Yesterday, and as a result of Beit Hanoun massacre, some Palestinian militia retaliated by firing few home made rockets at Sderot and killed one Israeli women (first in more than 16 months). As 'retaliation to the retaliation', tonight Israeli Apache helicopters and F16 jet fighters launched air strikes at Gaza.
Of course there is nothing new in all of this, however, the new style that the Israeli army is using is the phone call the targeted houses before they hit them:
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): Hello, good evening madam. How are you doing? This is the "Israeli Army"
Palestinian mother: Yes, how can I help you?
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): Yeah… is your "terrorist husband" home?
Palestinian mother: No he is not
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): How about your "terrorist son"?
Palestinian mother: He is not here either
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): You are making it hard on us lady. Who is at home?
Palestinian mother: It's only me and my 5 kids. The 2 months old baby, my 2 years old son and 5 years old daughter and…
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): okay, okay.. that's great… you have a big family and they all are possible future "terrorist". Well, they will make good subject for tomorrow morning "news headlines"…
Palestinian mother: What are you talking about?
Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA): Lady! You have only 5 minutes left before your home is bombed!… Have a nice evening, and "GOOD NIGHT"…. "tooooooooooooooooot" (hanged up)!
The phone calls are made minutes before the strike takes place and of course the Israelis later claim that they warned the residents of the home (so that they are not blamed when killing civilians, hehe… As if attacking these homes are legal or moral in first place).
Oh… let's look at the positive side of it… the families of the five house were 'phone called' so that they are not slaughtered while 'sleeping like Beit Hanoun massacre'. It looks that Palestinian families should from now on keep dressed up so that they don't run out from strikes in Pajamas and they should keep their bags ready all the time!

Sweet sweet propaganda. doesn't matter which side does it. it's still not honest.
of course no one will see this comment. i'm sure you must go through and delete hundreds of others.
This is no manner to wage war!
Thanks for the information, Haitam.
Compassion for all the Palestinian Innocents.
A word to John Doe … why do you think Haitham would delete your comment and with that the an opportunity to let you discredit yourself?? Sure NOT!
Your "sweet sweet propaganda" is totally out of context as the atrocities which occured, executed by the IOF, are in NO NEED whatsoever of ANY propaganda but speak VERY loudly for themselves! Only someone who has lost any kind of "human feeling" and with that the necessary compassion, does overlook or simply not understand that. Imagine yourself for a moment in this situation, having been made refugee already once .. YOU get a call in the middle of the night and are told, in five minutes ALL you have will be gone, you won't have a home anymore and most likely not know where to go thus being made a refugee a second time … HOW WOULD YOU(!) FEEL???? Do you assume for one moment, these people feel differently?? IF - you better start all over and think again!! They are human beings like ALL of us, feel the SAME pain, have the SAME wishes and aspirations, the SAME urge to live in peace and freedom - and suffer JUST the way ALL OF US suffer when having lost a loved one! In other words .. we are them - and they are us!
Just a note on the sideline … I do not shy away to write my name and show my face writing my comment and standing up for what I believe in but "guts" doesn't seem to be everyone's thing!
Karin,
Don't waste your time, I enjoy comments such as john doe's because they show how ignorant and how inhuman some people can be.
john doe can be one of those living on my occupied land and feels guilty of what he and his elected terrorist government is doing. In fact he might be afraid that one of these Qassam rockets falls on his head, and I don't blame him if he is scared, he should, anyone in his place will be, but it shows that these people are left with nothing to justify their crimes against humanity and Palestinians, so when they see the true picture of their crimes, they panic.
Anyway, what is wrong with propaganda? Up to my knowledge, until this moment, it is not a crime, but killing innocent civilians is and Israel is still not put into justice for their crimes, thanks to USA.
You know, we have a saying in Arabic which translate to:
"Those who live in glass-made houses should not throw stones on others."
Here again we hear France/Spain/Italy proposed a peace plan for the conflict. Who like to bet that Palestinians will accept it and Israel will reject?
It is funny how my comments on Israeli news websites never get published since they are anti Israel, but still people complain about their comments getting published here!

Israel prevents its war crime witnesses from meeting UN committee
Algiers, Nov 16, IRNA
Israel-War Crimes-Witnesses
Head of a Fact Finding UN Committee commissioned to survey the dimensions of Israeli war crimes in occupied territories was not permitted by Israeli officials to meet victims of those crimes in Gaza.
