Bismillah [IslamCity] A thought
A THOUGHT THE SERVANT’S EXTREME NEED FOR GUIDANCE --- The servant is in need of guidance, 3 at every moment and in every breath, in everything that happens to him and passes him by, for he is in the midst of many matters from which he cannot separate himself: (i) Matters in which he found himself because of ignorance, rather than guidance, so he is in need of seeking guidance to the truth with respect to these. (ii) Matters in which he knows the guidance, but did not act upon it in the proper manner, so he is in need of repenting from them. (iii) There are matters concerning which he did not know the aspect of guidance in them, neither in terms of knowledge nor action. ~ IBN AL-JOWZI ~ PoEtEsS "Prayer, wisdom, knowledge and faith are the best gifts that I have……"Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

HUMAN WISDOM, the MANIFESTATION OF DIVINE -- Behold this in the case of Moses and Mount Sinai. Discern form from substance, as lion from desert, or as sound and speech from the thought they convey. The sound and speech arise from the thought. Thou knowest not where the Ocean of thought is. Yet when thou seest fair waves of speech, thou knowest there is a glorious Ocean beneath them. When waves of thought arise from the Ocean of Wisdom, they assume the forms of sound and speech. These forms of speech are born and die again; these waves cast themselves back into the Ocean. Form is born of that which is without form, and goes again, for, "Verily to Him do we return." Wherefore to thee every moment come death and "return."

Phillip Hitti in 'Short History of the Arabs." During all the first part of the Middle Ages, no other people made as important a contribution to human progress as did the Arabs, if we take this term to mean all those whose mother-tongue was Arabic, and not merely those living in the Arabian peninsula. For centuries, Arabic was the language of learning, culture and intellectual progress for the whole of the civilized world with the exception of the Far East. From the IXth to the XIIth century there were more philosophical, medical, historical, religious, astronomical and geographical works written in Arabic than in any other human tongue."

Bismillah [IslamCity] Jewish American Converts to Islam
Jewish American Converts to Islam Joseph Cohen moved from the United States to Israel as a devout Jew in 1998, but within three years he had converted to Islam and become Yosef Mohammed Khatib, a supporter of the militant Hamas, according to a report broadcast Thursday on Israel TV. Now he refuses to say the word Israel, choosing instead to call the area "Palestine." His four children study the Quran, the Muslim holy book, instead of the Torah, its Jewish counterpart. It was while living in the desert town of Netivot that Khatib met a sheik from the United Arab Emirates through an Internet chat about Israel. Khatib said he spent hours corresponding with the sheik, discussing theology. Gradually he began to see Judaism as racist and turned toward Islam after reading the Quran, he told Channel 10 TV. The report did not say where he lived in the United States or give his age. Last year he told his wife, Luna, also a devout Jew from the United States, that he wanted to convert to Islam. "I said, `Listen, I love you very much ... and I have to be honest with you,'" Khatib said in the TV interview. "I read the Quran and I agree with everything it says in the Quran, and if I continue saying that I'm a religious Jew, I would be a liar." The family converted together and moved from Netivot to an Arab neighborhood in east Jerusalem. The children went from being top in their classes on Judaism studies to being well-versed in Islam, he said. Instead of supporting the Israeli Orthodox Jewish political party Shas, Khatib now supports the radical Islamic Hamas and believes an Islamic state should be set up where Israel and the Palestinian areas are now located. He praised Hamas for setting up social services for Palestinians but dodged questions about the other side of the Islamic group - suicide bombings and other attacks against Israelis. The United States has declared Hamas a terror group. Khatib differed from most Israelis and Americans in his views about Osama bin Laden, the top suspect in the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington. "I think that he's number one, Muslim number one," Khatib said with a strong New York accent about bin Laden. "But I don't think that he's responsible for the World Trade Center (attacks)." Wearing the white skullcap and robes of a religious Muslim, Khatib denied his Jewish past, insisting that he is 100 percent Muslim. He made a parody of a blessing that observant Jews say every morning, in which they thank God for not making them gentiles. "Blessed are Thou, Lord Our God," Khatib began in the traditional Jewish blessing, but ended it with, "for not making me a Jew."

Bismillah [IslamCity] Qur'an Wins Heart of US Professor
Qur'an Wins Heart of US Professor Dr. Jeffrey Lang is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas, one of the biggest universities in the United States. He started his religious journey on Jan 30, 1954, when he was born in a Roman Catholic family in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The first 18 years of his life were spent in Catholic schools, which left him with many unanswered questions about God and the Christian religion, Lang said, as he narrated his story of Islam. "Like most kids back in the late 60s and early 70s, I started questioning all the values that we had at those times, political, social and religious," Lang said. "I rebelled against all the institutions that society held sacred including the Catholic Church," he said. By the time he reached the age of 18, Lang had become a full-fledged atheist. "If there is a God, and he is all merciful and all loving, then why is there suffering on this earth? Why does not He just take us to heaven? Why create all these people to suffer?" Such were the questions that came up in his mind in those days. As a young lecturer in mathematics at San Francisco University, Lang found his religion where God is finally a reality. That was shown to him by a few of the Muslim friends he had met at the university. "We talked about religion. I asked them my questions, and I was really surprised by how carefully they had thought out their answers," Lang said. Dr. Lang met Mahmoud Qandeel, a regal looking Saudi student who attracted the attention of the entire class the moment he walked in. When Lang asked a question about medical research, Qandeel answered the question in perfect English and with great self assurance. Everyone knew Qandeel-the mayor, the police chief and the common people. Together the professor and the student went to all the glittering places where "there was no joy or happiness, only laughter." Yet at the end Qandeel surprisingly gave him a copy of the Qur'an and some books on Islam. Lang read the Qur'an on his own, found his way to the student-run prayer hall at the university, and basically surrendered without much struggle. He was conquered by the Qur'an. The first two chapters are an account of that encounter and it is a fascinating one. "Painters can make the eyes of a portrait appear to be following you from one place to another, but which author can write a scripture that anticipates your daily vicissitudes?... Each night I would formulate questions and objections and somehow discover the answer the next day. It seemed that the author was reading my ideas and writing in the appropriate lines in time for my next reading. I have met myself in its pages..." Lang performs the daily five-time prayers regularly and finds much spiritual satisfaction. He finds the Fajr (pre-dawn) prayer as one of the most beautiful and moving rituals in Islam. "It is as if you temporarily leave this world and communicate with the angels in singing God's praises before dawn." To the question how he finds it so captivating when the recitation of the Qur'an is in Arabic, which is totally foreign to him, he responds; "Why is a baby comforted by his mother's voice?" He said reading the Qur'an gave him a great deal of comfort and strength in difficult times. From there on, faith was a matter of practice for Lang's spiritual growth. On the other hand, Lang pursued a career in mathematics. He received his master's and doctoral degrees from Purdue University. Lang said that he had always been fascinated by mathematics. "Maths is logical. It consists of using facts and figures to find concrete answers," Lang said. "That is the way my mind works, and it is frustrating when I deal with things that do not have concrete answerers." Having a mind that accepts ideas on their factual merit makes believing in a religion difficult because most religions require acceptance by faith, he said. Islam appeals to man's reasoning, he said. As faculty advisor for the Muslim Student Association, Lang said he viewed himself as the liaison between the student and their universities. He gets approval from university authorities to hold Islamic lectures. "The object of being their faculty advisor is to help them get their needs met as far as adjusting to the American culture and to procedures of the university. They appreciate the opportunity to have misconceptions corrected," he said. Lang married a Saudi Muslim woman, Raika, 12 years ago. Lang has written several Islamic books which are best sellers among the Muslim community in the US. One of his important books is "Even Angels ask; A journey to Islam in America". In this book, Dr. Lang shares with his readers the many insights that have unfolded for
Bismillah [IslamCity] Khadija Watson's Journey of Faith
Khadija Watson's Journey of Faith She is an American from California. Her card gives you some clue: "Khadija Watson, ex-professor of theology." She has a BA and an MA in theology. She was an ordained, licensed minister, a Christian missionary who spent seven years preaching in the Philippines. That was six years ago. Today she is a Muslim and a teacher at Al-Hamra Islamic Education Foundation in Jeddah. When she first visited her children in the United States in an "Abaya" and "Hijab," they screamed, "Oh Mom! You look like a terrorist!" Khadija never thought in her wildest dreams that she would become a Muslim. "I had no inclination toward Islam. I had been taught that Islam was satanic and demonic!" What changed her mind? When she studied church history and learned that the idea of the trinity was introduced 325 years after Jesus Christ, Khadija's professors could not give her satisfactory explanations. She was also concerned that if what they taught was true, why was it making no difference to society which was growing steadily worse? While in the Philippines, where Khadija worked as a missionary and taught as a professor in two colleges, she enrolled in a German language class. There she met a Filipino, who impressed her because he was so kind and gentle. He always carried a plastic bag from which he distributed coins to the beggars in the street. He had been in Dubai and had converted to Islam. In the same classroom was a Filipina, who had been in Saudi Arabia and had converted to Islam. She was always covered. Khadija said she was shocked! "I could not believe I had met two Christians in one week, who had become Muslims. Especially, a woman! I was under the impression, like so many Westerners, that Islam considered women second-class citizens and that their husbands locked them up and beat them!" The Filipina told Khadija about the beauty of Islam and how it was a liberator of women and a protector of women's rights. Khadija realized that women were actually more abused in the West. "In the United States, every four minutes a woman is beaten by her spouse or partner so badly that she needs to go to the emergency room. In the UK, the same thing happens every two minutes. These statistics are based on reported cases only!" Khadija felt a stirring in her heart. Could she have been wrong about Islam? The Filipina suggested that Khadija visit the Islamic Center. "I prayed and asked the Lord to show me if Islam was wrong. Then I went to the Islamic Center. Their approach shocked me. As a missionary, I was familiar with many evangelical strategies and methods. These Muslims used nothing. There was no harassment, no psychological manipulation and no subliminal suggestion. They simply gave me some books and told me they would answer any questions I had." It was the first time Khadija had read books about Islam written by Muslims. She was surprised to find Allah is One, the Sustainer, the Merciful, the Ever-Present! "There was no go-between, no priest. I went back to the Islamic Center the very next day and guess what?" Khadija said, resorting to her wonderful sense of humour. "They gave me more books!" After many hours of reading and over 15 discussions, Khadija was convinced of the authenticity of the Holy Qur'an. "The Bible has more than 66 books, 40 authors and was written in several different languages. The Holy Qur'an has not changed as the Bible has." She became a Muslim and chose the name Khadija. "Because, like Khadija, I was a widow. I embraced Islam at about the same age as she was when she converted. I also have nine children as she had." Khadija lost all her friends and most of her family after becoming a Muslim. "My in-laws, who were from the Philippines, and had a very warm relationship with me even after my husband died, totally shunned me. My children who were good Christians because I had worked hard on them, had emergency meeting on how to bring mom back to her senses!" Khadija's 18-year-old son, however, became a Muslim. "Something I could not believe. He was into music and dating and was not ready for any kind of religion. I used to leave books for him to read, but I found them untouched. But I prayed a lot for him - and all my children - to become Muslim. Later, when he converted to Islam, he confessed that he had read all the books and kept me from knowing. He was the one who went to Makkah first. When he came back, he told me excitedly, 'Mom, you will love Saudi Arabia. All the women dress like you!"

