Meshaal told the Palestinian daily al-Ayyam in an interview published on Monday continuation of a Western economic embargo of the Palestinian government and military actions by Israel would "give notice to a huge explosion that would not only affect the Palestinians but also the entire region, especially the Zionist entity."

Elections..
According to a Hamas spokesman, PA President Mahmoud Abbas does not have the full power to negotiate with Israel and Abbas' meetings with Prime Minister Olmert are 'pointless.' Furthermore, the spokesman said that Hamas will ignore any agreements reached between the two parties.

Alternatives..
EL ARISH, Egypt (AFP) - Hundreds of disgruntled Egyptian Bedouin ended a sit-in near the border with Israel Sunday following a deal with the authorities, a senior official said.
Just like with the Afghans in the puppy field and the Japanese hunting wailers, there are need for alternatives for a living and some social and economical structures. It´s probably the best way to give the people alternatives for a living to fight this drug cultivation in Afghan. And it´s the same with the Bedouins in Sinai. If they have better living conditions or other alternatives for a living, they would´t need to make money on smuggling and other criminal activities.

Talks about large-scale ground-invasion of the Gaza Strip
Meshaal has warned of the dangers of pursuing the economic and political blockade of the Palestinians, who are "on the verge of exploding." Palestinians fired a Kassam rocket into Israeli territory moments ago, sources said on Sunday evening, No casualties were suffered and no damage was reported. Hamas said on Sunday that its military wing plans to kidnap IDF soldiers if Israel decides to conduct a large-scale ground-invasion of the Gaza Strip. Spokesperson of the Popular Resistance Committees, identified as 'Abu Abir,' made the belligerent statements in response to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. -Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi's suggestion earlier Sunday to begin a large-scale ground operation in the Gaza Strip.
Ashkenazi, speaking at Sunday's cabinet meeting, said that sending in ground forces was the only means to stop the firing of Kassam rockets into Israel. In an interview with A Shams radio station, the spokesman said "we are waiting to meet the enemy in Gaza so that we can kidnap more soldiers. If the enemy comes into Gaza, he should be afraid, his Merkava tanks will turn to rubble." Earlier this week, the armed wing of Hamas, Izaddin Kassam, denied Israeli allegations that its members had planned to kidnap an IDF soldier on Independence Day. But Abu Lailah, who is a top political leader of Hamas, confirmed that his movement had plans to abduct soldiers.

What exactly does the Israelis mean by "winning a war"?

Iraq....a national reconciliation program
BAGHDAD - Coalition forces detained 72 suspected insurgents and seized nitric acid and other bomb-making materials during raids Sunday targeting the al-Qaida in Iraq network, the U.S. military said. The early morning raids occurred in Anbar province, a Sunni insurgent stronghold west of the capital, and Salahuddin province, to the northwest, the military said in a brief statement. The detainees included 36 suspected insurgents with alleged ties to al-Qaida in Iraq who In the Anbar province city of Karmah, 50 miles west of Baghdad, coalition forces found 20 five-gallon drums of nitric acid and other bomb-making materials, the statement said.
And how about that "turn in stashed weapons and get amnesty under the Iraqi government"?
Residents say that Shiite militias are slowly reappearing in Baghdad."They are still there," said Abdul-Qader Jamal, a Sunni Arab. "They're still roaming the streets with their weapons, launching attacks against security forces and threatening Sunnis. A meeting last month in Saudi Arabia, Arab states demanded Iraq change its constitution and its military to include more Sunnis and end the program that uprooted former members of Saddam Hussein's regime.
In June, al-Maliki announced a national reconciliation program that offers amnesty to members of the Sunni-led insurgency who are not involved in "terrorist activities," and amends a law that had removed senior members of Saddam's Baath Party from their jobs. But Arab countries say those steps were incomplete and never implemented.
The Iraqi Command of the Baath Party headed by Izzat Ibrahim Al-Duri, seen as a successor to Saddam Hussein in the leadership of the party, issued a statement announcing that 30 senior command members of the party have been expelled for attempting to divide the party, for contacting “foreign intelligence agencies,” and for “high treason” against the party and nation, Al-Badeel Al-Iraqi reported. Almost all of the members mentioned in the statement are currently residing in Syria, and are members of the Baath Party branch led by Mohammed Yunis Ahmed, a former Iraqi general wanted by the U.S. and the Iraqi government.

Same old tracks..
Egypt has tried to negotiate Shalit's release for months and has blamed Hamas for failing to conclude the deal.

You can as well admit it!
Nevertheless, he claimed that Hizbullah anyway had "more information about the IDF that it could have ever dreamed of."
Well...That should be enough.. just to have the knowledge of how much information Hezbollah have...
Or you would really have come further than: "I do not know anything but I know how much others know"! Eh? Uh..

