Chomsky has some information on Israel's naval blockade of Gaza's waters... this is quite bastardly of Israel (but i'm sure the rightwing in here will be thrilled the gazans are getting pillaged and fucked):


One crucial element of Israel's siege, little reported, is the naval blockade. Peter Beaumont reports from Gaza that "On its coastal littoral, Gaza's limitations are marked by a different fence where the bars are Israeli gunboats with their huge wakes, scurrying beyond the Palestinian fishing boats and preventing them from going outside a zone imposed by the warships." (Guardian, 27 May). According to reports from the scene, the naval siege has been tightened steadily since 2000. Fishing boats have been driven steadily out of Gaza's territorial waters and towards the shore by Israeli gunboats, often violently without warning and with many casualties. As a result of these naval actions, Gaza's fishing industry has virtually collapsed; fishing is impossible near shore because of the contamination caused by Israel's regular attacks, including the destruction of power plants and sewage facilities.

These Israeli naval attacks began shortly after the discovery by the British Gas group of what appear to be quite sizeable natural gas fields in Gaza's territorial waters. Industry journals report that Israel is already appropriating these Gazan resources for its own use, part of its commitment to shift its economy to natural gas. The standard source, Platt's Commodity News, reports (Feb. 3, 16) that "Israel's finance ministry has given the Israel Electric Corp. approval to purchase larger quantities of natural gas from BG than originally agreed upon, according to Israeli government sources [which] said the state-owned utility would be able to negotiate for as much as 1.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas from the Marine field located off the Mediterranean coast of the Palestinian controlled Gaza Strip. Last year the Israeli government approved the purchase of 800 million cubic meters of gas from the field by the IEC.... Recently the Israeli government changed its policy and decided the state-owned utility could buy the entire quantity of gas from the Gaza Marine field. Previously the government had said the IEC could buy half the total amount and the remainder would be bought by private power producers."

The pillage of what could become a major source of income for Palestine is surely known to US authorities. It is only reasonable to suppose that the intention to steal Palestine's limited resources is the motive for preventing Gaza fishing boats to enter Gaza's territorial waters. It would also not be a great surprise if we were to discover some day that the same intention was in the background of the criminal US-Israeli attack on Gaza in December 2008.

Bmw can't possible be correct in saying, "What people tend to forget is the fact that the settlers are not exactly wildly popular in Israel itself. There are true extremists among them, exhibiting all the signs and symptoms of bonafide terrorists. It's pretty clear the Israelis don't give a shit about these most fanatic of Jews. What kind of country, what kind of people ever let these settlers get started in the first place. Israel uses them as pawns in a situation which could lead to them getting slaughtered, en masse if their little game of "chicken" goes wrong. But that's how Zionism works: There's a whole panoply of Zionism's victims in Israel before you even get to Arabs or Palestinians."

From all the reports I see, the nutty Israeli settler parties are only supposed to number some 10,000, but when they supposedly drive too much of a share in Israeli politics that numbers some 5 million voters, there is a giant disconcerting problem here, because the Statistics are that there are now 280,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank. And the only thing that explains that revolving door is that there are a constant recycling of Israelis who got their way and a endless supply of remaining 10,000 nuts who want the same.

Bottom line, there are at least 290,000 remaining Israeli nuts, that must be told, sorry Charlie, your settlements in the West Bank are illegal.

Or there is no possibility of a viable mid-east peace.

This bit of you claiming Hamas agreed to stop others from attacking Israel is the part I kept asking you to prove but you keep trying to weasel your way around it and point your finger at me.
Links were posted back when the truce went ino effect and was broken within 48 hours.
...
You can't claim the truce was broken by rockets fired by organisations other than Hamas without first proving that the terms of the truce required Hamas to stop other organisations from firing rockets. Well of course you can, but only because you are a compulsive liar.

Did you cut off your last statement part way through? I'm at a loss as to what to make of it.

Anyway, I get the impression that in you imagination Israeli solders stay confined to military zones within Israel and Palestinian militants have guidance systems on their rockets which they set to direct them away from those military zones and towards civilian targets. Is that how you have conceptualised your argument here?

I am not rightly a liberal, but were we holding Mexico under military occupation while colonizing their homeland out from under them and killing off whoever gets in the way, I'd call us murderous psychos for that too, regardless of how many nightclubs or whatever Mexicans blew up. Also I don't recall Palestinians ever attacking a wedding or a funeral, perhaps for the wedding you were thinking of the one we massacred over in Iraq?

The money meant for aid to the people of Gaza was spent on weapons that came to Gaza under the guise of humanitarian aid. Slince the PLO days this has been the case.

The Palestinian rockets are unguided.
They are a point and shoot - no targetting orguidance capability.
The range of the rockets and the trajectory path is planned for the civilian areas.

Now this may mean that they do not have thecapability to target the military bases.

The Israelis have munitions that are launched/dropped via computer targetting.

Both you, Phokus, kyle and Craig continually accuse me of lying - this has started to happen when I am able to provide factual evidence/articles that do not jibe with your views.

What knowledge do either of you have of munitions; urban warfare and/or first hand observations of the conflict?