Bismillah [IslamCity] Pig or Swine Flu' Outbreak in Mexico & USA Could Become a Pandemic
In a message dated 24/04/2009 4:07:27 P.M. Central Daylight Time, drskarim writes: Mankind is in Real Mess. The Pig or Swine Flu' Outbreak in Mexico and USA, is likely according to WHO to become a Pandemic, involving the Whole World. It is Necessary to Avoid Crowds, Subways, Shaking Hands, Kissing People as a Greeting. All major International Airports on Alert for any incoming or outgoing Passengers. The Pig or Swine Flu' Virus has been Identified by Canadian Laboratories, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. MEXICO CITY (AFP) - Mexican and US officials on Friday took emergency measures to contain outbreaks of a new multi-strain swine flu blamed for scores of deaths in Mexico and seven infections in the United States. The World Health Organization in Geneva said 60 people had died from suspected swine flu in Mexico, while Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova confirmed 16 deaths and said authorities were probing 50 more possible fatalities. Mexican officials warned people to avoid crowds or using the subway as they launched a massive vaccination campaign in the country's sprawling, densely populated capital. "The confirmed (deaths) from the virus are 16. They're studying the cases of 50 more patients who died," Cordova said on Milenio television. Authorities were probing 943 possible infections. "It's a virus which mutated from pigs and transmitted to some humans," Cordova said on Televisa television. US medical authorities expressed strong concern as seven known cases were reported in the southern United States, and underlined that the virus included strains from different types of flu. President Barack Obama was being fully briefed on an outbreak, said a White House spokesman. The US cases included five in California and two in Texas, in three clusters, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib told journalists in Geneva. The WHO, which has identified swine influenza as a potential source of a human flu pandemic, activated its global epidemic operations center. Mexican authorities closed schools in the capital and the center of the country and Mexico City launched a massive vaccination campaign for "all people who haven't been vaccinated" against the usual winter flu, local Health Minister Armando Ahued said at a news conference. "This new virus is susceptible to a specific antiviral, and the cases that are detected and determined as flu will be perfectly treated," Ahued said. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says on its website that there is no vaccine to specifically protect humans from swine flu, only to protect pigs. "The seasonal influenza vaccine will likely help provide partial protection against swine H3N2, but not swine H1N1 viruses," the website says. It was yet unclear which strains had been identified in Mexico, but the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said the "novel" A/H1N1 influenza identified in at least two of the recent cases by US counterparts might have a risk of developing into a pandemic-type virus. "It's very obvious that we are very concerned. We've set up emergency operation centers," CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told AFP. Mexico's Health Minister Cordova urged people to avoid large crowds, shaking hands, kissing people as a greeting, or using the subway. Medical teams were on stand-by at the capital's international airport, passengers with flu symptoms were advised not to fly, and all passengers had to fill out a health questionnaire, said Victor Mejia, a spokesman at the capital's international airport. There had been some 800 suspected cases with flu-like illness in Mexico, with 57 deaths in the Mexico City area, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said. Twenty four suspected cases and three deaths were also recorded in San Luis Potosi in central Mexico, Chaib added. Most of the Mexican cases were found in healthy young adults with no known record of prior illness. The WHO said it was in constant contact with health authorities in the United States and in Mexico. Human outbreaks of H1N1 swine influenza virus were recorded in the United States in 1976 and 1988, when two deaths were recorded, and in 1986. In 1988 a pregnant woman died after contact with sick pigs, according to the WHO. In recent years the global focus for a pandemic has shifted to the H5N1 bird flu virus, which has spread from poultry to humans and killed 257 of the 421 people infected by the virus since 2003. WHO experts have pointed out that pigs have been implicated in the emergence of new influenza viruses responsible for two of the previous century's influenza pandemics.

http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/9-11_solved118.html ITALIAN SAYS 9-11 SOLVED It’s common knowledge, he reveals, CIA, Mossad behind terror attacks By the Staff of American Free Press Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera: “All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe…know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.” Cossiga was elected president of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide election to become president of the country in 1985, and he remained until 1992. Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment, and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio. This was a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 1960s, 1970s and ’80s. Gladio’s specialty was to carry out what they termed “false flag” operations—terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition. In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force … the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.” Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9-11 in 2001, and is quoted by 9-11 researcherWebster Tarpley saying “The mastermind of the attack must have been a sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel.” Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga’s assertion that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge among global intelligence agencies is illuminating. It is one more eye-opening confirmation that has not been mentioned by America’s propaganda machine in print or on TV. Nevertheless, because of his experience and status in the world, Cossiga cannot be discounted as a crackpot.

As Salaamu Alaikum The Influence Of gossip cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people have on me. there are cases where people quarrel, fight and even commit murder because they are influenced by gossip, influenced by the words of others. To what extent do I check that I am not being influenced by gossip? Negativity in the mind is like poison. Negative thoughts are the seeds of negative actions. It might seem like a simple everyday occurrence - my friends tell me in the strictest confidence that such and such a person is like this and does so-and-so. I listen and accept without question because of the friendship. My attitude and actions now become influenced by my friends words, and I find myself acting and reacting in accordance with the information fed to me. Gossip and guessing bring sorrow, heaviness and distrust. Poison can come in many disguises, but poison is poison whether from an enemy or a friend.

Bismillah [IslamCity] School for the Deaf and Blind "finding it difficult to feed children"
hort story competition held in 1995 and also Gold and Silver medals at many national sports competitions. She is no more a burden on society, says a proud Melanie who informs us that she has been living on her own since she was 18. “I have hopes; hopes to build a house etc,” she says and with her will and determination, one can only hope more of her dreams will become a reality. Lack of meal donations Three main meals and tea are provided for the children at the Ratmalana hostel every day. However, due to a lack of meal donations at the moment the school is finding it difficult to feed the children says Nilanthi Jinasena, Board Member in charge of the Meals Programme at the Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind in Ratmalana. “Due to the financial situation of the country some standard donors have backed out now. Also some of the NGOs we received considerable support from have pulled out from 2009 reducing our revenue by about Rs. 7.5 million per annum,” Ms. Jinasena says adding that in January this year the school was facing a severe meal crisis. Elaborating on the meals programme, Mrs Jinasena said that usually meals are cooked in school and the donor only has to choose a particular menu from the given options and make the payment. “The donor can also contribute to the Meals Fund where the money is utilized to buy provisions. If donors want to give a meal on a particular day, we can reserve the date. They can be present at the meal time and if need be we organize the prayers as well,” she says.

Bismillah [IslamCity] The best love letter ever
As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables o! ver and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me. Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to your family you popped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!

Bismillah [IslamCity] Health tips
As Salaamu Alaikum HEALTH TIPS Medication should not be taken for trivial sicknesses. Such sicknesses could be treated by changing one's diet, walking about, change in environment, etc. For example, if you have a headache on account of being in hot air, sit in a place where there is a cool breeze. If your stomach is feeling heavy on account of eating, skip one or two meals. If your head is paining on account of lack of sleep, then sleep. If you are feeling lazy on account of excessive sleep, then sleep less. If you are engaged in excessive mental work and this resulted in dryness in your brain, reduce your work load and give the brain a rest. When such measures do not help, then opt for medication.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Optimistic women live longer, healthier
Optimistic women live longer, healthier Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:39:00 GMT Optimistic women who tend to see the glass half full rather than half empty live longer and much healthier, a new study has found. According to the study presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society, women who expect good rather than bad things to happen are 14 percent less likely to die from any cause. Compared to their pessimistic peers, optimists are more likely to be slim and physically active and are less likely to smoke. They are also less prone to high blood pressure and diabetes. Their strong social relationships help them cope with chronic stress, lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The risk of death secondary to heart problems is reduced by 30 percent in these women. "Cynically hostile" women considered as highly mistrustful individuals are 16 percent more likely to die from any cause and 23 percent more vulnerable to death from cancer. Scientists concluded that optimism is directly linked to longevity.

