22nd January
Israel’s objectives from the war on Gaza were set long before its launch: to remove the Hamas movement and government, achieve the reinstallation of the Fatah leader, Mahmoud Abbas, in Gaza, and end the armed resistance. Two other objectives were not announced. First, restore the Israeli public’s wavering confidence in its armed forces after its defeat by Hezbollah in 2006. Second, boost the coalition government in the coming elections.

PM DINES WITH fellow WAR CRIMINALS
The demo’ this Saturday 24 January will march to
Downing Street, calling for the lifting of the Gaza blockade,
an end to all arms sales to Israel and for Israel to be made
to pay for its war crimes.
We will also be registering our disgust over Gordon Brown’s
support for Israel following its barbaric attack. The day
after the massacre was ended – so as not to spoil Barack
Obama’s inauguration with pictures of phosphorous bombs
dropping on UN schools in Gaza – Brown rushed off to join five
other heads of government for a celebratory gala dinner at the
Jerusalem home of Israel’s prime minister Ehud Olmert,
alongside Olmert’s compatriots in mass murder, defence
minister Ehud Barak and foreign minister Tzipi Livni.

19/01/2009 … And on the 24th day on the Israeli deadliest war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and a few hours after a ceasefire was announced in the besieged strip marking another victory for the Resistance pattern in the region, the Arab leaders were “finally” able to hold an “Arab Summit” amid an unprecedented Arab division.
All the Arabs, including the so-called “moderate” ones, were represented in the Kuwait Summit, days after they rejected to participate in a Qatari-suggested summit over Gaza, resulting in the failure of reaching the needed quorum. Meanwhile, the summit was marked by a reconciliation lunch meeting in which Saudi King gathered leaders of Egypt, Syria, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. A Syrian well-informed source told Al-Manar that the meeting was frank and sincere. The source noted that the mentioned reconciliation meeting constitutes a first step towards discussing various Arab issues in an attempt to reach common principles.

| Entretien de Thierry Meyssan au « Courrier d’Algérie »
19th January, 2009 |
Condoleezza Rice et Tzipi Livni ont signé vendredi à Washington un accord bilatéral destiné, disent-elles, à empêcher « la contrebande d’armes » vers Ghaza. Rice a indiqué avoir téléphoné aux ministres des Affaires étrangères britannique, David Miliband, allemand, Frank-Walter Steinmeier et français, Bernard Kouchner, « pour les informer » de sa démarche ajoutant : « Je pense que ces efforts vont être suivis très rapidement par les Européens ». Selon le porte-parole du département d’État, Sean McCormack, Washington s’engage dans ce document à mobiliser des « équipements » pour aider Israël à empêcher « la contrebande ». Il n’a cependant pas précisé ce que seraient ces équipements, mais il a indiqué que les États-Unis ne déploieraient pas de troupes sur le terrain. Dans cet entretien accordé au Courrier d’ Algérie, Thierry Meyssan revient sur cette offensive acharnée que mène Israël contre la bande de Ghaza

Can you imagine that even some Palestinians [or better to use Fatah in today’s terms] are saying:
Qatar is playing with fire, the Emir [of Qatar] crossed all the red lines.
Do you really want to see the outrage of the pro-Israel alliance? Then see this report on Al-Hariri newspaper Al-Mustaqbal saying:
The axis of resistance is a lie… the true name is “axis of Iran”.
I don’t know, how Hariri will explain this to the Emir of Qatar in the future?
