"Mundo critica raids israelitas em Gaza (mais aqui)"Claro que escolher entre os “oprimidos” que se dedicam ao assassinato de civis e os “maus” que abatem militantes terroristas, o politicamente correcto verte as lágrimas de crocodilo pelos primeiros.

Pois o politicamente correcto aqui nem sempre é igual.
Os peidos de velha lançads pelos infiltrados da Mossad nos movimentos palestinianos provocaram bombardeamentos com F16.
Os semitas são os dois lados e o Sr Olmert quer apenas vingar-se e ser reeleito.
Os sionistas já não vendem a história do desgraçadinho do judeu, daí a vergonha que deveriam sentir os judeus não sionistas.
Esses seus comentários por vezes fazem pensar que o politicamente correcto são todos os que apoiam os palestinianos e não há sim nem sopas.
O caso de facto por muito que lhe custe foi e é feito pela Mossad e pelos Sionistas que não são propriamente o Povo Judeu.
Israel has continued bombing Gaza for a fourth day, hitting government buildings in Gaza City today and threatening a drawn-out conflict as the Palestinian death toll rose to at least 364.
Palestinian militants stepped up rocket attacks that yesterday killed three Israeli civilians in towns in southern Israel: among them, a woman was killed at a bus stop in the city of Ashdod, the farthest north a rocket from Gaza has so far reached, and a soldier was killed by a mortar fired from Gaza.
Early today, Israeli planes dropped at least 16 bombs on five government buildings in Gaza, destroying them and starting several fires. Palestinian officials said 10 people died in the latest attacks.
Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, who has said his government does not want another ceasefire with Hamas, said his army was fighting a "war to the bitter end".
The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, had told the country's president, Shimon Peres, that the current aerial phase of the operation was "the first of several" that had been approved, an Olmert spokesman said.
Israel has declared the border area around Gaza a closed military zone. Together with preparations to call up thousands of reservists, this could suggest a large ground invasion is planned next. Barak said the military campaign would be "widened and deepened as needed".
The number of civilians killed has continued to rise. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which supports Palestinian refugees and has large programmes in Gaza, said it believed at least 62 civilians were dead, at a conservative estimate. The overall number of injured is thought to be as high as 1,400, although Gazan hospitals are so overcrowded and short of medicine and equipment that they are turning away all but the most seriously wounded.
The Israeli interior minister, Meir Sheetrit, said there was "no room for a ceasefire" with Hamas until the threat of rocket fire had been removed. "The Israeli army must not stop the operation before breaking the will of the Palestinians, of Hamas, to continue to fire at Israel," he told Israel Radio. Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister, said the military "has made preparations for long weeks of action".
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, called for swift and decisive action to end the "unacceptable" violence, and urged world leaders to step up pressure for a political solution. In his third statement on Gaza in three days, Ban said he was "deeply alarmed" by the escalation of violence. While recognising Israel's right to defend itself, he condemned its "excessive use of force".
The Bush administration refused to call on Israel to show restraint, instead blaming the conflict solely on Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel. "Israel is going after terrorists who are firing rockets and mortars into Israel, and they are taking the steps that they feel are necessary to deal with the terrorist threat," said Gordon Johndroe, a White House spokesman.
"In order for the violence to stop, Hamas must stop firing rockets into Israel and agree to respect a sustainable and durable ceasefire."
Israel had told the US it was not planning to retake Gaza, Johndroe said.
Apart from anger in the Arab world, governments elsewhere have been quiet, with little public criticism of Israel – in contrast with previous similar offensives.
The pope had been scheduled to make his first trip to Israel in May, but a spokesman interviewed by Vatican radio said this was no longer certain. "There is a need to be rather prudent," Father Federico Lombardi said. The pontiff urged both sides to restore a truce and not to yield to the "perverse logic of confrontation and violence".
Despite mounting public pressure, Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, said today he would not fully open the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip while Hamas, rather than the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority, remains in control of the border.
"We will not deepen the division and that breach [between Hamas and Fatah] by opening the Rafah border crossing in the absence of the Palestinian Authority and the European Union monitors," Mubarak said.
In the Yemeni city of Aden, hundreds of protesters stormed the Egyptian consulate, setting fire to the national flag on the roof and throwing computers out of the windows, in the latest sign of anger in the region at Egypt.
In Damascus, a senior Hamas leader said the group's conditions for a fresh ceasefire were a halt to Israeli attacks in Gaza and the West Bank and a reopening of the crossings into Gaza – conditions Israel has previously refused.
"We are going to defend ourselves, defend our people and defend our land," Moussa Abu Marzouk, the deputy head of the Hamas politburo, told Associated Press. "We need our liberty, we need our freedom and we need to be independent. If we don't accomplish this objective then we have to resist. This is our right." Hamas leaders in Gaza were in hiding last night.
One of Israel's targets in bombing raids before dawn yesterday was the Islamic University in Gaza City, the territory's main university and one with links to Hamas. Two buildings housing science and engineering laboratories were flattened and six others damaged.
Gaza's streets were empty again and Israeli military drones and jets could be heard overhead. The only crowds were queues at bakeries. Israel again prevented journalists from entering Gaza to report on the bombing.
