Palestinian victims describe being used as shields by Hamas
Members of a Gaza family whose farm was turned into a "fortress" by Hamas fighters have reported that they were helpless to stop Hamas from using them as human shields. They described how for years Hamas has used their property and homes as shields for military installations from which to launch rockets into Israel, dig tunnels and store arms. According to the victims, those who tried to object were shot in the legs by Hamas.
The following is the full text of the comments by Hamas representative Fathi Hammad months before the war, articulating the Hamas ideology to use civilians as human shields for Hamas fighters:"For the Palestinian people death has become an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly [Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: 'We desire death as you desire life.'"
ZEPHANIAH 2:1-7
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.(ITS NO ACCIDENT THAT IN THIS GAZA WAR ITS ASHKELON-ASHDOD AND THE MURDERER HAMAS IN GAZA WERE MOST OF THE BOMBING ARE)(THIS IS PROPHECY COMING TO PASS BIGTIME)
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast,(GAZA) the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines,(PALESTINIANS) I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast (GAZA) shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast (GAZA) shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;(ISRAEL) they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.(BY THIS PROPHECY I PREDICT ISRAEL WILL RETAKE GAZA SO ISRAELIS AROUND THE WORLD CAN IMMIGRATE THERE AND BUILD HOMES AND LIVE)
ISAIAH 14:29-32
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina,(ARABS-PALESTINIANS) because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.(BOMBS)(WARFARE)
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,(ARABS) art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion,(JERUSALEM) and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

An M75 missile slammed into a home, crashing through the ceiling and landing on the floor of a balcony — but it did not explode, greatly limiting the damage to the home. Family members remained safe in the apartment’s internal bomb shelter room, meanwhile; although they were traumatized by the incident, they were physically unharmed.

WATCH: Destruction of Israel is not Hamas' end goal, says 'Son of Hamas'-Mosab Hassan Yousef tells CNN what it was like to grow up with Hamas' leadership; Hamas' goal is to build an Islamic state on the rubble of all other civilizations.By Haaretz-Jul. 27, 2014 | 5:30 PM | 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KakxXN5Z-XI
Mosab Hassan Yousef, who famously wrote "Son of Hamas" and later wrote and starred in the film of the same title, is the son of Hamas founder and leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef. Yousef betrayed his father and Hamas by spying on their activities for Israeli intelligence during the second intifada, eventually seeking asylum in the U.S. and converting to Christianity - the topics of his book and film.Interviewed on CNN's Tonight by Don Lemon, Yousef recounted what he learned growing up in and around the ranks of Hamas' leadership. "In the mosques Hamas' taught us that without shedding innocent blood for the sake of the ideology we will not be able to build the Islamic state," Yousef told Lemon.Yousef told CNN that Hamas's final goal is not just the destruction of the state of Israel, but "Hamas' final destination is building the Islamic caliphate, building an Islamic state on the rubble of all other civilizations." When asked whether or not Israel and Hamas can live side by side in coexistence, Yousef responded, "Hamas is not seeking coexistence and compromise," but the full destruction of the state of Israel.

Abbas Declares Gaza a 'Humanitarian Disaster Area'-PA Chairman urges UN to adopt the necessary measures for declaring Gaza a disaster area.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 7/31/2014, 3:14 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday proclaimed Gaza a “humanitarian disaster area”, Kuwait’s state news agency KUNA reported.According to the report, Abbas sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, calling on him to adopt the necessary measures for declaring the Strip a disaster area and urging the international community to shoulder its responsibility in this regard."The UN and its affiliate agencies must meet the urgent needs of our people in Gaza and provide them with relief aid," the message said, according to the report."The brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza resulted in a humanitarian emergency and suffering for countless numbers of people,” Abbas wrote Ban."Therefore, I decided to declare the region a humanitarian disaster area and I call upon you to shoulder your responsibility in this regard as per the provisions of the UN Charter, particularly Article No. 99," he added.Abbas reportedly called on Ban to use all means at his disposal as UN chief to provide urgent aid to, and protection for, the residents of Gaza.He also called for opening lifelines and establishing safe havens for the civilians displaced in Gaza in order to provide them with safe food, water and medicines.Abbas’s letter came as the Israeli government agreed to a temporary humanitarian ceasefire on Wednesday afternoon. Hamas took advantage of the ceasefire to fire a salvo of rockets at communities in southern Israel. The Iron Dome intercepted two rockets over Israeli population centers, while several others struck in open areas.The PA Chairman has previously vowed to pursue Israel over its self-defense operation in Gaza.He claimed that Israel has violated all the international laws in its operation in Gaza, stressing that "we will pursue the perpetrators of the crimes against our people, until they are punished."At one point, Abbas encouraged Hamas to accept internationally-brokered ceasefire efforts - if not in the name of Palestinian Arab unity, then at least specifically to hurt Israel.