Bismillah [IslamCity] 'Israel tasked with spying on Americans'
'Israel tasked with spying on Americans' Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:28:35 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=75627§ionid=3510203> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=75627§ionid=3510203 Bamford says concerns over the relationship between Israeli spy agencies and the FBI 'greatly increased following disclosure of the Bush administration's warrantless eavesdropping operations'. The US entrusted Israeli intelligence services with spying on Americans after the 9/11 attacks, an intelligence journalist has revealed. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the White House launched a massive program to spy on millions of Americans, best-selling author James Bamford has claimed in his latest book, The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America. Bamford is a celebrated journalist who writes about US intelligence agencies. According to the author, the National Security Agency (NSA) was tasked with monitoring 'billions of private hard-line, cell, and wireless telephone conversations; text, e-mail and instant Internet messages; Web-page histories, faxes, and computer hard drives'. The two largest American telecom companies AT&T and Verizon collaborated with the NSA, assisting the federal government in eavesdropping on their customers. Bamford maintains that the bugging of the entire two networks, 'carrying billions of American communications every day', were handed to two companies founded in Israel. Verint and Narus, the two Israeli corporations, are 'super intrusive -- conducting mass surveillance on both international and domestic communications 24/7,' and sifting traffic at 'key Internet gateways' around the US, Bamford claims. "The greatest potential beneficiaries of this marriage between the Israeli eavesdroppers and America's increasingly centralized telecom grid are Israel's intelligence agencies," Bamford writes. According to Electronic Intifada, there has yet to be a congressional oversight of the Israeli intelligence-linked firms operating in the heart of the US security establishment.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Mossad linked to 9/11 attacks: Report
Mossad linked to 9/11 attacks: Report Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:26:15 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=87982§ionid=3510203> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=87982§ionid=3510203 At least 2,970 people died on the morning of September 11, most of them civilians. Newfound information has implicated the Israeli Intelligence agency Mossad in the staging of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. According to a recent article published in the American Free Press weekly, the revelation that the cousin of alleged 9/11 hijacker Ziad al-Jarrah was in fact working as a longtime Mossad agent is <http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/mossad_link_found_169.html> proof that Israel had a hand in the terror attacks on US soil. The New York Times recently reported that Lebanese national Ali al-Jarrah, a supposedly earnest Palestinian supporter, had been actually working as a highly valued spy for Israel over the past two decades. Al-Jarrah reportedly admitted that he had been conducting covert espionage activities against Palestinian groups and the Lebanese Hezbollah since 1983. "It is not the family's first brush with notoriety. One of Mr. Jarrah's cousins, Ziad al-Jarrah, was among the 19 hijackers who carried out the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001," said the Times. His connections with one of the key masterminds of the terror attacks have fueled speculations about Israel's recruitment of people claiming to be Muslims as undercover assets. Israeli connections to 9/11, according to the New York Times, can be traced back to the five 'dancing Israelis' who were witnessed jumping and high-fiving with shouts of 'joy and mockery' as Flight 11 and Flight 175 slammed into the World Trade Center in New York. The Israelis were reportedly held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released after they were suspected of being Mossad agents. Citing two former CIA operatives, the Forward weekly then reported that at least two of the detained Israelis were found to be members of a Mossad surveillance team. "There was no question but that [the order to close down the investigation] came from the White House. It was immediately assumed at CIA headquarters that this basically was going to be a cover-up so that the Israelis would not be implicated in any way in 9/11," the weekly stated. At least 2,970 people died on the morning of September 11, most of whom were civilians. Former Italian prime minister Francesco Cossiga has touched on the issue, suggesting that the events of 9/11 were none other than a CIA-Mossad inside job. "All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned by the CIA and the Mossad in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part ... in Iraq [and] Afghanistan," the Italian ex-premier was quoted by Corriere della Sera as saying. Jewish personnel working at the center were reportedly advised to skip work on September 11, 2001. His argument was further strengthened by leaked reports that employees of Israeli telecom firm Odigo -- which provides instant messaging services -- received a warning two hours before the attacks on the World Trade Towers and forewarned Jews to stay away from work that day. Odigo headquarters is situated 2 blocks away from the former location of the World Trade Towers.

Israel kills 23, kidnaps 300 in Feb. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:09:17 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=87239§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=87239§ionid=351020202 The Israeli army has killed at least 23 Palestinians and kidnapped 300 others in February, the International Solidarity for Human Rights says. According to the ISHR, those killed included four children and three women. In the Gaza Strip, eighteen residents died out of wounds sustained during the latest Israeli offensive into the region. The other five victims were killed in the West Bank, International Middle East Media Center reported. The ISHR report said that the Israeli army increased its attacks against the Palestinian territories, and kidnapped more than 300 residents including dozens of teenagers and a number of women. The institution added that most of the kidnapped residents have been taken to unknown locations after the army broke into their homes during late night hours, while a number of residents were detained on roadblocks in different parts of the West Bank. The ISHR slammed the ongoing Israeli violations in the Palestinian territories and called on the international community to intervene and oblige Israel to abide by all principles of human rights, and stop the attacks against the civilians, especially the children. Sixteen Palestinians also died in the Gaza Strip in February due to the Israeli siege as they were barred from leaving Gaza for medical treatment. Israel launched a three-week war against the Gazan population on December 27, leaving at least 1,340 Palestinians dead and 5,450 others wounded-- a large number of them women and children.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Iraq's orphans battle to outgrow abuse Part 3
Each room has seven beds, where the lucky ones sleep. On one recent day, children watched a soccer match on television while others scampered up and down the stairs. Two boys sat next to each other, sharing a pair of head phones to listen to music on a mobile phone. The orphanage owner wants the property back and staff have been given notice to clear out within three months: they do not know where they will go. "If we can't find another house, we will camp in al-Firdous square," said Samir Jassim, assistant to the orphanage manager. "Hopefully an official passing by will see us and find a solution for us." The orphanage depends on private donations. Sometimes it gets help from non-governmental organizations but it receives no government funds and is not registered with the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry. "It was too complicated for us. This is easier," said Jassim. Social workers say they pay special attention to children like Salah whose parents were blown up in bombings. A policeman took care of him for two months after his parents were killed near a mosque. Despite his problems, social workers say Salah has made progress: "When he first came to us, he could not speak at all, affected by the shock. Now he is slowly beginning to talk," said Jassim. Saif Salah Hisham, an eight year-old boy, also lost his parents to an explosion. He was four at the time.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Iraq's orphans battle to outgrow abuse Part 2
Samira al-Moussawi, head of the women's, children's and families' committee in parliament, said if there are a million widows in Iraq, there are probably three million orphans. The number of orphanages by comparison is small, and scant money is spent on the children by the government. Each orphan registered with the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry -- and not many are -- is allocated 15,000 Iraqi dinars, or around $12, a month. "These amounts are not enough," Moussawi said. "DOUBLE OUR RETURNS" Sociologist Fawziya al-Attiya said every dollar spent on the orphans should be viewed as an investment in Iraq's future. Drug-taking, unemployment, and suicide bombers were all a consequence of war, and the orphans it leaves behind are "easy prey" for terrorists and criminals, she said. "We urgently need to invest money to care for those orphans. We will double our returns by building society," Attiya said. At the Safe House, initially set up by a Kurdish agency in 2003 but abandoned to the care of its managers and volunteers when Baghdad became too violent, 33 boys aged six to 16 share 73 square meters spread over two rooms, on two floors. There, in Baghdad's sprawling Sadr City slum, they sleep, eat, study and play. The air inside is rank: a pool of raw sewage glistens outside the front door.