(
And now the EU plan is almost word for word what the Arab League plan was. The wake up call needs to go out to my own Zionist government here in the US. Facts speak for themselves. Humans are humans wherever they may be. Laws are laws for ALL parties and no one is either "chosen" or "above the law". A big stick does not make you superior, it only makes you despised by all. And Americans say they hate us for our freedoms? They hate us because of our support of ALL of these things the Zionists have done AND are doing right now, this moment, NOW. As Americans go about their workday, around the world with OUR weapons, OUR financial aid and OUR condoning and thwarting of the peace process, bombs are destroying lives. What is the bedtime story Palestinian children hear before they go to bed at night? Palestine is STILL the issue and forever will be until it is free. America WAKE UP!!! You have been totally duped and controlled by a force which does NOT have your best interest at heart for YOUR children who will be facing this same problem of hatred. But you know what, it shouldn't be because it is not good for America to support this, it should be because it is not good for HUMANITY to support this. So America, once again, WAKE UP and for once, STAND FOR WHAT YOU SAY YOU DO!!!
Haitham, It is also a NA saying.
How about "those who want to turn right should check the road because it might go left".
John doe is a rascist and doesn't deserve a comment. There a too many of them in the US. They are called Bush Lovers. And I thought Bush was against gays!
Robin,
Speaking of "Wake Up America", my dear friend Sarah Meyer from UK has complied an excellent post with the titled "Palestine: Wake Up America". It is worth reading and spreading.
Her post was also published at
http://www.brusselstribunal.org/MeyerPalestine.htm
(Thank you for the link Haitham, it's a good one for sure and I will spread it.)
For me, it's not at it's core about the "information". It is at it's core a denial of the basic human rights of the Palestinians which is manifested in the "information". One should not need to see or meet Palestinians or "walk in their shoes" or live amongst them to KNOW that they are human beings just like we Americans are. Why do I or others even have to excert that in the first place? Why do you and your fellow Palestinians have to fight, argue, post horrendous pictures of fact, plea, welcome NGO volunteers just so that we here in America might see you as our equal human beings with the same desires to get up in the morning to look forward to the day, go to school safely, have safe unrestricted freedom of movement, be able to work for a living and buy property, marry freely and grow old together, have a safe neighborhood to reside in, have friends to enjoy company with safely, have your own nationality to claim and be able to live there, know your home is not possibly going to be destroyed, live as uprooted refugees, go to bed safely at night and most importantly have the same hopes and desires as we do here in the US? For the last 30 years I have been trying to explain to people what this is all about and that there are no differences in our humanities but WHY should I or anyone have to do this in the first place? I have not been to Darfur and walked in their shoes and I have no need to go there to know that they are just like us in their human needs. As this latest crisis has arisen I have found it VERY difficult to cope with as an American. I was going to say that Zionism stole my country and that is the problem. But even that is not true completely. Zionism only "piggy-backed" on to the general manifest destiny imperialistic ideology of most Americans and that is I believe one of the main reasons it has been so successful in garnering the public's support here. Without the American psyche accepting the human rights and needs of the Palestinians (and others as well) as being the same as ours there will be no chance for us to support a peace process fairly which we COULD do if only we practiced in deed what we claim in hypocracy. May God bless these people and let them sleep safely through the night just as I expect to be able to do myself.
Did you know muhammed had a 9 year old wife? That piece of crap was a damned child molester. Israel existed far before you muslim pigs invaded. So, you get the fuck out of there. Islam and muhammed are nothing but evil. I bet muhammed even liked little boys. Damn, wish I could post a little drawing of that perv muhammed. Ha ha ha ha, stupid palestinians. Guess you can tell I don't like you huh?
Notaraghead,
Thank you for giving the world an example of whom we are dealing with, Zio-Fascist.
I will not answer a word from what you said because they are not worth the bandwidth. You ARE spewing "bigoted, pro-Israeli, anti-Muslim propaganda". You are peddling Zio-Fascist hate. Like Nazis did against the Jewish people. You are now doing the same evil thing against the Muslims and Palestinians. Well, NO MORE, not on this blog.
You come back, and I'll delete your "comment" ENTIRELY as fast as I see it. For this one time your evil words will be left BARELY visible so that our general readership can see why you have been banned.