Arab Leaders, Viewing Hamas as Worse Than Israel, Stay Silent
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK-JULY 31,14-NEW YORK TIMES
After the military ouster of the Islamist government in Cairo last year, Egypt has led a new coalition of Arab states — including Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — that has effectively lined up with Israel in its fight against Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip. That, in turn, may have contributed to the failure of the antagonists to reach a negotiated cease-fire even after more than three weeks of bloodshed.
“The Arab states’ loathing and fear of political Islam is so strong that it outweighs their allergy to Benjamin Netanyahu,” the prime minister of Israel, said Aaron David Miller, a scholar at the Wilson Center in Washington and a former Middle East negotiator under several presidents.“I have never seen a situation like it, where you have so many Arab states acquiescing in the death and destruction in Gaza and the pummeling of Hamas,” he said. “The silence is deafening.”
JORDAN-SAUDI DO NOT WANT PALESTINIAN STATE RUN BY HAMAS
Turkey and Qatar. This reaction shows again Ankara and Doha’s unwelcome position in the region because of their unqualified support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.Arguing that Kerry’s cease-fire attempt ended in a “fiasco,” The Wall Street Journal in a July 28 commentary underlined that Jordan and Saudi Arabia were also among regional countries that do not want a Palestinian state run by Hamas.Read more: http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/07/idiz-qatar-gaza-israel-operation-hamas-ankara-akp-erdogan.html#ixzz3934bSMfQ

Security cabinet instructs IDF to keep hitting Hamas-Army said to be making strategic gains — demolishing Hamas tunnels, killing gunmen, degrading ‘terror infrastructure’-By Raphael Ahren July 30, 2014, 9:48 pm 11-The Times of Israel
Amid mounting diplomatic pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire, the security cabinet on Wednesday instructed the IDF to continue to “forcefully hit Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza,” and to conclude its mission to destroy the tunnels leading from the Strip into Israel, diplomatic sources said.The army’s actions in locating and destroying these terror tunnels have brought about significant strategic achievements in an area in which Hamas has invested much effort over the years, the sources said.There were no indications that the cabinet, which met for several hours on Wednesday afternoon, had ordered the much expanded ground offensive aimed at smashing Hamas that key ministers such as Economy Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman have been demanding.The US is pressing Israel to halt the fighting. On Sunday, in a phone call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Barack Obama urged an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The UN Security Council also urged a ceasefire. On Wednesday, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond warned: “Israelis have to understand that while they are defending their security in seeking to root out these rocket launchers and deal with the attack tunnels, they are also undermining the support for Israel that exists in the West.” Netanyahu on Monday told Israelis to be braced for what he called a prolonged operation.The Israeli diplomatic sources noted: “The IDF also has significant achievements in damaging the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas and additional terrorist groups and will continue to act and expand these operations.”The army will continue to enact local and temporary humanitarian truces, like one observed on Wednesday in areas where there is no fighting, “without endangering the lives of Israeli soldiers and the operation to destroy the tunnels,” the sources added. “The purpose of these truces is to help the civilian population of Gaza.”The full cabinet will meet on Thursday at noon in Tel Aviv for an update on the progress of Operation Protective Edge.On Wednesday Chile, El Salvador, and Peru recalled their ambassadors in protest of Israel’s actions in Gaza that, according to Palestinian sources, have killed over 1,300 people. Israel says that hundreds of those were armed fighters and combatants.The IDF began Operation Protective Edge on July 8 with the goal of halting rocket fire from Gaza at Israeli towns and destroying a network of tunnels, dug by Hamas under the border into Israel, from which terrorists have launched lethal ambushes on Israeli forces.On Wednesday three IDF soldiers were killed and another fifteen injured by a booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic building in the Gaza Strip. The deaths brought to 56 the number if IDF soldiers killed in Operation Protective Edge, which began on July 8.On Wednesday afternoon, the IDF’s Southern Command chief, Sami Turgeman, said “many hundreds” of Hamas operatives had been killed, and that the IDF had destroyed hundreds of weapons storage facilities, and significantly compromised Hamas’s terror infrastructure.He said the IDF was “days away” from completing the military goal of destroying all of the tunnels, though the process is complex. Four tunnels have been destroyed in the past 24 hours, he added.Turgeman said the IDF expanded its operation Tuesday night, targeting new sites in the north and center of the coastal enclave.With the amount of concrete Hamas poured into the tunnel project, two hospitals, twenty schools, twenty healthcare centers, and 100 kindergartens could have been built, he said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Canada blames Hamas for Gaza fatalities-The Times of Israel-July 30,2014
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper blames Hamas for the heavy loss of civilian life in the Gaza Strip since Operation Protective Edge began on July 8.At least 110 people were killed on Wednesday alone in Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, as the Palestinian death toll after 23 days soared to 1,360. Israel says hundreds are Hamas and Islamic Jihad gunmen.Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have died in the fighting so far.“Obviously, no one likes to see the suffering and loss of life that has occurred,” Harper said in televised remarks.“That said, we hold the terrorist organization Hamas responsible for this. They have initiated and continue this conflict, and continue to seek the destruction of the state of Israel.”Canada’s conservative government has long supported the Jewish state and stressed its recognition of Israel’s right to defend itself.Israel launched the most recent military operation earlier this month to stop the indiscriminate rocket fire on Israeli cities and destroy the Hamas tunnels that infiltrate into Israeli territory.– AFP, Times of Israel staff
US calls for immediate probe into shelling of Gaza school
WASHINGTON – The White House expects a “a full, prompt and thorough investigation” into Wednesday’s shelling of a United Nations-run girls’ school in Gaza, Principal Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz told reporters Wednesday during an impromptu press conference aboard Air Force One. Schultz’s statement underscored similar calls from the State Department, but unlike the UN, administration officials refused to ascribe blame to Israel for the incident that Gazan sources said left some 20 people dead.Schultz seemed to dismiss statements from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon immediately ascribing responsibility for the attack to Israel, which he accused of ignoring repeated communications on the location of the school.Rebecca Shimoni Stoil’s story is here.
