Quartet Representative Tony Blair's planned visit to Northern Gaza was postponed today, due to a specific security threat, which meant that it would have been "irresponsible" to go ahead. Mr Blair had been planning to see sewage treatment plant, renovation of which has been a priority project for him; meet representatives of the business community and civil society; and to visit a school run by UNRWA. Speaking to Palestinian journalists after the announcement, Mr Blair said: "I am very disappointed but this visit has been postponed and not cancelled. We were virtually there and had to turn back. "I intend to go as soon as I can. It would have been important to go and see for myself firsthand what's happening in Gaza and I will continue to press for help for the people there." Mr Blair made his decision to postpone the visit due to a specific security threat which he concluded would have made it irresponsible to proceed, not just for those visiting but also the local community.

Tish'a b'Av, the day of disaster for the Jewish people, also points the way towards their Redemption. It was three years ago this Tish'a b'Av that the units of the Israel Police and the IDF destroyed 21 Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip and four in Northern Samaria, in what the Israel government called hehitnatkút m'áza – the "disengagement" from Gaza. A total of 10,000 citizens were driven from their... ... Source: religionblog.dallasnews.com --- 27 days ago
Every time lunch is announced on the PA, or a schedule change booms out, they cringe. It comes from habit, listening for the two-minute warning of a rocket attack they're always on alert for at home. Nicole Neroulias tells the story of their "vacation from violence" for Religion News Service. The full account's below. By NICOLE NEROULIAS c. 2008 Religion News Service SUSSEX, N.J. -- Every few hours, the public address system at Camp Louemma broadcasts instructions about mealtimes and schedule changes to the campers and counselors scattered across 150 rustic acres in Northern New Jersey. Among the groups of youths occupied by hiking, swimming, and arts and crafts, nine new arrivals jerked their heads up at every announcement, prepared to run to their cabins for shelter. "We are still expecting to hear 'Color Red,"' said Shiran Jaldeti, 15, explaining that in their war-torn southern Israeli town of Sderot, such messages mean a two-minute warning of a Qassam rocket attack from nearby Gaza. "We don't really sleep at night because we always have to hear for the 'Color Red' announcement. In a car, you don't wear a seat belt, you don't put on the radio, you have the windows down so you can hear it." Jaldeti and 50 other Sderot teenagers have been given a break from bombings at five American Jewish sleepaway camps scattered across northeastern Pennsylvania, northwest New Jersey and lower New York state. The initiative was coordinated by ... Source: blogs.tnr.com --- 46 days ago
No one is especially eager for a military assault on Iran's maturing nuclear capacity. But almost no one doubts that Iran wants that capacity to be military, and so everyone rational is forced into thinking about how to curb--better yet, destroy--that appetite. The two alternative methods of bringing Ahmadinejad's Tehran to heel do not really command the loyalty of Russia and China. Both do a huge economic business with Iran: for oil, but not just for oil. And even Fiat, the automobile combine in an Italy governed by Berlusconi, has just announced its plans for building cars in Iran. As for diplomacy, Iran has not given an iota of encouragement to those who want to play this game. EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana himself has demonstrated that he is just about out of patience with the conference table, and he is ordinarily never finished with talk. There is one country that can afford to wait no longer, and that is Israel. It already has Iran's proxies--Hezbollah and Assad--on its two Northern borders, and through an alliance of convenience Hamas in Gaza. These three would not wish and probably couldn't break from an Iran that can deploy nuclear weapons. OK, let's one more time try economic pressure and diplomatic enticements for Iran to cease its satanic efforts. Well, that's what we are doing now and precisely. It will not work. I'd make a bet with anyone. So back to Israel which is not trigger happy. There is a ... Source: www.earthtimes.org --- 59 days ago

Israel said Sunday it allowed 180 Fatah-aligned Palestinians fleeing from weekend violence in Gaza to enter the country temporarily as a humanitarian gesture. Israel's Foreign Ministry says the group, including 22 injured men, was being pursued by gunmen from the rival Hamas militant group, which controls Gaza. The factional strife in a Gaza neighborhood claimed nine lives Saturday, officials said. Thirty of the refugees, however, were later sent back to Gaza at the urging of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, a Fatah member, who reportedly said they could cause trouble if they were sent to the occupied West Bank. Some of the Palestinians arriving Saturday afternoon at a point near the security fence in Northern Gaza were armed. ... Source: www.bignewsnetwork.com --- 33 days ago

By Ashraf Khalil in Gaza City Last week I took a vacation to Egypt to visit family, the first time I’d been back to Cairo since I was posted to Jerusalem in February. My relatives peppered me with questions about life in a country next door that they know they’ll never visit. What’s Al-Aqsa Mosque like? Have you crossed through the wall? How do “our cousins” (one of the more polite local euphemisms for Israelis) treat you at checkpoints? Two uncles asked me what was the Palestinian, especially the Gazan, opinion on Egypt. I hesitated. “Well, do you want the honest answer or the diplomatic one?” They wanted honesty, so I gave it to them. “ Ya amo (uncle), the Palestinians think that Egypt is an equal partner in the siege of Gaza and the suffering of the people there. Actually 'partner' is the wrong word. They think Israel and America are partners and Egypt is taking orders from them.” Technically, there is a host of diplomatic commitments — some dating back to the original Camp David accords — that govern the status of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and the Sinai. But on the ground, there’s nothing to keep Egypt from unilaterally opening the border , something Cairo has done before to let in emergency medical cases. At other times, the Gazans have initiated their own unilateral border openings, blowing open the border wall in January of this year and flooding into the Northern Sinai for almost two weeks. But the general sta ...
On March 19, Israeli forces rounded up Assad Salach and his sons, Fahmi and Salach, and Assad's brother Sa'id and his son Ghassan -- along with more than 300 men age 16 and above -- along its Northern border with the Gaza Strip. It is not the first time Israel has arrested the male members of the Salach family. These days when militants launch homemade Qassam rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip, they are usually launched from within the cities, not these border areas. Thus, it makes little sense for these men to be arrested solely for security purposes. Rather, it seems to be a method of pushing the families inhabiting the border areas into the cities and deserting their only source of income, their land. Israel is successfully destroying the potential of the fruit basket of the densely populated Strip. The once-luscious green land is now reduced to an arid no-man's-land, easily overseeable by Israel's security towers and drones overlooking it all. The economic crisis caused by this ongoing, intentional de-development of Gaza's economy is destroying the society's makeup. The Salach's main family home was destroyed in 2001. Eight Israeli bulldozers crossed the nearby border and flattened the fields. Shortly thereafter, they came back and flattened the home with some family members still inside. That day Abu Assad, the Salach family grandfather, had a stroke, and he and his wife, Om Assad, were taken to the hospital. By the end of t ...
