I saw on TV some injured people who came back from Egypt, and they were totally shocked with the very bad treatment there. The Egyptian police was threatening them to hit them on their injured organs or throw them to dogs if they don't tell them where Hamas hides its main leaders.
Btw, Haneya is somewhere in Syria no? I hear other important leaders are no more in Gazza. Don't know if that's true.

The funny thing is, its obviously dictatorship (even if the west led by US, have the nerve to call a democratic country run by a president...), so you cant really hold your average egyptian, who is totally sympathetic to Palestine usually, responsible for what those crooks of a govt do.

As I said it before, Mubarak is on overdrive being US's most anxious lapdog, because he needs their continued support even more to mkae his son his successor.
They can't arrest more, mate. It will make a bigger scandal for them inside Egypt. They are trying to put obstacles in front of anybody who tries to offer something to Gaza just to scare other people who think of doing that in the future.

So it is just a case of Egyption government protecting it's own interests then?

Doing enough to satisfy the US, while trying not to piss off it's own people (and much of the rest of the region?) too much.

    I don't think Haneya or Zahhar left Gaza, but I'm not sure.

    Fucking animals. Not suprising, but fucking animals still.

    That regime is really the worst regime in the region. Even worse than Israel. I don't blame Egyptian normal citizens, but rather the security forces who were always there to protect Israel from Egyptians instead of doing the natural job which is protecting Egypt from Israelis.

    Juve red: Either way, Egyptian govt is allways about protecting the interest of Mubarak, so its ALLWAYS a case of protecting its on ass, with little disregard to its citizens. And mostly its about obeying whatever the US says ofcourse, torturing whoever they want etc. Because they are the only reason, and only ones who enable them to stay in power (can never be a democracy aslong as they have US support).

    Only thing they care about the citizens for is to keep things in check as much possible with brute force, they can be outraged and riot now and then, so you can shoot them down, but never never cross the line totally, push or provoke them to a big frenzy or let people become that desperately helpless, or else not even the US can help them then. Then they would be playing into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, who cant have the people with them totally, otherwise they (govt, US) are fucked (Muslim brotherhood being the reason US support Mubarak, to keep "fanatics out of reach of influence", meaning, they can never a fair democratic election in Egypt. They tried to stop Hamas from being democratically elected the same way).

    For all those who understand Arabic, I couldn't leave this without posting it here. It's about two girls talking to each other after they were killed in Gaza:


    صباحاً: تنازعتا على سندويشة "الزعتر"، وتضاحكتا، ووخزت إحداهما الثانية في خاصرتها !
    ظهراً: تقرآن درس "الحساب" معاً، وتتراشقان بوسادتين !
    عصراً: تنامان كأي حمامتين ذبيحتين على وسادة معدنية في ثلاجة الموتى !!

    .. لم يصل بهما الحمار إلى أي مرفأ، ولم تمدّ المذيعة الحزينة كفّها من الشاشة لتنتشلهما من فم الموت، ..

    تقول الصغيرة للكبيرة : برد كتييييير يا هيا !! لماذا القبر هكذا بارد ويلمع مثل الحديد ؟
    - "لما" هذا ليس القبر يا حبيبتي .. هذه ثلاجة المستشفى ، التي كنا نراها على التلفزيون !!

    Any chance we can get a translation of it ?
    Well, it is so hard to translate it, Eddy, but I'll try to find somebody who may do it.

    It is so painful as it discusses the whole situation from the viewpoints of kids who had nothing to do with politics, and even though, they were shot dead.

    BBC refuses airtime to Gaza aid appeal


    The BBC has refused to broadcast a national humanitarian appeal for Gaza, leaving aid agencies with a potential shortfall of millions of pounds in donations.

    The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), an umbrella group for 13 aid charities, launched its appeal yesterday saying the devastation in Gaza was "so huge British aid agencies were compelled to act".

    But the BBC made a rare breach of an agreement dating to 1963, saying it would not give free airtime to the appeal. Other broadcasters followed suit. Previously, broadcasters had agreed on the video and script to be used with the DEC, to be shown after primetime news bulletins.

