"muzz ,their so called crack down is a power struggle , hamas dont give a stuff who fires at israel its in their unchanged charter to destroy israel . what they are concerned about is these other groups knocking them off their perch if they gain popularity"
Well that power struggle didnt last long did it....a few hours. Good one twited. A govt should look after its people. If some armed group in Hamilton claimed they were now in charge, our govt would react the same way Hamas did. |

British fire fighter union calls for complete boycott of Israel

Article's topics: Israel Boycott
A British fire fighter union is calling for sanctions and a complete boycott of Israel, months after forming a new global movement along with its Israeli counterpart.
The Fire Brigades Union has also urged Britain's 6.5-million member Trade Union Congress to distance itself from its counterpart, the Histadrut Labor Federation, for not condemning Operation Cast Lead.
The Fire Brigades Union asked the Trade Union Congress to "carry out a review" of its relationship with the Histadrut at the Trade Union Congress annual conference in Liverpool next month.
Motion P76 submitted by the Fire Brigades Union, which represents around 85 percent of UK fire fighters and support staff, calls on the General Council of the Trade Union Congress to condemn Israel for the Gaza operation and "ongoing blockade in contravention of international law." |

It comes months after the Fire Brigades Union worked closely with the Israeli fire fighter union to form the International Fire Fighter Unions Alliance to represent fire fighters globally, which was set up shortly after the IDF offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The alliance's slogan is "Stronger together."
The sanctions call has been questioned by Trade Unions Linking Israel and Palestine (TULIP). The new organization works with Israeli and Palestinian trade unionists and non-governmental organizations to find practical ways to respond to Israel-boycott calls.
TULIP's Eric Lee has accused the Fire Brigades Union of having a "split personality."
"The irony here is that two months after the Gaza war - which supposedly made Israeli unions pariahs - unwelcome in the international trade union movement - the Fire Brigades Union happily joined forces with an Israeli union and just 10 other unions to launch a global federation of fire fighters unions," Lee said. "I can't imagine why they think it's appropriate for them to work with Israeli trade unionists, but are calling on the TUC [Trade Union Congress] to 'review' its links with the Histadrut. It's almost as if the FBU [Fire Brigades Union] had a severe case of split personality." |

n response, Mick Shaw, president of the Fire Brigades Union, said his group was "merely" calling for the Trade Union Congress to "review" links with the Histadrut. "As an affiliate of the TUC, we are part of the international trade union movement and recognize that Histadrut is also a part of that movement. We therefore participate in international organizations and their conferences alongside Histadrut, including this year at both the International Fire Fighter Unions Alliance and the European Federation of Public Service Unions. We merely call in our motion for the TUC to review their links with Histadrut," Shaw said in a statement.
The Fire Brigades Union wants the Trade Union Congress to review its links with the Histadrut based on evidence from the fringe Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the findings of a delegation of Scottish Trade Union Congress members who visited the region in February with a view of boycotting and calling for sanctions against Israel.
At the time the delegation said it was meeting trade unionists in Israel and the Palestinian territories to "investigate the merits of supporting a boycott, disinvestment and sanctions against the State of Israel until it complies with international law and agreed human rights principles." |

| Dead right JJ...Israel claims it wants peace with Arabs yet has cannoned the peace process by not complying with the settlement freeze it signed agreement to. Any peace makes a settlement freeze a requirement of peace with Arabs. This makes Israels claims complete lies. America needs to stop Israel making its historic sabotage of the peace process. The only way peace will ever become a reality is when someone nails Israels ass to the floor. Any claim made that Israel wants peace has been exposed as a complete farce on this occassion! |

Several senior government ministers toured outposts in Samaria Monday in an expression of solidarity with residents there. Interior Minister Eli Yishai said the outposts were legal, while Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon said that Israel should consider rebuilding the settlement of Homesh, which was evacuated during the 2005 disengagement.

On the tour were Yishai (Shas), Ya'alon, Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein (both Likud)(Likud) and Science Minister Daniel Herschkowitz (Habayit Hayehudi).
"These settlements were established by Israeli governments and approved by them," Yishai said.
He added that "the people of Israel should know this settlement is legal. If someone thinks otherwise and plans to evacuate them, it will have to be approved by the government. You cannot just evacuate people from their homes without due process."
Ya'alon, meanwhile, said Israel should consider reestablishing the outpost of Homesh, which was evacuated during the 2005 disengagement.
He said the term 'illegal outposts' was in itself "illegal." The outposts, he said, were approved by prime ministers and defense ministers and so were legal.

Great to see that the Lada guidance systems are working well in the latest Soviet Scud Missiles. Israel has no fears. The Syrians will take out their own population first!!
Twenty Syrian civilians were killed and 60 more were injured after a Scud missile test-fired jointly by Syria, North Korea and Iran in late May strayed off course, Japan's Kyodo News reported.
The launch was an attempt to test a new short-range ballistic Scud missile jointly developed by the three countries that they meant to replace an outdated version, according to the Japanese report, which quoted Western diplomatic sources.
A technical malfunction caused one of the two missiles test-fired to land in a market located in a town on the Syria-Turkey border, killing 20 and injuring 60 more.

Syrian military officials blocked off access to the area to recover what was left of the missile, Kyodo News reported, and told residents there had been a gas explosion.
The other missile may have landed in a border area between Syria and Iraq, the diplomatic source told Kyodo.
Kyodo also quoted a Middle Eastern military source, who said a problem with the missiles' guidance systems caused them to go astray. |

Analysis / Israel wrecked Arafat, crowned Hamas, and gave birth to Al-Qaida in Gaza
By Nehemia Shtrasler
Tags: Hamas, Gaza, Israel News
This week marked four years since the Gaza disengagement, and it seems that the Strip is becoming increasingly radical - that peace is more distant and the settlers who were removed from the enclave are more embittered. Did Ariel Sharon and the majority of the Israeli public that supported the move make a bad deal?
The settlers in Gaza won big time. They had two goals: to extract huge amounts of compensation from the government and to keep the issue on the public agenda as an open wound, as a traumatic and costly experience in the extreme so that all politicians who might dream of a similar solution in the West Bank would tell themselves that it is impossible.
The Sharon government made every possible mistake in its handling of the evacuees. Instead of giving all 1,751 households a respectable sum of money and telling them, "from this point you're on your own" - the way we absorb immigrants - it established a large and cumbersome administration that quickly became the address for endless demands and complaints by the evacuees. And now, just recently, the government approved that this administration continue operating for another year, and the Knesset is debating proposed legislation that would expand compensation to the evacuees. This issue will never end.

The settlers laughed at the government's initial compensation package. They knew with whom they were dealing and recruited a team of lawyers who worked for four years on increased compensation. At this point we have spent NIS 8.1 billion on the evacuation, including NIS 4.9 billion in investment in infrastructure and direct compensation to families. It's a huge, unreasonable sum and it's not final. At the evacuation administration, they expect the final amount to grow to about NIS 10 billion! These are much larger amounts than the Sinai evacuees receiv ... |
