http://english. aljazeera. net/focus/ war_on_gaza/ 2009/01/20091410 2257130539. html

QUOTE
The Israeli offensive into Gaza now looks likely to
short-circuit any plans Obama might have had to press
Israel into withdrawing to its pre-1967 borders and
sharing Jerusalem.

Israel's successes in having Western media portray the
Gaza offensive as an 'anti-terrorist operation' will
also diminish hopes of peace talks any time soon.

Obama inherits this mess in a few weeks. During the
elections, Obama bowed to the Israel lobby, offering a
new US carte blanche to Israel and even accepting
Israel's permanent monopoly of all of Jerusalem.

As he concludes forming his cabinet, his Middle East
team looks like it may be top-heavy with friends of
Israel's Labour party.

Obama keeps saying he must remain silent on policy
issues until George Bush, the outgoing US president,
leaves office, but his staff appear happy to avoid
having to make statements about Gaza that would
antagonise Israel's American supporters.

Israel's Gaza offensive is also likely to torpedo the
current Saudi-sponsored peace plan, which had been
backed by all members of the Arab League.

The plan, now likely defunct, had called for Israel to
withdraw to its 1967 borders and share Jerusalem in
exchange for full recognition and normalised relations
with the Muslim world.

REUTERS

2.Israel and Hamas vow to fight on in Gaza

http://uk.news. yahoo.com/ 22/20090111/ tpl-uk-palestini ans-israel- c3c492c.html

I would like to know how Hamas is survivng this
onslaught.They have been bombed continuously for 16
day by air,sea and land.They have no aircraft with
which to intercept Israeli planes.They have no
anti-aircraft weapons.They have no radar.As far as I
know there has been no Israeli aircraft casualty.The
Palestinians have been bombarded from the sea.They
have no sea power.They do not have weapons that can
reach the Israeli ships.They have been shelled by
artillery.They have no artillery to respond with.They
have been shelled by tanks.I understand they have
ant-tank weapons and mortars,rockets and rocket
launchers and I expect,machine guns.

Someone has written that they have used their forces
selectively and conservatively. It also appears that
they might not have been taken as much by surprise as
some commentators had thought.

As it is,their,in my view,largely symbolic firing of
rockets into Israel has not stopped.The Israeli side
is facing a a critical challenge here.Their recent
warning that violence will escalate suggests
that,after two weeks ,they might be moving into phase
three of a struggle that began with massive
bombardment from the air,the land and the sea.The
second phase was committing ground troops, armoured
units and perhaps infantry,on foot.A third phase might
be to engage even more directly with their opponents
by the rugged urban fighting that some commentators
claim is the only way to complete the job of breaking
the will of Hamas or ending its fighting capability
and rendering it politically irrelevant .It would
seem that the unstated Israeli aim is to achieve this
so as to reshape the character of any future political
manoeuvres,making sure that a fait accompli is in
place before the new US President is sworn in.That
President Elect,anyway, has declared the usual US
determination to isolate Hamas,a resolve mentioned
again in the last week,in spite of his claim to desist
from speaking on the conflict because he has not
assumed office yet.It would seem that the rumours
that he wants to talk to Hamas forced his hand to
declare publicly against the possibility of such
sacrilege.

As it is,it would seem that the situation,to my view
and my hope,is fast rendering the US role in the
conflict of increasingly less relevance.A biased
arbitrator is worse than useless,he is dangerous.The
US continues to insist that it will not recognise or
even talk to Hamas until it recognises Israel's right
to exist,renounces terrorism and abides by all
previous peace agreements.Absolute bullshit,in my
view.
Israel is a geographical and racial anomaly that needs
to be rethought.Its presence can only be guaranteed by
accommodation and agreement with its Arab neighbours
not by force as has been the perspective that seems to
have been most relevant in its founding and
persistence. It is also fitting to ask,as someone has
suggested,what Israel should be recognised,since its
borders have unilaterally expanded since they were
drawn and imposed by the partition of Palestine and
subsequent founding of the state in 1948.My knowledge
of these issues is basic but I think and hope I am
not going too far beyond my competence to judge.

As for not using terror,I am opposed to suicide
bombing,a ,method used by Hamas in the past.It
devalues human life,to me.I understand the logic of
desperation and martyrdom that might fuel it but do
not identify with it,including its use in resisting an
occupier,as Israel is.But my opponent cannot be
armed,and continually rearmed and by you,the US and
you insist I should neither arm nor fight.Because any
action by Hamas,since its govt is unrecognised in
spite of its adherence to the holy grail of democracy
which was Bush's major and much abused ideological
tool,any combative actions by Hamas represent
terrorism.Of course,we must bot speak of similar
tactics used by the Zionist founders of ISRAEL in
their struggle for a state,Menachem Begin and the
Irgun,Yitzhak Shamir and the Stern Gang.

As for recognising past agreements,the justice of
those agreements is thrown in doubt by Jewish
observers and participants in the so called peace
process,by Americans and by Palestinians. I think the
whole thing should start afresh without US who has not
always been a non-partisan broker.

As it is,Hamas,if I'm reading the media and political
responses right,is winning that legitimacy for itself
by determined fighting.The US and its allies in this
can insist all they want but it seems they have been
checkmated by Hamas wisdom in participating in the
electoral process,an election they won,gaining a
mandate the West has tried to overturn without
success.Israel' s failure to wipe out these troublesome
pests who wont go away in spite of such terrible power
being directed against them also means that the US and
its ridiculous partisan policies represent wishful
thinking and little more.

The greater challenge for the Palestinians might not
be the Israeli barrage,which, in my view,has failed.It
is the question of how they are to move forward since
their elected government faces a challenge from the
rival Fatah who was encouraged by the West not to
accept the wishes of the Palestinians as expressed
through their own elections which brought Hamas to
power.

As it is,Israel is still locked in the colonialist
mentality.That mentality,however, .will be shaken if
Hamas does not capitulate decisively this week.The era
of Israeli absolute deterrence based on past victories
will be over.If you cannot flush out a guerilla army
in such a small strip of land,then perhaps you should
enter into discussions with them about mutual
accommodation.

Israel and rest of Middle-East as if there are no
other qualifying person out of 300 million poor souls
is available for that task, no matter how qualify
Kurtzer is, there is always a perception of favoritism
and that's not right for either Israel or US or the

QUOTE

Isolating Israel commercially is all well and good in
the unlikely, however noble event that the people
could bring it about. But what every Western
government has failed to say overtly, but whose
silence on the current matters has spoken (in
particular, the British and US veto on the first
United Nations resolution, and the US abstinence from
the vote on the second), is this:

That Israel's occupation, war crimes, collective
punishment policies, military and economic superiority
to all other Middle Eastern countries- is absolutely
in, will always be in, and has always been in, our
National Interests.

Until that long-held, 'vital' interest is altered
fundamentally, every citizens private protest will be
carried out in vain. Ever get the feeling you got born
having already lost the debate?
