Day 8 of Gaza campaign: Bush clears way for Israeli ground operation, updates Obama
DEBKAfile
Saturday, Jan 3, 2008
DEBKAfile’s Washington source report that in a telephone conversation with prime minister Ehud Olmert, US president George W. Bush okayed Israeli air, sea and ground operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. He promised the US would veto a resolution condemning Israel at the UN Security Council meeting next Monday. Early Saturday morning, Jan. 3, Day 8 of Israel’s Gaza operation, US and British media described the Israeli invasion as hours away.
In his weekly radio address – brought forward by a day, the US president spoke with exceptional firmness: “Another one-way ceasefire that leads to rocket attacks on Israel is not acceptable,” he said. “This recent outburst of violence was instigated by Hamas – a Palestinian terrorist group supported by Iran and Syria that calls for Israel’s destruction.”
He noted that “Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in a coup and routinely violated an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire…” and went on to define the exit point for Israel’s military operation:
“Promises from Hamas will not suffice,” he said. There must be “monitoring mechanisms in place to help ensure that smuggling of weapons to terrorist groups in Gaza comes to an end.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
This left Israel the option of sustaining its military activity against Hamas until such a mechanism was installed. He implicitly criticized Egypt for failing to control the smuggling of rockets and other munitions through its territory.
In his radio address, President Bush noted that president-elect Barack Obama is being kept up to date on the latest developments. With just over two weeks left in power, the Bush administration is preparing to hand over the problem to his successor.
DEBKAfile’s military sources list 9 pointers to an imminent Israeli incursion:
1. Israel’s three decision-makers, the prime minister, defense minister Ehud Barak and foreign minister Tzipi Livni, met Friday, Dec. 2, and resolved “to keep up the military pressure on Hamas” – a decision that gives the IDF a free hand.
2. Hamas’ conduct Friday: After 9 Grad Katyusha rockets were fired against Ashkelon, destroying two buildings and injuring five Israelis, the tempo slowed to 40 launchings the whole day – half the week’s daily average. The Palestinian terrorists were evidently reserving stocks for a grand climax when Israeli tank and armored infantry crossed into Gaza.
3. Hamas threats have mounted to a new pitch: Damascus-based Khaled Meshaal, who is in hiding, warned Israel (in a taped speech) of a “black fate” if it invades Gaza, including more kidnapped Israeli soldiers. Underlying his words was the threat of guerrilla action behind Israeli lines to snatch hostages.
4. Israeli air strikes against the empty homes of Hamas leaders continued early Saturday after 45 were destroyed Thursday and Friday. Their objective is to demoralize the Hamas command echelon and break its will to fight.
5. The Hamas military wing reported thwarting an Israeli special forces’ attempt to steal into the Sejaya refugee camp in Gaza City early Saturday. This is the third such claim in three days. The IDF spokesman denied knowledge of the incident.
6. DEBKAfile’s military sources report mass-desertions by teenagers who form the backbone of Hamas’ fighting rank and file. They are going home to their parents.
7. Early signs that former Palestinian security officers unaffiliated with Hamas are getting together to seize control of Gazan districts in which Hamas rule has collapsed.
Israeli warplanes dropped leaflets from Friday night advising people living in the northern and eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City to leave their homes. Defiance of this curfew directive carried the risk of being shot.
8. Cairo forwarded an urgent request to Hamas leaders in Damascus to make known their conditions for a ceasefire.
9. The arrival in Damascus of the chairman of Iran’s national security council and nuclear negotiator Said Jalili for urgent talks with Syrian president Bashar Assad and the leaders of Hamas and Jihad Islami.
Bush’s speech followed his conversations with Palestinian, Egyptian, Jordanian and Saudi leaders as well as Olmert. He said he was concerned by the humanitarian situation in Gaza and noted that “Hamas terrorists often hide within the civilian population which puts innocent Palestinians at risk.”

Why doesn’t Alex ever talk about Zionism. He is a fraud and actually probably works for Mossad. Ever notice how mad Alex gets when Zionism is brought up. I smell a fraud. The Zionist have their hands in everything but yet Alex is always deflecting to other issues.
Alex you are a misinformation agent. It only take Alex fans a few years to see it.