'Iran good example for African nations' Thu, 26 Feb 2009 00:43:02 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86805§ionid=351020101> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86805§ionid=351020101 Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (R) and Comoran President, Ahmed Abdallah Sambi Comoros says Iran can set a good example for those African nations which are seeking to safeguard their sovereignty. "Comoros wants Iran to come to her assistance and strengthen self-belief in the country so it can go along the path to improvement," Comoro's President, Ahmed Abdallah Sambi said on Wednesday in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He added that even with billions of dollars of assets frozen by Washington following Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic could manage to advance and represent itself as a shining example for world nations. "A few months ago, the news of Iran sending a satellite into orbit hit headlines worldwide and won great acclaim. The entire Iranian achievements are anchored in attempts made by both the Iranian nation and authorities," the Comoran leader added. For his part, President Ahmadinejad said, "Colonial powers over hundreds of years plundered African nations and deprived them of their wealth through coercion and deception in order to retard such nations." He added that bullying powers sought to build their own countries with African assets. President Ahmadinejad meanwhile expressed Tehran's support for Comoros and voiced Iran's preparedness to transfer its expertise in various scopes to the African state.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Russia sees no concern over nuclear Iran
Russia sees no concern over nuclear Iran Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:19:10 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86762§ionid=351020104> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86762§ionid=351020104 Russian Atomic Agency Chief Sergei Kiriyenko (centre right) and Iranian Vice President Gholamreza Aqazadeh (center left) There is no room for Western concern over Russia's nuclear cooperation with Iran, says the head of the Rosatom State Atomic Corporation. Sergei Kiriyenko, in a joint Wednesday press conference with head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEO) Gholam-Reza Aqazadeh in Bushehr, addressed Western opposition to Moscow's nuclear cooperation with Tehran. "Cooperation between Iran and Russia is based on international norms and conventions and it should be said that nothing is being done outside the non-proliferation framework," explained the Russian nuclear official in response to a question by Press TV's correspondent Gisoo Misha Ahmadi. Kiriyenko added that those who seek to make excuses to hinder the Iranian nuclear program should "lose all hope as they witness the level of progress at the Bushehr power plant." "Russia's cooperation with Iran in building the Bushehr power plant is not subject to any political games," he stressed. The remarks came after Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, in an interview with RIA Novosti, suggested the West had launched a misinformation campaign against the Iranian nuclear program to force an end to Russia's nuclear presence in Iran for competitive reasons. "Certain powers have sought to question the nature of Tehran-Moscow nuclear cooperation. It should be noted that their objective is to vie with Russia for Iran's nuclear market," Mottaki said in early February. The West argues that Iran has sufficient oil and gas reserves for power generation and that it therefore needs no nuclear reactors. However, Kiriyenko said Russia believes that under the supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog and while observing the non-proliferation rules any country can avail itself of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. "We believe that the structure in the Bushehr plant itself is in total conformity with the Non-Proliferation," said the Russian official. He added that Russia's cooperation in building the Bushehr plant removes every doubt about Iran's nuclear intentions, as the whole project is transparent in its entirety. "Anyone who thinks this project can be used for the proliferation of nuclear weapons can come here and see for themselves." The start-up of the Bushehr plant is considered as a leap forward in Iran's efforts in developing nuclear technology, which the country insists it intends to use for peaceful purposes. On the first day of the test run of the plant in the southwestern city of Bushehr Aqazadeh said the power plant would become operational in nearly seven months.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Google Earth exposes US base in Pakistan
Google Earth exposes US base in Pakistan Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:21:08 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86145§ionid=351020401> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86145§ionid=351020401 The Shamsi airbase with three drones visible. A satellite image captured by Google Earth reveals that the United States secretly operates drones from a military base inside Pakistan. A Google Earth image revealed on Thursday that US forces fly unmanned drones from the Shamsi airbase in the restive southwestern province of Baluchistan. The image obtained by the The News shows three drones outside a hangar at the end of the airbase runway. A compound on the other side of the runway appears to have sufficient housing for several dozen personnel. The base is located about 50 kilometers from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and is located in a way that allows US forces to launch drone attacks within minutes of an order. Aviation experts, who have been shown the image, have confirmed that the drones appear to be MQ1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicles -- the model used by the CIA to observe and strike militants on the Afghan border. Predator drones have a range of more than 2,000 miles and can fly for 29 hours, enabling them to hit targets in Baluchistan, southern Afghanistan and in the northwestern Pakistani tribal areas. An investigation by The Times, meanwhile, has revealed that the CIA has been secretly using Shamsi to launch strikes on targets on the Pakistani side of the border with Afghanistan. A spokesman at the US Embassy in Islamabad has declined to comment on the images -- or the Wednesday-released results of the investigation. The Pakistani military had reportedly allowed the US to use Shamsi, Jacobabad, and two other bases -- Pasni and Dalbadin -- in its 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. The then military government, led by Pervez Musharraf, however, contended that the Americans had left the bases in 2006. Senior officials from both sides have since denied repeatedly that Washington uses Pakistani bases. US drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan have caused hundreds of civilian casualties and have fuelled anti-American sentiments. The latest drone strike on Monday killed 32 people in the tribal agency of Kurram. Islamabad has repeatedly called on the US to halt drone attacks on Pakistani tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel WMD use in Gaza alarms NAM
Israel WMD use in Gaza alarms NAM Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:41:01 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86158§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=86158§ionid=351020202 The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has condemned the use of "chemical weapons" by Israel in its recent operations against the Gaza Strip. The NAM condemnation came after Tel Aviv was charged with the use of the controversial white phosphorous -- also known by the military as WP or Willie Pete -- shells during its recent three-week-war on the Gaza Strip. White phosphorus, classified as a chemical weapon by US intelligence, is used in munitions, to mark enemy targets and to produce smoke for concealing troop movement. It can also be used as an incendiary device to firebomb enemy positions. If particles of ignited white phosphorus land on a person's skin, they burn right through flesh to the bone. Toxic phosphoric acid can also be released into wounds, risking phosphorus poisoning. Exposure to white phosphorus smoke in the air can also cause liver, kidney, heart, lung and bone damage and can even lead to death. In a statement issued on Thursday at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, the 114-member group called on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) "to do its duty in this regard" and to help the Gazan victims of the Israeli aggression. Addressing the conference, Geneva-based Iranian diplomat Ali-Reza Moayyeri urged the global community and the OPCW to launch an investigation into the use of illegal weapons by Israel in Gaza. He further called on international organizations to step up pressure on Israel to halt its "weapons of mass destruction program". International organizations and human rights groups continue to voice concern over Tel Aviv's use of forbidden arms, such as depleted uranium and white phosphorus, in the war on Gaza which has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,330 Palestinians and the injury of thousands of others.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Turkey blasts Israel's truce violation
Turkey blasts Israel's truce violation Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:39:32 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83699§ionid=351020204> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83699§ionid=351020204 Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Israel violated a 6-month truce with Hamas. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has slammed Israel for 'failing to abide' by the Gaza cease-fire ahead of its war on the strip. "Hamas, without a doubt, erred by firing rockets at Israel, but we must consider that Hamas fully abided by the truce agreement with Israel for six months, even though Israel did not," Erdogan told Al-Hayat on Sunday. Israel unleashed Operation Cast Lead on the Gaza Strip on December 27, allegedly to put an end to rocket attacks against southern Israeli towns. At least 1,330 Palestinians died during the offensive, while some 5,450 others were reported wounded. Hamas says several of its senior officials, including late interior minister Saeed Siyam, were killed by Israeli forces. In his interview with the London-based newspaper, Erdogan said that Turkey would send monitors to Gaza "if they are required to stabilize the truce between Hamas and Israel." He urged respect for the Palestinian Authority elections and called on Hamas to playits proper role in the political arena of Palestine.

