The Curse of Abraham

 
 
  Abraham was a god-fearing man that nothing stops him from pleasing God even to the extent of sacrificing his own son Isaac. Such piety was handed down to the generations with a different twist. The Palestinians, Hamas in particular, have no qualms sacrificing their own people to please their god - world opinion - confirmed by documents obtained by Israeli Defense Forces - a  Hamas map.
.................................
This map confiscated Wednesday (Jan. 7) by IDF paratroopers operating in the north of Gaza, shows how Hamas uses an entire neighborhood, rigging it with explosive devices and putting the entire civilian population at great risk. The map shows the al-Tatraa neighborhood in Gaza City divided into three areas of operation (red, blue and green). The dots on the map indicate where Hamas operatives had planted a variety of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), with the colors indicating the type of IED. Additional marks show sniper positions next to mosques. Next to the entrance of the el-Tawid mosque near to Shauuda Plaza at the top left of the map there is a sniper posting with marking indicating the direction of fire marked on the map. At the bottom center of the map there is a gas station where Hamas planted an IED which, if activated, could cause a very large explosion throughout the neighborhood.

An overall study of the map demonstrates how Hamas deliberately uses civilians...

Hopefully, this will give us a clue as to what Israel hopes to achieve by committing atrocities in Gaza, that despite international condemnation, pressure and protests, she refuses to budge from her determination to cause the quasi extermination of a people.

Israel's war on Gaza: Follow the gas trail

I didn't have the slightest clue that the Palestinians were sitting on a huge gas reserve in Gaza until I read fellow blogger Ingrid's post and her link to Michel Chossudovsky's War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields. Highlights:

[...] The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.

This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline. [...]

Sad as these tradegies might be, Hamas seems to have David vs. Goliath delusions. Just like David slinging rocks, Hamas is launching rockets at Istrael ... good material for shakepearian drama. The crying need of the hour is for immediate ceasefire - then talk about security and oil and gas resereves, etc. When there is peace and security, anything and everything can be discussed.
