Has anybody reflected on what may have happened in the world, when media have been all sucked up in Gaza? What has US government done in the meantime, when they don't even have the time to respond properly to this conflict...hmmm...

| Abbas blames Hamas for bringing Israel's wrath Sun Dec 28, 2008 11:02am GMT Email | Print | Share | Single Page [-] Text [+] CAIRO (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas blamed the rival Islamist group Hamas on Sunday for triggering Israel's deadly raids on Gaza by not extending a six-month truce with the Jewish state. Abbas, whose Fatah group has been at loggerheads with Hamas, said maintaining the truce could have helped the Palestinians avoid the Israeli raids, which killed more than 270 people in Gaza in the past two days. "We talked to them (Hamas) and we told them 'please, we ask you, do not end the truce. Let the truce continue and not stop' so that we could have avoided what happened," he said in Cairo. Fatah and Hamas have been at loggerheads since the Islamist group won parliamentary elections in 2006 and then routed Fatah's forces out of Gaza in June 2007. Abbas also blames the group for disrupting national unity talks that could pave the way for general and presidential elections. Israel said the raids which killed more than 270 people in the last two days were in response to Hamas's continued cross-border rocket attacks. Both sides trade the blame for violating, and then not extending the Egyptian-brokered truce, which expired December 19. Abbas, speaking after talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, said the priority now was to end the bloodshed and restore the truce between Gaza and Israel. Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit of Egypt, which has mediated between Hamas and Israel and between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, said Cairo summoned the Israeli ambassador to the Foreign Ministry on Sunday for the second day in a row to complain about Israeli military operations. "We object to this and we demand a stop and that the Israeli army does not carry out a new invasion," he said. The Egyptian minister said a cease-fire would be the aim of a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo on Wednesday. |

Wow, after coming back from the weekend, I came back to my thread that turned to shit. Although I pretty much expected that.
Too many non-objective approaches to seeing the conflict.
One thing I have known for quite some time, is that contrary to what someone said earlier, Palestinians DO hate the Israeli's on a general level.
I really wish I could find it (I tried when posting this thread), there was a show on (something like 20/20) that chronicled a summer camp with 10 children. 5 Palestinian and 5 Israeli. They all did their thing together and had a blast. They went their separate ways and this same journalist that hosted the show went back and tracked them all down. None of them would actually associate with the other side. They both harbored hatred toward each other.
There needs to be a cultural shift, but unfortunately the government nor the people are interested in that.

| Originally posted by Yuris then you should have at least the common respect for your fellow travelers to take off what is basically tantamount to a mask. |

| Originally posted by Yuris And that's not even touching the issue of how stupid it is that your god, whether he is real or not, would consider it an offense for you to remove your head dressing. |

| Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN perhaps you would like to explain to us all what kind of security threat a scarf makes that other items of apparel do not? |

you know what's really retarded? confusing a head-scarf with a mask. |

| how is that even remotely relevant? |

| Originally posted by Yuris Certainly. A hijab can be one that partially covers the face and one that doesn't. The article doesn't specify which one. If we assume it is one that partially covers the face then imagine an airport where every single traveler is wearing something to cover their face and claiming it as a religious right. It's a security nightmare. |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Yuris It is because the millenia-old superstitions of the few is exactly what creates these security risks to begin with. The same god that will consider it the greatest insult for her to remove her headscarf is the same guy who tells a bunch of idiots to hijack planes. I don't particularly care whether someone is interpreting this particular religion extremely or not - but the fact remains that this non-sensical beliefs is what elicits these kinds of reactions in airports and with good cause. Was it likely that this women is a terrorist or a threat? Of course not. But if you give people an inch they will take a foot. The freedom of religion doesn't extend everywhere, nor does it need to. |
Niqaabs and burkas always cover the face, hijab covers the face in some instances. It varies from region to region. Since the post doesn't mention her country of origin, it can be one or the other.
The fact remains - it's not like they stripped her naked and made her run through the airport - they asked her to remove her head dressing.
What if *my* religion dictates that I should never remove my coat - do I still have the right to go through the security checkpoint without taking it off?
That side-discussion is just fucked up..