The Guardian
Why have the Israelis done this now?
What I'm hearing and reading is that it must have a lot to do with the forthcoming election, and that the people who are in not doing so well in the polls. They want to improve their ratings once again at the expense of the people of Palestine. That may be one reason. But whatever the reason, this is going to make things much worse, not only for the Palestinian people, but also I think for the whole region.
And this is not going to make things easier for the next [American] administration to deal with the problems of this very, very sensitive region--not only Palestine itself but a host of other problems, from Iraq to Afghanistan.
It has been suggested that the Israelis are showing their muscle to compensate for their disaster in attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon.
That is quite possible, too. But it is so terribly sad that whenever you have a problem, then you just punch the Palestinians and you think you can solve some problem. Because you didn't do well against the Lebanese two years ago, well why don't we do much better against the Palestinians. This is a reminder of the invasion of Iraq--that we've been attacked by a group of Muslims, so let's attack a Muslim country, even if we know perfectly well that the given country had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attack.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Egyptians and others simply cannot sit by and watch this assault on Gaza go on, can they?
I'm afraid they are. This is at the very least a terrible embarrassment for Mahmoud Abbas, who has put all his money on working with the Israeli establishment, and also with the American administration, believing--as I suppose he has--in the promises that some kind of solution will take place, or at least some improvement in the condition of the Palestinians. But he has absolutely nothing to show for his line of policy.
I think the Arab governments that supported him must share in his embarrassment. And once again the so-called militants, the resistance, those who people call extremists, will be in a position to say once again, We told you so; we told you that your belief in the magnanimity of the Israelis, your belief in the promises of the American administration--that there will be a two-state solution before the end of this year--was naive at best and irresponsible, probably, at worst.
What will happen in the West Bank as the result of the assault on Gaza?
If the past is anything to go by, these kind of total attacks that do so much harm to civilians generally reinforce the so-called extremists, not the moderates. I think it was said in Haaretz that no military action has reinforced the moderates in the history of Israel. One has to suppose that in this particular case Hamas will come out politically reinforced, no matter how much they will lose militarily. That is true not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank.
I'm afraid it will be true also in the rest of the Arab world. The Islamist political movements in the Arab world live really on the lack of success of the so-called moderates, the people who are cooperating with the West. They thrive on their failures, an in particular on their total impotence to help the people of Palestine. I'm sure that from Morocco to Indonesia really, the Islamists will gain capital out of this.
Does this worsen bad feelings about the United States just at a time when there was hope that things could soon be different?
The statement read by the spokesman of the president of the United States, it is predictable. Still, it will be heard with a deep sense of outrage in Palestine, in the Arab world, in the Muslim world and, I think, in the third world in general. While people are looking at their television screens at the corpses which you do not see on American television, of kids being killed, [for] the president of the United States to go out and say, this is the fault of the Palestinians, that is beyond belief. This will certainly not improve the standing of the United States.
Will people understand that Obama seems silent now it is because he does not want to pronounce on foreign policy while the Bush administration is still in office?
As a government bureaucrat myself, I understand that. Whether the common people understand why you don't do anything in a case where humanitarian law and international law is ignored and broken in such a brutal manner, I'm not sure.
The US has almost always kept the issue of Israel out of the United Nations Security Council, and this does not help in finding internationally backed solutions.
Of course not. The United States very, very definitely could be the honest broker. They certainly have the tools to help solve this problem. And I think the parameters of solving this problem are already there now. Even the Israelis speak now of a two-state solution. The thing is to make it happen. The Americans can certainly do that, but they will definitely not do it if they continue to support Israel, whatever Israel does. With that attitude they are ruling themselves out as a truly honest broker.
The Arab governments are facing now a very difficult choice: to continue to pretend that the Americans can be an honest broker or to actually join their people and say, the Americans have chosen to be on the Israeli side. So let's treat them as such; let's treat them as they want to be treated, recognize them as they want to be recognized, as supporters of Israel no matter how outrageous its actions are.
When this is over, is there any was to bring Hamas into a serious conversation about the future of the Palestinians?
Absolutely. Hamas won an election, and what should have been done is immediately after the election is to go to them and tell them, congratulations: you have won and now you want to govern. We would like to help you govern. But for that there are conditions.
But what was done was the entire international community--and, I'm sorry to say, some Arab countries--told Hamas, No, we don't want to talk to you. It's not impossible to go to Hamas and tell them, If you want to play an important part in the leadership of your people you've got to talk to others and listen to views other than yours. I'm almost certain that they would.
To whom would they listen?
I think they would listen to anybody, and certainly to the Americans. [But] the Americans have acted to stop anybody talking to Hamas. Even Abbas. They have been putting a lot of pressure on him. I know this for a fact. And they have been telling the same thing to the Arab governments. They have adopted the Israeli line not 99 percent but 100 percent.
Is the US going to pay a price for not talking with Iran, which backs Hamas, or with other countries in the region?
I think now that in the region they know that the present administration has been consistent in being hostile to the people of the region. But what they are saying is, OK, this administration is out in twenty days. Let's see if the next administration will act a little bit different or not.
