‘Israel seeks Judaization of al-Quds’

The Islamic Jihad of Palestine says dissolving the two Palestinian governments would only help Israeli plans to Judaize al-Qods.

Speaking at the international Tehran conference in support of Palestinians Wednesday, PIJ Secretary-General Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah said forming a unity government in place of the two existing ones –Hamas and Palestinian Authority– was a dangerous idea.

“This would mean that once the unity government is formed, Palestinians would have to look for another place to live. This is something we are strongly opposed to,” Shallah told the participants of the conference titled ‘Palestine: Manifestation of Resistance, Gaza: Victim of Crimes’.

Speak out against women abuse

by Abdullah Saeed

The Star-May 12, 2009 Edition 1

I refer to the article "Abuse of Muslim gets worse", (Star, May 04).
Violence against women is a human rights violation and is a behaviour that knows no culture, religion, race, tradition, social status or country. It is one of the biggest scourges in our communities and there can be no justification for it.
Blaming acts of domestic violence on religion and other factors serves only to conceal and distract us from the truth – domestic violence is a reality in every community and we have not yet dedicated the necessary resources to challenge and change this.
According to statistics, one out of every three women in the world has been a victim of violence in her lifetime, violence against women is one of the four major causes of death on the planet today and 30 percent of women are being physically injured by their partners.
We need to break the culture of silence and motivate victims to speak out against violence.

Meeting lavarov and mashal

A meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Hamas political Leader Khaled Mashal in Damascus has irked Israeli officials. Senior officials in the Foreign Ministry were furious on Sunday over the news that Lavrov had held talks with Mashaal, saying that he felt maintaining contact with Hamas was ‘needed’. Israeli Foreign Ministry officials were mulling over a possible response to Russia’s move which came ahead of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s visit to Moscow scheduled for next week, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported. The daily added that Tel Aviv might file an official complaint against Lavrov’s meeting. The Russian foreign minister, however, defended his move saying that Moscow believes it needs to keep its contact with Hamas. The meeting was held when Lavrov was on a brief visit to Syria to attend a session held by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). (Reference for text: Press TV. Photo: via mosnewes.com)

Gazas 15 million people are getting 350 calves

Gaza’s 1.5 million people are getting 350 calves today — the first Israeli delivery in nine months

by Marian Houk

It apparently takes American pressure to get the Israeli military to allow 350 cows into Gaza today — the first in nine months. This, it should be noted, is for 1.5 million human beings.

However, the Israeli military’s "Coordinator of (Israeli) Government Activities in the Territories" (COGAT) has reportedly determined — after a supposedly-careful and somehow-scientific analysis redolent of other notoriously disastrous historical precedents involving social engineering experiments on a captive population — that 300 cows per week are the minimum needed in Gaza in order to avoid malnutrition, and a "humanitarian crisis" (which U.S. President Barack Obama said in Germany in early June already exists).

The Israeli Defense Ministry was put in charge of administering the drip-feed sanctions on the population of Gaza following the Israeli Government’s decision on 19 September 2007 to label Gaza an "enemy entity" or "hostile territory". In response to vigorous petitions, appeals, and protests by Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations, the Israeli military promised the Israeli Supreme Court it would not allow a "humanitarian crisis" to develop in the Gaza Strip.