    The BBC, which has been criticised in the past over alleged bias in its coverage of the Middle East, said it did not want to risk public confidence in its impartiality. A BBC spokesperson said: "The decision was made because of question marks about the delivery of aid in a volatile situation and also to avoid any risk of compromising public confidence in the BBC's impartiality in the context of [a] news story."

    The DEC's chief executive, Brendan Gormley, said: "We are totally apolitical ... this appeal is a response to humanitarian principles. The BBC seems to be confusing impartiality with equal airtime."

    DEC appeals have recently raised £10m for the Congo and £18m for Burma.

    An ITV spokesman said the broadcasters, after assessing the DEC's needs, had been unable "to reach a consensus necessary for an appeal".

    Sky said: "By convention, if all broadcasters do not carry the appeal, then none do. The decision was effectively made for us."

    If enough fuss is made about coverage not being given by the BBC (read the UK government), the aid agencies could end up getting more attention than they otherwise would.

    I would think a lot of the newspapers will have run this story.

    So powerful...:tup: Redundant to say the world needs more people like her :tup:


    And its sad to know that Obama will probably do the absolute minimum to hold Israel responsibility, and wont just pat them on the back like usual.
    Credit to Rebel for calling it though. Even I was somewhat hopeful that Obama would "change" foreign policy for the sake of humanity, but I guess I forgot about AIPAC. What I am supposed to do? I guess deception is the rule of politics.

    So here we are, along with similar people in office. MAJOR let down. I know Obama could do better if it was not for the way my nation has been conditioned.

    Although I guess the bright side for you guys is that our problems will just get worse. Guaranteed.

    Dear respected Palestisraelis,

    Let me start by saying that I am fairly impressed by how so many, notably in the "West", seem to have a pretty partisan and definite opinion regarding the conflict that has been opposing you since, well, quite some time. "Israel is behaving just like Nazi Germany with the Jews! The repugnant irony of it all!". "Rubbish, the Pals have voted Hamas in, a terrorist group bent on annihilating Israel, and now the chickens have come home to roost!". "They're carpet-bombing them!". "Yeah but who's been Kassam-rocketing first?". Etc, etc, ad infinitum.

    Me, I am but an insular Westerner with a somewhat average intelligence, unable to pick a side. Im a dumb kuffar, a clueless goyem, so what Im about to say is in line with my condition I guess, but here it comes anyway : bollocks and more bollocks! This shit has nothing to do with missiles, Hamas, Israel, Palestine, various occupations throughout the ages, the Holocaust, the diaspora, 1948, the UN, the US, or any kind of religion or religious differences. Those are just a series of asides. The truth is, you'd be fighting no matter what. You've been at it for 5000 years or more. Since the second generation from your common ancestor, Abraham. You're all claiming retaliation. You're never going to stop, and you've managed to drag most of the world into your intrafamily squabble. See where Im getting at? No? Well then, allow me to rephrase, for the sake of clarity. In a nutshell, I guess that what Im trying to say, my dear Palestisraelis, is that....you're a bunch of fucking cunts.

    But guess what, cunts, I have a solution. "We" should just close that whole place off to human habitation and make everybody leave their weapons behind as they go. No excuses. No promises of "but we'll be good from now on!". No whining. No sympathy. No empathy. No right of return. No appeals. We'll just take away the frigging toy and stick you in your respective corners, like we'd do with children who refuse to play nice. We could even take it one step further and open a channel between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea. We could give it a flood of biblical proportions, see how long it takes to fill the whole area with water and then bring in the bulldozers to remove anything that's still above sea level. Come on, let's do this. I bet you the animosity in the rest of the region will grind to a halt too. It'll be a relief.

    To all the Palestinians and Israelis,

    Just get out! Go wherever you like, but go! You can't stay there. All the claims from the UN, the Brits, the Ottomans, the Pope, the Templars, the Romans, the Egyptians or God are forfeited due to stupidity, unwarranted arrogance, pettiness, and the fact that you're nothing but a bunch of cunts. Don't let the gate hit you in the arse, and good riddance.


    Sincerely,


    An insular Westerner etc.