Worried Israel lobbies against anti-racism forum Mon, 16 Feb 20http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85829§ionid=35102020209 <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85829§ionid=35102020209> 10:48:14 GMT Dan Gillerman Former Israeli UN ambassador Dan Gillerman asks Australia not to send a delegation to a UN conference on racism known as "Durban II". "Keep away from Durban," Dan Gillerman told Australian daily The Age on Monday, adding that the forum would be used as a platform to bash Israel. The United Nations is scheduled to hold the 2009 World Conference Against Racism in Geneva in April. Israel's ambassador to the UN from 2003 until September last year also said the conference was a "charade". "Countries like Australia who, to my mind, represents the best of what democracy and civilization can be, shouldn't take part in this charade," Gillerman said. In November, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced that Israel would boycott the conference because "it was turning once again into an anti-Israeli tribunal". Last month, Canada announced that it was also boycotting the conference. France, Britain and the Netherlands may also pull out, while the United States is sending diplomats next week to participate in preparatory meetings for the forum. Israel also has been pressing the Obama administration to stay away from the meeting, according to US officials. However, the State Department said in a statement Saturday, "the intent of our participation is to work to try to change the direction in which the review conference is heading." During the Bush administration the US and Israel walked out of the first UN conference on racism in Durban, South Africa in 2001 over efforts to pass a resolution comparing Zionism to racism. Those efforts failed but there are signs the resolution may be reintroduced at the "Durban II" meeting in Geneva.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Poll: Americans want Bush prosecuted
Poll: Americans want Bush prosecuted Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:20:08 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85535§ionid=3510203> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85535§ionid=3510203 Americans want Bush to be investigated for wrongdoings. A majority of Americans say George Bush should face trial for his misdeeds, as US lawmakers are moving to probe into a raft of his illegal actions. Two leading Democrats, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy recently stated they are weighing the setting up of commissions to investigate possible Bush administration violations, ranging from detainee and interrogation policies to warrant less wiretaps and the firing of US attorneys. A USA Today/Gallup poll found Thursday that 41 percent of Americans favor a criminal probe against the former president, 30 percent back an examination by an independent panel and 25 percent say neither should happen. On possible use of telephone wiretaps without a warrant, 38 percent favor a criminal investigation, 25 percent an independent probe and 34 percent say there shouldn't be either. On possible use of torture in terror investigations, 38 percent back a criminal investigation, 24 percent an independent probe and 34 percent neither. Close to two-thirds of respondents also said they'd like to see formal investigations of Bush policies, even if not criminal probes. These results are based on a telephone survey of 1,027 adults conducted Jan. 30-Feb.1. The American Civil Liberties Union and other rights groups are also going to launch a campaign next week in a bid to raise public awareness and urge the people to press lawmakers "to fully investigate the US government's abuses in the war on terror and hold accountable those responsible." "The...organization is calling on President Barack Obama and the US Congress to create an independent and impartial commission to examine the use of torture, indefinite detention, secret renditions and other illegal US counterterrorism policies," an Amnesty International statement added.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Britain refuses entry to 'extremist' Wilders
Britain refuses entry to 'extremist' Wilders Dutch News: 11-02-2009 The Netherlands has protested to the British government about its refusal to allow the Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders to enter the country. A spokesman for the Dutch foreign affairs ministry told DutchNews.nl that Britain has banned Wilders ‘in the interests of public order and security’. Wilders was due to go to London for a screening of his short anti-Islam film Fitna on February 12. The showing of the film by the upper house of the British parliament was postponed last month following opposition from British Muslim community leaders. Extremism A spokeswoman for the British home office told DutchNews.nl she could not comment on individual cases but that the British government 'opposes extremism in all its forms'. The British government 'will stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country,' a home office statement said. Britain introduced tighter rules on exclusions for unacceptable behaviour last year. On his website Wilders says that he received a letter from the British embassy on Tuesday in which he was informed that he would not be allowed to enter Britain. 'Great Britain is sacrificing freedom of speech,' said Wilders. 'You would expect something like this to happen in countries like Saudi Arabia but not in Great Britain. This cowardly act by the British government is a disgrace.' The Netherlands is ‘extremely disappointed at the British government's decision' to ban Wilders from entering Britain, says the Dutch foreign affairs ministry in a statement on its website on Tuesday. Statement Dutch foreign affairs minister Maxime Verhagen has phoned his British counterpart David Miliband to express his displeasure that a Dutch member of parliament was blocked from travelling to another European Union country, the statement says. Wilders is head of the right-wing anti-immigration PVV party which has nine seats in parliament. Film screening ‘Whether that’s possible [the screening] is a decision for the British upper house [of parliament],’ said Verhagen. ‘But refusing entry to a Dutch parliamentarian to another EU country is regretful,’ says Verhagen in Tuesday’s statement. Verhagen initially put pressure on the British ambassador in The Hague to reconsider the decision to ban Wilders on Monday, the foreign affairs department says. As the decision was made by the British home secretary Jacqui Smith, the affair will be now be discussed between her and the Dutch justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin. In January, the Amsterdam appeal court said that Wilders should be prosecuted for inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims. <http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2009/02/dutch_protest_at_british_ban_o.php> http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2009/02/dutch_protest_at_british_ban_o.php ___ PoEtEsS "Happiness is the key to the foundation of satisfaction, contentment and acceptance…"Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israeli polls block UN aid to Gaza
Israeli polls block UN aid to Gaza Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:12:24 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85223§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=85223§ionid=351020202 A Palestinian woman waits to receive humanitarian supplies from UNRWA headquarters in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza. The UN aid agency in Gaza, UNRWA, says Israeli elections will prevent the group from aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip until Wednesday. UNRWA will resume aid deliveries to the population in Gaza on Wednesday due to the closure of crossing points amid general elections on Tuesday, said John Ging, the UNRWA director of operations in Gaza, on Monday. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has agreed to continue aid operations in the impoverished Palestinian sliver since Hamas has returned humanitarian supplies it had seized from UN warehouses last week. The UN had suspended aid deliveries to Gaza after Hamas seized tones of food supplies and 3,500 blankets. "The Hamas authorities in Gaza have returned to the UNRWA warehouses in Gaza City and Rafah all of the aid supplies," said UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness. Hamas has denied the charges, saying that the incident was a result of a misunderstanding between drivers and a lack of co-ordination. UNRWA distributes food to 900,000 of the 1.5 million Gaza residents. Meanwhile, Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN special representative for children and armed conflict, urged Israel to allow aid supplies and human rights textbooks, to enter the impoverished territory. "We continue to appeal for common sense to prevail and for priority to be given to the needs, first and foremost, of the children and then the rest of the population," she told reporters following a four-day visit to Gaza, the West Bank and southern Israel.

As Salaamu Alaikum Choose FeelingsIf your days seem filled with unwanted negative feelings, there is only one cure. When they come, choose them. Don't ask why, don't wonder how, don't fight them and never put yourself down for having them. But most of all never blame someone else for how you feel. If you do, it means you are still fast asleep and your choice is to be a victim. When the feelings come, even big disturbing emotional feelings say, "I choose this feeling" and know it comes because of something you have thought or done in the past, perhaps a certain belief that you have learned or an attachment that is threatened. Choice does not mean you want the feelings, but it does mean you are taking responsibility for them. And that is the beginning of self mastery. It is the first step to the healing and resolving of your emotions. But only the first step. Try this today and then ask yourself what the next step might be. If you are really interested to know, you will come to know!

As Salaamu Alaikum Look InwardsWe all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in. Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this? Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent experiences, so you never see your own riches.

As Salaamu Alaikum Goodness When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel 'will be back in Gaza in one year'
Israel 'will be back in Gaza in one year' Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:05:33 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=8§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=8§ionid=351020202 An Israeli jet bombs northern Gaza on January 18. The latest Israeli war on Gaza led to the death of at least 1,330 Gazans. An Israeli officer says Tel Aviv will return to Gaza once more within a year to stage more attacks against the blockaded strip. "We will strike again, not tomorrow but in a year," said a lieutenant colonel who spoke under the pseudonym 'Amos', AFP reported. Israeli forces "were very close to" the whereabouts of the Hamas leadership, he added in reference to the latest wave of Israeli operations in the strip, which began on December 27. "Another two or three days, (it would have been) a different story. The suffocation effect would have been much more effective," continued the army reserve officer. Israel ended its major operations in Gaza and announced a unilateral ceasefire after having killed 1,330 Palestinians and wounding 5,450 others. The majority of the victims were civilians. The officer claimed that the Israeli raids were originally planned to last "for two years" but were suspended "because (the government) got the shakes." The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza has been largely attributed to the resistance shown by Hamas. Some analysts, however, say the Israeli side retreated from the Palestinian territory to protect its relations with world nations. Some observers even say that Tel Aviv wanted to avoid burdening the incoming US administration with the conflict given President Barack Obama's promise to prioritize the matter. "It's a shame that Israeli leadership is always ... America," the serviceman concluded, suggesting that it is the United States that dictates Israeli policies. Hamas fighters have also promised to rearm amid reports of recurrent Israeli sting attacks in breach of the temporary Gaza ceasefire.

As Salaamu Alaikum love love is a powerful force. It can take us to great heights and leave us feeling light and airy. Yet it has been the most abused and misused force. Many degraded things pass for love. True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect and not simply on transient emotions. Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, God and each other. Love dwells in the soul. We must allow this love to flow out and around us. Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences, for indeed 'love is the key.'

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israeli 'eyes' fixed on Lebanon
Israeli 'eyes' fixed on Lebanon Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:41:50 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80880§ionid=351021701> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80880§ionid=351021701 The death toll of the Israeli aggression against Gaza nears 700. Tel Aviv has warned Hezbollah against intervening in the war on Gaza after Israeli fighter jets conducted overflights into Lebanon. In a veiled reference to Hezbollah on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tel Aviv is on high alert to respond to any threat coming from its northern fronts. "Let it be clear, we will make no compromise on our security... No one should get the wrong impression over our determination and our alertness on any front. We are not afraid of any confrontation or threat," Olmert said. "We truly hope that no one will put us to the test," he added. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak also issued <http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1053014.html> a strong warning to Hezbollah. "Our eyes are also on events up north…We are ready, waiting and following all developments," he said. His comments come after Israeli fighter jets conducted an overflight in Lebanese skies in what has been described by some as an attempt to provoke the Lebanese Hezbollah to intervene in the war on Gaza. Tel Aviv waged war on the Gaza Strip on December 27 and began what it claims is a <http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/116550/Israel-vows-to-wipe-out-Hamas-terrorists-as-troops-march-into-Gaza-Strip.html> "long-lasting" ground invasion of the area on Saturday night. Lebanon's Information Minister Tarek Mitri made clear on Tuesday that Hezbollah would not get involved in the most recent Israeli war. "We have not received from Hezbollah any sign that they will risk dragging Lebanon into this conflict." He, however, warned that if the conflict in Gaza carries on and casualties mount, there could be an escalation and "spillover of the violence". "The more there is a delay for the international community to act, the more there is anger.Whether this would lead Hezbollah to react, I don't know," he said. Hezbollah has reportedly doubled its military might since its victory over Tel Aviv in the 33-day Israeli war against Lebanon in July 2006. Israel fought a 33-day war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006 to destroy the military power of the Lebanese resistance group. According to a recently published Winograd report, the attack backfired and wreaked a humiliating defeat on Israel.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel sets up team to escape crime charges
Israel sets up team to escape crime charges Fri, 23 Jan 2009 11:06:27 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83409§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83409§ionid=351020202 Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has set up a team to defend Tel Aviv against the charges of war crimes during the 23-day Gaza attack. Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann will head the team assembled on Thursday to tackle the international lawsuits against Israel's use of phosphorus bombs against civilian Gazans during the three-week onslaught. The team will be reportedly comprised of representatives from Olmert's office and the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defense and Justice, as well as experts on international law. The team will convene in the coming days to discuss possible ways of handling the charges, a Press TV correspondent reported. Israel is accused of using white phosphorus in overcrowded areas and committing war crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged 'a thorough investigation' into Israeli strikes on a UN agency compound providing aid for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and on a UN school. The UN special investigator Richard Falk has also called for an independent inquiry into Israel's violation of international humanitarian law.

As Salaamu Alaikum A Benevolent attitude when you extend pure love to everyone with selfless motivation that is an attitude of kindness. When you send good wishes and pure feelings to those who are in deep sorrow, that is an attitude of mercy. When you see the virtues rather than the weaknesses in people that is an attitude of compassion. When you bless and uplift someone even as they defame you, that is an attitude of forgiveness. When you tolerate a situation and take responsibility as well as give cooperation even when not appreciated, that is an attitude of humility and self-respect. Every second, every moment and every breath of your life is nurtured by attitude.

