Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reported that the military is ready to “significantly expand” its war on the Gaza Strip, with concern that a ground invasion could begin pretty soon with more and more troops deployed in the border area.
Though Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman are both hyping the prospect of further escalation and are both ruling out a truce agreement any time soon, they are reportedly receiving some resistance from the international community.
Not from the Obama Administration, of course, which has endorsed the war unconditionally, but from British FM William Hague, who has warned that a ground invasion with a large civilian death toll would cost Israel greatly in international sympathy.
British officials have repeatedly said that Hamas is entirely to blame for the war, and Hague claimed that Iran could also be blamed for the situation. That pretense could collapse quickly with a large civilian death toll, however, which seems to be the direction Israel’s hawkish government is heading.
By such wide and inhuman military operation happening in Gaza.., What these terrorist governments from Europe to Israel to USA are saying is for Palestinians to move out to Egypt or other country around the area so they can expand their militerized teritory. If Turkey or Egyptians and those whom are after Bashir Al Assad wanting to change the Syrian government and their desire is for peace and democracy then they need to look at themselves once again and ask the question what if Israel wanted to expend further, what if USA and Europeans Neo Liberal Fascism wanted to expend their militrized expension further thorough Turkey, Egypt and Syria. If any of these governments are for peace then they need to act now, then they need to stop their support for Saudis and jihadist terrorist groups that are produced in Europe and elswhere then sent to Syria fighting the Syrian people, then they need to look at their friend Israel and look at who is their enemy, is Syrian government or Israeli apartheids regime, is it Europe with its NATO militarism regime or the Palestinians who have suffered for so many years by these people selfish modernized yet insulted and laughed at by the west for not being able to recognize their enemies. Israel killed 9 civilians on a boat full with helping supply to Gaza, what did you do Erdogan…?
Israel, like the U.S., doesn't care what the world thinks or how many Palestinians it kills. And, when it invades Lebanon, and Syria and Jordan and Egypt as part of its Greater Israel ambition, it won't care how many of their citizens it kills either.
Wake up, world. The Zionists are on the prowl. They have big plans, along with the Americans.
If UN cannot its job to protect, which we it cannot, then it should close shop and everybody go home. Nobody needs a DEAD horse.
Now, why is it that I think that even with a large civilian death toll would NOT cost Israel greatly in international sympathy. If FM Hague feels this way then he must understand that a large civilian death toll is exactly what the Israelis are planning. That is why the Israelis have called up 75K reservists…you wouldn't do that unless you plan on actually using them for something more involved than chasing down a couple of missile launchers.
I foolishly had hopes that with an American President that no longer needs to campaign on the rubber -chicken circuit that he might actually grow a brass pair and extract the US from the snare of the Zionists who are on the path of self-immolation – that he would state for the world to hear that the Israelis are bent on their complete destruction and the US respectfully declines to participate. Then the alarm went off and I rolled over and realized it was only a dream.
When you say "international sympathy", do you mean people or governments? Our anti-democratic governments may love the Israeli murderers and torturers, but the people seem to be turning against Israel rather strongly. It used to be that I felt like a voice in the wilderness. Now it seems like only the die-hards and Israeli-paid commenters have any sympathy at all for this state that murders children.
Me, I'm already at the point where I won't buy anything made in Israel, nor if I can avoid it, support companies that do business in Israel. Type Boycott Israel into google.
Some Hamas rockets found their target /20%?/…. In the wake of brutal, ongoing aggression against native population of Palestine, against people of Gaza, I hope that if Israel manages somehow involve US into aggresive war against Iran….I believe and trust, that if only !!!!20% of High tech missiles fired from Iran will found its target, then Israel is gone forever – for benefit of humanity. Israels regime is truth Cancer of ME….and Humanity will dearly regret the embarising decision from 1946, this horrible mistake in entire history of UN ….who on earth could foretold what kind of monsterous regime will emerge from relatively noble idea after WW2.
