But I predict that the Zionists will not succeed. The extermination of the Palestinian people has been their pet fantasy from the beginning, but they haven't been able to do it: there are more Palestinians in Palestine now than there were at the time of the original ethnic cleansing campaign in 1948. <b>Am Filastin hai</b>!

Hamas has failed to control smaller organizations, such as the Popular Resistance Committees, under the terms of the cease-fire which it had agreed to, and those organizations continue to fire rockets and missiles across the border into Israel. The way to end the siege is to end hostile activity against the Israelis and enforce the terms of the cease-fire. At some point, the population of Gaza must seek unity with their compatriots in the West Bank, if there is to be a united free and independent Palestinian state and that state must come to terms with Israel if there is to be peace. There is no possibility of having war against Israel and building a prosperous Palestinian state simultaneously! One must take priority over the other! Until the people of Gaza decide that statehood is more important than war, the present situation will continue!

They are the ONLY states in the world that deny international media and humanitarian aid workers access. On November 18, 2008, I and forty seven international ecumenical Christians and other people of faith rolled out of bed before 5 AM to travel from Jerusalem to the Erez Crossing in the Gaza Strip. We went to stand up as a united people of conscience in NONVIOLENT Solidarity with the people of Gaza and in support of all the NGO’s that have been denied access into the Gaza Strip for over two weeks. We went in love and for love of all of God’s children; Be they the oppressed or the oppressors, Those imprisoned by walls and those who erect them, Those who are denied clean water and their deniers, Those whose fears rule their hearts and the heartbroken, Those whose ideology, greed, apathy, and power blind them to their culpability, responsibilities and obligations. We went with hope to arouse the consciences of the leaders of the world to seek peace through justice; equal human rights for all. Some media turned out for the NGO meeting we attended in the parking lot at Erez Crossing-NOT USA media needless to say-more on that to follow asap; Because of poor Internet connection and lack of time to investigate-I have no 'official' confirmation, but the word on the street in Jerusalem is that the Israeli OCCUPYING Forces tanks rolled back into Gaza shortly after we departed. Israel and the USA both signed the Geneva Convention. That makes them BOTH legally, morally and ethically RESPONSIBLE for the 1.5 million open air prisoners of Gaza; 60% are children under the age of 18 years old! May God have mercy on those who do NOT know what they are doing -BUT, NO DOUBT they KNOW perfectly well and that has got my Irish up and flaming. There is no time right now for me to write it all out of my system-but I WILL and also will I tell the TRUTH again at Ben Gurion! http://www.wearewideawake.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=594&Itemid=169 What do Zimbabwe, Burma, North Korea and Israel have in Common?