As Salaamu Alaikum Staying peaceful desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have the more fear there usually is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel 'admits' using white phosphorus bombs
Israel 'admits' using white phosphorus bombs Thu, 22 Jan <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83315§ionid=351020202> http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=83315§ionid=351020202 2009 11:18:39 GMT Gaza under Israeli strikes Israeli military admits that it has used phosphorus bombs in a recent military campaign against the Gaza Strip which lasted three weeks. According to a military report, Israeli forces pounded the residential areas in the Gaza Strip with at least twenty phosphorus bombs during the offensive. White phosphorus, classified as a 'chemical weapon' by the US intelligence, is an incendiary material that causes horrific burns, severe injuries or death when it comes in contact with skin. Under the Geneva Treaty of 1980, the use of white phosphorous as a weapon is prohibited. Prior to the recent report, the Israeli army had been denying the use of the chemical against civilians despite the presence of photographic evidence to the contrary. Human Rights Watch had warned Israel not to use white phosphorus in Gaza, saying its researchers had witnessed the use of the substance by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the UN nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday that it would open an investigation into Israel's alleged use of depleted uranium during its Gaza offensive. The UN body responded after Arab nations sent a letter to the Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, asking for a probe into the issue. The Israeli air, ground and naval strikes on the civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip have left at least 1,330 dead - 460 of whom were children - and 5,450 others wounded.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Obama 'change' policy absent in speech
Obama 'change' policy absent in speech Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:05:18 GMT President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle at the Inaugural Parade after the swearing-in ceremony in Washington. The inauguration speech of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama has offered no clues about his foreign policy of "change". During his inauguration ceremony on Tuesday the first African-American to be elected as the occupant of the White House called on Americans to help him with the daunting challenges that lied ahead. "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America," Obama told hundreds of thousands gathered to see the festivities in Washington DC. Focusing more on domestic issues most notably the ailing US economy, Obama presented a typical 'no drama Obama' speech. "Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some," he said. There was little mention of his intentions on the foreign policy scale. "Know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more," the former Illinois senator said. In his speech, Obama addressed the Muslim world directly, calling for "a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect." Obama refrained, however, from mentioning the plight of the 1.5 million Gazans who were recently subject to Israeli military operations. On the war on terror, Obama echoed his predecessor George W. Bush with different words. "We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you," he said.

Bismillah [IslamCity] 'Gaza carnage recap on Holocaust'
'Gaza carnage recap on Holocaust' Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:57:42 GMT Sir Gerald Bernard Kaufman, Labor MP for Manchester The following is the complete text of Labor Member of Parliament and former government minister Sir Gerald Bernard Kaufman's speech, made during the January 15, 2009 House of Commons debate on Gaza: I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine. I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there since more times than I can count. I had family in Israel and have friends in Israel. One of them fought in the wars of 1956, 1967 and 1973 and was wounded in two of them. The tie clip that I am wearing is made from a campaign decoration awarded to him, which he presented to me. I have known most of the Prime Ministers of Israel, starting with the founding Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Golda Meir was my friend, as was Yigal Allon, Deputy Prime Minister, who, as a general, won the Negev for Israel in the 1948 war of independence. My parents came to Britain as refugees from Poland. Most of their families were subsequently murdered by the Nazis in the holocaust. My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The current Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt among Gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians. The implication is that Jewish lives are precious, but the lives of Palestinians do not count. On Sky News a few days ago, the spokeswoman for the Israeli army, Major Leibovich, was asked about the Israeli killing of, at that time, 800 Palestinians-the total is now 1,000. She replied instantly that "500 of them were militants." That was the reply of a Nazi. I suppose that the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants. The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asserts that her government will have no dealings with Hamas, because they are terrorists. Tzipi Livni's father was Eitan Livni, chief operations officer of the terrorist Irgun Zvai Leumi, who organized the blowing-up of the King David hotel in Jerusalem, in which 91 victims were killed, including four Jews. Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism. Jewish terrorists hanged two British sergeants and booby-trapped their corpses. Irgun, together with the terrorist Stern gang, massacred 254 Palestinians in 1948 in the village of Deir Yassin. Today, the present Israeli government indicates that they would be willing, in circumstances acceptable to them, to negotiate with the Palestinian President Abbas of Fatah. It is too late for that. They could have negotiated with Fatah's previous leader, Yasser Arafat, who was a friend of mine. Instead, they besieged him in a bunker in Ramallah, where I visited him. Because of the failings of Fatah since Arafat's death, Hamas won the Palestinian election in 2006. Hamas is a deeply nasty organization, but it was democratically elected, and it is the only game in town. The boycotting of Hamas, including by our government, has been a culpable error, from which dreadful consequences have followed. The great Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban, with whom I campaigned for peace on many platforms, said: "You make peace by talking to your enemies." However many Palestinians the Israelis murder in Gaza, they cannot solve this existential problem by military means. Whenever and however the fighting ends, there will still be 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza and 2.5 million more Palestinians on the West Bank. They are treated like dirt by the Israelis, with hundreds of road blocks and with the ghastly denizens of the illegal Jewish settlements harassing them as well. The time will come, not so long from now, when they will outnumber the Jewish population in Israel. It is time for our government to make clear to the Israeli government that their conduct and policies are unacceptable, and to impose a total arms ban on Israel. It is time for peace, but real peace, not the solution by conquest which is the Israelis' real goal but which it is impossible for them to achieve. They are not simply war criminals; they are fools.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Half of Gazan children need mental care
Half of Gazan children need mental care Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:46:08 GMT Children suffered the most during the Israeli attacks to Gaza. Mental health disorders are one of the largest - and least acknowledged - health problems threatening the besieged children in Gaza. Fear, anorexia, insomnia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), night terror, parasomnias, nocturia (night-time urination) and pavor nocturnes are among the many psychological effects the 18-month Israeli blockade has had on the children of Gaza. The Gaza Community Mental Health Program (GCMHP) has been tasked with treating the children in Gaza in line with a project launched in April 1990 by Dr. Eyad El Sarraj, the only psychiatrist who worked in the Gaza Strip at the time. "Around 50 percent of the children in Gaza are in need of mental health interventions, yet mental health services are among the most under-resourced areas of health provision [in the territory]," Dr. El Sarraj has told Fars News Agency in a recent interview. Picture (Metafile) Many children in Gaza have seen the death of their parents or family members. The program aims to provide basic counseling for people suffering from emotional trauma. "The lack of proper facilities prevents the Palestinians from coming to our office for check-ups. They tell us their problems over the phone," El Sarraj noted. Gaza has long been a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israel for understandable reasons. El Sarraj, however, has described the provision of mental health as an ultimate war front against the Israeli occupation. The UN Children's Fund has announced that the children are the main victims of the Israeli offensive into Gaza. "Each day more children are being hurt, their small bodies wounded, their young lives shattered. This is tragic. This is unacceptable," said UNICEF executive director Ann Veneman in a statement. The UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories Richard Falk has also touched on the issue of the ongoing blockade Israel has imposed on Gaza. "A recent study reports that 46 percent of all Gazan children suffer from acute anemia. There are reports that the sonic booms associated with Israeli overflights have caused widespread deafness, especially among children. Gazan children need thousands of hearing aids. Malnutrition is extremely high in a number of different dimensions and affects 75 percent of Gazans. There are widespread mental disorders, especially among young people without the will to live. Over 50 percent of Gazan children under the age of 12 have been found to have no will to live," says Falk. More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed, over 400 of whom are children, in the Gaza war, which began on December 27. Nearly 6,000 Gazans have been injured.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Moroccan Jews condemn Israel over Gaza
Moroccan Jews condemn Israel over Gaza Fri, 16 Jan 2009 07:18:13 GMT Director of the Foundation of Judeo-Moroccan Cultural Heritage Simon Levy Jewish communities in Morocco have condemned Israel's deadly military campaign in the Gaza Strip, calling for an end to the violence. "For more than two weeks the residents of Gaza, sitting targets, are suffering under the bombs, the widespread destruction, the lack of food and water… The pictures of Palestinian children torn from life are unbearable," the Council of Jewish Communities in Morocco (CCIM) said in a Thursday statement sent to AFP. "We, Moroccan Jews, are in solidarity with the innocent victims who are suffering, in Gaza and elsewhere… No just and viable solution can be found through force," the council added. The director of the Foundation of Judeo-Moroccan Cultural Heritage Simon Levy also said that the unjustified slaughter going on the Palestinian region was 'more than deplorable.' "It's horrible and it is not like that that I see Judaism," he added, urging international organizations to intervene and resolve the crisis. The condemnation from a community of over 5000 Jews came just a day after hundreds of Jewish Americans surrounded the entrance of the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles to protest Israel's offensive in Gaza. On Monday, many other Jews communities staged similar protests around the world calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Jewish groups in Turkey, Britain, Australia, and Canada organized demonstrations in favor of peace in the Gaza Strip. Reports indicate that Israeli Jews in Jerusalem (al-Quds) and Tel Aviv have also staged several protests in the past few days, calling for an end to the offensive against Gaza. The Jewish demonstrators, who were demanding an end to 'Israeli apartheid' in the Palestinian coastal strip, chained themselves to the entrance of the Consulate and blocked the driveway to the parking area. In another protest in Manhattan, New York, Rabbi Yisroel Weiss of the orthodox Neturei Karta movement also attacked Israel for its operation in Gaza. “We want the world to know that Zionism is stealing the identity of the Torah and of the Jewish people,” said the well-known Rabbi. The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, however, has responded to world-wide protests against the regime's military onslaught in Gaza by expressing concern over what she has called 'a wave of anti-Semitism'. This is while a third week of Israeli attacks come to an end in Gaza with over 6000 Palestinian casualties, including 1100 lost lives.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Jewish editor sacked for publishing article
ignore the truth among ourselves...politically, we are the aggressors and they defend themselves...The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country...". Palestine is a land that has been occupied and emptied of its people. Its cultural and physical landmarks have been obliterated and replaced by tidy Hebrew signs. The history of a people was the first thing eradicated by the occupiers. The history of the indigenous people has been all but eradicated as though they never existed. And all this has been hailed by the world as a miraculous act of God. We must recognise that Israel's existence is not even a question of legality so much as it is an illegal fait accompli realised through the use of force while supported by the Western powers. The UN missions directed at Israel in attempting to correct its violations of have thus far been futile. In Hertzl's 'The Jewish State' the father of Zionism said: "We must investigate and take possession of the new Jewish country by means of every modern expedient." I guess I agree with Ehud Barak ( 3 June 1998) when he said, "If I were a Palestinian, I'd also join a terror group." I'd go a step further perhaps. Rather than throwing little stones in desperation, I'd hurtle a boulder. Hopefully, somewhere deep inside, every Jew of conscience knows that this was no war; that this was not G-d's restitution of the holy land to it's rightful owners. We know that a human atrocity was and continues to be perpetuated against an innocent people who couldn't come up with the arms and money to defend themselves against the western powers bent upon their demise as a people. We cannot continue to say, "But what were we to do?" Zionism is not synonymous with Judaism. I wholly support the rally of the right of return of the Palestinian people.