New IDF account of building where 3 soldiers were killed
The IDF’s Gaza Division commander, Brig. Gen. Micky Edelstein, said Wednesday evening that three IDF soldiers killed in Khan Younis were blown up in an explosion at a booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic that housed a tunnel entry shaft. Enemy forces blew up “the UNRWA clinic on our troops,” he said.However, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, the military unit that implements government policies in the Palestinian areas, later said that the clinic was last registered as a sensitive location three years ago, “and it hasn’t been since.”The spokesperson said the site had not been registered then as belonging to UNRWA, leading to speculation that, perhaps, militants stole the sign and tacked it on the door, posting it as a security umbrella under which a tunnel could be dug.The army named the fallen soldiers as Staff Sgt. Matan Gotlib, 21, of Rishon Lezion, Staff Sgt. Omer Chai, 21, of Savion, and Sgt. Guy Algranati, 20, of Tel Aviv.– Mitch Ginsburg’s updated story is here.

IDF: ‘Cowardly’ tunnel attack shows why Gaza op must go on-Video of Hamas killing five soldiers demonstrates that ‘such attacks can happen anytime, anywhere,’ officer says-By Raphael Ahren July 30, 2014, 11:55 pm 20-The Times of Israel
A video showing Hamas gunmen emerging from a tunnel, infiltrating an Israeli army base and killing five soldiers, demonstrates that Israel is faced with a cruel and unforgiving enemy and must continue Operation Protective Edge until all remaining tunnels are destroyed, Israeli officials said Wednesday.The video (warning: graphic content), filmed by one of the Hamas gunmen who participated in Monday evening’s attack on an army post south of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, was widely broadcast by Arab and Palestinian media outlets.“These are the people we’re dealing with on a daily basis – cowardly terrorists who don’t care about human lives. They’re on an ongoing mission to kill and maim, and to abduct Israeli soldiers and civilians,” Maj. Arye Shalicar, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, told The Times of Israel. “We have to be prepared for this to recur again and again around the Gaza Strip. Until we find and destroy each and every tunnel they have dug over the last few years, such attacks can happen anytime, anywhere.”Likud MK Danny Danon said the video once again proved that the IDF needs to continue destroying Hamas’s tunnel infrastructure and must not give in to international pressure for a ceasefire before the mission is completed. “The video speaks for itself,” he said. “Only two weeks ago, the cabinet approved a ceasefire proposal, but Hamas still has dozens of tunnels. Had we stopped the operation two weeks ago, now they would attack civilians and children in kibbutzim instead of soldiers.”Danon was fired from his post as deputy defense minister earlier this month over his sharp criticism of what be considered the government’s too hesitant response to Hamas rocket fire. “This video shows us the threat we’re dealing with: we have to deal with a professional and well-organized terrorist organization,” he told The Times of Israel.“And you still hear voices that say we need to stop now with the ground operation. But we cannot stop as long as we know they have more tunnels, and have capacity to build more tunnels. If we don’t destroy their terror infrastructure, it’s only a matter of time until we will see more tunnels and more attacks like the one we saw in the video.”Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi acknowledged that although the Israeli government knew about the existence of Hamas’s tunnels, it might have underestimated the organization’s willingness to use them to carry out brutal attacks.“Sometimes you don’t understand that they don’t need rational justification. They think that by killing, massacring, butchering your enemy, they’re going to achieve any of their goals,” he said. “Maybe we didn’t grasp, the way we should have, that these are tunnels that will be used for exactly the same atrocities” for which they are being used now.Speaking more generally, Hanegbi said that Israel finds itself in a bind because its restrained way of conducting war is interpreted by Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups as feebleness, which invites yet even crueler attacks.“When we show restraint, the other side… translates any kind of moderation, any kind of sanity, as a sign of weakness, as a symptom that Israel is not really determined to defend itself,” he said. “In the West, when you have a more rational thinking, compromise is part of your culture and part of your life. Unfortunately, with fundamentalist, zealous organizations, such demonstrations of normality, of realism, of pragmatism, of moderation, are being translated as a sign of weakness. And when you see that your enemy is weak you go forward and try to harm him much more.”One Hamas fighter was killed in the attack on the IDF post. Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, claimed a raid “behind enemy lines” in the same area and said it had killed 10 Israeli soldiers, but denied losses on its side. It said it had tried but failed to kidnap an Israeli soldier, and had seized a gun.Yifa Yaakov and AFP contributed to this report.
