As of today (Jan 5; 9:54am) there are 531 Palestinians Killed in Gaza, 2450 Palestinians wounded and yesterday Israel blocked all humanitarian aid into Gaza.

"Karzai knows that he has no power outside the walls of the heavily guarded presidential compound. The US and NATO forces are adding to his problems by killing innocent civilians in the thousands. Such brutality simply reinforces the people’s perception that Karzai is an American stooge. The Taliban are gaining ground and Karzai is running out of time. It may already be too late. There is mounting speculation that next year’s elections may be postponed."

"Western and Indian geo-strategic objectives do not want unity in Pakistan; they want to create divisions leading to a civil war and the eventual breakup of Pakistan. The Mumbai carnage is another opportunity to advance these objectives."

"To be honest with ourselves, we must recognize that what Israel counted on materialized in a few cases: ineptness of the UN security council under threat of a US veto (itself under threat of the Zionist lobby), ineptness of the Arab league, the collaboration of many Arab governments, the apathy of large segments of the Israeli public, predicted local attempts to contain the anger in the street (from Cairo to Ramallah to Baghdad etc), and success of Israeli and Zionist forces and well financed propaganda not only in preventing reporting from the ground in Gaza but in controlling the message in much of the supine Western media."

"Fatima Hujjaij ought to know that Israel has subverted the latest Security Council attempt by Libya. That it’s able to hold the international community to ransom with the blanket protection of the US is an indication of the tough battle Palestinians face in appealing for and receiving assistance. Now that the second phase has been launched with a massive ground offensive, will Hujjaij fulfill her promise to take the next step?"

"Like the Nazi and war crime hunters of the past, we must never forgive, never forget and never submit to the demands of morally bankrupt states and politicians."

"The pain and suffering in Gaza is palpable. The immorality of the Israeli onslaught can only be questioned by those who actively support the carnage. It is all but impossible to diagnose the underlying problem when the pain of amputated limbs numbs the collective mind."

"There are thousands of Palestinians and Jews like me, in the Middle East and worldwide, who refuse to be enemies. We rarely make the headlines in your local paper, but we are here. One day we will prevail - not over anyone, but with everyone together. We are creating a new reality together and the paradigm, sooner or later, will shift decisively."
