Wednesday:
Six-month-old baby
The following is and account of how the Israeli Genocide, exterminated a six month old baby.This article was originally published by Ramattan News Agency and is republished with the author's permission.
The innocent laughter of six-month-old baby Mohammed al-Bor'i stopped forever on Wednesday night when shrapnel from an Israeli missile and rubble struck the infant in the head, minutes after he enjoyed his last meal.
"The baby sucked milk, he was playing with his mother; I was reading a book when a rocket hit the Ministry of Interior," said Nasser al-Bor'i, the baby's father.
With the first missile, the electricity was cut and darkness filled the ill-fated house. Stones and pieces of the asbestos ceiling fell onto the head of the laughing child. The explosions continued as two other missiles hit the building.
"I looked for my baby in the darkness between the rubble; I did not know where he was. When he cried once I followed the direction of his voice," Nasser al-Bor'i said. "My hands touched my baby who was breathing hard; I felt warm liquid on my two hands and realized that he was wounded."
Al-Bor'i carried his son to the nearby Shifa Hospital as the blood streamed from his tiny head. In the hospital, al-Bor'i became hysterical when he realized that his only child had been killed.
Tears poured from al-Bor'i's eyes when he saw Mohammed's shoes. "After five years of treatment for sterility, [my wife and] I had a baby. I can't imagine that I lost him in a second."
Toys, a plastic bike, a crib and clothes were covered by the heap of rubble inside Mohammed's bedroom. Cutout magazine pictures of laughing babies decorated the walls, a sad reminder of the joy lost in the strike.
Mohammed's mother sufered shock and fell unconscious when she realized that the child had died. She laid on a hospital bed while her baby was in the morgue. On Thursday morning she cried when she returned home from the hospital to see Mohammed's empty crib.
Mohammed al-Bor'i was not the only child to be killed in the series of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza strip on Wednesday. In the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabalia, three other children, Anas al-Manama, 10, Bilal Hijazi, 11, and Mohammed Hamada, 11, were also killed in an Israeli air strike, Palestinian medical sources reported.
At least 19 Palestinian civilians and militants were killed and dozens wounded by the continuing Israeli air strikes on Gaza in the last two days.

MI6 'were not holding Diana files'....Really ?
MI6 'were not holding Diana files'....Really ? Then who reported to the Windsor "Way ahead Group " reported in the Mirror ?

QUEEN 'TO STRIP HARRODS OF ITS ROYAL CREST'
Sunday Mirror, Aug 31, 1997 Andrew Golden
The Royal Family may withdraw their seal of approval from Harrods ... as a result of Diana's affair with owner's son Dodi Fayed. The top people's store - with its long and proud tradition of royal patronage - may be about to lose the Prince of Wales royal crest. Senior Palace courtiers are ready to advise the Queen that she should refuse to renew the prestigious royal warrants for the Knightsbridge store when they come up for review in February.
It would be a huge blow to the ego of store owner Mohammed Al Fayed - and would infuriate Diana, who was yesterday understood to be still with Dodi aboard his yacht, near the Italian island of Sardinia. But the Royal Family are furious about the frolics of Di, 36, and Dodi, 41, which they believe have further undermined the monarchy. Prince Philip, in particular, has made no secret as to how he feels about his daughter-in-law's latest man, referring to Dodi as an "oily bed-hopper".
At Balmoral next week, the Queen will preside over a meeting of The Way Ahead Group where the Windsors sit down with their senior advisers to discuss policy matters. MI6 has prepared a special report on the Egyptian-born Fayeds which will be presented to the meeting.
The delicate subject of Harrods and its royal warrants is also expected to be discussed. And the Fayeds can expect little sympathy from Philip. A friend of the royals said yesterday: "Prince Philip has let rip several times recently about the Fayeds - at a dinner party, during a country shoot and while on a visit to close friends in Germany.
"He's been banging on about his contempt for Dodi and how he is undesirable as a future stepfather to William and Harry.
"Diana has been told in no uncertain terms about the consequences should she continue the relationship with the Fayed boy.
"Options must include possible exile, although that would be very difficult as, all said and done, she is the mother of the future King of England.
"She has also been warned about social ostracism. But Diana's attitude is if that means not having to deal with the royals and their kind, then she would be delighted."
There are some who believe Diana may be past caring and has decided to look towards those who can afford to keep her in the lifestyle to which she became accustomed. The Fayed family have all the trappings of vast wealth... wherever it originated from.
And Dodi has told Diana what he has told many of his other beautiful girlfriends in the past: "It's my father's store and you can have what you want. Charge it to my account and I'll just sign the bill." But now the Royal Family may decide it is time to settle up.
By the time of the Sunday Mirror’s second edition, the story had been dropped. A terrible ‘accident’ involving Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed, first-born son of Mohamed Al Fayed, the owner of Harrod’s, happened minutes before the second edition was about to go to press. The news filtered in to every newsroom in London and the nation waited breathlessly for the wheels of history to turn, not daring to believe for a moment that anything could have happened to the People's Princes.
Just incase you missed the paragraph.....
.....At Balmoral next week, the Queen will preside over a meeting of The Way Ahead Group where the Windsors sit down with their senior advisers to discuss policy matters. MI6 has prepared a special report on the Egyptian-born Fayeds which will be presented to the meeting.

