We are all Gaza What is the real purpose of Israel's mass murder of civilians in Gaza?

Gideon Levy 14 July 2014

THE GOAL of Opera- tion Protective Edge is to restore the calm; the means: killing civilians. The slogan of the Mafia has become official Israeli policy. Israel sin- cerely believes that if it kills hundreds of Palestin- ians in the Gaza Strip, quiet will reign. It is pointless to destroy the weapons stores of Hamas, which has already proved capable of rearmament. Bring- ing down the Hamas government is an unrealistic (and illegitimate) goal, one that Israel does not want: It is aware that the alternative could be much worse. That leaves only one possible purpose for the military operation: death to Arabs, accompanied by the cheering of the masses. The Israel Defense Forces already has a “map of pain,” a diaboli- cal invention that has replaced the no less dia- Saturday; hundreds of run. the Gazan civilian popu- Retired generals and Gaza’s 1.8 million inhabi- bolical “bank of targets,” people injured, in addi- Since the first Lebanon lation vulnerable to commentators on active tants, whose already mis- and that map is spreading tion to horror and war, more than 30 years Israel’s brutal attacks, duty compete to make the erable lives are now at a sickening pace. destruction.

About Alex Kane

The U.S. has cast the sole vote against establishing an investigation by the United Nations into war crimes committed in Gaza. Yesterday, the United Nations Human Rights Council voted 29-1, with 17 abstentions, to establish an inquiry. The United States was the only no vote. The European nations on the council all abstained. In a statement, the UN Human Rights Council said it voted to “urgently dispatch an independent, international commission of inquiry to investigate all violations” of international law “in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip, in the context of the military operations conducted since 13 June 2014.” The UN’s top human rights official, Navi Pillay, said that “there seems to be a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes.” The Israeli government immediately condemned the vote. “The decision today by the UNHRC is a travesty and should be rejected by decent people everywhere,” the Israeli government said in a statement sent to jour- nalists. “The predicable result will be the libeling of Israel and even greater use of human shields in the future by Hamas.” The Israeli news website YNet reported that officials were contemplating whether or not to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council in response to the vote. Israel has long decried the Human Rights Council’s focus on Israel. Both the United States and Israel had withdrawn from the council in recent years over its focus on Israel, but had rejoined over the past two years. A key U.S. priority at the UN has been shielding Israel from criticism of its human rights record. In 2009, then U.S. ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said the U.S. rejoined the Human Rights Council so she could, in part, “fight against the anti-Israel crap.” And in 2013, Rice told Reform Jews that a “huge part”‘ of her job was PÐÕCÊhbSÊ=SÊCÎbÊ ´±bÊ7±Ò EÊÊ=CÊÊ;Ê=6Ê± EÊÒCÊ7ê± DCÊ8±ÎbÊPcÊ9«±bÊ C<4CÊE=RÊ5±û0±^j±bÊ defending Israel.

Are the US and UK getting nervous about what Israel is doing in Gaza?

Lindsey German 24 July 2014 Being lauded for moral focus and moral clarity by Binyamin Netanyahu isn’t exactly the sort of praise most people would wish for. A bit like being taught table manners by Jack the Ripper. But our new Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, didn’t seem fazed by it. After all, he had just blamed Hamas for what is now going on in Gaza. At a press conference in Israel alongside Netanyahu, he said: ‘Britain has also been very clear that Israel has ire proposals.&rsquo the right to defend itself and its citizens but we are gravely concerned by the ongoing heavy level of civilian casualties.

By Adel Zaanoun, John Davison - GAZA CITY

The death toll in Gaza soared to more than 1,000 Satur- day as bodies were pulled from the rubble during a 12- hour truce top diplomats urged Israel and Hamas to extend. After the fragile ceasefire went into effect at 0500 GMT, medics began digging through the remains of hundreds of homes, and uncovered more than 100 bodies underneath, medics said. The grim discoveries pushed the Palestinian toll in Gaza to more than 1,000 as US Secretary of State John Kerry met counterparts from Europe and the Middle East and urged that the truce be extended. "We all call on parties to extend the humanitarian ceasefire," France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters after meeting Kerry and foreign ministers d4Pû07ÕCÊb0¹ÒPÊ dhCÊê±«CÊ4»M±ÐCÊ ±ÌbÊÊ7' C<Ê=9EÊCÊ4ê±ÒEÊ=CÊ:&±³¹CÊ± Ì»CÊÊÊ PÊÊÊ:Ê Í»bÊÊÊÊbÊÊÊ=Ê from Britain, Germany, Italy, Qatar and Turkey, as well û=ÔRÒÔbÒ ĆÊCÊ<± ý ĆÊÊ7=7Ê$ «±RÊAÊ ýEÊ=ÒPÊÊ±ÎPÊ4±EÊ:8ÊÏCÊ ÎbhCM± as an EU representative. ¢·RÒCÕ=;=2 9¢¢^Ò ýÐC ±Ìb7'E9:Ê*±^=g±R ¯ P4õÊ=;=2Ê 969`Ê8ñÒÔC ÐbC7±ýÐbÊ=8R«±RÊ cjÒ "We all want to obtain a lasting ceasefire as quickly ýEÊÊÒCÊÊ6Ê·±RÊÊ`ÊRÊÊ ¬ `PÊÊ RÊRÊ7 ¹RÊÊ cÊÊ¯ ³SÊ RcÊ9Îb0Ê'CEÊCÊ2ê±]º EÊÊ=;Ê=2ÊÊ Ê96± ³¹CÊÊ=7Ê± dÒPÊÊ± as possible that addresses both Israeli requirements in E=4PÊÒEbÊE=9=Êg±R ¯´±»CÊ c9ÓÒP ÐbÊ8Ò^=g±R ¯ ÐÒ^=g±RÊ ¯³¹CÊPÊhÔPÊ==7Ê `C=Ò¹^=g±R ¯³CÊhC7³»ÒR1 È69\ CÊ;c9ERÊÒ ©Z±b±À» T9cÊ¯añP7CÊP4±bÊb7 dÊ± EÊ=CÊÊ:&± ³¹CÊÊ± ÎCÊ: terms of security and Palestinian requirements in terms ²RÊÊ'±«PÊÊQÊÊ;³SÊÊÊÃCÊÊ2Ê of socio-economic development."

