Current Events - December 2006

Israeli parliamentarian Yuval Steinitz called for abolition of Palestinian Authority in face of Hamas non-recognition and threats.

Steinitz argued in a radio interview Monday, Dec. 11, that there was no point in continuing the course set by the 1983 Oslo Accords which established the Palestinian Authority after 13 disastrous years that led to Hamas rule. A new policy is needed, he said, to cope with the menacing reality.

In Teheran, Palestinian Authority prime minister Ismail Haniya said "Palestine" is Islamic land and no one had the right to give it up. Armed struggle, he said, is the only way to free Palestine from “the occupation.” Haniya was received by Iran’s supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the end of a four-day visit to Iran which awarded his government $250m.

I watched a program on North Korea the other night, I had no idea that they're world is so restricted. Students there cant' use the internet, and when they try to reach "non government approved" sites, its blocked. They didn't know what "Google" was. The only artists there are goverment appointed, and can only paint what what Kim Jong-Il: North Korea's Dear Leader approves of. I couldn't believe it. So, I'm wondering do we appreciate at the freedoms we have here? I don't think we do. We should remember the soldiers and the veterans who fight for our freedom here in the west.

A senior intelligence officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he believed Hamas was behind the attack. In a statement, the intelligence service stopped just short of accusing Hamas.

In the attack, gunmen in two vehicles riddled the car carrying the children with some 60 bullets, Palestinian security officials said. Balousheh's three sons Osama, 9, Ahmed, 6, and Salam, 3 were killed, Balousheh was not in the car.

Four more people were wounded in the attack on Palestine Street, which is lined with nine schools. The attack sent children in the area running for cover, some dropped to the ground, others fled in panic.
Fatah Party of President Mahmoud Abbas announced that talks on forming a unity government between Hamas and Fatah had broken down.Calling for early elections, drew angry protests by Hamas.

I know Israel will be blamed in the near future. But who but a fanatic can buy that line of BS?

It was reported by Debkafile that sixty bullets were fired at the sons of Palestinian General Intelligence officer Baha Baalusha, a Fatah loyalist, in apparent retaliation for Sunday’s attempted assassination of Hamas interior minister Siyad Siam. The boys aged 6 to 9 were shot dead outside their school.

Is this true Arab solidarity?