No one want to be dependent on Syria!
No it´s not okay for us..And it really should not be okay for the Security Council to take any considerations of Syria's threats on Lebanon to make a mission that would help stabilize the region. With Hezbollah that openly says that they are rearming. It would not look so good for the U.N. to look another way with the consequences of Hezbollah and Syria's participation to make the whole region unstable in mind, because of Syria´s low disgraceful threats. Would it? Specially after they said they "just wait for the U.S. to pull out from Iraq, so they just can walk into Palestine"..No...It would not look so good to take any consideration of Syria´s threats..I´m sure Lebanon would prefer having a ruff time financially and still working on to get Lebanon on it´s feet's again, than to pay the price of war, destruction and death because of Syria´s little Hezbollah's! Yes..Lebanon you should do some business with Israel and other countries, instead of your ugly neighbour Syria, with their threats. Yes there should be some participation to liberate Lebanon financially from Syria..No one want to be dependent on Syria!
Saudi Arabia arresting more than 170 suspects
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Friday it foiled an al Qaeda-linked plot to attack oil facilities and military bases, arresting more than 170 suspects, including some trainee pilots preparing for suicide operations. The Interior Ministry, in a statement read on state television, also said police seized weapons and more than 20 million riyals ($5.33 million) in cash, from seven armed cells. "Some had begun training on the use of weapons, and some were sent to other countries to study aviation in preparation to use them to carry out terrorist operations inside the kingdom," the statement said. "One of their main targets was to carry out suicide attacks against public figures and oil installations and to target military bases inside and outside the country," it added.
"Because we are the "old guard" and we have done this for 40 years!"
"We lost the Golan's because we let people suffer! Let´s keep terrorise the whole f**** Middle East and let people suffer! And anyone that dears to say something goes to jail! Or will have to serve our interests! And we will speak for everyone on this earth because we decides that everyone have to think the same as us"!
Because we are the "old guard" and we have done this for 40 years! Or was it 60 years..Or thousands of years..back then..When you poled and skinned people..Yes..It really suits you to have half the Palestine living as refugees in your country! Doesn´t it? Brainwashed little helpers-small fire-bombs-all tied up to Syria! What would you do without them? Against the "occupiers", that you lost Golan fair and square in a war you declared after 16 years of terror! So it´s just to count isn´t it? 16+40+ and couple of thousand of years before that!

A Palestinian security officer was shot dead by gunmen
GAZA CITY (AFP) - A Palestinian security officer was shot dead by gunmen on Friday after their relatives were told to wait in line at the border terminal between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, medics and witnesses said. Abdelrahman Abu Teir, 24, sustained fatal wounds and four other Palestinians were also wounded in the shootout. The assailants opened fire after security officers tried to stop their family members from barging straight into the terminal rather than queuing up like hundreds of other would-be travellers, witnesses said.
A member of the Fatah-affiliated Force 17 security force was killed and another three Palestinians were wounded on Thursday night in a gunfight in Ramallah. Israel Radio reported that the clashes erupted after the security force tried to arrest several members of a large gang in the West Bank city.
The humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories is deteriorating a lot," Louis Michel told a news conference as he continued the first leg of a regional tour. "I remember when I came one year ago in the region, it was already awful and difficult, but now I think it is deteriorating."

Psychopaths..
According to the radio, Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustaqbal quoted a Palestinian source as saying that the military wings of the factions rejected the Egyptian delegation's request for calm. The Hamas military wing Thursday also warned Israel against any military action in Gaza. "The Zionist enemy should understand that any thought of raiding the Gaza Strip will open the gates of hell and hundreds of rockets will be launched against [the southern Israeli towns] Sderot and Ashkelon and beyond," said a spokesman for Iz a Din al-Kassam.
Youssef al-Qaradawi and Assad´s little helpers...Parrot-clan..Doing what they have done for 40 years..Destroying peace in the whole region and make the Palestinians suffer more and more.. A Lebanese newspaper..yes you are exactly where they want you! Ain´t you? Somehow..it all sounds so familiar.. No...we should probably not pay to much attention of this..We need to think about the Palestinians and the peace process! So give that parrot some bisque's so the rest of us can have some rest!

No wonder..
Gaza Strip could have flourished following the disengagement but instead it was turned into a "nest of terror" by Palestinians.
When people work against a united government and pulls the strings" to work against peace! And Hamas are to busy repeating Assad in Damascus and careers instead of caring of the Palestinians and the conditions in Gaza! And it wouldn´t be a surprise! With "little red Baghdad"-roads-to-Damascus-Palestinians on the boarder to Iraq! Well..We have seen this before! Haven´t we?
So it´s about time Israel realize that the conditions in Gaza effects you as well! This are the neighbours you suppose to work for peace with! So stop acting if they lives in another dimension in Gaza! No..It doesn´t work with:
"We have left Gaza.. it´s not our problem or caring anymore"!There are "ordinary people" and children living in Gaza..this "nest".. and God knows they need both Israel and the rest of the world!