WASHINGTON: The government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced recently the creation of its own space agency and its plan to send an unmanned mission to Mars by 2021, which exprts say will boost space technology in the Arab world. The probe’s journey to Mars would coincide with the 50th anniversary of the UAE’s independence from Britain in 1971. “We chose the epic challenge of reaching Mars because epic challenges inspire us Îb2±[CÊU»aÒEÊ;E4»aÊ»bjCÊ;¹c9õÊ0±ý«C:Ê9R and motivate us,” said Sheikh EÊ9=0Ê cÊ¯ »bÊjCÊ;PÊÊ± ±QÊ d:Ê;ÊÒõ=Ê69(± a=ÊCÊ;Ò a9Êº cÊ9 Mohammed bin Rashid Al- ýÔR= C2±R04±ý¾CÒE;E4»M±´±ºE RÊ6ê±´±»bjC;P± Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and [;=ÒC=Ïb=±cPõ0CE72; the country’s vice president. a9=0ý_hM±bÒR:; a9ºd25ÔQ±UR±Îb [9Ò On Twitter, Al-Maktoum said Ô¹C4±RÊ=URÊ±Ð¯³PÊê±´CbÊ±Òõ0±`«CÊ:94±\RÊÎb7Ò the country’s investment in space Ð±R=2±«CÊ;ER Ê±W=6c9ÑPÊC »bjCÊ;P±_ bÊ 8ÔQ± technologies already eclipsed $5 ´±»bjC;ÊP±`CÊbÑQdÊ5CEÊ9=0P4ÊÒE ÁbÊ<±dCÊCÒ billion.

Swiss drugmaker Novartis has struck an agreement with Goo- gle to develop "smart" contact lenses that would help diabetics to track their blood glucose levels or restore the eye's ability to focus. The device for diabetics would measure glucose in tear fluid and send the data wirelessly to a mobile device, Novartis said. The technology is potentially life-changing for many diabetics, who prick their fingers as many as 10 times daily to check their body's production of the sugar. Success would allow Novartis to compete in a global blood- sugar tracking market that is expected to be worth more than $12 billion by 2017, according to research firm GlobalData. Diabetes afflicts an estimated 382 million people worldwide. Many people with Type 1 diabetes and some with Type 2 diabetes monitor their blood glucose level to help to manage their condition and reduce the risk of health complications such as amputation and blindness.

RIYADH: ALI FAYYAZ

US President Barack Obama honored Saudi woman activist Maha Al- Muneef in Riyadh During his recent visit to Saudi March 2014)Arabia ( for playing an important role in drafting and advis- ing on a law which pro- tects women in the King- dom from abuse and domestic violence. It is the first time for such a law to be established in Saudi Arabia which defines and criminalizes domestic violence. Al-Muneef was honored with the US Secretary of State’s International Woman of Courage Award. As she was unable to attend the award cere- mony in the US recently, she was presented the award during Obama’s visit to the Kingdom. Al-Muneef, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases, stands among 10 women honored for brav- ery by the US State Department.

By: Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, When you see me passing And the flash of my It ought to make you K`»C APõ`8Ò ^bÊ$cÊ9d»PÊd<CÊbÊ9 ÕCÊÊ;Ê N1Ê; dÊ± ´CÊÊ60Ê± TbF;Ê ýb9=#CÊC´PÒ teeth, proud. ²Qd;ØÐP74 d×«C;M½C;±Z=: bÊ9#´SÊÛ=ùEÊ=CÊ ±ÒÕCÊ±PÊ¯Ò ³PÊÊÊê± ´CÊÊbÊÊ± Ô»ÒSÊÊ=Ê The swing in my waist, I say, Îb?
