Abbas to Obama..Maintain Israeli Gaza Blockade

The world is so anxious to come out strongly against Israel, they don’t even listen to the so-called “good guys” amongst the palestinians (they are NOT really)…Abbas and his Fatah party. Even the leader of the “moderate” wing of the ruling parties of the Palestinian Authority are STRONGLY AGAINST Israel removing the sea blockade of Gaza. Even THEY realize that it is in NOBODY’S interest except the terrorists in Hamas to allow massive weapons shipments to arrive via the sea into the hands of the Hamas murderers. Even THEY realize that the only way to minimize this massive weapons aquisition from Iran and Co. is through Israel (and Egypt)’s sea blockade of Gaza.

“Peace” Activists and “Humanitarians”…please pay attention…Israel’s sea blockade of Gaza is a GOOD thing…It IS humanitarian, in that it prevents lethal weaponry from falling into the hands of murderous terrorists…It SUPPORTS the interests of peace, in that it supports the more moderate leaders of the palestinians while denying power to the more extreme…

Abbas to Obama: I’m against lifting the Gaza naval blockade

The Palestinian president reportedly told Obama that lifting the naval blockade of Gaza would bolster Hamas, a move that shouldn’t be done at this stage

Reprinted from Haaretz.com

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is opposed to lifting the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip because this would bolster Hamas, according to what he told United States President Barack Obama during their meeting at the White House Wednesday. Egypt also supports this position.

The issue of the Gaza flotilla and lifting the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip was the main topic of discussion between Obama and Abbas last Wednesday night.

European diplomats updated by the White House on the talks said that Abbas had stressed to Obama the need of opening the border crossings into the Gaza Strip and the easing of the siege, but only in ways that do not bolster Hamas.

One of the points that Abbas raised is that the naval blockade imposed by Israel on the Strip should not be lifted at this stage. The European diplomats said Egypt has made it clear to Israel, the U.S and the European Union that it is also opposes the lifting of the naval blockade because of the difficulty in inspecting the ships that would enter and leave the Gaza port.

Abbas told Obama that actions easing the blockage should be done with care and undertaken gradually so it will not be construed as a victory for Hamas. The Palestinian leader also stressed that the population in the Gaza Strip must be supported, and that pressure should be brought to bear on Israel to allow more goods, humanitarian assistance and building materials for reconstruction. Abbas, however, said this added aid can be done by opening land crossings and other steps that do not include the lifting of the naval blockade.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face…

Israel is probably the biggest employer of palestinian workers. They make MUCH more money when they work in Israel than if they work in their own towns and cities…that is, if they can find work at all anywhere but in Israel. Large numbers of terrorists that have killed and maimed Israelis were workers from the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas.

The world complains if Israel, because of the danger of terrorism, prevents the entry of palestinian workers. The Palestinian Authority complains that Israel is using palestinian workers to build Jewish homes.

So now they are going to ban the workers from working in certain parts of Israel.

I guess they figure they can plead poverty to the world and demand more international aid for their poor starving citizens. Your American/European tax dollars at work for you…Brilliant…

Palestinian Authority bans work in settlements

Palestinians must stop working in Jewish settlements by next year, a Palestinian cabinet minister said Tuesday, as part of a campaign to halt their expansion on occupied land Palestinians want for a state

Reprinted from Reuters.com

Economic Minister Hassan Abu Libdeh, disclosing further details of a new Palestinian law aimed at severing commercial ties with the settlements, said Palestinians violating the ban could face up to five years in jail and fines of up to $14,000.

“Those who are working in settlements are beefing up settlements, contributing heavily to the lifeline of settlements and therefore they deserve more punishment,” said Palestinian Economic Minister Hassan Abu Libdeh.

The penalties were not made public when President Mahmoud Abbas signed a law last month banning trade in goods made by Israelis living in some 100 settlements in the occupied West Bank and prohibiting Palestinian labor in them.

Since the Palestinians began the boycott campaign in January, the number of Palestinian workers in the enclave has dropped from 33,000 to 25,000, Abu Libdeh said.

Palestinians employed by settlements work in construction, agriculture and industry. Abu Libdeh said all must leave their jobs by 2010.

He said the Palestinian Authority would provide incentives to Palestinian firms to hire former settlement workers and that “encouraging responses” have already been received from various companies.

GOODS CONFISCATED

The Palestinian Authority hopes the campaign, which does not apply to goods made in Israel-proper — products vital to Palestinian consumers — will undermine settlement viability.

Since the start of the campaign, which Palestinians are encouraging European Union member states to join, some $200 million in settlement-produced goods have been confiscated in the West Bank, Abu Libdeh said.

The World Court has deemed illegal settlements Israel has built on land, including the West Bank, that it captured in a 1967 war.

Palestinian say the enclaves threaten creation of a viable state. Under U.S. pressure last November, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu imposed a 10-month freeze in housing starts in West Bank settlements, a move Abbas called insufficient.

About half a million settlers live in settlements in the West Bank and Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem alongside 2.5 million Palestinians. Another 1.5 million Palestinians live in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

Abu Libdeh said Israel’s criticism of the boycott drive was not justified as the Palestinian Authority was not violating existing interim peace agreements.

“We are not conducting any act of incitement against anybody. We are trying to make sure that we, the Palestinians, are not at all part of the lifeline of settlements,” he said.

Settlers, Abu Libdeh said, had to be made to understand it was no longer economically viable or profitable for them to continue to live in the West Bank.

Some settlers claim a Biblical right to the West Bank, while others have been attracted by economic and tax incentives offered by the Israeli government.