"If there is a partner for peace on the Israeli side to negotiate with us without conditions, we are ready," Mansour said.
You let the Palestinians in from the boarder to Syria in to Palestine/Gaza!
There are about 15.000 Palestinians in Iraq! And 1.200 of them on the boarder to Syria! And then...They maybe should have new elections in Palestine with Hamas that don´t give a damn! Having their roads to Damascus and Syria! And "Little red Baghdad" without schools and Internet!

Palestinian armed factions renewed their commitment to a Gaza Strip truce
GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian armed factions renewed their commitment to a Gaza Strip truce on Thursday but said rocket salvoes from the territory could resume if Israel did not halt military operations in the occupied West Bank. The message was delivered to Israel by an Egyptian mediator who has been trying to prevent a major confrontation after Hamas's armed wing fired rockets and declared the Gaza truce dead on Tuesday, Palestinians familiar with the talks said. The envoy, Major-General Burhan Hammad, "informed the Israelis of the new commitment by the factions and at same time stressed that factions demanded the calm be reciprocal and simultaneous, covering Gaza and the West Bank," a source said.
Fire broke out at a camp for Palestinian refugees
DAMASCUS (AFP) - Three people were seriously injured on Syria's border with Iraq as a fire broke out at a camp for Palestinian refugees from the violence-plagued country, the UN refugee agency said on Wednesday. The Palestinian Red Crescent "treated three refugees for severe burns and 25 refugees, mostly children, for smoke inhalation and minor burns", the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a statement
This is an example of how inappropriate and dangerous this place is for refugees to lives. It underlines the need to move these people to an appropriate and safe place," said Laurens Jolles, the UNHCR's representative for Syria. The agency said at least 186 Palestinians had been confirmed murdered in Baghdad between April 2004 and January 2007, a figure which it fears could be much higher. Hundreds of Palestinian families have been evicted from their homes and the estimated 15,000 Palestinians still living in Baghdad are considered at high risk, it said.
The UNHCR said at least 1,200 Palestinian refugees are stranded at the Tanaf and Al-Walid camps on Syria's border with Iraq.

Demonstrations were planned in Baghdad to condemn the wall
An al-Sadr aide, Sheik Salah al-Obaidi, told reporters in the Shiite holy city of Najaf that other demonstrations were planned in Baghdad to condemn the wall. He said that if security permits, al-Sadr's followers would like to join Sunni demonstrators in Azamiyah.
The barriers are specifically designed to bring stability and security to Iraqis and to protect them from violence perpetrated by terrorists and militias..They are being put up to protect the Iraqi population by hindering the ability of terrorists to carry out the car bombings and suicide attacks that are taking the lives of innocent civilians.
Iraq's prime minister said Sunday that he has ordered a halt to the U.S. military construction of a barrier separating a Sunni enclave from surrounding Shiite areas in Baghdad after fierce criticism over the project at home. I oppose the building of the wall and its construction will stop," al-Maliki said during a joint news conference with the secretary-general of the Arab League. "There are other methods to protect neighborhoods, but I should point out that the goal was not to separate, but to protect."
The Sunni Iraqi Islamic Party had denounced the wall's construction earlier Sunday. "Isolating parts of Baghdad with barbed wire and concrete barriers will inflict social and economic damage and it will lead to more sectarian tension," it said. "This measure will harm the residents and it will have a negative impact on the areas instead of solving the problems."

And...
Have you made those reforms in your schools, to teach your children to live in peace with their neighbours and in the world as the convention of the Children's rights says yet? Anyone of you? And it´s not enough to teach your children to live in Peace with their neighbours..As we know..children does not always do as you says..They most certainly do what you do..So get a grip on yourselves! There are small eyes watching you!
And Hamas ...or the President in the movement in the government..It´s really about time to make up your mind what you are going to be called. And the U.N.´s convention of human rights and children's rights is not to be used as it suits you to be used in one moment for you own purpose and the next totally ignored and used in the right opposition! You have also responsibility and are obligated to follow those conventions! You should be reported and put into trial for teach your children "jihad"-small-fire-bombs!
Gousch!

Or the "movement" in the Palestinian government. You really need to start act as a government and not a movement! And stop blame the Israelis for your short comings to work for reforms and get your security forces together. As we all can see what problems jihad militants and Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, and factions, "movements and wings" are causing both the Palestinians, the Israelis and the peace process! And wake up and realize that the pullout from Gaza was not a "victory" achieved to keep achieving "victory´s" . For God´s sake...Grow up!

Raids doesn´t mean you have the right to throw out people on the streets
Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh told Israel Radio that he is opposes a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip as well as a reoccupation of the Philadelphi Route, which runs along the border with Egypt.
Now you stop this demolishing.. And get together with Abbas and help secure the boarder to Egypt and to get stability in Gaza! For your neighbours and your own good! Yes..it´s you neighbours that have had their Internet cafe´s and shops bombed..Just as in Baghdad..you protect yourselves, but you need to think further.
And just because you do this raids in the West Bank against bomber makers and militants it doesn´t mean you have the right to throw out people on the streets and demolish houses. And just because there are some people working against the Palestinians coalition and some Hamas people, it does not mean you have the right to destroy the land in the West Bank. It does not mean you have rights to do whatever you want in the West Bank.

Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were lightly wounded on Tuesday as they attempted to prevent protestors from reaching the ruins of the evacuated settlement Homes.Hundreds of settlers have managed to make their way to Homesh, mainly by taking shortcuts or by bypassing roadblocks set up by the IDF in the area. Demonstrators began their march from the settlement of Shavei Shomron in the West Bank to the ruins of the settlement of Homesh at 11am on Tuesday. The march is meant to commemorate the former settlement, evacuated as part of the Gaza Disengagement in the Summer of 2005. Among the participants seen leaving Shavei Shomron were four busloads of Likud activists.
Likud´s...yes your own "movement wing"..Isn´t it? Politicians making careers sucking every inch of your Prime Minister and just as some other "wings" showing their disrespect to the whole world that is working hard! Well..We should put all "movements and wings" out on a island where they can dig tunnels and build walls how much they want! Instead of dissing the whole world!
Now you stop this demolishing and wall building in the villages in the West Bank! Or you are signaling the same as some "movements" to the rest of the world, working for peace and solutions: Disrespect!

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, a member of Hamas, said, "We made great efforts at keeping the truce and there was a positive Palestinian position, but unfortunately this position was met by expanding Israeli aggression and escalating it against the Palestinian people," according to The Associated Press.

The government reiterates its desire that the calm continue
GAZA (Reuters) - "The government reiterates its desire that the calm continue and be preserved in the way that achieves the national interests of the Palestinian people," government spokesman Ghazi Hamad said. The Hamas-led Palestinian government issued a statement calling for both sides to honor the ceasefire.
Hamas's armed wing declared an end to a five-month-old Gaza ceasefire on Tuesday by firing rockets into Israel, but the Palestinian government led by the Islamist group called for the truce to be restored. The Hamas movement, which leads the Palestinian government, also blamed Israel for the breakdown in the truce but stopped short of formally declaring it over.

Objection!
A spokesman for Hamas' armed wing said the group considered the truce to have ended. "The cease-fire has been over for a long time, and Israel is responsible for that," the spokesman, told the Voice of Palestine radio station. "This is a message to the Zionist enemy that our strikes will continue, We are ready to kidnap more and more, and kill more and more of your soldiers."
Well..We don´t agreed on that because the Israelis has been under attack the whole time other have peace meetings! Just at the the very same time politicians from the whole world have meetings, there are people firing rockets! So no..you talking bullshit! And we all have sen where your "ways" leads to! You have done this for ages and have not achieved anything more than suffering for the Palestinians! So you: Shut up! I talk-You listen! Stupid!

Would you just like to keep us informed what happens and let the government people speak..The ones that matters! Thank you! No..I will not waste more time commenting 280 "movements"! Well..It´s obvious isn´t it? And the Internet cafe´s are destroyed..There are people working on this prisoner swap so why does this morons have the opportunity to even speak in the media? Just keep your Palestinian citizens on a safe distance from this idiots!

"Abandon the path of violence and seek the well being of their own societies."
Knesset Speaker and Acting President Dalia Itzik called Thursday on Israel's enemies to abandon the path of violence and seek the well being of their own societies. "We hear the sharpening of swords and voices of war from near and afar. In distant Iran, in nearby Syria, in the Palestinian Authority at out doorstep, there still reside fiery zealots of hate-ridden leaders that believe in their ability to harm the state of Israel," Itzik said in her speech, adding that "the citizens of Iran, Syria and the Palestinian Authority should think twice about why they are so thirsty for battles and blood.
"Our advice to you is replace your Katyushas and Qassams with computers and loving education, the smile of a boy that has a future, and neighborliness," Itzik said.

"A man has passed away thanks to whom a whole new epoch was born," said Putin
"A man has passed away thanks to whom a whole new epoch was born," said Putin, "A new democratic Russia was born, a free state open to the world. A state in which power truly belongs to the people."
"I express the very deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, on whose shoulders rest major events for the good of the country, and serious mistakes,"
Mikhail Gorbachev said.
Bush's predecessor Bill Clinton, who met Yeltsin more than 15 times as president,
called him a friend and added: "Fate gave him a tough time in which to govern,
but history will be kind to him because he was courageous and steadfast
on the big issues: peace, freedom, and progress."
"President Yeltsin was a historic figure who served his country during a period of momentous change," US President George W. Bush said in a statement."He played a key role as the Soviet Union dissolved, helped lay the foundations of freedom in Russia and became the first
democratically elected leader in that country's history."
Yeltsin had the distinction of being Russia's first democratically elected head of state, and the first Kremlin leader to step down voluntarily. Born into a poor peasant family in the Ural mountains, Yeltsin grew up in one room of a wooden hut. He rose through the Communist ranks and was handpicked by Gorbachev to be party boss in Moscow. Once there, the charismatic and bear-like Yeltsin emerged as a leader of a growing rebellion against Communist rule. He was elected president of Russia, still inside the Soviet Union, in a landslide.
In August 1991,a clique of hardliners tried to stage a coup to halt Gorbachev's perestroika reforms, holding Gorbachev captive. Yeltsin, in perhaps his finest moment, climbed onto a tank outside government headquarters to rally the crowd against the plotters. Four months later, he sat down at a Soviet hunting lodge in a forest in Belarus to signed an agreement dissolving the Soviet Union. He and his fellow signatories rang then-U.S. President George Bush with the news, and only then told Gorbachev. A triumphant Yeltsin became president of
independent Russia and launched a breakneck campaign
to dismantle Communism.

