Israeli spokesperson, we regret the death of Amr Qawasme

I fail to understand what is happening to mankind, for one to say they regret something is to play down an incident. For example one might say, I regret leaving my job or selling my car or losing my keys or missing the bus. But to say one regrets taking the life of another human is simply disrespecting /disregarding the value of life.


There is absolutely no comfort for the loved ones of the deceased in such a statement, and only shows the family the worth placed on their loved one by the killer/s. Every human has value and a place of importance to their family and extended family, and this value should always be observed.

Statements like the one above only serve to show the hatred and total lack of value that the Israelis have for Palestinians.

Humans are not ELIMINATED they are killed / murdered, they are not pawns to be trifled with in order to gain political superiority over an enemy government they are civilians, voters, Mothers, Fathers, Children, Brothers and Sisters.

IDF assassination squad get the wrong man!

The Israeli military machine has claimed the life of another Palestinian in the West Bank.

The victim was Amr Qawasme, a 65-year-old Hebron resident, who was killed during what was obviously an IDF sanctioned assassination. However the victim was not their target and it looks like the IDF actually raided the wrong address.
The IDF are claiming that Amr Qawasme was in the home of their target a Hamas official.

IDF assassinations are by no means something new in the West Bank, however they are rarely reported as assassinations, more often termed as arrest attempts that either went wrong or arrest attempts met by resistance.

Is the killing of Jawaher Abu Rahmah a war crime?

For almost six years the residents of the town of Bilin have been holding peaceful, non-violent weekly demonstrations against the current illegal separation barrier.

The woman who died on Saturday, Jawaher Abu Rahmah, was a 36-year-old resident of the town of Bilin, and WAS NOT active in the demonstration, but watching with her Mother a distance away.
Her Mother in an interview with the New York Times, explained that the wind blew the gas from the grenades in their direction.

Of course, the Zionist state is coming up with all sorts of excuses and denials, they claimed firstly that she wasn’t even there, then claims from the Israeli government that she may have suffered from asthma!

One has absolutely no doubt that the Israeli immoral machine will try to discredit Jawaher Abu Rahmah at some point as they tried to do with Rachel Corrie and then when all else fails they will simply tell untruths.

The P.A. has claimed the death of Jawaher Abu Rahmah is a war crime, a claim dismissed by Israel. But here are the facts: Israel illegally occupies Palestine, the barrier being constructed is Illegal and by definition the presence of the IDF in the area is also ILLEGAL!

RAMALLAH, names street after Rachel Corrie

RAMALLAH,in the occupied territories of Palestine has honored fallen peace and human rights activist Rachel Corrie, by naming a street in her memory.

Rachel Corrie a 23 year old American peace activist was murdered by the IDF (Israeli Army) on the 16th of March 2003, whilst non-violently trying to protect the home of a Palestinian family, from illegal destruction by the Zionist state. Despite the fact that the IDF were aware that there was an active demonstration by non-Palestinian activists, the order was given to destroy the home.


There is little known about the bulldozer driver who took Rachel’s life, apart from the fact that he is a 38-year-old Russian immigrant who came to Israel in 1995.

During the recent case brought by Rachel’s parents against the State of Israel, the dozer driver was hidden behind a screen, which the Zionist state claimed was necessary to protect him.

Lieberman: Israel requires “at least a decade” for peace with Palestinians!

The latest from Israel comes in the form of a statement by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman the champion of the settlers, who claimed that “at least a decade” would be required by Israel to achieve any peace accord with the Palestinians.

This is simply stalling tactics on the part of the Zionist entity, as ten years more would see the total ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians from East Jerusalem and the greater part of the West Bank, not to mention the fact that the people of Gaza can NOT wait another 10 years for a solution to what is the obvious imprisonment and punishment of a people by the Zionists.

Right now, on a daily basis homes are destroyed ILLEGALLY in East Jerusalem by the Zionists, leaving entire families, sometimes generations of Palestinian families without a home, despite the fact that Israel is clearly breaking International law.

The International community does not have the back bone to do anything about this situation and as a result allows the Zionist entity to rule Palestine as they see fit.

Since 1982 the United States has used its veto powers 32 times to protect the Zionist entity from any action by the United Nations, thus proving the fact that the UN needs to be either totally scrapped or overhauled in a way that no one power / country, has the ability to stand in the way of the UN’s duty to other nations or peoples who are currently being occupied and brutalised.

If this were the case and the UN was running as it should be, there would be UN Peace Keepers on the original borders between Israel and Palestine and the Zionist entity would have to abide by the rule of law. However there are NO peace keepers in Palestine and those that are on the border of Israel and Lebanon are about as much use as discarded cigarette butts, in other words they are visible but because of lack of political will on the part of the UN they serve no proper purpose, as has been proved by the fact that almost on a daily basis the IAF (Israeli Air Force) invade Lebanese air space for hours on end without ANY consequence, Yet one can imagine the reaction from the Israelis and her allies, if the Lebanese army was to down one of these aircraft, as is their right of self defence.

Lieberman, has called on numerous occasions for the total expulsion of all Arabs from the occupied territories and the expansion of Jewish settlements to all areas.

This may be acceptable to Mr Lieberman and his cronies, but there is growing opposition even from within Israel.

No contact with the Arabs

The latest from Israel would be hilarious if not so serious. The Wives of Rabbis in Israel have launched a campaign advising Jewish women not to date or otherwise associate with Arab men, alongside another recommendation that under no circumstances should landlords, housing agents, and property owners let their property to Arabs.

This came shortly after the story broke of an 85 year old male Israeli Holocaust survivor, who was being hassled by his so called neighbours / Fellow Israelis, for simply allowing Arab / Palestinian students to rent rooms in his property. The man in question, a warm kindly gentleman personified all that is and can be good about Jewry, in a short interview the gentleman is seen greeting a young Palestinian man and they genuinely appeared to have both admiration and respect for each other, As it Should be!

To my great shame I cannot recall this gentleman’s name, but I have no doubt that the local neighbourhood watch can, no doubt that the local right wing nut brigade leader can, and no doubt that this kindly caring human will in some way have to pay for his kindness.