Israel must be permitted to crush Hamas-Washington Post By Michael Oren July 24
Michael Oren was Israel’s ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. He currently is a fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya and the Atlantic Council.U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary of State John Kerry and the foreign ministers of Great Britain and France all are rushing to achieve a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Their motive — to end civilian suffering and restore stability to the area — is noble. The images of the wounded and dead resulting from the conflict are indeed agonizing. However, these senior statesmen can be most helpful now by doing nothing. To preserve the values they cherish and to send an unequivocal message to terrorist organizations and their state sponsors everywhere, Israel must be permitted to crush Hamas in the Gaza Strip.(I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MICHAEL) This is the lesson of previous rounds of fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and terrorist strongholds. In Lebanon in 2006 and in Gaza in 2008 and again in 2012, Israel responded to rocket attacks on its cities with fierce counteroffensives. Fighting against a deeply dug-in enemy that both blended in with the local population and used it as a shield, Israel’s best efforts to avoid civilian casualties invariably proved limited. Incensed world opinion generated immense pressure on governments to convene the U.N. Security Council and empower human rights organizations to censure Israel and stop the carnage. These measures succeeded where the terrorists’ rockets failed. Israel was compelled to back down.And the terrorists, though badly mauled, won. Admittedly, their bar for claiming victory was exceptionally low. While Israel must achieve a clear battlefield success to win, the terrorists merely had to survive. But they did more than survive. Under the protection of cease-fires and, in some cases, international peacekeepers, they vastly expanded their arsenals to include more lethal and longer-range missiles. While reestablishing their rule in the streets, they burrowed beneath them to create a warren of bombproof bunkers and assault tunnels. Such measures enabled Hamas, as well as Hezbollah, to mount devastating attacks at the time of their choosing, confident that the international community would once again prevent Israel from exacting too heavy a price.
So the cycle continued. Allowed to fight for several weeks, at most, Israel was eventually condemned and hamstrung by cease-fires. The terrorists, by contrast, could emerge from their hideouts and begin to replenish and enhance their stockpiles. That is precisely the pattern established in the second Lebanon War and repeated in Operations Cast Lead and Pillar of Defense in Gaza. Hezbollah and Hamas sustained losses but, rescued and immunized by international diplomacy, they remained in power and became more powerful still. Israel, on the other hand, was forced to defend its right to defend itself. Jihadist organizations no different from the Islamic State and al-Qaeda gained regional legitimacy, while Israel lost it in the world.The cycle can end, now and decisively. As Operation Protective Edge enters its third week , responsible world leaders can give Israel the time and the leverage it needs to alter Hamas’s calculus. They can let the Israeli army ferret Hamas out of its holes and make it pay a prohibitive cost for its attacks. They can create an outcome in which the organization, even if it remains in Gaza, is defanged and deprived of its heavy arms. Of course, Hamas will resist demilitarization, and more civilians will suffer, but by ending the cycle once and for all thousands of innocent lives will be saved.Life in Gaza is miserable now, but if Israel is permitted to prevail, circumstances can improve markedly. U.S.- and Canadian-trained security forces of the Palestinian Authority can take over key crossings and patrol Gaza’s porous border with Egypt. Rather than be funneled into Hamas’s war chest, international aid can be transferred directly to the civilian population to repair war damage and stimulate economic growth. Terrorist groups and their state patrons can be put on notice: The game has changed unalterably.And by letting Israel regain its security with regard to Gaza — with all the pain it entails — the United States and its allies will be safeguarding their own. Though bitter, the fighting between Israel and Hamas raging in Gaza’s alleyways is merely part of the far vaster struggle between rational nations and the al-Qaeda and Islamic State-like forces seeking their destruction. Relative to that global conflict, Operation Protective Edge may seem small, but it is nevertheless pivotal. To ensure that it concludes with a categorical Israeli win is in the world’s fundamental interest. To guarantee peace, this war must be given a chance.