Far-reaching compromises
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert marked Israel's Memorial Day for fallen soldiers Monday with a new call for peace with the Palestinians, saying his country was prepared to make "far-reaching compromises" and "very painful concessions." Speaking at a nationally televised ceremony, Olmert said the country owed it to its fallen soldiers to continue "the vital effort to achieve the peace we long for" and to "seriously consider every diplomatic initiative." The 22-country Arab League recently renewed a five-year-old initiative offering Israel peace with the Arab world in return for giving up all the territories it captured in the 1967 Mideast war. The plan also calls for a solution for Palestinian refugees and their millions of descendants. Olmert has welcomed the Arab plan as a basis for negotiations.In his speeches, Olmert also mentioned possible prisoner swap deals for the release of an Israeli soldier held by Hamas-linked militants in Gaza and for two others held by Hezbollah. He said freeing the soldiers was deeply important, but Israel would not repeat previous mistakes by releasing violent prisoners who then carried out more attacks against Israelis.
Well...Let´s hope the Israelis gets together and leave some strength to peace efforts..And letting houses stand where they are should not be so much concessions..And let´s hope that "The father of parrots", "the founder of the parrot-clan" is as much for far-reaching compromises!

Palestinian Interior Minister Hani Kawasmeh submitted his resignation
Palestinian Interior Minister Hani Kawasmeh submitted his resignation during a cabinet meeting Monday, citing a lack of progress in carrying out his new plan to bring law and order to the chaotic Palestinian territories. But Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh refused to let him step down, senior officials said. Palestinian government spokesman Ghazi Hamad said Kawasmeh has agreed for now to remain in the post so that Haniyeh can discuss the matter more fully with Abbas.
Now you stop this repeating like a parrot and this "movement" "occupiers" "reistance"..talking and do as they need to do in Iraq. Ruling a government for the people and a united nation and not for "movements" enclaves, groups, or...whatever..

Boris Yeltsin passes away..
MOSCOW - Boris Yeltsin, who engineered the final collapse of the Soviet Union and pushed Russia to embrace democracy and a market economy as the country's first post-Communist president, has died, a Kremlin official said Monday. He was 76. Kremlin spokesman Alexander Smirnov told The Associated Press that Yeltsin died, but gave no cause of death or further information.

A Palestinian taxi driver and a Lebanese soldier shot dead
Sidon, Lebanon - A Palestinian taxi driver was shot and critically wounded and a bomb exploded Monday in a southern Lebanese refugee camp notorious for lawlessness, Lebanese security officials said.

Clashes erupted in the village between the troops and stone-throwing Palestinian youth
Israeli forces shot and killed 16 year old Karim Zahran of 'Abud Village in western Ramallah under the pretext he intended to throw a bottle, earlier claimed to be incendiary.
RAMALLAH, IOF troops have shot and wounded on Sunday morning Palestinian minor, Kareem Salem Zahran and left him to bleed to death, Palestinian sources affirmed. Fierce clashes erupted in the village between the IOF troops on the one hand and stone-throwing Palestinian youth on the other hand, before Zahran was wounded in the abdomen. In spite of his intense bleeding, the Israeli occupation soldiers denied Palestinian ambulances access to Zahran and watched him bleeding till he succumbed to his wounds.
Meanwhile, IOA notified Palestinian citizens in the Barta'a village, southwest of Jenin city, of its intention to demolish a clinic, a school and a number of homes in the village in view of its proximity to the racist, separation wall.
Israeli forces will destroy six more Bethlehem homes. The Israeli Major General Yair Naveh issued notices to six citizens in Umm Salamuna Village in southern Bethlehem. Israeli forces occupying the West Bank are building the Wall straight through the village. This Israeli military leader claims he will destroy these homes due to a lack of permits required because they are in Area C since the days of Oslo. Chairperson of the Land Defense Committee, Khalid Al Azzeh, received copies of the notices from homeowners. He said that there is one month to appeal the decision, but it is back-dated to 10 April. So by 10 May something must change or the homes will be destroyed.
The weekly nonviolent resistance to the Wall and settlement expansion, although drawing some attention, is not stopping the Israeli policy of ethnic cleansing, which actions such as this illustrate. The houses are 500 meters from the Wall route where 1,500 dunams of land are being confiscated. One of the houses is home to 25 people, with several apartments built atop another. With six demolitions, hundreds of people will be rendered homeless.