911misinglinks.com the 911 film even alex wont talk about.

let us not forget,
the land was palestinian, before israel was ‘created’ after ww2
would america allow a foreign ppl to ‘create’ a country in new your city?
NO
you would fight back.
well, that is what hamas is doing trying to regain what is/was there land.
let us not forget who stole from whom.
besides it is just land so who really should spill blood over land. when we all die, the land will revert back to a natural state.

January 3rd, 2009 at 8:14 am
This has to to with ethnicity and religion! Both are commonly used for divide and conquer! I bet that if both sides were Jewish non of this would be happening! PEACE

THE JEWS OF ISRAEL, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, STATED THEY WOULD HOLOCAUST THE NON-JEWS OF GAZA EARLIER IN 2008. Did you all read that carefully? The jews of Israel, at the highest level, stated they would ***HOLOCAUST*** (yes, they used this particular word) the non-jews of Israel. Even Adolf Hitler is never pinned down to using such language.
When the jews of Israel, at the highest level, stated they would holocaust non-jews, were there any objections from any major jewish body in any Western nation. THE ANSWER IS ***NO***. Every major jewish body, representing the vast majority of jews in those nations, stood firmly behind Israel’s stated intention to HOLOCAUST Gaza.
What about the political leaders of the Western nations. Well, again, every single one stated they stood fully behind Israel’s stated intent to HOLOCAUST (remember, that is the word that was used) Gaza.
What about the jewish controlled mass media (99% of all newspapers and radio and TV stations found in the nations of the West). Well most of these outlets reported the Israel statement with some reluctance (as you may expect) but not one of them made a point of objecting to the plan to HOLOCAUST non-jews in Gaza.
EARLIER IN 2008, ISRAEL PROMISED TO ***HOLOCAUST*** NON-JEWS IN GAZA, AND TODAY THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING. They are doing this with the support of the jewish leaders of 90%+ of all jews worldwide. To use the word ‘zionism’ at this stage to hide the truth of what is happening would be a crime against Humanity. Hitler had far less support of the German people at the height of his power than Israel has of the so-called jewish people across the planet.

Israel should not have ever exchanged land for peace. The Hamas have no moral compass and they are incapable of entering a peace accord in good faith. I say let Israel take back the Gaza Strip permanently.
January 3rd, 2009 at 11:22 am
Two presidents in America are better than one. It appears Obama and Bush together have finally decided to allow Israel to clear away the islamic fascist group Hamas from our borders. You know my two sisters in Miami voted for this young man, and he is demonstrating that he has the right stuff to protect God’s chosen people. Bravo Obama.

gods children your sick in the head ,liers sons and daughters of the the devil more like.god did not promise you any fucking land you just lied to get it and you are draging innocent people down to your level.israel was made with lies taken land which was not yours as long as israel exists and the people behind it, no peace will exist in the middle east and their will be no peace in the world until the the jews and muslims are extinct

IMO the incursion/slaughter is a message to the Muslim world that the NWO owned USrael will use brutal force to control areas of the region. The NWO probably believes it’s the only thing that the Arabs understand. So far it seems to be working.
In the meantime no one seems to be taking the bait to drag other countries into bigger conflict.

“Psssst……hey Barry, The only thing you need to remember is to keep the focus off the banks. They’ll do their part, just make sure you do yours. The press will do the rest.”

May God forgive you Kent. I will pray for you to obtain the true knowledge God wants for you. Israel will be free from terrorism at last. Praise God.
January 3rd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Hey abe tobleman, jewboy. Where will the jews run to this time? Blacks know jews ran the slave trade, whites know about the banking swindles. Nobody wants you.

