If I did, I probably wouldn\u2019t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic. I was not. I said: What are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive. And Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can\u2019t help but feel that the Jews didn\u2019t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can\u2019t really turn it back.\u201d \u2014 Jewish writer Isaac Asimov<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>The leader of Lebanese Islamic Resistance, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah on\u00a0Thursday condemned the western leaders for their support for the latest vicious attack on the 1.5 million Gazans by the Jewish army.<em> \u201cThe bloodshed in Gaza shows the true face of the United states and the West,\u201d<\/em> he said in a televised speech aired in Beirut.<\/h5>\n<h5>Nasrallah urged the 57 Muslim nation-states to sever all form of relations with the US while calling upon Cairo, Amman and Ankara to break diplomatic relations with the Zionist entity. He also claimed that the Zionist regime is taking revenge for its failure to bring regime changes in Syria and Lebanon by attacking the coastal enclave.<\/h5>\n<h5>Hizballah is the only Arab millitia which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atimes.com\/atimes\/Middle_East\/HJ12Ak01.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">defeated the Jewish Army<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the summer of 2006.<\/h5>\n<h5>Barack Obama (US), David Cameron (UK)\u00a0and Stephen Harper (Canada) have all given their unwavering support to the Zionist regime\u2019s new air raids on Gaza while condeming retaliatory rocket attacks on the \u201cpece-loving\u201d Israeli Jewish settlers by\u00a0 Palestinian resistance groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.<\/h5>\n<h5>Egyptian president Dr Morsi, who is affraid to anger his western backers, sent Prime Minister\u00a0Hisham Kandil to the Gaza Strip on Friday. During his visit, Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli air strikes to stop. They were resumed as soon as\u00a0 Hisham Kandil had left Gaza.<\/h5>\n<h5>The Israeli air attack, which started on Wednesday, has killed at least 21 Palestinians including Ahmad Jaabari, head of Ezzedin Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. Most of the victims of Israeli air strikes so far have been Palestinian children. The Zionist regime has declared an emergency and recalled over 30,000 army reserves for a possible ground attack.<\/h5>\n<h5>Killing children is a serious business.<\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_60372\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jihad-Masharawi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60372\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60372\" title=\"Jihad Masharawi\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jihad-Masharawi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jihad-Masharawi.jpg 614w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Jihad-Masharawi-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jihad Masharawi weeps while he holds the body of his 11-month old son Ahmad at Shifa Hospital following an Israeli air strike on their family home in Gaza City, Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>Hamas has claimed downing an Israeli F-16 fighter jet and capturing its two pilots.

Israeli military officials have warned Israelis to prepare for up to seven weeks of war on Gaza.<\/h5>\n<h5>The Israeli military frequently carries out airstrikes and other attacks on Gaza Strip, saying the actions are being conducted for defensive purposes. However, in violation of international law, disproportionate force is always used and civilians killed in a cruel and indiscriminate fashion.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the Gaza War of 2008-9 (known as \u2018Operation Cast Lead\u2019), Israel\u00a0 killed 1400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and suffered a loss of only 14 Israelis. As has often been stated: this was not a war \u2014 it was shooting fish in a barrel.<\/h5>\n<h5>Hamas\u2019 leader in exile, Khaled Mishaal, who is attending the 8th General Conference of Sudanese Islamic Movement in Khartoum, has condemned the killing of commander\u00a0Ahmad Jaabari. The conference is attended by more than 170 Islamists from around the Muslim world.<\/h5>\n<h5>Jewish academic and author Dr. Norman Finkelstein, in a recent interview on <em>Russia Today<\/em>, called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu \u201ca maniac\u201d.<\/h5>\n<h5>British veteran journalist and author, Alan Hart, has posted a brilliant article, entitled \u201cExcuse me while I vomit\u201d.
