A landmark meeting between Catholic officials and Muslim scholars

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A landmark meeting between Catholic officials and Muslim scholars that aims to spur dialogue between Christianity and Islam is planned to take place in Rome this spring, a senior Vatican official said. The most senior official in the Vatican after the Pope said he hopes to meet Cuba's acting president Raul Castro during a February visit to the island.

Nablus Governor Jamal Mohsein says "every decision we made has been carried out.

IDF forces operating in the West Bank city of Nablus discovered on Thursday two Kassam rockets which were near completion, Army Radio reported. According to the report, the Kassam rockets were found inside a weapons laboratory which appeared to be designated for the production of such rockets. A report said there have been attempts to transfer rockets and technology to the West Bank, and that the organizations were being assisted by Iran and Syria.

PA security forces restore public order in turbulent Nablus.
The market stalls that clogged the streets have been removed by the Palestinian police. The security forces have managed to root out a phenomenon that was common in Nablus - stolen vehicles; Police are seen on almost every street spot-checking vehicle licenses.

Most of the Fatah gunmen have surrendered their weapons to the security forces. Some have even joined them. On Tuesday, two high-ranking activists wanted by the Shin Bet security services, Sufyan Kandil and Ala Abuda, gave themselves up to the Palestinian Authority and are now in a Palestinian jail. Nowhere in the city, not even at the entrance to the Kasbah, could armed men be found who were not members of the Palestinian security forces.

Nablus Governor Jamal Mohsein says "every decision we made has been carried out. We united the security forces and ended competition among them. There is no more shooting off guns at weddings and funerals or at any other event. We confiscated 120 firearms from Hamas activists, along with explosives intended for attacks against Israel and the PA. Hamas has no more weapons in Nablus. We appointed new governing committees for all the charitable organizations that had operated under Hamas in the past, and they own numerous properties throughout the city, including hospitals and buildings. But the bottom line is that for this trend to continue, the peace process has to move forward," Mohsein says. Nablus intelligence chief Abdullah Kamil says a strategic change is taking place in the region. "We thwarted Hamas' plans, of which we have proof, to take over the PA institutions in the city and make another revolution. We found dozens of weapons in their possession and some of the most dangerous explosives intended to thwart the peace process. Our goal was to strike at Hamas militarily and then deal with criminal problems and we have done so. We have disarmed Hamas, we have hit them hard, and today they cannot rehabilitate their infrastructure. Even in Israel, they are surprised at our success." We also stopped attacks by other organizations, Kamil said.

Palestinian security forces uncovered a Hamas bomb-making laboratory in Nablus a week ago, where 33 kilograms of mercury and other materials used to make bombs were found, Palestinian sources said Thursday. The bombs were to be used against Israel but also against Palestinian Authority targets, the sources said. The hazardous materials were found in a building Palestinian intelligence believed was serving as a Hamas arms cache. In recent weeks the Palestinian security forces carried out a broad security operation in Nablus against Hamas networks. Several dozen Hamas activists were arrested, and most were released after they agreed to turn in their weapons and avoid any activities against Israel or the PA. The governor of Nablus, Jamal Muhaisen, said the PA has confiscated 120 weapons held by Hamas, mostly M-16s but also sniper rifles, Uzi submachine guns and others.

Again..Cooperation!

Olmert expressed willingness to move forward in negotiations with the Palestinians with the aim of reaching a final settlement to the conflict, and repeated Israel's commitment not to construct new settlements in the West Bank. Olmert stressed that the Palestinians needed to effectively deal with the "terrorist threat" from militant Palestinian factions and reiterated Israel's commitment "not to build settlements and not to expropriate land for the purpose of settlement construction," Regev said.

There is need for cooperation between Israel and Egypt! And not let ourselves be played out against each other like two "parents", while the "puppet-dolls-parade" claiming "victory" in their destabilization in Gaza and their abuse of Egypt's and Israels concerns for the Gaza citizens, while they gets 50 millions of dollars to go up in smoke from the Syrian "opposition" and the Gaza citizens living on aid and their "brotherhoods" demonstrating in Jordan and their supporters comes by for a visit telling us what´s important and not! And we can not expect the Palestinian authority to vanish extremists and militants working against their own people and peace in a week or two, while we ourselves not yet have manage to do that. The Palestinian authority needs support and time to get their own forces clear from infiltration and there must be cooperation!

And what's going on in Gaza and stranded Palestinians at the border is a direct consequence of Hamas and their supporters with Islamic-Suiciders, working against their own people and acting like idiots ready to be taken in! So don´t give us more blaming of which is what! As we know perfectly well which is what!

If there are any ones to blame for civilians death it´s Hamas and Syria´s "opposition" that supports them with millions of dollars, while Syria taking in weapon transportation's and sitting like psychopaths believing they manipulating the whole world and Iran´s stupidity with their Hari Krishna finger they have spread to youngsters that do not know anything about spirituality! And some idiot with the same finger named Qaida..Who the Hell is Qaida?