Palestinian victims describe being used as shields by Hamas
Members of a Gaza family whose farm was turned into a "fortress" by Hamas fighters have reported that they were helpless to stop Hamas from using them as human shields. They described how for years Hamas has used their property and homes as shields for military installations from which to launch rockets into Israel, dig tunnels and store arms. According to the victims, those who tried to object were shot in the legs by Hamas.
The following is the full text of the comments by Hamas representative Fathi Hammad months before the war, articulating the Hamas ideology to use civilians as human shields for Hamas fighters:"For the Palestinian people death has become an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly [Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: 'We desire death as you desire life.'"
ZEPHANIAH 2:1-7
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.(ITS NO ACCIDENT THAT IN THIS GAZA WAR ITS ASHKELON-ASHDOD AND THE MURDERER HAMAS IN GAZA WERE MOST OF THE BOMBING ARE)(THIS IS PROPHECY COMING TO PASS BIGTIME)
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast,(GAZA) the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines,(PALESTINIANS) I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast (GAZA) shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast (GAZA) shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;(ISRAEL) they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.(BY THIS PROPHECY I PREDICT ISRAEL WILL RETAKE GAZA SO ISRAELIS AROUND THE WORLD CAN IMMIGRATE THERE AND BUILD HOMES AND LIVE)
ISAIAH 14:29-32
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina,(ARABS-PALESTINIANS) because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.(BOMBS)(WARFARE)
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,(ARABS) art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion,(JERUSALEM) and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

WATCH: Destruction of Israel is not Hamas' end goal, says 'Son of Hamas'-Mosab Hassan Yousef tells CNN what it was like to grow up with Hamas' leadership; Hamas' goal is to build an Islamic state on the rubble of all other civilizations.By Haaretz-Jul. 27, 2014 | 5:30 PM | 2

Mosab Hassan Yousef, who famously wrote "Son of Hamas" and later wrote and starred in the film of the same title, is the son of Hamas founder and leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef. Yousef betrayed his father and Hamas by spying on their activities for Israeli intelligence during the second intifada, eventually seeking asylum in the U.S. and converting to Christianity - the topics of his book and film.Interviewed on CNN's Tonight by Don Lemon, Yousef recounted what he learned growing up in and around the ranks of Hamas' leadership. "In the mosques Hamas' taught us that without shedding innocent blood for the sake of the ideology we will not be able to build the Islamic state," Yousef told Lemon.Yousef told CNN that Hamas's final goal is not just the destruction of the state of Israel, but "Hamas' final destination is building the Islamic caliphate, building an Islamic state on the rubble of all other civilizations." When asked whether or not Israel and Hamas can live side by side in coexistence, Yousef responded, "Hamas is not seeking coexistence and compromise," but the full destruction of the state of Israel.

Abbas Declares Gaza a 'Humanitarian Disaster Area'-PA Chairman urges UN to adopt the necessary measures for declaring Gaza a disaster area.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 7/31/2014, 3:14 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday proclaimed Gaza a “humanitarian disaster area”, Kuwait’s state news agency KUNA reported.According to the report, Abbas sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, calling on him to adopt the necessary measures for declaring the Strip a disaster area and urging the international community to shoulder its responsibility in this regard."The UN and its affiliate agencies must meet the urgent needs of our people in Gaza and provide them with relief aid," the message said, according to the report."The brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza resulted in a humanitarian emergency and suffering for countless numbers of people,” Abbas wrote Ban."Therefore, I decided to declare the region a humanitarian disaster area and I call upon you to shoulder your responsibility in this regard as per the provisions of the UN Charter, particularly Article No. 99," he added.Abbas reportedly called on Ban to use all means at his disposal as UN chief to provide urgent aid to, and protection for, the residents of Gaza.He also called for opening lifelines and establishing safe havens for the civilians displaced in Gaza in order to provide them with safe food, water and medicines.Abbas’s letter came as the Israeli government agreed to a temporary humanitarian ceasefire on Wednesday afternoon. Hamas took advantage of the ceasefire to fire a salvo of rockets at communities in southern Israel. The Iron Dome intercepted two rockets over Israeli population centers, while several others struck in open areas.The PA Chairman has previously vowed to pursue Israel over its self-defense operation in Gaza.He claimed that Israel has violated all the international laws in its operation in Gaza, stressing that "we will pursue the perpetrators of the crimes against our people, until they are punished."At one point, Abbas encouraged Hamas to accept internationally-brokered ceasefire efforts - if not in the name of Palestinian Arab unity, then at least specifically to hurt Israel.
