Baghdad - Iraq's Prime Minister Wednesday called on all Arab and Muslim countries to cut their ties with Israel, calling the Israeli military attacks on Gaza "a dreadful crime," according to a press statement. Nouri al-Maliki said that "we ask Arab countries and all Muslims to cancel their diplomatic relations and stop all contacts - private and public - with this murderous regime, which continues its painful aggression against peaceful, unarmed civilians." "There are disputes worldwide, but to reach this degree of crime, which kills children and women is unacceptable. The international silence is very disturbing to us, we hope the international community and the Security Council would take fast decisions, clear and explicit to stop the massacres against the Palestinian people," he added. The Premier's statements came a day after Israeli attacks on three schools run by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip, including one that killed more than 46 civilians. Since Israel began operations on Gaza more than 10 days ago some 680 Palestinians have been killed. Iraq, where a US-led invasion overthrew former President Saddam Hussein in 2003, has no diplomatic ties with the Jewish state. Jordan and Egypt are the only two Arab states to sign peace deals with Israel. Both came under strong Arab pressure to do more to prevent Israeli attacks on Gaza.

How ironic, that the businesses of the Crusaders (British Telecom) are snapping ties with Israel, while Arab kingdoms (Jordan, Egypt etc) maintain pacts with Israel.

IDF (Israel army) only can deal with defenceless people, women and children they are all a bunch of cowards, they could not defeat Hizbullah in Lebanon. And they are thinking to go to war with Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and other neighbours, it will be the end of Israel. Foreign trrops will be doing nasty things in their main cities. The government of Israel is an enemy of peace and enemy of its own people. Israel chose Satan as his leader. But God will destroy them Amen!!!

The inexpensive oil in the Middle is behind this all.
With that fact only OPEC has the keys to end this non-ending crisis around the Palestinians - and to end it quickly.
1. They must stop shipping any oil immediately.
2. Only after the desired parties sit on the negotiating table OPEC resumes oil shipments, but this time only to countries that are not involved into this crisis.
3. Extortion and conspiracy or not, the favorable conditions will develop for the Palestinians and soon they can ink their dream come true deal, a deal that will last.

Dear brothers & siters across the world,
I storngly condemn the Israeli attack on unarmed palastinian civilians, i have a suggestion to the gewish community across the world that do not let such politations/government to lable your people with the title of "the worst people/nation of the world" like the Taliban gave to the muslim world, please do not repeat their mistak by choosing and allowing such politations in your country (Israel), Israel should immidiatly stop their offensive against the palastinal citizens. I am asking the Israeli government that if you are kiling the other countries citizens in the name of protecting your citizens then any nation/government has the right to defend their people and freedom.
The midle east envy Mr. Tony Blair said the cease fire is possible by cutting the borders of palastinians in order of not importing enough immunations to Hamas. I'm asking him that what about the israeli government's weapon contracts with EU members speacially from UK, why he (Mr. Blair) doesn't play as a honest mediator, wooow!!! Mr. Blair what an unjustified speach did you give!!!! which is total unbleivable from a politation like yourself, I personally lost my respect for you, if you want to do a proper justice about a situation first you should lesten and see the facts of the both sides then make your speach, don't make a horrable name in the history for yourself.
Kind Regards,
HGulyar,
UK,