UN should start working on DISSOLUTION of place called Israel and save people in 4 cornes from Satanism represented by Zionist regime… peter czech
"ISTANBUL—Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of being a "terrorist state" on Monday and criticized world powers for supporting the weeklong bombardment of Gaza that has killed almost 90 people, signaling that the three-year-old rift between Jerusalem and Ankara is deepening".
This is an opportunism doing its best, this is the manipulative politics doing what it can, this the one that talks about "world power" in one hand and in the other wants to replace the Syrian government by helping all kind of terrorist that grown and imported from Europe to Turkey and then to Syria fighting the Syrian people, this is a regime which is the member of NATO blinded by NATO wants to become the Muslim member of EU doing exactly what the Neo Liberal Fascism, from Sweden to Rat Mussen the head of NATO of Denmark to English and French tells him to do, yet Erdogan wants for "world power" to do something about Israel, the very same regime is and has been the Erdogan friends for many and the very same regime has done the very same murdering now as before.
Three cheers to Erdogan for standing up for basic human decency. For standing up for basic concepts like "you don't murder children." What we need to get rid of this world is the religious crazies who hate people because of religion and who spin these long pieces of BS that end up in the end that they support blowing little children apart with high explosives.
Israel has done the same atrocity toward the Palestinians for over 50 years, Erdogan and his Sunny Muslims government has been THE friends with Israel while they have conducted and committed all kind of crimes in Gaza and elsewhere while they been friends, Israel has been stealing the Palestinians land and their homes while Turkish government or for that matter Muslims Brotherhood and others stood by and condemned by saying things as Erdogan have said, that Israel is a state terrorist, this is nothing new, Israel have been a state terrorists for a long time. Such regime has been feed by the west and for the west.., now is time for Turkey and all other government in the region to ask for UN to start processing a total boycott of Israel as they did to Iraq for 14 years where over a million children died as a result, now is time for Turkey and every other government in Middle East to take a stand and demand that Israel government be treated as they deserve, as they have treated the people of middle east for last 60 years. If you think that the Neo Liberal fascism in Europe even consider what Erdogan is saying, think again.., they even laugh at him because they know that he is just another puppet who need to have said something for now, they know his saying wont change their inhuman politics toward nations in Middle East nor Tony Blair or for that matter Bill Clinton's or Hillary Clinton's promised change for Sunny Muslims the especially chosen Turkish or for that matter Saudis.
You want peace, you want for democracy to work in middle east.., then you need to leash your beast, Israel, not making the situation worse by wanting to change governments who are for a functioning democracy and unity among nations in middle east.., you want peace then you need to be looking at all directions and angles of the problems.
Look: NATO wants things to be changed in middle east, Turkey is one of the members of this militarism regime, what Erdogan or his regime says becomes less worthy.., not because of him saying it.., but because his working for NATO and NATO prospect for middle east is to divide nations in middle east, by all means and with all costs, that is the reasons for USA and EU want to attack Iran, not because of the Iranians regime but to divide more of nations in middle east and for western modernized Liberal Fascism being able to occupy the entire middle east, here is where Israel and its present apartheid regimes becomes handy, what is happening in Gaza is part of the plot and is not finished yet.
Ours is not the reason why. Ours is but to do and die.
At what point does a state lose its right to exist?
Feeling the winds of the Arab Spring at its back, Hamas seems intent on emerging from this conflict stronger than when it entered it. Its conditions include an immediate lifting of Israel’s naval blockade, the opening of all its borders, an end to targeted killings and cross-border raids, and international guarantees that a new status quo will last.
At the same time, Hamas is clear that it has no intention of ending its war against Israel, whose existence it doesn’t recognize and has pledged to destroy. “Gaza’s demand is not to halt a war,” said Meshaal. “Its demand is for legitimate rights.”
Israel, meanwhile, is demanding the opposite — that Hamas shut down all militant activity, including rocket fire by all Palestinian factions, all smuggling of weapons into Gaza — and insists on its right to go after “terrorists” inside Gaza in the event of an attack or even a tip-off about a future strike.