The Palestinian militants are not tne innocent angels that you want to believe - they have one aim - the destruction of Israel using any terror and proganda method that will work.

There seems to be alack of reading comprehension.

There have been no published terms of the truce that I have seen.
One of the Hamas supporters here claims to have provided a summary - I do not recall seeing it.

Israel would not have agreed to a truce if it states that only Hamas would stop the attacks.
Just like Hamas would not have agreed if the truce states that the IDF would not attack.

the first statement allows the loophole that Hamas and supporters are using.
the second allows the Mossad and settlers to take action without comprimising the truce.

Neither would have been acceptable to the other side.

If the truce stated to STOP the attacks - then they did not stop. They were reduced.
and 4 months later when Israel went after a tunnel being used by Hamas to attack/capture Israeli soldiers.

A four-month ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza was in jeopardy today after Israeli troops killed six Hamas gunmen in a raid into the territory.

Hamas responded by firing a wave of rockets into southern Israel, although no one was injured. The violence represented the most serious break in a ceasefire agreed in mid-June, yet both sides suggested they wanted to return to atmosphere of calm.

Israeli troops crossed into the Gaza Strip late last night near the town of Deir al-Balah. The Israeli military said the target of the raid was a tunnel that they said Hamas was planning to use to capture Israeli soldiers positioned on the border fence 250m away. Four Israeli soldiers were injured in the operation, two moderately and two lightly, the military said.

One Hamas gunman was killed and Palestinians launched a volley of mortars at the Israeli military. An Israeli air strike then killed five more Hamas fighters. In response, Hamas launched 35 rockets into southern Israel, one reaching the city of Ashkelon.

"This was a pinpoint operation intended to prevent an immediate threat," the Israeli military said in a statement. "There is no intention to disrupt the ceasefire, rather the purpose of the operation was to remove an immediate and dangerous threat posted by the Hamas terror organisation."

One Hamas gunman was initially killed.
Hamas retaliated with an escalation (disproportionatly accord to the rules that people want to apply to Israel).
Israel then responded killing 5 (probably those firing the mortars)
Hamas again retaliated with an escalation (disproportionatly accord to the rules that people want to apply to Israel).


when Hamas kills one Israeli people get all upset when Israel attacks (disproportionatly )
when Hamas launches munitions because of one Hamas gunman killed then it is acceptable.

Proof that a double standard exists

I can provide you with as much factual information on civilian deaths amongst Palestinians as you require. Do you really need me to fill up twenty pages of the forum with links?

Nobody has stated that Palestinian militants are angels, but why are you trying to present Israel as the "good guy"? This is not the case. Each side contains its fair share of fanatics and bigots. You focus on the Palestinian fanatics whilst consistently failing to address the atrocities of Israel.

I have all the knowledge of urban warfare that I will ever need, given that, in my lifetime, more than 3000 people were killed in my country, the majority in my city.

I have visited this area of the world.

The solution does not, as you seem to believe, involve assigning more blame to one particular group: the Israelis and the Palestinians are equally to blame and deserve our sternest criticism for placing other interests before the resolution of this conflict. Many lives could have been saved.

No piece of dirt is worth a single human life: we are all merely leasees rather than title-holders.

When you find the intellectual foresight to refrain from acting as an apologist for one particular side, let me know.

We must all understand that terrorism is often the politics of the powerless. And before the breakup of the British Palestinian mandate, the jews were using terrorism better than anyone else in the region.

And if we gave the Palestinians that tanks and the planes we give Israel, I am sure they would be willing to fight "fair", but they fight with the limited cards they are given, and the alternative is to meekly accept having every bit of their land stolen from them. As it is Fatah is unlikely to last in ruling the West Bank if they do not do anything to stop continual Israeli settlement.

Its no accident that Israel has that many terrorists targeting them, when it comes to those hatreds, Israel has done everything to truly earn those hatreds. And after 61 years, its time to realize, that the harder Israel tries to repress it,
the more futile it becomes.

Sadly, unless those hatreds are defused on all sides, its all too likely some terrorist groups will get a hold of longer range rockets, arm them with deadly chemical and biological weapons, and that will be the end of the Israeli question.
And instead of sharing Israel, no one will have it because the land will be uninhabitable.

As far as I am concerned, I have always approached this conflict from an unbiased position; however, this also entails criticising Israel when they so very clearly deserve it.

exactly, Israel hates the Palestinians as much as the Palestinians hate Israel. but we are always on the side of Israel.
just last week, Israel citizens burned down crops so the Palestinians would have nothing to eat.
if it wasn't for religion, this stupid crap would not me happening.

When you can provide the actual verbiage of the truce; it can be evaluated and one of us can admit to being incorrect.

I can only go on what was reported in the media and what I feel is the way the truce signers would evaluate verbiage that has loopholes written into it that void the publicized intent of the truce.

Rather, even if your claim that the truce required Hamas to stop other organizations from firing rockets were true, I'm still correct in pointing out that you have not presented any evidence to support that claim. Your ongoing attempts to stand by that claim even while admitting you your inability to prove it is only further demonstrating of the depths of your dishonesty here. Is there no end to it?