Eight Palestinians were killed in a surge of fighting over the weekend
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas on Sunday called for new attacks on Israel after eight Palestinians were killed in a surge of fighting over the weekend. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum urged Palestinians to be prepared for a new round of confrontation. "The blood of our people is not cheap," he said in a statement faxed to The Associated Press. "Therefore we are calling on ... (Hamas' armed wing) and the Palestinian resistance groups to be united in the trench of resistance and to use all possible means of resistance and to respond to the massacres."
Ghazi Hamad, spokesman for Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, declined to comment on the Hamas statement issued Sunday, saying he had not yet read it. But he said the government "condemns the ugly massacres and crimes that reflect Israel's policy of military aggression."

Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians
NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians, at least five of them militants, over the weekend, in the most serious flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian violence in months. The deaths drew a threat on Sunday from a spokesman for Hamas, the Islamist group that heads the Palestinian coalition government, to strike back through "all means of resistance." In a raid on Sunday, Israeli troops surrounded a house in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, and shot dead two members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in a gun battle, local residents said. An Israeli military source confirmed that troops killed the two men, saying both were wanted over their involvement in planning attacks that included attempted suicide bombings in Israel.
Psychopath in Qatar?
Well...It should be al Qaradawi then..That says that Iran have much influence in Iraq and pressed for stop killings in the same sentence he calling for abduction and killing..And supports the Jihadists and attacks against Israel including civilians and that destroys condition for peace between Palestine and Israel and in the whole f****Middle East!
So where or what will you be on Judgment Day Youssef al-Qaradawi?
In the debate, Egyptian Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi pressed for a binding Shi'ite edict ordering Iraqi Shi'ite militants to refrain from violence. "I believe that Iran has the power and influence over much of what is happening in Iraq, which enables it to tell some people to stop (killings)," said Qaradawi who heads an umbrella group of Sunni imams. "This is the stance that can solve the problem, extinguish the fire and prevent a civil war ... in which we all would be loser and the only winners would be the American, the Zionists and the enemies of this Islamic nation.
Qaradawi strongly supports Palestinian attacks on Israeli targets, including against civilians and claim there are legitimate form of resistance. Qaradawi also claims that hundreds of other Islamic scholars are of the same opinion. Defending bombing against Israeli civilians Qaradawi told BBC Newsnight that:"An Israeli woman is not like women in our societies, because she is a soldier.""I consider this type of martyrdom operation as an evidence of God's justice.""Allah Almighty is just; through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak a weapon the strong do not have and that is their ability to turn their bodies into bombs as Palestinians do"."Everything will be on our side and against Jews on [Judgment Day], at that time, even the stones and the trees will speak, with or without words, and say: 'Oh servant of Allah, oh Muslim, there's a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
Qaradawi's alleged fatwa calling for abduction and killing of Americans in Iraq According to a translation which has not been disputed, Qaradawi issued a Fatwa following the invasion_of_Iraq 2003 and the wave of insurgents attacks against coalition forces saying"all of the Americans in Iraq are combatants, there is no difference between civilians and soldiers, and one should fight them, since the American civilians came to Iraq in order to serve the occupation. The abduction and killing of Americans in Iraq is a religious obligation so as to cause them to leave Iraq immediately. The mutilation of corpses however is forbidden in Islam."He, however, denies this, having "disowned" that which was said in my name in the media on the subject of the killing of American civilians in Iraq": "I have not published a Fatwa on this issue. At the Egyptian Journalists' Union a few days ago I was asked about the permissibility of fighting against the occupation in Iraq, and I answered that it is permitted. Afterwards I was asked concerning the American civilians in Iraq and I merely responded with the question – are there American civilians in Iraq? It is a matter of common knowledge that in Fatwas such as these I do not use the word "killing" but rather I say "struggle," which is a more comprehensive word than the word "killing" and whose meaning is not necessarily to kill. In addition, I have condemned the taking of hostages on a number of occasions in the past and have demanded that they be released and that their lives not be threatened." This alleged Fatwa raised a wave of reactions.
So where or what will you be on Judgment Day Youssef al-Qaradawi?
In the debate, Egyptian Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi pressed for a binding Shi'ite edict ordering Iraqi Shi'ite militants to refrain from violence. "I believe that Iran has the power and influence over much of what is happening in Iraq, which enables it to tell some people to stop (killings)," said Qaradawi who heads an umbrella group of Sunni imams. "This is the stance that can solve the problem, extinguish the fire and prevent a civil war ... in which we all would be loser and the only winners would be the American, the Zionists and the enemies of this Islamic nation.

