIAN MANDATE, that said PALESTINIAN MANDATE-ISRAEL=JORDAN, JORDAN is first Palestinian state and now they want more. Wake up people of this world and see what is going on. BE OBJECTIVE!
Thank You for you time.
From the Balfour Declaration to the British withdrawal from Palestine, the Zionists carried out atrocities against their benefactors a typical example would be the King David Hotel massacre and the hanging of 3 British Army Sergeants.
There is a history of this type of behavior by the Zionists, they have been historically involved in many cataclysmic events aka Genocide. Then take a look at the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty with the loss of many lives. Then there is the Lavon affair in Egypt, the list is ongoing and very large.
Who would trust these people? Stabbing ones friends in the back usually involves a pathological mental condition. It is time to convene the War Crimes Tribunal.
You don't want to get into a atrocity for atrocity comparison, the Arab side has far outstripped all others in gravity and extent of its barbarism.
Quran = How to cook man kind...
If I say Moshe Dayan.Decorated Israeli War Hero. Born in Palestine.Would You Say? Truth! I Remember.I Heard Family say it? Mazel tov; Moshe Dayan said no part of Israel Had Not Required the Expulsion of Arabs.Now the Tiniest Bit of Logic From Goyim Friends in So-Cal;USA.If the Katusha has a Range of 24 Miles You Should Move Back 26 Miles.Ironically Equivalent to disputed Green line from 1967 War.Do I sound like Charlie Chan?Do I remind you of Brad Pit? Smile you'll Laugh longer.
I am often amazed at the ignnorance and downright barbarism of the Israeli supporters, when one of thier children is killed by a bomb the whole world has to know about it, yet on the other hand the total anihalation of the Palestinians(Including Men, women and children) plays no part in thier conciounce. So for this reason to talk and argue with these animals is futile, the time for talking is over, they have proved that they cannot talk like civilised people.
Firstly, there is no Israel, it is a Myth propogated by the same people that brought slavery to Africa, and by the same people that subjecated millions in the name of Colonnialism and civilisation. These people have an in-bred arrogance, reasoning is not an option, confrontation is the only option and confronting the evil of Imperialism is the only option for any civilised person whether they are Muslim or not.
Now is the time to end the Myth of Israel for the future of all humanity and if they are foolish enough to use Nukes, then the response will be on all of our shoulders, especially those who sat and did nothing. If you care about America, if you care about Europe then you would support the end of the occupation by whatever means possible.
Israel should be blasted into the stratosphere. This is a rogue evil state
It is quite obvious that the Zionists who cast aspersions against Muslims have never read the Koran and the have never read the Jewish Talmud and made the comparisons.
Google Ilam Pappe for some truth about the murder and the land theft. Others have recorded that the Zionists have buried thousands of tons of spent nuclear fuel in Gaza, which has come from the illegal operation of an unsafe nuclear reactor and in the process constructing in excess of 200 nuclear weapons.
The groundwater is also now heavily contaminated with the seepage of the material into the water table so basically the Jews in Siderot have more to worry about from their own government than it ever had to worry about the children's fireworks from Gaza which are hopelessly inaccurate
The following is a press release ..
'During the current Intifada, Israelis have buried nearly 50,000 tons of industrial chemical waste in Gaza Strip, only 30 meters deep, on an area of 5,000 square meters, as they stole the arable soil and moved it inside Israel and buried industrial waste in its place. This means that there's 150,000 cubic meters of poisonous waste buried in Gaza, which is a catastrophe. Moreover, Israel isn't affected by this waste because it was buried opposite to the flow of aquifer water,' Abu Safiya narrated.
In the West Bank, most of what's buried is in the direction of the eastern hills, because it's not included in the Israeli-controlled lands, unlike the western hills. Now, the eastern hills are polluted with chemical waster and pesticides.
Covering Up for Their Crimes
In Ramallah and Hebron, the Palestinian Authority had some basic equipment to measure radiation and environmental pollution. These equipment didn't only check radiation, but pollution in general, such as soil, water, air and chemical pollution.
In this subject, Dr. Abu Safiya said that small devices were discovered inside helicopters, which is used to regulate the fan's rotation, as well as providing the pilot with some technical data. These devices, if exposed to a person or played with by children, might lead to death or blood and gene mutations, as it contains radioactive materials. The Minister added that 'after these devices wore out, the Israelis dump them in the Palestinian controlled lands, and we found three of these devices in Ramallah, one of which was in President Yasser Arafat's office 'Al Moqata'a'.' Such devices were also found during the Israeli invasion of Ramallah City on March 29, 2002, after the Authority received warnings of suspicious radioactive materials. When specialists from the Authority of Environment Quality reached the area and checked these parts, they found out that it contained glowing radioactive materials. The instruments those specialists had indicated that radiation levels exceeded the maximum limit. When the manufacturing company was contacted concerning that, the company replied that these parts were sold to the Israeli Air Force, and that it's used in helicopters of the type CH53.
v racer and dale =disgrace to mankind
first off The so called PA is not legit Hamas was voted in by the Palestinians and is the real legit government everything else is spin.second of all, Hamas did not overthrow Fatah in a 'coup,' Fatah had planned to overthrow Hamas in Gaza got routed and are now only in control of the WestBank, does no-one remember the unity government that they had set up for a few months and that MR.pretends to be president Bush worked so hard on destroying.IF you want to put in an opinion perhaps you should know what your talking about first.People follow one story for a couple days and think they know everything...jeeze, oh well, i guess ignorance truly is bliss..
Israel seems to be following a course of action that will eventually provoke a global massacre. The buzz is that the Zionists have planted nuclear suitcase bombs in all of their Embassies around the world. The Israeli Embassies in New York and Huston are unexplained radiation hot spots.
Mossad comes and goes at will, most of the American key decision makers are Jews with dual nationality. They are so sure of themselves since the sinking of the USS Liberty that they no longer cover up what they are doing.
For example:
'I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it.'
--Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to cabinet member Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Y’Israel radio.
The burden of truth is becoming too heavy for Israel to bear and the doors of an International War Crimes Tribunal are swinging open and I am informed that the Sampson Option is on the table. Should these insane monsters launch a nuclear strike on Iran it will be the beginning and end for the worlds most infamous regime