Where are the Europeans? Can they play a role in influencing Israel at this point?
I'm afraid they are nowhere. Europe may have become an economic giant but it is politically a midget. They don't exist politically, not collectively. In private discussions with Europeans at the highest level, they will say something. But publicly they show absolutely no courage in backing their talk about human rights and fairness and democracy with concrete attitudes. Though there are shades of difference among European countries....I tell my friends in Europe they have really disqualified themselves to speak of human rights and democracy.
What is the game plan you would draw up for Barack Obama now, given what has happened in Gaza?
He said that he will pay attention to this problem from day one. He also said when he went to Israel--and this is being quoted again and again--that if rockets were raining on my house I would definitely do something to stop it. Yes, do something. But what is it that you do? Kill innocent Palestinians because innocent Israelis are under threat? I think you look at the problem and you see that at the root of the problem is occupation. So if you want to protect your daughters, work to end occupation. There are lots of Israelis who share that view. Why do you support the most extreme Israelis? Why not look out for those brave Israelis who have very strong Zionist credentials, who fought for Israel, who believe in Israel and who think that what [their] government is doing is wrong? Why not take their view into consideration?
He must have made his analysis of what his inheritance is and what needs to be done to reestablish the kind of leadership the people of the United States have the right to aspire to. Do they want people to fear them, hate them, or do they want people to admire them and look up to them--a country that people have confidence in? I hope he will take the kind of decisions that will be good for the people of America.
Is there still enough good will out there after these recent events in Gaza? Does he have half a chance to turn the image around?
I think he has, but I think this administration is doing their damnedest to reduce his chances.

o Hamas estava mesmo a pedi-las, que militares são eles que se escondem no meio da população? Cobardes e assassinos.
Viva Israel, Tribunal de Haia p/a quem bombardeia e começou a lançar morteiros para o Sul do Israel, Força IDF
Onde estavam estes manifestantes todos durante os dias em que choveram mísseis sobre Israel, vindos de Gaza? Se estavam a durmir é bom que acordem que, pelos vistos, vem aí mais. Força Israel
Palavras do Eclesiastes, filho de David, rei de Jerusalém.
Vaidade das vaidades, diz o Eclesiastes, vaidade das vaidades! Tudo é vaidade.
Que proveito tira o homem de todo o trabalho com que se afadiga debaixo do sol?
Uma geração passa, outra vem; mas a terra sempre subsiste.
O sol levanta-se, o sol se põe; apressa-se a voltar a seu lugar; em seguida, levanta-se de novo.
O vento vai em direcção ao sul, vai em direcção ao norte, volteia e gira nos mesmos circuitos.
Todos os rios se dirigem para o mar, e o mar não transborda. Em direcção ao mar, para onde correm os rios, eles continuam a correr.
Todas as coisas se afadigam, mais do que se pode dizer. A vista não se farta de ver, o ouvido nunca se sacia de ouvir.
O que foi é o que será: o que acontece é o que há de acontecer. Não há nada de novo debaixo do sol.
Se é encontrada alguma coisa da qual se diz: Vê: isto é novo, ela já existia nos tempos passados.
Não há memória do que é antigo, e nossos descendentes não deixarão memória junto daqueles que virão depois deles.
Eu, o Eclesiastes, fui rei de Israel em Jerusalém.
Apliquei o meu espírito a um estudo atencioso e à sábia observação de tudo que se passa debaixo dos céus: Deus impôs aos homens esta ocupação ingrata.
Vi tudo o que se faz debaixo do sol, e eis: tudo vaidade, e vento que passa.
O que está curvado não se pode endireitar, e o que falta não se pode calcular.
Disse comigo mesmo: eis que amontoei e acumulei: mais sabedoria que todos os que me precederam em Jerusalém. Porque meu espírito estudou muito a sabedoria e a ciência, e apliquei o meu espírito ao discernimento da sabedoria, da loucura e da tolice. Mas cheguei à conclusão de que isso é também vento que passa.
Porque no acumular de sabedoria, acumula-se tristeza, e como aumenta a ciência, aumenta a dor.
Aumenta a morte...
Repare que Nimr Hammad, conselheiro do Presidente palestiniano Mahmoud Abbas, responsabilizou exclusivamente o movimento islamita Hamas pelas mortes ocorridas em Gaza nos últimos dias e que já ultrapassam as 360.
Pois e...
Quem é Abbas...?
Os terroristas são e estão dos 2 lados, um é um estado feito por conveniências depois de correrem com os ingleses à bomba, os outros são movimentos controlados pelos sionistas para manter o estado de guerra.
Não serve a explicação pois, não?
Não é conveniente?
Vamos ver se a coisa entra nos eixos com respeito mútuo, com a crise americana.
Ms uma coisa são o movimento sionista internacional outra são os os judeus na sua grande maioria, os judeus do mundo , os outros são as vítimas da extrema direita que está em Israel e bem instalada nos USA, que costumava colaborar como os SS nos campos de extermínio, ou esta parte da história não existe?
Esta é uma história que só tem maus e bons?
O amigo do Irão diz que não.