Bismillah [IslamCity] A thought
As Salaamu Alaikum A THOUGHT OUR EARS THAT HEAR WITHOUT ANY CRACKLE -- Allah has created our ears perfectly just like our eyes. Imagine a stereo, for instance. Even if you turn on the best of stereos, you hear some crackling and hissing sounds. Radio channels often become mixed up. Right now, don’t talk but just listen! Do you hear any hissing? Your ears never produce any. You hear the sounds marvellously clearly. Well don’t you think that your ears could also have produced crackling just like stereos? Allah has created our ears perfectly and we are able to hear the sounds around us without experiencing any distortion. Allah has created our ears in such a way that we are unable to hear certain sounds that would disturb us. The blood in our body, for instance, flows very fast and it makes a lot of noise during its circulation. However, our ears do not hear the noise that it makes. Our planet also produces quite a strong noise while it spins. Nevertheless, Allah has created our ears so ideally that we don't hear this noise. Allah is very caring towards us. This is the reason why, throughout our lives, He doesn’t let us hear noises that will disturb us. This is why we have to thank Allah for His benevolence. ~ HAROUN YAHYA ~ PoEtEsS "Praise your struggles for they surprise you with many rewards…"Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Health Tips
HEALTH TIPs "Ablution prevents skin diseases: The prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “whoever performed ablution “properly” his wrong doings will come out of his body till they come out from under his limb-nails” [Muslim]. He also said “Verily, on the Judgment day, My nation (Muslims) will come fair and surrounded by lights as a result of ablution, whoever, became able to prolong the retaining of ablution should do” [Sahihs]. After a microscopic investigation to a microbe plant for those who regularly performing ablution and those who are not regularly performing it, the modern science confirmed that the noses of those who perform ablution regularly remained clean, pure and empty from any microbes. Therefore, the microbe plants established for them, appeared clean and empty from any microbe. Whereas, the microbic plants of those who do not perform ablution exposed a huge amount of different types of harmful microbes such as cluster microbes, rosary microbes which spread quickly and organic microbes which cause many kinds of diseases. Some cases of self poisoning results from the harmful microbes which stays in the nose cavity. These microbes enter into the digestive system and the blood circulation and create inflammations and diseases. Therefore, Islam, asked Muslims to inhate water into the nose three times during each ablution. As far as the rinsing-out the mouth is concerned it is proven that it protects mouth and throats from inflammations, gingivitis and teeth decay and erosion by removing the remaining of food. It is medically confirmed that 90% of those who lose their teeth, they face this because they don’t clean their mouth & teeth. The pus material and the rottenness get mixed with the slaver and food. The stomach and the digestive system suck them. Then they get distributed to different parts of the body by the help of blood, consequently it causes many types of disease. It is proved that the rinsing-out of mouth strengthens some muscles of the face and makes the face circled. Rather, the sport teachers mention this fact because they concentrate on the big muscles of the body. Washing of hands and legs also is very useful. It removes dust, germs and cleans the body from oily materials which come out through the skin glands. It also eliminates sweating. It is medically proved that microbes cannot attack human skin unless he neglects its cleaning. If man does not clean his body regularly then various harmful secretions remains on the surface of the skin and create severe scratching in addition it also becomes a fertile plant of microbes. Unclean fingers nails scratch and injure the skin and open entries to the microbes. Therefore, ablution helps cleaning the body regularly. Bacteriology scientists who examined Bacteria and funguses which can be transferred to the mouth and nose. Therefore, hands should be cleaned properly before cleaning other parts of the body. This has already been explained by the prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) who said, “When a person wakes up from sleeping, he should not dip his hand into the vessel (food – water) before washing it thrice.” It is also found that blood circulation at limbs is weaker because they are far from the center of blood pumping (the heart). Therefore, its washing will be a kind of a massage which helps to activate the blood circulation at these remote areas of the body consequently makes the person more vigorous. All these show the value of ablution that a Muslim performs. (Scientific Miracles in Islam and Sunna Nabaweya) Dr. Ahmed Shawqi Ibraheem the member of the Royal Medical Association in London and the consultant of International and heart diseases says that scientists came to know that the fall of the light in the water during ablution and also on the dots of water on the body gives birth to negative Ions and reduces the positive Ions and consequently it relaxes the nervous and muscles pain as well as tension and anxiety. This fact is confirmed also by an American scientist who says: “water has a magic effect Even the dazzle of water on face and hands – he means ablution – is the best means of achieving relaxation and eliminating tension.

Bismillah [IslamCity] War crimes trials loom over Israel
War crimes trials loom over Israel Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:39:11 GMT The Peace Palace, seat of the International Court of Justice, the Hague, Netherlands Israeli officials move closer to being prosecuted for human rights violations by international courts as they continue their war on Gaza. In its upcoming meeting, the UN General Assembly is expected to discuss whether to seek advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice about filing a complaint against Israel, The Guardian reported on Wednesday. According to the British daily, a Foreign Office source has confirmed reports that the UK government, under pressure from prominent law experts, may consider supporting calls for a reference to the ICJ. "It's definitely on the table… We have already called for an investigation and are looking at all evidence and allegations,” the source told The Guardian. The world's leading international lawyers have sent an open letter to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, calling for an end to Israel's human right violations in the Gaza Strip. "The United Kingdom government ... has a duty under international law to exert its influence to stop violations of international humanitarian law in the current conflict," reads the letter. According to the lawyers, Israel has violated international humanitarian law by directly targeting civilians and failing to discriminate between civilians and combatants. The special UN rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Richard Falk, has also criticized Israel for committing "crimes against humanity". Falk, who himself is Jewish, has called on the International Criminal Court to determine whether Israeli leaders and military commanders "should be indicted and prosecuted for violations of international criminal law". "There is a well-grounded view that both the initial attacks on Gaza and the tactics being used by Israel are serious violations of the UN charter, the Geneva Conventions, international law and international humanitarian law," Falk says. Falk has been expelled from Israel due to his criticism of Israeli policies toward the Palestinians -- the natives of the land. "There is a consensus among independent legal experts that Israel is an occupying power and is therefore bound by the duties set out in the fourth Geneva Convention. The arguments that Israel's blockade is a form of prohibited collective punishment, and that it is in breach of its duty to ensure the population has sufficient food and healthcare as the occupying power, are very strong," he added. Comments by the UN official come at a time that the UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution on Monday condemning the "grave" Israeli human rights violations against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel hitting Lebanon with rocket fire
Israel hitting Lebanon with rocket fire Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:04:51 GMT Israel has reportedly fired at least seventeen rockets into southern Lebanon within minutes after being hit by rockets from the country. "Between one and three rockets were launched from an area four kilometers west of the village of Shebaa and Israel responded within a minute with four rockets that landed north of Ghajar," AFP quoted a Lebanese security official as saying. Lebanon's LBC TV confirmed the firing of two rockets from Hassbia in southern Lebanon into the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmouna, saying Israel is responding with continuous rocket fire. Israeli jets violated Lebanese airspace following the incident. Hezbollah and Palestinian factions have ruled out any involvement in the rocket firing and there is speculation that people angry over the Israeli war on Gaza have launched the attacks. UNIFIL peacekeepers have also failed to comment on the incident so far. Last week, four rockets were launched from southern Lebanon into the northern Israeli towns of Nahariya and Galeli, wounding four Israelis. Following the incident last week, the Israeli army fired five rockets on the southern Lebanese towns of Hamra, al- Jiben, and Tayr Harfa, where the rockets were believed to have been launched. However they landed in desert areas and caused no damage or casualties. The Lebanese Hezbollah said that it was not responsible for the rocket fire. Tel Aviv later ruled out the possibility of Hezbollah being involved in the incident, saying the rockets were of an outdated model that Hezbollah had not used for years. Referring to the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that brought an end to the Israeli 33-day war against Lebanon in 2006, Lebanese Information Minister Tarek Mitri said, "Hezbollah has assured us that they remain committed to stability and Resolution 1701, and that is a euphemism for saying they are not involved". The Hamas movement also denied allegations that it was behind the attack last week. No group had claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks.

