"No assurances on easing roadblocks; Palestinian leader sought measure" by Karin Laub/Associated Press December 14, 2007
RAMALLAH, West Bank - The Palestinian prime minister said he had failed to win assurances from Israel's defense minister yesterday that stifling restrictions on Palestinian movement would be eased - a step seen as key to the success of an ambitious international effort to revive the Palestinian economy.
The World Bank warned that unless Israel removed some of the physical and administrative obstacles to Palestinian travel and trade, donor countries asked to pledge $5.6 billion at a conference in Paris next week might be wasting their money.
Even if the donors provided the full amount, the Palestinian economy would keep shrinking about 2 percent a year as long as the Israeli restrictions remained in place, the World Bank wrote in a report yesterday.
Israel's military has been reluctant to remove some of the hundreds of roadblocks and barriers in the West Bank, saying that they are an effective tool against Palestinian extremists and that the Palestinian government does not have sufficient control over the territory to prevent attacks on Israelis.
The issue of roadblocks was raised yesterday in a meeting attended by international Mideast envoy Tony Blair, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Asked whether he had received any Israeli guarantees of easing restrictions, Fayyad said: "It's a one-word answer - no."
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said his country supported the donors' efforts and had an interest in seeing the Palestinian economy recover. Israel is willing to move on the issue of roadblocks, he said, but he gave no specifics.
I'm sick of the FOOLEYS, readers! And the NaZionist lies!
In violence yesterday, a rocket fired by Gaza extremists hit a house in the Israeli border town of Sderot and seriously injured an Israeli woman. The rocket smashed through the roof. Israeli TV showed medics carrying a woman out of the house on a stretcher.
Yup, Palestinians murdered by Israel everyday and they are lucky if they get a sentence!
But if a Jew even gets hurt, then watch the AmeriKan War Dailies give it a paragraph!
This is GETTING OLD, readers!
Israel has indicated it will launch a large-scale ground attack in Gaza.
No need to focus on THAT, either, 'eh, shit MSM?!
The incoming U.N. Mideast envoy, Robert Serry, denounced the rocket attacks in unusually strong terms. "Let me be clear about this," he said. "We consider that to be terrorist acts."
Not like they are coming to the "talks" as an even-handed arbiter, are they?
Pfffffftttttt!!!!
A few hours later, Israeli aircraft blew up a car in Gaza City, killing three extremists, Palestinians said. Israel said the target was a Palestinian cell that had fired rockets at Israel earlier.
"News"paper just made my point for me!
Where is my paragraph on the dead Palestinians, Jew press?!
Ahead of Monday's donor conference, Israel was coming under heavy pressure to show flexibility on the restrictions issue."
Israel was coming under pressure? Haw-haw-haw-haw!!!
Where?
What lying shit rags AmeriKa's papers have become!
"Abbas’s Premier Tells Israel to Reopen Gaza"
"RAMALLAH, West Bank — The moderate Palestinian Authority government based in the West Bank, in a departure from past policy, on Thursday publicly called on Israel to lift economic restrictions on the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Islamic group Hamas.
Now Hamas is always Islamist and Fatah is always moderate in the lying Jew York fucking Times!
God how I hate that shit paper!
Israel sealed its border crossings with Gaza. Israel contends that its approach is working.
“Hamas’s popularity is suffering, because it cannot deliver,” Mark Regev, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, said Thursday. A combination of military pressure, diplomatic isolation and economic leverage “is leading to an erosion of their strength,” Mr. Regev said.
Yup, the WAR CRIME of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT is JUST FINE in the eyes of the world -- and ENTHUSIASTICALLY EMBRACED by Israel!
The Palestinian Authority, based in Ramallah, in the West Bank, says the restrictions have led to a collapse of Gaza’s private sector, which provides more than half the jobs there. But it had largely maintained a public silence on the closure, and privately had supported it, leading Hamas to accuse it of collusion.
Hamas is right, and that is why Fatah is no better than the NaZionist killers they work for.
The authority also wants to re-establish a foothold in Gaza, by offering to take over the crossings.
“It is our responsibility as the legitimate authority of all the Palestinians,” said Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister, rejecting any suggestion that such a move would require prior coordination with Hamas.
The LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY is HAMAS, shitter!
THEY WON the ELECTIONS, asshole!!!!!!!
Ala al-Araj, an economic adviser to Ismail Haniya, the Hamas chief in Gaza, said that Hamas had been “willing since July for the United Nations or a private company to take control of the crossings.” But “Israel and the Ramallah government don’t accept that,” he said Thursday.
He added that Hamas would “not reject any party that is acceptable to Israel,” as long as it was “transparent and credible” — a veiled reference to widespread charges of corruption when Fatah was in control.
Israel is unlikely to agree to an immediate policy reversal, but Mr. Regev did not rule out change later. “If a new reality emerged on the other side of the crossings,” he said, that could lead to a new reality on the Israeli side.
Israel has already responded to some of Mr. Fayyad’s requests to ease up on the Gaza population. Last week, Palestinian farmers began exporting their strawberry and flower crops via Israel to Europe, after an agreement between the Israeli Agriculture and Defense Ministries and Mr. Fayyad. They were the first exports from Gaza since June.
Also, in the past two weeks, Israel has allowed busloads of Palestinians to leave Gaza for Egypt, via Israel. They included students who study abroad and people who need medical treatment, Col. Nir Press, the leader of Israel’s Coordination and Liaison Administration at the Gaza crossings, said Monday. Many had been stuck in Gaza since June.
Awwww, the nice Israelis!!!
Considering the information I get off the blogs and web concerning Israel, this NYT report is CRAP, readers!!!
What DISGUSTING ZIONIST SHIT SPEW that comes from the New York Times!!!
What a SHIT PAPER!!!!!!!
The recent escalation in violence continued Thursday. A rocket fired from Gaza hit a house in Sderot, an Israeli border town, wounding a woman inside. Soon after, three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, said medical officials there. One was identified as a member of Islamic Jihad.
Israeli Army officials said the strike was aimed at a cell that had fired rockets at Israel."
Oh, that's right, Times!
Save the ISRAELI MURDER for the LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS!!!
That's why I'm getting the fuck out of here today!
Tired of WASTING TIME with the SHIT ZIONIST WAR DAILIES!!
Your MSM SUCKS, AmeriKa!!!!!!!
