'GAZA' Is Bleeding : Humanity Is Sleeping : Dr.M.K.Sherwani

The dead conscience of the West, the useless
existence of the United Nations,the total absence of
humanitarianism from the humanity, and overall the
indisputable impotency of the entire Muslim bloc have
once again been finally affirmed with the current
Israeli brutalities in Gaza, claiming mammoth
destructions and lives of innocent civilians including
small children.

The Secretary General of the 'greatest
contemporary international fraud', known as the United
Nations has accused Israel of using "excessive
force", while the European Union president Slovenia
condemned Israel's attacks as disproportionate and
violating international law,but in a severe reprimand
to these condemnations, the Israeli Prime Minister
Olmert declared that " no one has the right to preach
morality to Israel." (details below)
The world leaders who are leaving no stone
unturned in projecting 'Muslims'as synonymous with
'terrorists' , and Muslim clerics who immediately
accept the accusations and rush forward to clarify
that 'Islam is against terrorism'can have no better
place to define 'terrorism' and 'terrorist actions'
than from the midst of the heaps of torn bodies of the
palestinians in Gaza as a result of Israel's ruthless
assault on civilians. The castles of Europe,the
magnificent 'White House' and the Seminary of
Deoband(India) cannot have the required ambience and
environment to articulate these terms and their
definitions in the most practical way.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas suspended peace
negotiations with Israel on Sunday, demanding it end a
Gaza offensive that has killed more than 100
Palestinians, many of them civilians.

Israel said it was acting in self-defence in the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip to curb constant
cross-border rocket attacks by militants and
threatened to intensify its ground and air campaign
despite allegations it was using excessive force.
Abbas had ordered "the suspension of negotiations ...
until (Israeli) aggression is stopped," a senior aide
to the
Palestinian leader said in the West Bank city of
Ramallah.

But he stopped short of declaring dead the US-brokered
statehood talks opposed by Hamas Islamists who seized
control of the Gaza Strip from his Fatah movement in
June.

Arye Mekel, spokesman for Israel's chief negotiator,
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, said Abbas's decision
was a mistake and expressed hope the talks would
resume "in the very near future".

A 21-month-old Palestinian girl, two other civilians
and three militants were killed in the latest fighting
in the Gaza Strip, raising the Palestinian death toll
in five days of bloodshed to more than 100, medical
officials said.

Anti-Israeli demonstrations erupted in the occupied
West Bank, where Israeli forces confronting
stone-throwers near the town of Hebron shot dead a
14-year-old boy wearing a Hamas headband, witnesses
said.

Nine rockets slammed into southern Israel, wounding
four people, Israeli ambulance workers said. "Israel
has no intention of stopping the fight against the
terrorist organisations even for a minute," Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert told his cabinet, facing the new
challenge of long-range rockets hitting the major
southern Israeli city of Ashkelon.

"EXCESSIVE FORCE"

Earlier, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accused
Israel of using "excessive force". He demanded a halt
to air and ground attacks that killed 61 people on
Saturday, the bloodiest day for Palestinians since the
1980s, and militants' rocket salvoes.

European Union president Slovenia condemned Israel's
attacks as disproportionate and violating
international law. The presidency statement also
called for an immediate halt to the rocket fire.

"With all due respect ... no one has the right to
preach morality to Israel for employing its elementary
right of self-defence, " Olmert said. Abbas designated
Sunday a day of mourning.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is due to meet
Abbas and Olmert this week. Washington has said it
hoped Israeli-Palestinian talks can lead to a
statehood deal before President George W Bush leaves
office in January.

One Israeli has been killed by a rocket launched from
Gaza since the current surge in bloodshed began. Hamas
has said such salvoes would stop if Israel abandoned
operations in the Gaza Strip and raids against
militants in the occupied West Bank.

"We are acting to hit the Hamas infrastructure ... the
final target is to bring an end to the firing of
Qassams," Defence Minister Ehud Barak said about the
crude rockets.

"This will not be achieved in the next two days, but
we will continue the activity with all our strength.
And we need to prepare for escalation, because the big
ground operation is real and tangible," Barak said.

Meeting in emergency session, the UN Security Council
said it was deeply concerned about civilian deaths in
southern Israel and the Gaza Strip and urged a
cessation of violence.

"We are capable of sustaining the fight and tolerating
(attacks) beyond the expectations of the enemy," said
Abu Ubaida, spokesman of Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam
Brigades.

Olmert has been under pressure from some of his
cabinet members to launch a broader offensive in the
Gaza Strip, especially after militants began firing
longer-range Katyusha rockets at Ashkelon, a city of
120,000 people.

But Israeli officials have spoken publicly of the
heavy loss of life such a campaign could cause on both
sides. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in fighting
with Gaza militants on Saturday.

Across the Gaza Strip, families erected traditional
mourning tents for the dead. In southern Israel,
people went about their everyday lives, poised to rush
for shelter at the sound of alarms that activate about
15 seconds before a rocket hits.

The offensive has taken Israeli troops deeper into the
Gaza Strip and in larger numbers than at any time
since Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the
territory in 2005, 38 years after its capture.