Arab Leaders, Viewing Hamas as Worse Than Israel, Stay Silent
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK-JULY 31,14-NEW YORK TIMES
After the military ouster of the Islamist government in Cairo last year, Egypt has led a new coalition of Arab states — including Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — that has effectively lined up with Israel in its fight against Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip. That, in turn, may have contributed to the failure of the antagonists to reach a negotiated cease-fire even after more than three weeks of bloodshed.
“The Arab states’ loathing and fear of political Islam is so strong that it outweighs their allergy to Benjamin Netanyahu,” the prime minister of Israel, said Aaron David Miller, a scholar at the Wilson Center in Washington and a former Middle East negotiator under several presidents.“I have never seen a situation like it, where you have so many Arab states acquiescing in the death and destruction in Gaza and the pummeling of Hamas,” he said. “The silence is deafening.”

This reaction shows again Ankara and Doha’s unwelcome position in the region because of their unqualified support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.Arguing that Kerry’s cease-fire attempt ended in a “fiasco,” The Wall Street Journal in a July 28 commentary underlined that Jordan and Saudi Arabia were also among regional countries that do not want a Palestinian state run by Hamas.Read more: http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/07/idiz-qatar-gaza-israel-operation-hamas-ankara-akp-erdogan.html#ixzz3934bSMfQ

Security cabinet instructs IDF to keep hitting Hamas-Army said to be making strategic gains — demolishing Hamas tunnels, killing gunmen, degrading ‘terror infrastructure’-By Raphael Ahren July 30, 2014, 9:48 pm 11-The Times of Israel
Amid mounting diplomatic pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire, the security cabinet on Wednesday instructed the IDF to continue to “forcefully hit Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza,” and to conclude its mission to destroy the tunnels leading from the Strip into Israel, diplomatic sources said.The army’s actions in locating and destroying these terror tunnels have brought about significant strategic achievements in an area in which Hamas has invested much effort over the years, the sources said.There were no indications that the cabinet, which met for several hours on Wednesday afternoon, had ordered the much expanded ground offensive aimed at smashing Hamas that key ministers such as Economy Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman have been demanding.The US is pressing Israel to halt the fighting. On Sunday, in a phone call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Barack Obama urged an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The UN Security Council also urged a ceasefire. On Wednesday, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond warned: “Israelis have to understand that while they are defending their security in seeking to root out these rocket launchers and deal with the attack tunnels, they are also undermining the support for Israel that exists in the West.” Netanyahu on Monday told Israelis to be braced for what he called a prolonged operation.The Israeli diplomatic sources noted: “The IDF also has significant achievements in damaging the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas and additional terrorist groups and will continue to act and expand these operations.”The army will continue to enact local and temporary humanitarian truces, like one observed on Wednesday in areas where there is no fighting, “without endangering the lives of Israeli soldiers and the operation to destroy the tunnels,” the sources added. “The purpose of these truces is to help the civilian population of Gaza.”The full cabinet will meet on Thursday at noon in Tel Aviv for an update on the progress of Operation Protective Edge.On Wednesday Chile, El Salvador, and Peru recalled their ambassadors in protest of Israel’s actions in Gaza that, according to Palestinian sources, have killed over 1,300 people. Israel says that hundreds of those were armed fighters and combatants.The IDF began Operation Protective Edge on July 8 with the goal of halting rocket fire from Gaza at Israeli towns and destroying a network of tunnels, dug by Hamas under the border into Israel, from which terrorists have launched lethal ambushes on Israeli forces.On Wednesday three IDF soldiers were killed and another fifteen injured by a booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic building in the Gaza Strip. The deaths brought to 56 the number if IDF soldiers killed in Operation Protective Edge, which began on July 8.On Wednesday afternoon, the IDF’s Southern Command chief, Sami Turgeman, said “many hundreds” of Hamas operatives had been killed, and that the IDF had destroyed hundreds of weapons storage facilities, and significantly compromised Hamas’s terror infrastructure.He said the IDF was “days away” from completing the military goal of destroying all of the tunnels, though the process is complex. Four tunnels have been destroyed in the past 24 hours, he added.Turgeman said the IDF expanded its operation Tuesday night, targeting new sites in the north and center of the coastal enclave.With the amount of concrete Hamas poured into the tunnel project, two hospitals, twenty schools, twenty healthcare centers, and 100 kindergartens could have been built, he said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Canada blames Hamas for Gaza fatalities-The Times of Israel-July 30,2014
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper blames Hamas for the heavy loss of civilian life in the Gaza Strip since Operation Protective Edge began on July 8.At least 110 people were killed on Wednesday alone in Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, as the Palestinian death toll after 23 days soared to 1,360. Israel says hundreds are Hamas and Islamic Jihad gunmen.Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have died in the fighting so far.“Obviously, no one likes to see the suffering and loss of life that has occurred,” Harper said in televised remarks.“That said, we hold the terrorist organization Hamas responsible for this. They have initiated and continue this conflict, and continue to seek the destruction of the state of Israel.”Canada’s conservative government has long supported the Jewish state and stressed its recognition of Israel’s right to defend itself.Israel launched the most recent military operation earlier this month to stop the indiscriminate rocket fire on Israeli cities and destroy the Hamas tunnels that infiltrate into Israeli territory.– AFP, Times of Israel staff
US calls for immediate probe into shelling of Gaza school
WASHINGTON – The White House expects a “a full, prompt and thorough investigation” into Wednesday’s shelling of a United Nations-run girls’ school in Gaza, Principal Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz told reporters Wednesday during an impromptu press conference aboard Air Force One. Schultz’s statement underscored similar calls from the State Department, but unlike the UN, administration officials refused to ascribe blame to Israel for the incident that Gazan sources said left some 20 people dead.Schultz seemed to dismiss statements from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon immediately ascribing responsibility for the attack to Israel, which he accused of ignoring repeated communications on the location of the school.Rebecca Shimoni Stoil’s story is here.
