BRUSSELS, (PIC)-- The European campaign to lift the siege on Gaza Strip has criticized the world community's slackness in dealing with the "oppressive" Israeli siege on the Strip that has been ongoing for three years. It said in a statement on Saturday that the UN and other international organizations' concern and denunciation did not change the bad situation in Gaza and did not absolve those organizations of their responsibility. The Brussels-based campaign said that the "late" visit of... Read Full Story

I am beating my drum quite fiercely today and the old soapbox is positively creaking under my frenetic hopping up and down, but it is impossible to watch the events unfold and remain silent.
A comment just popped in decrying the tendency of global activists to become enraged at the death “of terrorists” and yet remain unimpressed by Israeli endeavours to protect their folk.
I think the main (for there are in fact many) issue I take with this line of argument is that it is not terrorists... Read Full Story
If you've turned on the news recently, you may have seen the violence taking place on the Gaza Strip and Israel. Before I continue, let me just say this is not a political blog. Who am I to say who's right and who's wrong...or if anyone is right or wrong? However, with the flashes of bombs exploding on your television screens or headlines some simply skim over, I thought it would be interesting to hear what's happening "over there" from the people who are actually living it. So, I'm in the... Read Full Story

Booming Gaza Tourism Placed on Hold If it's Gaza, it must be Tuesday. It's just a bad time to vacation in the Gaza strip. The service is lousy and getting a cup of coffee while running at full speed only to have your leg removed by a stray Israeli Negev machine gun round is probably not conducive to the type of rest you might have been looking for on your trip to the Middle East. If Gaza was even on your itinerary, you are the type of person who deserves and I.E.D. up your ass. Face it. This... Read Full Story
From an actual transcript of radio communications among Israeli soldiers on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip on October 2004: Sentry: " We spotted an Arab female about a hundred meters below our emplacement, near the light armored vehicle gate." Headquarters: "Observation post ! Do you see IT? " Observation Post: "Affirmative, IT'S a young girl. She's now running east." HQ: "What is her position?" OP: "She's currently north of the authorized zone." Sentry: "Very appropriate... Read Full Story