And we really don´t care of what Binyamin Netanyahu and rightists settlers thinks or says as we know it´s the Police forces and IDF that are working their a**** off while they are complaining and think they can go how far they want thinking they have some exclusive rights to be protected by others that put themselves to danger just because they says so! We have had enough of your propaganda's, your political games and your ways to just put down houses and your fences and don´t give a dam if there are Palestinians that are not militants but just ordinary people, and breaking human rights laws and just demands to be protected by your forces that have to put themselves to danger because you don´t give a dam! It´s a disgrace how you generalise the Palestinians and use your forces for your own needs!

Responsibility? WHICH are the TRUE oppressors?

And nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombings in Turkey?

Strange days indeed..Or maybe things are just going in the same old tracks they have done for decades..With such things as handle out "legitimization's" in some places and denying them on others. Caring for some peoples rights and denying others their rights. Breaking U.N. resolutions, occupying the occupied against the "occupiers" that comes from outer space and occupying for 29 years and keep doing that with a "longer arm", tapping chests at others "failures", destabilize to claim credit for "stabilizing", supporting idiots, claiming violence and destabilization is for "the Palestinian cause" and when it counts for something constructive and positive "for the Palestinian cause", it´s all about themselves. Claiming to care for militants human rights and talking about their own rights, while jailing human rights activists. Supporting terrorism and having terrorists meetings in a prostituted Damascus in the true spirit of a terrorist state..

Claiming theirs and the whole worlds problems is that there where Israelis as descendants from Noah! Trying to make us believe Israelis are "occupiers from outer space", while occupying a whole country and the people over the whole Middle East with their psychotic sick manipulations for decades! And while the Israelis keeps building walls as they have done for centuries, ever since they had nothing but stone walls to protect them with at the East side of the sea of the Galilee and the Syrians stood at the opening at Goush, where they killed youngsters in Hezekiah's Tunnel, which gave echo long time in history! Well..They shouldn´t have done that! Should they..And they keep use this walls as justifying violence and destabilization "for the Palestinian cause", because they lives and breaths on destabilization and don´t give a dam about others or the East side of the Sea of the Galilee! They just cares for standing like a giant to cast their shadow all over the region!

Sitting safe in a prostituted Damascus having terror meetings, tapping your chests, playing like snotty-nosed-kids and keep your psychotic manipulations all over the region and your sick projecting of your own behaviors on every one else, claiming it´s for the "Palestinian cause" and that your problem is that there where Israelis put on this earth, while you don´t give a dam about the Palestinians or the East side of the sea of the Galilee or anything else, while the whole world knows we doing both the Palestinians and the Lebanese and the whole region a favor if we take you and your terror nets down! You are not "whole men", claiming your problems is that there are Israelis on this planet! You are spoiled rotten snotty-nosed-kids that don´t give a dam about any ones else and you stinks!

Take your "opposition" that don´t know what they oppose and their invented "Qum program", and that serves no other purposes than to make the whole region suffer and go to Hell! Your country is ruled by a spoiled rotten snotty-nosed-kid, that don´t know what he´s doing and a "old guard" that keeps lying and manipulating like psychopaths even while the whole world sees through them!

And..Let´s take a look at Syria´s record..

If Nasrallah ever think of starting a war again to let the Lebanese suffer while he hides in Syria just as al-Sadr hides in Iran, the Lebanese and U.N. forces in the south should know they shall clean arias in the south very fast from people because there will be no "sensitive finger work" against Hezbollah again! They should know they will suffer a lot, while Nasrallah use his tunnels to sit safe in Syria! And Syria will not get away with anything but as everyone else have to stand for their own actions. It sure don´t look good..With postponed elections, a "opposition" that don´t know what they oppose and use terror. Attacks and murder of politicians and Syria supporting Nasrallah, breaking U.N. resolutions which talks about his wars and jail human rights activists. And it´s just where we stand at this very moment..You should know...Breaking U.N. resolutions, arming Hezbollah, having proxy wars, destabilize and make the whole region suffer because of own interests are crimes that qualifies for charges. Such a record..

Iranians to take part in the vote

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's top cleric told rival factions on Wednesday not to "destroy" each other in campaigning for March elections, expected to pit backers of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against more moderate politicians.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Iranians to take part in the vote for the conservative-dominated legislature on March 14, and said it could be the most important issue facing the Islamic Republic this year. But he told a rally in the central town of Yazd: "I strongly request all those who like different candidates not to show their support by destroying, insulting and accusing others.""Exposing the faithful to the danger of ruining their reputation ... in the press, and on Internet Web sites is not advisable," Khamenei told the crowd in a speech broadcast live on state television. Khamenei, Iran's highest authority, did not elaborate but appeared to be referring to a recent war of words between hardliners and reformists.

Share Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signaled on Tuesday Israel might share Jerusalem with the Palestinians in a peace deal, citing international pressure for compromise over the holy city. "The world that is friendly to Israel ... that really supports Israel speaks of the division of Jerusalem," Olmert said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.

*"Jerusalem shall be an open city. Within Jerusalem, irrespective of the resolution of the question of sovereignty, there should be no physical partition that would prevent the free circulation of persons within it". "Palestine and Israel shall be committed to guaranteeing freedom of worship and access to religious sites within Jerusalem. Both states will take all possible measures to protect such sites and preserve their dignity."
