dear poly carper

your story about throwing fire bombs is an absurdity[as usual]

for a start if they were being thrown by a jew and i exterminated all the jews , who then changed their name to philisteens .or fatah, or hammaS ,your still advocating destroying A NAME

how many times has the name of you enemy changed
first [in recent history] it was the natzies, then the egyptians , the jordanians,the lebonese , fatah, haMAS, THE NAMES SEEM TO CHANGE BUT YOUR ACTS OF MURDER DONT

NO MATTER HOW MANY NAMES
YOU WILL BE ATTACKING A NEW NAME NEXT YEAR

the only constant is your govt creates a new enemy[name]
next iran right

then the greeks then russia
get it?
then the xtian GOYS
got it?

quote>>Notice how it works ?
"We will kill you wherever we find you''

yes we are getting it

Estimating the rights and wrongs of the Gaza invasion is like walking into a bar-room brawl and trying to decide which drunkard is responsible for all the black eyes and broken limbs.

Given that the Middle East is awash with violent religious cults and is stuck in a mindset that pre-dates the Middle Ages, I guess the region gets what it deserves - just like the drunkards with the black eyes and broken limbs.

Precision bombing,kills how many children?,poor kids victims of a terrorist Air Force,and no one it seems cares

"Surrender is the best and only option that 'Palestinians' must take:"

It is a common mistake here to assume that "Palestinians", with or without quotes, are a side to this conflict.

The poor Palestinians are incidental casualties, and this is very sad, because if only Israel and the Palestinians were left alone in the Middle-East, they would have resolved their minor differences long ago.

What we actually see today is how Iran, having vowed to obliterate Israel no matter what it takes (due to Israel's former close ties and support of the Shah!), is using both Hezbollah to the north of Israel and Hamas to its south, as its armed proxies. The weapons. money and instructions are sent from Teheran, causing Israel to suffer - and the Palestinians even more.

In past decades, it was the Arab, Suni countries that in their wish to obliterate Israel pushed the Palestinians into disaster after disaster, but in the 21st century, Arab countries (such as Syria, Saudi-Arabia and Lebanon) have become more rational, have grown out of such silly ideologies and are ready for peace with Israel. However, their place was taken up by Iran that dreams to control the whole middle east, and indeed, the whole world.

The poor Palestinians are not in a position to surrender because Hamas are pointing their guns at them and already killed many Palestinians that hinted at possibly opposing them. Once Hamas is gone, Palestinians need not surrender either, because nobody wishes them ill. On the contrary - once Israel is no longer in danger, it will gladly and peacefully give the Palestinians all they want.

For Israel, Palestinians are brothers: in fact, many of them are descendents of Jews that continued to sit on their land, but were forced to convert to Islam, mainly in the 8th century due to the high taxes imposed on non-muslims. Israel will happily welcome them back into its fold (I don't mean religiously - they can remain muslim if they so wish, it doesn't matter), but only once they do not foolishly side with its enemies.

I wonder if anyone has got any backing or correction of the following item please?

War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields

by Michel Chossudovsky, January 8, 2009

The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.

This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.

British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon's Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority.

The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 percent); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 percent); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 percent). (Haaretz, October 21, 2007).

The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.(Middle East Economic Digest, Jan 5, 2001).

The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. (See Map below). It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine.

The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine's gas reserves could be much larger.

Who Owns the Gas Fields

The issue of sovereignty over Gaza's gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to . .