Bismillah [IslamCity] UK firm blasted for arming Israeli military
UK firm blasted for arming Israeli military Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:13:20 GMT Hermes 450, the primary UAV system of the Israeli air force A British company's links to the Israeli military come under scrutiny, as pressure mounts on the government to curb arms sales to Tel Aviv. UAV Engines, of Lichfield, Staffordshire, (known as UEL) is a world leading drone engine manufacturer that is owned by the Israel drone company Silver Arrow, which in turn, is a subsidiary of the Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems. reported. According to The Guardian, one of UEL's rotary Wankel engines is used in Elbit's Hermes 450 drone, which carries out surveillance and targeting operations for Israel's F-16 fighters in the current offensive against Gaza. Reliable military news journals and Elbit's own website suggest that the Lichfield factory produces engines for the Hermes, despite denials by Elbit's head of corporate communications, Dalia Rosen. "UEL engines are provided to the British UAV programs and to other international customers, not to Hermes 450 in the service of the IDF [Israeli military]," she said, rejecting all references given in support of the information. Elbite denies the sales although arms sales records indicate that the export of 'components for unmanned aerial vehicles' to Israel has been authorized by the UK government. Recently, many right groups and political figures have urged the UK government to stop the export of weapons to Israel, as the regime's deadly attacks continue in the Gaza Strip, in violation of a UN Security Council resolution. Last week, over a hundred lawmakers, from Britain's three main parties, issued a statement, calling Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip as an outrage that should not be allowed by the international community, and urging an embargo on the supply of military equipment to both sides. Campaigners against the arms trade also said that the sales must stop, citing the latest Foreign Office annual report on human rights, which raised 'concerns over whether Israel's use of lethal force has always been justifiable.' "We have been particularly concerned that, in the course of Israeli Defence Forces operations, too little effort has been made to avoid civilian casualties. We are extremely concerned by the humanitarian situation in Gaza and remain committed to supporting the Palestinian people." In a soon to be released report, Amnesty International has also urged the British government to stop selling weapons to Israel. "The UK should suspend all arms exports to Israel, including indirect exports via other countries and the sale of military components, until there is no longer a substantial risk that such equipment will be used for serious violations of human rights or international humanitarian law," says the UK campaigns director for Amnesty International Tim Hancock. During the 17-days Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, over 900 Palestinians have lost their lives, while another 4080 have been wounded. According to Hamas records, 33 Israeli soldiers have also been killed.

Bismillah [IslamCity] White phosphorus added to Israeli fire
White phosphorus added to Israeli fire Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:06:05 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/photo/20090105/davari2009010546328.jpg> White phosphorus is classified as 'chemical weapon' by the US intelligence. Tel Aviv had previously used white phosphorus during the 2006 war with Lebanon.Israel is using controversial white phosphorus shells to push forward with a ground offensive against the densely-populated Gaza Strip. White phosphorus, classified as 'chemical weapon' by the US intelligence, can cause horrific burns and severe injuries in anyone exposed to the element released from artillery shells. "The explosions are fantastic looking, and produce a great deal of smoke that blinds the enemy so that our forces can move in," an Israeli security expert was quoted by the Times Online. The shells were used by the artillery on Gaza City on Sunday, as Israeli tanks and ground forces pushed further into the region, tightening military grip on the city. At least 555 Palestinians have been killed and some 2,790 have been wounded since December 27, when Tel Aviv began its military campaign on Gaza. Earlier Sunday, Dr. Mads Gilbert, a member of a Norwegian triage medical team in Gaza, told Press TV that the medics have found depleted uranium in some Gaza residents. The Gaza Strip, one of the world's densely-populated areas, has been under an Israeli blockade since the Hamas movement won a majority in the 2006 Palestinian election and took control of the area in mid-June 2007. According to Times Online, the use of unconventional weapons in Gaza is likely to ignite more controversy over the methods the Israeli army uses. Tel Aviv had previously used white phosphorus during the 2006 war with Lebanon. Israel says its latest military campaign aims to force Hamas to stop its rocket attacks on southern I srael. Hamas has reportedly said it would stop retaliatory attacks if Tel Aviv lifts the 18-month blockade of the coastal sliver. The Bush administration has expressed its support for the ongoing military campaign, saying Israel was provoked by Hamas. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that the Hamas movement has held hostage the Palestinians who live in Gaza and have had "a very bad daily life." Congressman Ron Paul has, however, decried the Israeli raids, rejecting the idea that Hamas is threatening Tel Aviv's security; "Palestinian missiles are so minor compared to the fire power of Israel, who has nuclear weapons." World leaders, meanwhile, have called for an immediate halt in the attacks on Gaza.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Paul!
Paul: Israel had US OK for war on Gaza Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:51:14 GMT Picture (Metafile) Outspoken GOP congressman Ron Paul says Israel had received a green light from the US administration to wage war on Gaza. Outspoken Republican congressman Ron Paul says Israel had received a green light from the United States to launch an offensive in Gaza. The Texas congressman said the Israeli attack on the impoverished Gaza Strip shapes a bleak future for the whole world as it means that, "the whole idea of preemptive or preventive war is spreading." He went on to challenge the idea of Hamas threatening Israel's security and argued that "Palestinian missiles are so minor compared to the fire power of Israel, who has nuclear weapons." The US Congressman's remarks come as Israel continues to rebuff international efforts to end the assault on Gaza, and Israeli troops and tanks -- protected by heavy air, sea and artillery fire - have sliced through the center of Gaza and surrounded the main city. The tenth day of the assault brings the number of Palestinian casualties to 530 with over 2,600 others wounded. The UN says that about 25 percent of the casualties were civilian deaths. Paul added that the escalation of war in Gaza would contribute to the fall of economy on the global stage and in the US, explaining that the US involvement in too many wars is "draining us emotionally and financially". Congressman Paul said that even though Israel has carried out the invasion of Gaza, "the United States will be blamed for it." "Israel depends on us; they depend on us economically, they depend on us for their military power and all their weapons and they really got a green light from our administration," he explained. Paul's comment comes after US vice president <http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=80585§ionid=3510203> Dick Cheney said Israel did not seek Washington's approval for launching an offensive against Gaza. "They didn't seek clearance or approval from us, certainly," Cheney said Sunday. Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli website Debkafile cited sources in Washington as saying that US President George W. Bush had given a green light to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for an all-out military operation in Gaza. The GOP congressman also warned in July, that any Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would take place with the explicit backing of the US government. <http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=65029§ionid=351020104> Paul told Press TV that, "No matter what they do, it is our money, it is our weapons, and they are not going to do it without us approving it."

Depleted uranium found in Gaza victims Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:16:21 GMT <http://www.presstv.ir/photo/20090104/taabbodi20090104145846203.jpg> Medics tell Press TV they have found traces of depleted uranium in some Gazan residents wounded in Israel's ground offensive into the strip. Norwegian medics told Press TV correspondent Akram al-Sattari that some of the victims who have been wounded since Israel began its attacks on the Gaza Strip on December 27 have traces of depleted uranium in their bodies. The report comes after Israeli tanks and troops swept across the border into Gaza on Saturday night, opening a ground operation after eight days of intensive attacks by Israeli air and naval forces on the impoverished region. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Sunday that the wide-ranging ground offensive in the Gaza Strip would be "full of surprises." A ground offensive in the densely-populated Gaza is expected to drastically increase the death toll of the civilian population. The latest assaults bring the number of Palestinians killed to over 488 with 2790 others wounded. The UN says that about 25 percent of the casualties were civilian deaths - including at least 34 children. According to Israeli army officials, at least 30 of its soldiers have been wounded since the start of the ground campaign. Amid global condemnation of the ongoing violence in the region, the UN Security Council failed to agree on a united approach to resolve the crisis. " Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the Security Council," UN General Assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto said Sunday. According to diplomatic sources, the US blocked a Security Council resolution, with US Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolff arguing that an official statement that criticizes both Israel and Hamas would not be helpful. The White House has so far declined to comment on whether an Israeli ground incursion into Gaza is a justified measure.

As Salaamu Alaikum A THOUGHT SEEK A CURE O man of double vision, hearken with attention: Seek a cure for your defective sight by listening. Many are the holy words that find no entrance into blind hearts, but they enter hearts full of light. But the deceits of Satan enter crooked hearts, even as crooked shoes fit crooked feet. Though you repeat pious expressions again and again, if you are a fool, they affect you not at all. Nay, not [even] though you set them down in writing, and [even] though you proclaim them vauntingly. Wisdom averts its face from you, O man of sin, wisdom breaks away from you and takes to flight! ~ RUMI ~ PoEtEsS "Prayer is the stepping stone of rewards and success when my life has its trials and my eyes has its tears…"Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

Bismillah [IslamCity] A Thought
As Salaamu Alaikum happiness it is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Thought for the day
As Salaamu Alaikum Be Content Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future Anonymous PoEtEsS "Prayer is the stepping stone of rewards and success when my life has its trials and my eyes has its tears…"Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet) *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.
