Rafah crossing to remain open for two days, allowing thousands of Egyptian citizens stuck in Gaza to return home. Palestinians: Reopening crossing goodwill gesture ahead of Ramadan

This I found on IsraeliGirl, I usually do not watch CNN because of it’s usually biased reports, but this video gives an interesting and rare glimpse into the workings of a terrorist group:

This Video also shows that Hamas is not exactly observing the Truce with Israel.

Arutz 7 reports that:

The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) in Gaza warned Thursday that the temporary ceasefire may end in three weeks, when the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins. The month is frequently marked by an increase in terrorism.

This is what a PRC spokesman is saying:

“The Zionist occupation has not yet agreed to the demand to release our prisoners, so our fighters are preparing for the next round in which we will try to abduct more Israeli soldiers to swap them for our hero prisoners”

Only talks? No, see what an Islamic Jihad leader has to say:

Al-Quds Brigades is currently preparing the combatants and stabilize their military and field, development of internal communications among themselves, to carry out military operations successfully.

“There is a large number of martyrs and martyrs who are waiting for the zero hour.”

Looks like we are soon getting into an other round of hostilities. Scary is that not Israel is determining the path of action, but the enemy!

Meanwhile Maan News is reporting that Israel has agreed to support the efforts of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the United States aimed at strengthening Palestinian security forces. Meaning more weapons to the Palestinians!

From Albawaba.com:

A senior Hamas official warned Tuesday the movement that took over Gaza Strip over a year ago could also overrun the West Bank if it is provoked by Fatah. The Hamas official, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, told The Associated Press that Fatah leaders should expect “an uprising” against them if they continued a crackdown against Hamas there.

A West Bank Fatah official responded that Hamas was issuing empty threats:

“If they can do anything, let them do it. We are not afraid,” said Fahmi Zaarir, a spokesman for Fatah in the West Bank.

Looks like we are going to have an interesting summer!

Hamas Spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum said that:

“Barak’s declarations show that the Israeli government failed to cope with Hamas and the Palestinian resistance’s steadfastness, and they also failed because the Palestinian people supports the resistance.” (from Maan News)

Further he added:

“Barak and his fruitless government do not know that if they commit such follies, they will pay a heavy price. Violence, cruelty and terrorism can’t provide occupation with safety and security.”

Now we reached the point that they are laughing at us.

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said Monday that Israel knew who abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit and where he was being held. (Haaretz)

Instead of releasing more Terrorists in return for Gilad, Israel should just go in there and get him back. We know he is alive and we know where he is and we know who is holding him (Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi). Such an military operation might be very difficult, dangerous and risky, but if a success (the only option) it would give us back the respect we loss during the second Lebanon war and with the prisoner exchange with Hezbollah.

Haaretz reports:

A Hamas official on Sunday said a group of Fatah men returned by Israel to the Gaza Strip were immediately detained by the Palestinian militant group’s security forces.

Further it is reported that Abbas gave the order to send them back:

Israel sent the group back on Sunday after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad withdrew an earlier request for Defense Minister Ehud Barak to allow the Gazans entry to Israel and then to transfer them to the West Bank.

Can anyone out there explain to me why the PA refused to allow these guys into the West Bank? They must realize that Hamas is going to eliminate them.

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Hamas has resumed its policy of shaving mustaches of political opponents to humiliate them, Fatah officials said Wednesday.

Hamas resorted to this form of punishment in the past after arresting senior Fatah representatives in the Gaza Strip, the officials said.

Hamas, for its part, accused the Palestinian Authority security forces of shaving the beards of detained Hamas officials in the West Bank.

Gunfire and explosions shook Gaza City on Saturday as Hamas forces battled fighters in a tribal stronghold where suspects in a deadly bombing were allegedly hiding. (Maan News)

Why do Hamas and Fatah kill each other? Why do Iraqis commit mass murder upon their fellow citizens? Why do the Lebanese shoot and blow each other up (Sunnis, Shiites, Alawaits — you name it). Why have they all repeatedly tried to exterminate Israel? Its not because of ideology. It`s because they have the weapons, that`s why.

After that Masab, son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef converted to Chritianity and after the Family denied that he converted, the son of the Hamas leader is slamming Hamas:

“You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death. They have to take revenge against anyone who did not agree to accept the Prophet Mohammed, like the Jews who are seen in the Koran as monkeys and the sons of pigs. They speak in terms of historical rights that were taken from them. In the view of Hamas, peace with Israel contradicts sharia and the Koran, and the Jews have no right to remain in Palestine.” (Haaretz)

I am wondering what price he is going to pay for this interview. We know whats happening to collaborators in Hamas land.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas ordered Thursday night the immediate release of all those arrested in response to the Gaza bombing on 25 July. (Maan News)

Meanwhile:

Fatah officials say their Hamas rivals have arrested senior Fatah leaders in the Gaza Strip, continuing a weeklong crackdown. (JPost)

Sounds to me that Abbas is under big pressure by Hamas. Is he going to be able to stay in power or will Hamas finally take over the West Bank?

Palestinian children on annual vacation can choose between Hamas or Islamic Jihad summer camps, both of which boast militia-style training, Koran classes, lessons on political prisoners (YnetNews).

This is no way to build a civil society. Hamas is producing an evil generation of hate and war.

Keep in mind that summer camps run by Fatah back in 2000 were also about military training and hate education; important to remind leaders that bad as Hamas and Islamic Jihad are, Fatah is not a good alternative. The fruits of Oslo; bringing terrorist groups which controlled and incited the Palestinian population.

Following a child on a mission to kill Jews:

I this last Video it is interesting to see the viewer comments on YouTube.

But maybe something is happening in the World, at least the Norway wants to freeze the aid to the PA after they learned that the budget was used to glorify terrorism and terrorists, and to promote hatred and violence (Arutz 7).

And last not least the following Video from the PA TV that was board casted on a daily basis…

The following is the text of the hate video:

“My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!…
If you pull out my eyes,
My heart will see. (x2)
If you cut off my hands,
My chest is knives and swords.
My enemy! Oh imperialism!
This homeland is ours. (x2)
This land will be tilled
only by our hoes. (x2)
Whenever the tension rises,
Whenever this land weeps, (x2)
the flower will return
to grow in our house.
My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!…
My enemy! Oh snake!
Around the land, you are coiled. (x2)
We, noble, courageous,
on the day of ruin [battle], shall stand.
You have no choice, Oh enemy,
but to leave my country.
And my children will return.

This rare video shows masked gunmen of the Popular Resistance Committees building and stockpiling rockets, then later militants from the Gaza Qassam Brigades in field combat exercises firing shoulder-fired rockets and live ammunition.

“the current situation in the West Bank is similar to that in the Gaza Strip before Hamas took control. Security forces are committing crimes in their interrogation and torture centers.
We remind them [Fatah],that they planted thorns and they will harvest regret. Abu Zuhri” (Maannews)

Israel must do everything to stop any takeover by Hamas. It would transform the West Bank into a big 2nd Gaza with rockets on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem!

Hamas militias in the Gaza Strip has banned three major Palestinian dailies.

The Palestinian Journalists Union in the West Bank said Hamas militias in Gaza prevented the three newspapers, al-Quds, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat
al-Jadida, from being distributed after they arrived in the besieged Strip.

Hamas gangs stormed on Saturday the offices of WAFA news Agency in Gaza, stole computers and files and destroyed all of its equipment and furniture. (WAFA)