The problem for the Zionists is that people are finally learning that the 1948 “Israel” is not the Israel of the Bible. GOD has no love of people who reject His Son and then arrogantly claim spiritual superiority over the rest of the world. Any pastor/preacher/clergy that claims 1948 “Israel” has any spiritual superiority is a lying whore in the first degree, and that includes John Hagee. The only superiority it has is in bribes to politicians and clergy.
Zionists and their whores like Bush are the true scum of the world until they realize their own folly, and learn to live in peace. I don’t believe anyone hates them just for being Zionists, Jews or even “Jews who are not Jews”; they hate them as anyone else for legitimate reasons like murder, false flag operations, starving & radiating children, blocking medical supplies and food, organized crimes, harboring criminal fugitives, teaching arrogant crap like the Talmud, and generally treating other people like cattle. They corrupt everything Jesus taught.
Remember that King David committed adultery with his friend’s wife, Bathsheba, and sent him back out to battle to be murdered so he wouldn’t find out she was pregnant. That should be enough to humble most of us instead of claiming any spiritual superiority.
January 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Zionist israel is the WORLDS evil. May they all rot in Hell.
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Bush has set the stage for Obama to be (false flag) tested. Next stop is Iran. I’d bet money on it.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
If America isn’t scared yet, it’s going to be, soon! Anti-Gun Legislation is to stop any chance American civilians can protest this Monopoly Over taking us Monetarily, and militarily. The European Banks have stolen over 8 Trillion Dollars from each and everyone of us. People are not paying attention a home They still think this Government is being open in protection them. That’s Ignorance at work. People are Just Plain IGNORANT. They allow these Banking Manipulations and don’t open there eyes to whats happening to us all in front of there eyes. Thy think, any talk that 9/11 was a conspiracy By our own Government have been Brainwashed in believing every word about 9/11. People are afraid to even speak up against this Nazi Facist’s Military of Ours. Those people are giving high paychecks to work as a Military Officer in our Armed forces. So why wouldn’t they honor where there dollars are coming. They too are so afraid to speak up. Afraid to loose there incomes. Well, i know i feel better about myself, knowing i can’t be paid off to do something totally against what i really do believe in. They don’t even own there own free wills! Think about it. Im sticking up for what My Dad and others who fought in WW II for one thing Freedom and right to Bear arms and Honor God, if that’s who we want to call him. That Generation stood up for what they stood for. They would have died for that right. Today, there kids are being bought off for an American Dollar that doesn’t have much value anyways anymore! Or else there’d be more protesting in the streets. Demanding the president do What the People want as a whole. They have forgotten its For the people By the People as the REPUBLIC of this country. It’s almost to the point of a Dictatorship, But people don’t act like they care. Like it’s too much trouble”, to stand up for it. That’s this Government controlling your mind not to talk against and stand up against what there basically doing. Stealing from each and everyone of us. When you don’t have what you use to have once, you might start paying attention. But will it be too late then? that’s the question we all need to ask. Don’t allow this country to loose what it stands for. Pride for country and GOD. Time to lock up those politicians who have abused each and everyone of us for Greed of Money and control or DICTATORSHIP! Thats JUST what it is. Wake up,because it sure won’t be worth standing up fighting for it, while you have nothing left to fight with. Syand up for what your fathers and Grandfathers fought for everything you have. Don’t allow them to tae it away from you while you THINK its for your own good. It isn’t. Things are all messed up.Look at the Stock market, and start asking questions. Number 1 question should be, Where did those 6-8 Trillion Dollars go to? That belongs to each and everyone Of us! So start asking. Why Not? Your Paying this off One way or the other! Let them know you still have an Intelligence your Parents Inherited to you . Take Pride again in yourself to ask questions. put them on the spot. DEMAND an answer. It will show there Hiding many things. Keep asking questions. Our News Company’s don’t! They been manipulated by Money or “Interest is another word for being controlled by corporate America For a Lousy cheap Dollar! They can’t even pay you an honest wage, then they want what they paid you in Taxes. That’s what it is all about! Making you depend on them. Tell Them to Kiss your arse! I know your all smarter and stand for something!

CARTER FAMILY : ” WHERE SHALL I BE ”
Judgment day is drawing nigh
Where shall I be
When God the work of men shall cry
Where shall I be
When east and west the fire will roll
Where shall I be
How will it be with my poor soul
Where shall I be
Oh where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds
Oh where shall I be when it sounds so loud
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead
Oh where shall I be when it sounds
When wicked men its wrath shall see
Where shall I be
And to the rocks and mountains flee
Where shall I be
And hills and mountains wear away
Where shall I be
And all the work of men decay
Where shall I be
When the savior reigns from shore to shore
When God’s angry presence roars
Oh I’ll be sleeping in my grave when the first trumpet sounds
Oh I’ll be sleeping in my grave when it sounds so loud
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead
Oh I’ll be sleeping in my grave when it sounds