The wall in Baghdad
BAGHDAD - A wall U.S. troops are building around a Sunni enclave in Baghdad came under increasing criticism on Saturday. The U.S. military says the wall in Baghdad is meant to secure the minority Sunni community of Azamiyah, which "has been trapped in a spiral of sectarian violence and retaliation.
This will make the whole district a prison. This is collective punishment on the residents of Azamiyah," said Ahmed al-Dulaimi, a 41-year-old engineer who lives in the area. "They are going to punish all of us because of a few terrorists here and there.""This is good if it is temporary, to help the area with security problems. But if this wall stays for the long term, it will be a catastrophe for the residents and will restrict our movements," said Ibrahim, an Azamiyah resident who works at the Interior Ministry.
Now...You should take the Community leaders and delegates from both the Shiite´s and the Sunni´s and have meetings with the residents and after that with government to contribute to stability. You can contribute, Yes you can..You know...Like "the good old days" when they gathered around the fire place to solve problems..you can make your own future.. "back to the roots" sort of say...

CAIRO, Egypt - Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf made a surprise offer in a television interview Friday to visit Israel and help mediate in the conflict with Palestinians. "It will be an honor, if I can contribute in any way," said Musharraf. "If there was a role that I can play, and both sides accept that role, yes, indeed, I would like to play that role." The Pakistani leader suggested that the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan will not be solved unless solutions for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are found first.

Help build nuclear power plants across Iran,
TEHRAN, Iran - An Iranian official invited Western nations Friday to help build nuclear power plants across Iran, reiterating his country's insistence on pursuing an atomic program as a European official said the two sides had agreed to discuss the standoff next week. The invitation is a test of the West's "good will" and could help restore Iran's trust in the West after subjecting Iranians to intense pressure to suspend nuclear work, Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh said.

"Children in Sudan continue to endure some of the most inhumane treatment found anywhere in the world," said Kathleen Hunt, chair of the Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict, on Wednesday. "Despite the end of the war in the south and recent signs of hope for a strengthened peacekeeping force in Darfur, many Sudanese children are not faring any better than they were four years ago," Hunt told a news conference on the report, compiled by six humanitarian organizations. In Darfur, most rebel and militia groups recruit children, including the pro-government Arab militias known as the Janjaweed, the rebel Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudan Liberation Army. While reports of rape and maiming are prevalent in Darfur, Sudanese girls from other areas have been forced into prostitution or into domestic service in and out of Sudan.

Reservoir risk flood newly discovered antiquities
TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian engineers began filling a new dam Thursday as archaeologists warned that its reservoir will flood newly discovered antiquities and could damage Iran's grandest site, the ancient Persian capital of Persepolis. At the inauguration ceremony, attended by Energy Ministry officials, pipes were opened for water to start flowing into an artificial lake created by the dam spanning the Sivand River, 520 miles south of the capital, Tehran. The lake's waters will be used to irrigate the area's farms.
Iranian intellectuals and activists condemned the Tehran government for going ahead with the dam, calling it a "stupidity." Archaeologists say flooding from the dam will submerge the Royal Passage, which linked Persepolis to Susa, two capital cities in ancient Persia, as well as some of the 130 ancient sites along the Tang-e-Bolaghi, a mountain path that crosses the Sivand River. There are also concerns that humidity, spreading through underground water from the dam, could damage nearby Persepolis.
There should be some other way to lead the water without destroying your heritage and treasury's from ancient Persia? Don't you value your history?

Out of time..
FALLUJAH, Iraq - Defense Secretary Robert Gates slipped into Iraq. Thursday to warn Iraqi leaders that the U.S. commitment to a military buildup there is not open-ended. Gates said the political tumult in Washington over financing the military presence in Iraq shows that both the American public and the Bush administration are running out of patience with the war.
Iraq are surrounded with people and their own interests. It´s time for Iraq´s neighbours to show that they care!
There is where the "clock have run out of time"!

1 reactor! One!Rice or reactor? Rice or reactor? Rice or reactor? Rice or reactor?
Maybe you should invite Iran in the discussion..
Very constructive Russia!
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has started building the world's first floating nuclear power station, officials said, a project anti-nuclear activists say is the most dangerous to come out of the atomic sector for a decade. Russia hopes to export the power plants for use in seas from the Indian Ocean to the Arctic. The first floating station is due to be ready in 2010 and there are plans to build six more. Russian officials say the stations are a safe way to supply power to desolate regions and the energy-hungry economies of Asia, Africa and Latin America without risking the proliferation of nuclear know how. President Vladimir Putin last year approved the biggest revamp of the Russian nuclear industry since the Chernobyl accident, which curbed the Kremlin's appetite for atomic energy. The explosion of reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine , then part of the Soviet Union on April 26, 1986, spewed radioactive dust over much of Europe.
"This is the most dangerous project that has been launched by the atomic sector in the whole world over the past decade," Ivan Blokov, campaign director of Greenpeace Russia, said. "It is scary as this is basically going to be a floating atomic bomb," he told Reuters.