New IDF account of building where 3 soldiers were killed
The IDF’s Gaza Division commander, Brig. Gen. Micky Edelstein, said Wednesday evening that three IDF soldiers killed in Khan Younis were blown up in an explosion at a booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic that housed a tunnel entry shaft. Enemy forces blew up “the UNRWA clinic on our troops,” he said.However, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, the military unit that implements government policies in the Palestinian areas, later said that the clinic was last registered as a sensitive location three years ago, “and it hasn’t been since.”The spokesperson said the site had not been registered then as belonging to UNRWA, leading to speculation that, perhaps, militants stole the sign and tacked it on the door, posting it as a security umbrella under which a tunnel could be dug.The army named the fallen soldiers as Staff Sgt. Matan Gotlib, 21, of Rishon Lezion, Staff Sgt. Omer Chai, 21, of Savion, and Sgt. Guy Algranati, 20, of Tel Aviv.– Mitch Ginsburg’s updated story is here.

IDF: ‘Cowardly’ tunnel attack shows why Gaza op must go on-Video of Hamas killing five soldiers demonstrates that ‘such attacks can happen anytime, anywhere,’ officer says-By Raphael Ahren July 30, 2014, 11:55 pm 20-The Times of Israel
A video showing Hamas gunmen emerging from a tunnel, infiltrating an Israeli army base and killing five soldiers, demonstrates that Israel is faced with a cruel and unforgiving enemy and must continue Operation Protective Edge until all remaining tunnels are destroyed, Israeli officials said Wednesday.The video (warning: graphic content), filmed by one of the Hamas gunmen who participated in Monday evening’s attack on an army post south of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, was widely broadcast by Arab and Palestinian media outlets.“These are the people we’re dealing with on a daily basis – cowardly terrorists who don’t care about human lives. They’re on an ongoing mission to kill and maim, and to abduct Israeli soldiers and civilians,” Maj. Arye Shalicar, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, told The Times of Israel. “We have to be prepared for this to recur again and again around the Gaza Strip. Until we find and destroy each and every tunnel they have dug over the last few years, such attacks can happen anytime, anywhere.”Likud MK Danny Danon said the video once again proved that the IDF needs to continue destroying Hamas’s tunnel infrastructure and must not give in to international pressure for a ceasefire before the mission is completed. “The video speaks for itself,” he said. “Only two weeks ago, the cabinet approved a ceasefire proposal, but Hamas still has dozens of tunnels. Had we stopped the operation two weeks ago, now they would attack civilians and children in kibbutzim instead of soldiers.”Danon was fired from his post as deputy defense minister earlier this month over his sharp criticism of what be considered the government’s too hesitant response to Hamas rocket fire. “This video shows us the threat we’re dealing with: we have to deal with a professional and well-organized terrorist organization,” he told The Times of Israel.“And you still hear voices that say we need to stop now with the ground operation. But we cannot stop as long as we know they have more tunnels, and have capacity to build more tunnels. If we don’t destroy their terror infrastructure, it’s only a matter of time until we will see more tunnels and more attacks like the one we saw in the video.”Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi acknowledged that although the Israeli government knew about the existence of Hamas’s tunnels, it might have underestimated the organization’s willingness to use them to carry out brutal attacks.“Sometimes you don’t understand that they don’t need rational justification. They think that by killing, massacring, butchering your enemy, they’re going to achieve any of their goals,” he said. “Maybe we didn’t grasp, the way we should have, that these are tunnels that will be used for exactly the same atrocities” for which they are being used now.Speaking more generally, Hanegbi said that Israel finds itself in a bind because its restrained way of conducting war is interpreted by Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups as feebleness, which invites yet even crueler attacks.“When we show restraint, the other side… translates any kind of moderation, any kind of sanity, as a sign of weakness, as a symptom that Israel is not really determined to defend itself,” he said. “In the West, when you have a more rational thinking, compromise is part of your culture and part of your life. Unfortunately, with fundamentalist, zealous organizations, such demonstrations of normality, of realism, of pragmatism, of moderation, are being translated as a sign of weakness. And when you see that your enemy is weak you go forward and try to harm him much more.”One Hamas fighter was killed in the attack on the IDF post. Hamas’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, claimed a raid “behind enemy lines” in the same area and said it had killed 10 Israeli soldiers, but denied losses on its side. It said it had tried but failed to kidnap an Israeli soldier, and had seized a gun.Yifa Yaakov and AFP contributed to this report.
