View Full Version : Israeli regrets over clash fail to end Egypt protests
Thousands of Egyptians have rallied outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo for a second day over the deaths of five Egyptian policemen.
One demonstrator climbed the building, took down the Israeli flag and replaced it with an Egyptian flag.
Israel earlier expressed "regrets" over the incident on Thursday.
It happened on the Israeli-Egyptian border as Israeli troops pursued suspected militants who had fired shots into Israel, killing eight.
In response, Israel has carried out a series of air strikes on targets in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 15 people.
Palestinian militants have fired more than 20 rockets into Israel since Saturday night.
The Cairo-based Arab League is to hold a meeting on Sunday to discuss the crisis.
In the latest violence, a rocket killed one person and injured at least four in the Israeli city of Beersheba on Saturday.
Israeli sources identified it as a Grad rocket, adding that two children were slightly injured when Grads hit another town, Ofakim.

International concern is growing over a fresh wave of violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants.
Israel has carried out air strikes in the Gaza Strip, while militants have been firing rockets into Israel.
The trigger was a series of attacks in Israel on Thursday when eight civilians died. Five Egyptian policemen were killed as Israel pursued the gunmen.
The Quartet of Middle East peace mediators - the UN, US, EU and Russia - has called for restraint.

Errrrr...they have got the same military rule they have had for decades but with a different general, where is this democracy you are on about?

They killed Egyptian police inside Egypt and initially claimed they were terrorists and then claimed they had been killed by a suicide bomber and then said errrr...ooops sorry we will look into it.
Isreal must like any other nation show restraint in hastily trotting out lines as a matter of course that will probably turn out to be very wrong. A bit like britains recent episode of sillyness where "policemen returning fire after a trigger happy gun nut stated shooting them" turned out to complete bollox.

Face it already or you just will keep on finding excuses why things did not went according to your imagination.
there is NO sane major party in Egypt just a bunch of groups that vary in their extremism united under islamic or anti zionist flag.
There are democrats but just because they are so=it nullifies them.

The point is that it wasn't, which is why he should point out what he percieved as innacurate so it can be addressed.
If he objects to a statement and calls it based on imaginary events then he should have no difficulty specifying whaich parts were not true.....if he is interested in honest debate of course.
The problem being simply that he knows it is but it doesn't sit well for his arguement.
No, that's not fair.
No, that was very fair.

MH it's easily explained. Tribesman is not trolling just because he enjoys being an obnoxious twit. It appears to me it's simply one island of religious terrorists supporting another island of religious terrorists. It's all they know, it's what they grew up with and are taught as children by their governments and self apointed self rightoues religious leaders. They actually think they are doing something good by seeking your destruction.
Im sure it will all be in the name of freedom and democracy :rolleyes:

They have not only placed Palestinian flags alongside Republic of Ireland flags in countless Belfast neighborhoods, but in some of their famous building-sized murals they have also featured Gerry Adams with the likes of Yasser Arafat as well as Nelson Mandela

Abbas deserves no state
Op-ed: World should be greatly concerned by Palestinian leaders’ silence over terror offensive Avi Dichter Published: 08.19.11, 23:17
A moment before Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas approaches the UN with a statehood bid, we would expect the PA chairman to make a statement addressing the grave terror attack against Israeli citizens en route to Eilat. Something along the lines of “we shall hunt down the perpetrators and masterminds of the murderous attack and bring them to justice.” After all, in our region one pays no excise tax on words. Yet the silence of the chairman and of his Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, must worry the whole world – and that includes the UN General Assembly.
Israel Responds to AttacksPM vows additional retaliation / Attila SomfalviNetanyahu visits wounded soldiers in Soroka, tells them Gaza strikes were 'initial response'to attacks
How did the Abbas-Fayyad duo sell the notion of reconciliation with Hamas to the world? This pseudo-reconciliation is exploding in our faces. We are witnessing the de facto reality of a third terror state between us and Egypt, with the Palestinian Authority’s disregard constituting no less than evasion of responsibility. As Abbas views himself as the leader of a state, the world must demand explanations from him over Thursday’s terror offensive.
Egypt, which was the matchmaker and maid of honor in the Fatah-Hamas unity deal, is conspicuous in its failure to avert a despicable terror act launched from its territory against Israelis in Israeli territory. The arms smuggling to Gaza via the Sinai has turned since the Egypt revolution into orderly transfers of weapons and ammunition, including the anti-tank missile fired during Thursday’s offensive.
The Sinai Peninsula has turned into a crossing point for terror groups. Jihad leaders refer to the area as “Sinai tours,” yet these trips are used to transfer rockets fired at Israel from Gaza, exactly like the one fired at Ashkelon last night, forcing me and other 120,000 local residents to head into secure rooms.
Hezbollah spirit in south
The kind of terrorism we experienced in the south Thursday points mostly to the “Hezbollahization” of Gaza terror groups – with us being the main victims. A murderous terror attack perpetrated by more than 10 terrorists at several locations indicates that Hezbollah’s spirit headed south. Israel must receive operative answers from Egypt before the latter turns into a Lebanon-style state that cannot thwart anti-Israel terror organizations.
The Sinai has turned into a no man’s land while Egypt turns a blind eye. Hence, it must be called to order by Israel and the states of the world. We must not go easy on Egypt in respect to the responsibility it holds on this front. Cairo signed an agreement calling for a peaceful border with us and is obligated to fully adhere to its part of the bargain.
Last but not least is Hamas, which took over Gaza in a military coup four years ago, thereby turning itself into the address for Israel’s message following every attack. The “mailman” must work overtime after the murderous offensive in Eilat, resorting to surgical strikes and making the rules of play clear to Hamas.
It is vital that Hamas understand that the ruling power it violently stole from the PA includes obligations towards Israel. At some point, we’ll have to destroy the group’s military infrastructure in Gaza anyway, mostly because it appears that nobody else intends to do it. Once our Iron Dome arsenal grows, the planning and possible execution of a Gaza campaign would be much more practical. Until then, we must curb terror and eliminate the terrorists. The thought that it’s easier to harm us from the Sinai must be uprooted and neutralized, whether through the planned fence or via military operations.

He made a statement, that was challenged as wrong on several levels and he was unable to address any of it.

Yet you obviously are unable to.
Indeed I can safely say you are talking total bollox.
You could however prove me wrong, all you need is a single statement by me simply supporting terrorists or calling for the destruction of Israel.

Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group which governs the Gaza Strip, say they have agreed to a ceasefire after five days of violence.
The latest clashes began when militants crossed into southern Israel and killed eight Israelis on Thursday.
Subsequent Israeli air strikes on Gaza killed 15 Palestinians. One Israeli was killed in rocket fire from Gaza.
The Quartet of Middle East peace mediators - the UN, US, EU and Russia - has called for restraint.
Informal truce
A Palestinian official said that Hamas had agreed to ensure that the ceasefire was recognised by smaller militant groups in Gaza - which were responsible for most of the rockets fired at southern Israel in the past few days.
Prior to the announcement, Israeli media reported that 12 rockets launched from the Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel overnight. No injuries resulted.
But on Monday, Gaza's Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) - last to agree to the truce - agreed to halt rocket fire against Israel as a "temporary" measure "for the sake of the Palestinian people".
