Israel's Gaza Coup

Well, seeing as Israel has already confirmed they are going to occupy Gaza....

"Israeli Troops Advance, Bisecting Gaza" by TAGHREED EL-KHODARY and ISABEL KERSHNER

GAZA — Israeli troops advanced into Gaza on Sunday under cover of heavy air, tank and artillery fire.... Witnesses said the Israeli forces had punched across Gaza, bisecting its northern and southern parts, and had taken over certain strategic areas....

In a telephone briefing for a group of foreign correspondents, a senior Israeli military official said that Israeli troops would hold the areas they have taken inside Gaza at least for the duration of the operation to prevent militants from returning to fire rockets from there.

“We don’t plan to retake the Gaza Strip but there are several places we control now and will control later,” he said. “If it will be needed, we are prepared to stay there.”

.... this NYT analysis is truly revealed for the crock of s*** it is!

"Israel's long-term goal unclear; Some see attempt to remove Hamas" by Ethan Bronner, New York Times | January 4, 2009

EREZ CROSSING, on the Israel-Gaza border - As Israel's tanks and troops poured into Gaza yesterday, the next phase in its fierce attempt to end rocket attacks, a question hung over the operation: Can the rockets really be stopped for any length of time while Hamas remains in power in Gaza?

And if the answer is determined to be no, then is the real aim of the operation to remove Hamas entirely, no matter the cost? After her visit to Paris Thursday to explain to French authorities why she thought this was not the time for a quick cease-fire, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni of Israel said, "There is no doubt that as long as Hamas controls Gaza, it is a problem for Israel, a problem for the Palestinians, and a problem for the entire region."

Really? HOW? Because YOU are a bunch of lying, land-stealing, mass-murdering, genocidal ZioNazis, Tzip?

Well, you can see where all this is going even with all the governmental lies.

Vice Premier Haim Ramon went further Friday night in an interview on Israeli television, saying Israel must not end this operation with Hamas in charge of Gaza.

Yeah, that is normally called a COUP when an ENEMY DOES SUCH a THING!

Of course, REINVADING and REOCCUPYING will do the job -- until the Israelis kill every Palestinian in the territory and seize the land.

"What I think we need to do is to reach a situation in which we do not allow Hamas to govern," Ramon said on Channel One. "That is the most important thing."

Yeah, even though THEY WON DEMOCRATIC and FAIR ELECTION!

**************

There is a growing and shared concern among Israeli leaders that any letup against Hamas would be problematic for Israel's broad goals in the long term because it could bolster and validate the group, which says Israel should be destroyed.

Ooooooohhhhh!!

Okay!!

Yup, it is O.K. for a GOD-DAMNED NaZionist shitter to call for a HOLOCAUST of the PALESTINIAN PEOPLE!!

Yup, that doen't garner NEAR the ATTENTION that a
MISTRANSLATED COMMENT would!!

In addition, any truce would probably include an increase in commercial traffic from Israel and Egypt into Gaza, which is Hamas's central demand: to end the economic boycott and border closing it has been facing. To build up the Gaza economy under Hamas, Israeli leaders say, would be to build up Hamas. But withholding the commerce would continue to leave 1.5 million Gazans in despair.

Like Israel actually gives a shit?

Oh, yeah, I forgot -- this is a JEW YORK TIMES analysis!

Israel Writes The New York Times News Pages

The New York Times: Israel's Mouthpiece

Almost no one familiar with Gaza and Palestinian politics considers it realistic to remove Hamas from power. Hamas legislators won a democratic majority in elections four years ago, and the group has 15,000 to 20,000 men under arms.

Look, if the Jew York Times KNOW THIS, then WHY the SHIT JOURNALISM about Hamas "seizing power?"

If ANYONE is SEIZING anything it is ISRAEL SEIZING PALESTINIAN LAND!

It has consolidated its rule in the past 18 months since pushing out rivals loyal to the more moderate Fatah party of the West Bank. And while there are plenty of Gazans who would prefer Fatah, they do not seem organized or strong enough to become the new rulers, even with the help of former colleagues in exile in Ramallah who say that they would never be willing to ride into Gaza on the back of an Israeli tank.

No, they would just like to WORK FOR THEM as agents in the Palestinian territories. I mean, I'm not even going to get into it -- the WHOLE WORLD KNOWS that the PA and Fatah are USraeli tools!! That is HOW HAMAS WON the ELECTIONS!

The longer Israel pounds Gaza, the weaker Fatah is likely to become because it will be seen as collaborating.

Oh, I LOVE IT when Israeli policy backfires!!

Of course, this is NO BACKFIRE!

Israel intends to EXTERMINATE the PALESTINIANS so this actually works in THEIR FAVOR, right?

They DESTROY HAMAS PHYSICALLY, and WEAKEN the "opposition."

Nice move, Iz-ray-HELL! Your operation ALREADY a FAILURE!!!!

The likelier result of a destruction of the Hamas infrastructure would be chaos, anathema not only to the people of Gaza but also to those hoping for peace in southern Israel.

Who gives a flying fuck about Israelis in southern Israel? I sure as hell don't anymore! The Jew York Times is something else, aren't they?

There has been broad international criticism of this war on Gaza, not only because of the suffering seen on television screens but because of a feeling that Israel has tried such tactics in the past and never succeeded.

Sigh. Yeah, we are protesting because this Israeli policy hasn't "worked" yet! Yeah, we are all rooting for Iz-ray-HELL to "succeed."

Good Christ, the AmeriKan MSM is horrendous! It's JEWISH SUPREMACISM that is conveyed in their papers, nothing more!!! It sure as hell ain't "news" or "reporting."

Many point to the 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, in which Israel also tried to destroy rocket launchers and a hostile organization's infrastructure, only to end up killing many civilians and leaving Hezbollah more popular and perhaps stronger.

You have NO IDEA how happy I am that ISRAEL GOT ITS ASS KICKED!!

Of course, that is why they are PICKING on GAZA (about 2 minutes in) -- just like a GOOD BULLY WOULD!

"It’s like some 6’6” serial rapist claiming that the 80 pound 13 year old girl he was doing made him do it"

That's a GREAT ANALOGY for what is happening in Gaza right now!

But military planners here say the parallel is inexact and that they have learned a lesson. Gaza is smaller and flatter than southern Lebanon, and it does not have a sievelike border with a country like Syria where arms can be continuously resupplied.

Destroying smuggler tunnels from the Egyptian Sinai into Gaza and systematically taking out weapons depots and launcher sites, along with their supporting infrastructures, will ultimately succeed, they contend.

It might take weeks or months, they assert, but it can work. If true, the questions still remain: At what human cost? And who will be in charge when it is over?

Like the fucking Zionist media cares about that!

Oh, they must be thinking only of Jews, right?
