After meeting Condi, Israeli officials start planning for a forced mass evacuation of Palestinians from northern Gaza: Israeli TV
A journalist monitoring Israeli television from Nazareth in the West Bank reports:
Channel Two of Israeli Television disclosed yesterday, Wednesday, that the Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has gotten the green light from the Security and Political Council of Ministers, which met yesterday to decide how to end the problem of the Qassam rockets, to initiate implementation of the new plan aimed an ending the problem of the Palestinian Qassam rockets aimed at southern Israel.The televised report cited high-level security sources as saying Barak intends to plan for the removal of tens of thousands of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip, namely from the region that the resistance uses for the launch of these rockets, and to move them toward Gaza City and to confine them there. The Israeli reporter added that Barak is turning to legal advisers in the Defence Ministry, in order to obtain legal authorization for the removal of the Palestinian civilians. Barak is also asking Professor David Friedmann, minister of Israeli Affairs [Justice Minister], who supports toughening of penalties on Gaza to end the launching of rockets, in order to obtain his authorization to begin execution of the plan.
The reporter said that once [or if] the plan becomes operational, it would start immediately: In the first stage there would be a drop of leaflets advising residents to leave their homes, in addition to special radio announcements in Arabic directed to the residents, and in the event residents didn't obey the warnings, the occupation army would begin bombing the inhabited areas, in order to compel them to leave their homes and go to Gaza City.
The Council [of Ministers], which met yesterday after the departure of the American Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, stressed that they did not agree with previous army planning for [only] a partial end to the Qassam rockets. And the Council decided to target the leaders of Hamas, political and military alike, and to desroy every symbol of Hamas authority in the Gaza Strip.

The Cost of Freedom
Ethnic cleansing is taking place for a long time ago in DARFUR by the muslim regime of SUDAN.
so far 250 thousands civilians brutally killed by muslim murderes.
I dont see the same anger you show with the palestinian issue. Why?, is because the mass killers in Darfur are not jews?.
Hypocrites

I love the way you use the conflict in Darfur to further your own particular agenda. However, your over simplification of the situation there works against you. I quote Emily Wax, Washington Post East African Bureau chief, who has written critically of the Sudan government's role in the Darfur tragedy, write a column: 5 Truths About Darfur, April 23, 2006, Washington Post:
Paul Moorcraft of The Guardian shared Emily Wax's assessment when he wrote
"Why the West Shouldn't Send Troops to Darfur" in The Guardian, April 7, 2006,
The situation in Palestine is entirely different. The Khazar interlopers, with the benefit of vastly superior firepower, an unlimited supply of US cash and a sociopathic, supremacist mentality, have been systematically ethnically-cleansing the indigenous populations of Muslim and Christian Arabs who for all intents and purposes have been relatively powerless to resist.
