Israel continues to take the center stage in world politics, religion and news headlines. Yet again Israel has made it to the headlines, as two Israeli air raids led to the death of two Palestinians as was stated by the Associated Press News Agency.
But the Israeli Spokesperson has a different story to say as according to them they air raids were targeted at two smuggling tunnels that are located on the Rafah border that is flanked by Egypt. The target also included a weapons storage facility that they suspected was located on the northern Gaza border.
He also added that the raids were in retaliation to mortar shells that came from Gaza and were aimed at the Israeli civilians. But even as blood stained Gaza is trying to come to terms with the loss of life due to Israeli air raids, the Israeli foreign minister is making plans to invite delegation of European ministers to the Gaza Strip.
Franco Frattini has given a response stating that he would accept the invitation after discussions with his European and international partners. It is undeniable that the place and it’s people are characterized by a strategic, turbulent and tragic history.
Hams Shalit an Israeli soldier being held in Gaza strip is demanding the release of 1000 Palestinian prisoners from Shalit and Israel has declined the offer.

Israel is known to be a big liar since its formation. It has routinely told lies to the world with a straight face and wants to cover up its henious and ghastly crimes under the guise of flimsy excuses.
Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has seized territories of other nations by force & continues to occupy. It routinely violates international borders of sovereign state with warplanes & artillery. It has for years sent assassins to kill its political enemies. A high-ranking UN diplomat was assassinated & the man who ordered it became the prime minister. It deliberately targeted a UN Refugee Camp in Qana, Lebanon,& killed 103 innocent men,women,children & demolished more than 4,000 homes of innocent Palestinians as a means of ethnic cleansing. It dropped a WMD a one-ton smart bomb, in the centre of a highly-populated area killing 15 civilians,including nine children.It routinely kills young Palestinian kids for throwing stones at armoured vehicles & tanks.Its high-ranking officers have publicly admitted that unarmed prisoners of war were executed.It has created 762,000 refugees & refuses to allow them to return to their homes, farms & businesses.It is in defiance of 69 UN Security Council resolutions & has been protected from 29 more by US vetoes. It signed the Oslo Accords promising to halt the construction of any new Jewish Settlements, but instead has built more than 270 new ones since the signing.It regularly violates the Geneva Convention by imposing collective punishment on entire towns, villages & camps, & even goes as far as demolishing entire villages with people still in their homes.
Gazans are subjected to atrocities, brutality & tortures on a daily basis, They have been confimed, blockaded ,denied ,tortured & mercilessly killed every day. Gaza is a modern day Auschwitz camp of WW2, with untold suffering & miseries unleashed by Israeli regime, there is no electricity as Israel has bombed the power plants, no basic amenities like clean water, sewage or essential commodities like floor,sugar,milk, life saving medicines & drugs are also targeted.
Hospitals & orphan homes, schools have not been spared of their brutality. Pregnant women have to go through a difficult terrain snaking through various illegal settlements to reach hospitals. Women are undergoing forced deliveries ahead of times to avoid the ordeal. Sick people have to go through hell called Israel military to reach hospitals. Schools have been either bombed or closed for want of basic needs. US/Israel forced Egypt also to close the crossings in rafah border. The tunnels used to smuggle in food & medicine have been bombed. Houses are demolished & occupants are forced out just on basis of suspicion. What more can one face. Gaza is a maximum security(read brutality) prison with no rules.
US turns a blind to all this atrocities, so when neutral countries want to help these unfortunate people, Israel unleashes its fury at them.
So support the cause of the oppressed people of Gaza as keeping silent on the acts of OPPRESSOR is like being the oppressor.
Yet The WORLD turns a blind to all these atrocities.