Horrifying..
Yes it´s absolutely horrifying.. What more that is horrifying..Is that Syria said.."We can not control our boarder"..When they have weapons up to their teeth's..Now you go out and secure all the way from that "north tip" to your south! Or what good will all those weapons do, if you really should need to protect yourselves? And it´s sounds strange ...You have a well guarded boarder on your west but not on your east side? Now..you make some arrangement at your boarder to Iraq..
Or I will make you spin so you don´t know what is forward or backward!
Yes..There are a lots of roads that leads to Damascus!

And Israel will take care of their beduins..
They will not be pushed around anymore!
The Bedouin tribes in the Negev and the Sinai all trace their origins back to the Arabian Peninsula, somewhere between the 14th and 17th centuries. Most of these tribes have a history in the Arabian Peninsula that goes back more than 1500 years. This ancient pattern of tribes moving from Arabia into the Negev can be traced even farther back, to the Nabataean people. For many years, previous to 200 BC, the Nabataeans had slowly emigrated from their homeland in Arabia into the Negev.As far back as Gideon in the Old Testament, tribes came raiding from the desert. (Joshua ?:??)And so it is that the Nabataeans like the Arabian tribes before and after them, began to slowly move out of the Arabian Desert and into the Sinai and Negev region. Diodorus tells us that as far back as 250 BC, Nabataean villages had sprung up along the shores of the Red Sea, and at important oasis in the desert. These small settlements would eventually grow to become important trade cities, located along the ancient trade routes that crisscrossed the wilderness. As the Nabataeans moved from being a nomadic people to being civilization builders, they applied their skills in water collection, so that they could provide their caravan stations with water. These water systems were expanded as the caravan stations grew in size, and eventually became small cities in their own right.

"It will be a milestone in the common history of two Slavic nations," Poland soccer federation president Michal Listkiewicz said. Poland and Ukraine won the right to host the tournament in the first round of balloting, collecting eight votes to Italy's four. The Croatia-Hungary bid failed to win a single vote.

Moscow Bomb Blast Kills Businessman, Injures 4
(AP)- A bomb exploded on a central Moscow street on Wednesday, killing a businessman and injuring four other people, the office of Russia's chief prosecutor said. The explosive device, placed in a parked motorcycle, went off shortly before noon with the force of some 17 ounces of TNT, the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement. The blast occurred outside the office of a private company and killed the company's director, the statement said. Four people were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity. Deputy Moscow Prosecutor Alexei Grigoryev said the blast could have been the result of a business dispute, suggesting the victim may have been targeted in a contract killing. He said there was no evidence of terrorist intentions. An Internet business-information site indicated the company, Blagvest, is involved in trade. There was no answer at the phone numbers listed. Contract killings are common in Russia.

Reports of a significant decrease in the number of Qassam rockets
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday confirmed Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian Authority reports of a significant decrease in the number of Qassam rockets fired in the past few days. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas reached an agreement in principle with senior Islamic Jihad officials, whereby the organization would stop firing Qassam rockets at Israel for three weeks. IDF sources also confirmed there has been a sharp drop in rocket fire as a result of the agreement. Other attacks, however, such as sniper fire along the Gaza Strip security fence, have continued on a small scale.
Disappointed with the list of prisoners

More strong good moves from Sudan
The Saudi state news agency reported on Sunday that Sudan had signed a deal with the United Nations and the African Union on deployment of African and U.N. forces in Darfur, but gave few details. The United Nations said it had not yet received word. "We must move quickly to a larger hybrid United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force with a single unified chain of command that conforms to U.N. standards and practices," Negroponte said, speaking in the Sudanese capital. The official Saudi Press Agency reported Sudan had reached a deal with the AU and the United Nations for African and U.N. deployment, but it was not clear if this was an agreement to implement phase two of a three-phase plan for Darfur or approval of a larger force. Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir met U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Riyadh in late March, at which time Sudan agreed to the interim package.
Strong move by Muqtada al-Sadr
BAGHDAD - Radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his followers to withdraw from Iraq's coalition government on Monday, the head of his parliamentary bloc said. Al-Sadr's ministers will "withdraw immediately from the Iraqi government and give the six Cabinet seats to the government, with the hope that they will be given to independents who represent the will of the people," said Nassar al-Rubaie, head of al-Sadr's bloc, reading a statement from the cleric. Al-Sadr, has been upset about recent arrests of his Mahdi Army fighters in the U.S.-led Baghdad security crackdown. He and his followers have also criticized al-Maliki for failing to back calls for a timetable for U.S. troops to leave the country.
"I ask God to provide the Iraqi people with an independent government, far from (U.S.) occupation, that does all it can to serve the people," the statement said.
And that you don´t keep yourself and Iraqi people busy with violence. Yes...I look forward to see your political appearance. Maybe it will be easier for you to start practice that now, without incite violence.
Let´s start your political carrer, without weapons and violence!
You can be an example, for more to follow if you choose to..Let´s start your carrer..Congratulations!
