O ummah, for how much longer?

You are not helping your cause with headlines that read Hamas fired 100 rockets into Israel.

lol, if hamas didn't fire any rockets, the palestinian issue probably wouldn't even be ON THE LAMESTREAM NEWS.
and you wouldn't be talking about it now, they'd just suffer in silence while you sat at your rocket stove roasting cashews while watching glenn beck, while the rest of us scoured alternative sites for real news.

Muslim Ummah if they care so much wouldn't they help them out?? I would with as much as I can.

ummm, there are hundreds of non violent activist organisations that are doing just that, wen was the last time you contributed other than trashing them for their efforts?

and btw, wen you speak of lobbying, it's a bit like spitting at the crow on the telegraph pole, because you're trying to lobby the opposition agents themselves and not a neutral party. the operative word here is "institutionalized" .

"I am a Zionist," Conservative Party leader David Cameron told an audience of party supporters of Israel in London on Tuesday.
"If what you mean by Zionist, is someone who believes that the Jews have a right to a homeland in Israel and a right to their country then, yes, I am a Zionist and I'm proud of the fact that Conservative politicians down the ages have played a huge role in helping to bring this about,"

Britain to abstain on Palestine statehood vote at UN
David Cameron, the prime minister, has stepped back from a confrontation with the United States and Israel by refusing to support a United Nations vote recognising a Palestinian state.

In a study of BBC television news coverage,
the Glasgow Media Group documented differences in the language used by journalists for Israelis and Palestinians.
The study found that terms such as "atrocity," "brutal murder," "mass murder," "savage cold blooded killing," "lynching" and "slaughter"
were used describe the death of Israelis but not for the death of Palestinians.
The word "terrorist" was often used to describe Palestinians.
However, in reports of an Israeli group attempting to bomb a Palestinian school
members of the Israeli group were referred to as "extremists" or "vigilantes" but not as "terrorists."[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_the_Arab–Israeli_conflict#cite_note-3[/SUP]

In a 2001 study done by FAIR, only 4% of the US media mentioned that an occupation by Israel is occurring.
In an update to the study, the number has reportedly gone down to only 2% of the media mentioning an occupation.[SUP]
[/SUP]The 2001 figure is also seen in the documentary Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land.

and on top of that, there are still many fox news type viewers who believe that the occupied territories are illegally occupied by palestinians! and that the "settlers" are palestinians. due to the lack of detail when using the term combined with villification of the palestinians as "terrorists",
but they usually use the term "neighbourhood" in place of "illegal settlement" anyway............


[h=2]Americans believe Palestinians are the illegal settlers in West Bank
-- a confusion OK with US media[/h]In a new study of media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a group of American college students was asked, "Who is occupying the occupied territories, and what nationality are the settlers?" Fairly simple questions, but only 29 percent knew the correct answers. The Israelis are both the occupiers and the settlers.

Some thought the Palestinians occupy the occupied territories, but the Israelis are the settlers. Others thought the Israelis occupy the occupied territories, but the Palestinians are the settlers. A smaller number thought the Palestinians were both the settlers and the occupiers. The rest simply could not answer.

The study points out that the Americans questioned were journalism and media students and some had even done projects on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. So their answers clearly overstated the public's level of knowledge about the Middle East.

As a journalist who has spent almost four decades reporting on world affairs and especially the Middle East, I was not surprised. I learned long ago that you cannot underestimate the level of understanding of the general public.

Israel vows more force against Gaza if…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows escalation of Israel’s acts of aggression against the Gaza Strip at -- what he calls -- Tel Aviv’s discretion.


Netanyahu made the remarks during a weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem (al-Quds) on Sunday evening after the regime’s military killed over a dozen people in the coastal strip over the past week, AFP reported.

He said that “if necessary, it (the military) will act with even more force.”

Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 16 Palestinian since Monday. Dozens of Palestinians have also been injured in the assaults.

Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has threatened to end an Egypt-brokered truce with Tel Aviv if the Israeli aggression against the besieged enclave continues.

The Tel Aviv regime has been recurrently bombarding Gaza ever since its 22-day war on the impoverished territory in December 2008 and January 2009, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and inflicted a damage of USD 1.6 billion on the region's already-stagnant economy.

The offensives are often launched under the usual pretext of responding to the purported firing of rockets from the direction of Gaza.

This is while the home-made projectiles seldom leave any casualties or considerable damage to property.

The Israeli hostility rages on, while Tel Aviv refuses to lift an all-out blockade it imposed on Gaza in mid-June 2007.

They just cant stop, looks like they want to scare the hell out of the palestinians and expel them, but even after the 2009 genocide the palestinians remained strong.

Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (for the right); they rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knoweth well those that do right (3:113-115 AYA).

It looks like they colluded with the treacherous u.s funded scaf to use gaza as a bargaining chip to make the brotherhood accept the concessions.

Is this serious?

Muslim Brotherhood: Israel-Egypt peace treaty will stand

By Jennifer Lipman, June 25, 2012

Mohammed Morsi

Quote:
The newly-elected Egyptian president has vowed to maintain the peace treaty with Israel signed more than 30 years ago.

Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood were celebrating this weekend after the Islamist party's candidate, Mohammed Morsi, was declared the victor in the runoff election.

The once-banned party has said that it would protect the treaty but also suggested that it would call for modifications to it.

President Mohammed Morsi said he would "preserve international accords and obligations" after the result was announced.

Israeli officials offered cautious congratulations to the new president. "Israel appreciates the democratic process in Egypt and respects its outcome", said a spokesman.

"Israel expects to continue co-operation with the Egyptian government on the basis of the peace agreement between the two countries," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "It is of interest to the two peoples and contributes to regional stability."

The peace treaty was signed in 1979 and its existence is considered a cornerstone of Israel's security policy.

Britain's Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said he wished Mr Morsi success, but called for the new government "to stand for national unity and reconciliation, to build bridges across Egyptian society and to uphold human rights, including the rights of women and religious minorities, and the rule of law".

In Gaza, which is bordered by Egypt, the Brotherhood's success was also a cause for celebration, although reports said one person was killed by celebratory gunfire.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh called the election result "a victory for all Arabs and Muslims".

"This is God's promise to his believers," he said.