Israel must be permitted to crush Hamas-Washington Post By Michael Oren July 24
Michael Oren was Israel’s ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. He currently is a fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya and the Atlantic Council.U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary of State John Kerry and the foreign ministers of Great Britain and France all are rushing to achieve a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Their motive — to end civilian suffering and restore stability to the area — is noble. The images of the wounded and dead resulting from the conflict are indeed agonizing. However, these senior statesmen can be most helpful now by doing nothing. To preserve the values they cherish and to send an unequivocal message to terrorist organizations and their state sponsors everywhere, Israel must be permitted to crush Hamas in the Gaza Strip.(I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MICHAEL) This is the lesson of previous rounds of fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and terrorist strongholds. In Lebanon in 2006 and in Gaza in 2008 and again in 2012, Israel responded to rocket attacks on its cities with fierce counteroffensives. Fighting against a deeply dug-in enemy that both blended in with the local population and used it as a shield, Israel’s best efforts to avoid civilian casualties invariably proved limited. Incensed world opinion generated immense pressure on governments to convene the U.N. Security Council and empower human rights organizations to censure Israel and stop the carnage. These measures succeeded where the terrorists’ rockets failed. Israel was compelled to back down.And the terrorists, though badly mauled, won. Admittedly, their bar for claiming victory was exceptionally low. While Israel must achieve a clear battlefield success to win, the terrorists merely had to survive. But they did more than survive. Under the protection of cease-fires and, in some cases, international peacekeepers, they vastly expanded their arsenals to include more lethal and longer-range missiles. While reestablishing their rule in the streets, they burrowed beneath them to create a warren of bombproof bunkers and assault tunnels. Such measures enabled Hamas, as well as Hezbollah, to mount devastating attacks at the time of their choosing, confident that the international community would once again prevent Israel from exacting too heavy a price.
So the cycle continued. Allowed to fight for several weeks, at most, Israel was eventually condemned and hamstrung by cease-fires. The terrorists, by contrast, could emerge from their hideouts and begin to replenish and enhance their stockpiles. That is precisely the pattern established in the second Lebanon War and repeated in Operations Cast Lead and Pillar of Defense in Gaza. Hezbollah and Hamas sustained losses but, rescued and immunized by international diplomacy, they remained in power and became more powerful still. Israel, on the other hand, was forced to defend its right to defend itself. Jihadist organizations no different from the Islamic State and al-Qaeda gained regional legitimacy, while Israel lost it in the world.The cycle can end, now and decisively. As Operation Protective Edge enters its third week , responsible world leaders can give Israel the time and the leverage it needs to alter Hamas’s calculus. They can let the Israeli army ferret Hamas out of its holes and make it pay a prohibitive cost for its attacks. They can create an outcome in which the organization, even if it remains in Gaza, is defanged and deprived of its heavy arms. Of course, Hamas will resist demilitarization, and more civilians will suffer, but by ending the cycle once and for all thousands of innocent lives will be saved.Life in Gaza is miserable now, but if Israel is permitted to prevail, circumstances can improve markedly. U.S.- and Canadian-trained security forces of the Palestinian Authority can take over key crossings and patrol Gaza’s porous border with Egypt. Rather than be funneled into Hamas’s war chest, international aid can be transferred directly to the civilian population to repair war damage and stimulate economic growth. Terrorist groups and their state patrons can be put on notice: The game has changed unalterably.And by letting Israel regain its security with regard to Gaza — with all the pain it entails — the United States and its allies will be safeguarding their own. Though bitter, the fighting between Israel and Hamas raging in Gaza’s alleyways is merely part of the far vaster struggle between rational nations and the al-Qaeda and Islamic State-like forces seeking their destruction. Relative to that global conflict, Operation Protective Edge may seem small, but it is nevertheless pivotal. To ensure that it concludes with a categorical Israeli win is in the world’s fundamental interest. To guarantee peace, this war must be given a chance.