Israeli Minister threatens Holocaust for Gaza
Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister has threatened a "shoah", the Hebrew word for Holocaust - the word for the Nazi Holocaust, on the prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp. This comes after the execution, in the last two days of six children, including a 6 month old baby, along with more than 30 prisoners of the Concentration Camp.
There has been more than 200 murders by Israel, in the last 3 months of the prisoners. The prisoners are often executed, using American F16 fighter aircraft and laser guided missiles, paid for by American taxpayers. Some estimates put the amount, at more than 3 trillion dollars, spent by American taxpayers, for the ethnic cleansing purposes in the middle-east, in the last few years. There has been 1,173,743 killings in Iraq alone, since the American invasion of the region.
Most reports of this are censored by the corporate media in the US and this reporter's factual accounts, are consistently flagged by a right wing American agenda, within Now Public. Palestinians have killed a 47 year old Israeli in the same 3 month period. This is the only incident condemned by the US, who are meant to be an honest broker in the matter.
Some of Mr Vilnai's colleagues within the Defence Ministry of Israel, have quickly distanced themselves from his comments and also tried to downplay, them saying he did not actually mean genocide or holocaust. One humane Israeli, has produced a video (see below) denouncing his Governments actions as War Crimes.
Hamas the Islamist movement, which seized control of Gaza in June, after being elected the Government of the Concentration Camp, has said it will call a cease fire of the homemade missiles, if Israel stops its military operations including war crimes, in the Concentration Camp and ends the collective punishment or blockade against ordinary people. The Israeli army's blockade, has cut essential supplies to its 1.5m prisoners, who are starving and dying without proper medical treatment. Many children are also dying in the local hospital because of eliectricity and food shortages.
Under International law and the Geneva convention, the execution and torture of prisoners is expressly forbidden and regarded as war crimes. During the second world war, there were 11 million people executed during the Holocaust, almost half of them Jewish, in concentration camps and from the Warsaw ghettos, in a precisely similar manner. Reports were also censored by the Nazi authorities of these activities, with the resulting compliance of a passive population.

The Slaughter of Anti-Semitic Babies
After two days of murders, of more than 30 prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp and the killing of five young children, including a six month old baby by Laser guided missiles, fired from aircraft, subsidized by the American taxapayers, some humane Jews, are now starting to question their Governments policies, of targeting Anti-Semitic babies. The prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp killed a 47 year old man recently, in retaliation for the murder of more than 200 of its prisoners in Gaza in the last three months.
Meanwhile in the US media hardly a day passes without the press documenting, the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Europe. France and Britain are singled out as the worst offenders. Israel's daily newspaper Haaretz has included reports on the "New Anti-Semitism" on its website.
Commentators have stated that Israel's preoccupation with anti-Semitism, does not separate, the minor criticism in Europe towards Israel's savage military assault on the Palestinians prisoners in Gaza Concentration Camp, from the other Muslim youth street protests, angry at what they see, as the three billion dollar subsidy, by the US taxpayers, for the purpose of ethnic cleansing of Arabs, in the Middle -east.
The blurring of legitimate criticism, of daily Israeli war crimes and actions, with the other, illegitimate retaliation against Israel by the elected representatives of Hamas, serves a useful purpose for Israel. It has become difficult, almost impossible, to criticize, the daily suffering of millions of starved Palestinians prisoners, under occupation in Gaza Concentration Camp, without invoking the label "anti-Semite" from the organized Zionist lobby in the United States, who control all American presidents and indeed politics in Washington itself.
Endless speculation about the ugly return of anti-Semitism, is a powerful censorship tool, which includes the assassination of journalists, as a warning, to the assumption, that Jews, now inhabit a safe environment in the West, to be mistaken. Europe in particular, they insist, has barely moved on, from the days of late nineteenth-century France, when the army all too readily convicted an officer of treason, because he was Jewish.
Among Israelis it goes unquestioned that Jewish immigration, known as "aliyah"" is still supremely important if Israel is to remain a viable ethnic Jewish state and dominate all of Palestine.
The US policy is that the Palestinians who oppose this are terrorists and must be liquidated, are now fearful of Palestinians trying to swamp Palestine, with Arab babies in a war now termed by Israel, as the "battle of wombs". Hence the new phenomena of targeting Anti-semitic babies.
So prevalent is this view in Israel and Washington, that a former air force commander, Eitan Ben Eliahu, went unchallenged in a national television debate, when he stated: "We have to step up immigration immediately and in some way also thin out the number of Arabs here." He was restating arguments expressed with disturbing regularity in the Israeli government, particulalry from within the former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Likud Party.
The government of Israel has re-established the Demography Council, disbanded several years ago after complaints it was a racist institution, to find ways to promote increased fertility among Jewish women and to oversee elimination of Palestinian babies. Israel, however, will be hard-pushed to win the numbers battle, the birth rate among the country's large Arab minority is several times that of the Jewish majority. Hence the tactic of using the laser guided missiles, bought for them by US taxpayers, to target these anti-semitic babies in Gaza is required.
Former Prime minister, Sharon conceded this point early in his premiership, when he ordered one million Jews in Russia, to return to Israel, under the Law of Return. The problem is that many Jewish communities outside Israel, who dominate the media, banking, music, movie businesses, are so well organized and successful, that they are comfortably integrated and dominate their host countries. It is unlikely to be another exodus like the one from the Russia, in the early ' 90s.
There is a minority of intelligent humane Jews, who oppose this ethnic cleansing and below is a video created by one of them, unfortunately the situation in Gaza, bears an uncanny resemblance to the Concentration Camps of the holocaust which were allowed to happen by a compliant audience. Using American F16's, using laser guided missiles on a defenceless population and targeting young children and babies, is simply inexcusable and systematic state terrorism.
