WHO IS OPPOSING PEACE IN GAZA ?? (544)
Now I am out of here but "I shall return"

The Aix Group, "a semi-official political-economic backchannel" is developing a plan for Palestinian refugees. The Aix Group's members include Israeli, Palestinian and international economic experts, academics, members of economic organizations, and officials from international institutions, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, who participate in the Aix Group in their personal capacities.
The group is administered by a steering committee led by Prof. Gilbert Benhayoun, a Moroccan-born Frenchman, Prof. Arie Arnon, economics professor from Ben-Gurion University in Be’er Sheva, Said Bamya, the former deputy minister for economic affairs in the Palestinian Authority, Dr. Ron Pundak, director of the Peres Center and Dr. Samir Hazbun from DATA Studies and Consultation. Other partners include the European Union, French donors, the World Bank, the French Foreign Ministry, the International Development Research Center in Canada, the General Council of the Bouches du Rhone, and the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur.
The Aix Group's document opens with a declaration of principles stating that an agreed and just long-term solution to the problem of the 1948 refugees must be based on the relevant United Nations resolutions, including General Assembly Resolution 194, but then nullifies that statement by saying that "a literal application of this Resolution is no longer possible given the substantial changes on the ground." The document then describes an arrangement that would substitute for the U.N. resolution which they have deemed no longer applicable, stating that, "The parties would agree that the measures recommended in the paper implement Resolution 194."
The reference to "substantial changes on the ground" as an obstacle that renders the UN resolution inapplicable perpetuates the myth that physical or material obstacles render return impossible. According to Salman Abu Sitta an expert on the Palestinian refugee issue, "90% of the village sites are still vacant, 7% are partially built-over, and only 3% are totally built over in Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem." Of course, there are obvious issues that would have to be addressed. But these problems have been dealt with in many places, such as Bosnia, Kosovo and Tajikistan, to name a few, and pose no obstacle in and of themselves to return.
A hint to what the real obstacle may be lies in Ha'aretz correspondent Akiva Eldar's statement that "The Aix Group is convinced that if bold steps are not taken in the right direction, the vision of one state for two peoples, based on joint citizenship and equality before the law, will be placed on the agenda."
The group suggests that an international committee of experts would determine what constitutes "fair and full" compensation for property claims. They estimate that the total cost of these claims will be between $15 billion and $30 billion.
The group makes it clear that in cases in which "fair and full compensation" is offered, "restitution" (the right of return) will not be considered.
This formulation turns the basic principle set in the UN Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons totally on end.
The UN principles clearly note that restitution is the primary remedy, and compensation only comes into play if refugees themselves choose compensation, or if restitution is factually not possible as determined by an independent tribunal.

"Palestinian refugees will be asked to choose a permanent place of residence, the group proposes that the individuals choose more than one alternative and rank their priorities."
But the implementation of this choice depends on "the states concerned", including Israel.
Aix proposes to create an International Agency for the Palestinian Refugees (IAPR) that will be responsible "to ensure that the final decisions satisfy the wishes of the refugees as much as possible and are in line with the overall agreements to be signed between the representatives of the two sides, and possibly also with the relevant host countries and other countries."
The Aix group expects that a large number of refugees will choose to relocate to other countries at the cost of $8 billion to $19 billion, depending on how many refugees will choose to move from their current country of residence. The plan suggests that some of the Palestinian refugees will be rehabilitated in their current locations and will receive compensation "in kind or in money" at a cost of $10 billion to $14 billion.
In addition, the group recommends the creation of a fourth fund, which will require about $22 billion, for compensation relating to "refugeehood" not related to property claims or the other programs. All the registered refugees will receive a uniform amount of about $5,000 each. According to Ha’aretz, the money can be attained in a period spread out over 10 years and with extensive, generous international aid.
Under international humanitarian law the right of refugees to return to their homes is an inalienable, individual human right. Like all human rights, it is invaluable and cannot be bought. Under Israel and Bush’s "solution", Palestinian refugee families who had been expelled from what is now Israel would be consigned to return, not to their homes, but to small, non-contiguous parts of less than 22% of their original homeland.
Jews from anywhere in the world, on the other hand, would be free to "return" to more than 78% of historic Palestine, frequently to live on land seized from those same Palestinian refugees.
Such clear discrimination against Palestinian refugees and privileging of Jews from anywhere in the world illustrates clearly that these proposals would further a separate but unequal solution that cannot result in peace.

Here is something from within Gaza that shows that even with the Israeli bombing, not all Palestinians from within the territory beleive in what Hamas is doing. It goes to show that even they are divided with their emotions and feelings too! Guess the sentiments run high on both sides of the fence. He was very brave to speak out.
AHMED, in Nuseirat refugee camp
There is no mutual accord between Hamas and Israel in this ceasefire - each side has its own truce and conditions. So people think the violence might start again, once Barack Obama has been inaugurated as US president.
Everything has stopped now, apart from the drones circling 200m above our heads, round and round. It's a constant buzzing noise, very wearing.
It's like an adventure for Hamas, but people's lives are not a game
Yesterday was great though, people began to get back to normal.
The Hamas statements in the media, 'We didn't leave our homes, we will stay on in our broken houses, in a tent if we have to' are nonsense. There is so much suffering.
Why tease Israel, why play with fire? It's like an adventure for Hamas, but people's lives are not a game. Why bring about this war? It's not to open the crossings, because that can be achieved by the Palestinian Authority and Egypt.
What's the point of making enemies with Israel? Israeli people can be good, we can live with them. But the amount of hatred here in Gaza, both for Israel and for Hamas... yes, hatred for both. You can feel it.
My family is divided over who to blame for this. My mother blames Israel for responding so harshly. The other members of my family blame Hamas for all this. But these views are for indoors only, no one must hear them outside.
When someone speaks out, Hamas are afraid, so they shut him up using force. Former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin used the same techniques.
A couple of days ago they shot someone in the legs here in Nuseirat camp, after he made jokes about the Hamas interior minister, Said Siyam being killed in a strike. Fatah people especially hated him.
Hamas has its spies who overheard him and they told the head of the intelligence services!
After they shot his legs, the man was shouting 'God bless Hamas!', so they wouldn't kill him. They left him bleeding in the street in the dark, and people only rescued him after the gunmen had gone.
We must stop playing these dirty games. Palestinian and Israeli residents should visit each other to discuss and explain things, the situation can't be solved by the leaders.
If we don't move forward, things will move backwards to violence, and very soon, I'm sure.

Again - I think you keep on getting mixed-up -
I have not seen anyone posting here that Hamas is the best solution for representing the Palestinians -
but one thing is sure - it happens to be a reaction to the sealing off the Gaza Strip - leaving its people trapped, supplies, water, food and medicine only at the "goodwill" of Israel, raiding any time houses, arresting People without record or trial. And don´t say they are all terrorists - they are not ! You know how they are treated in Israels prison ? Get reports from Amnisty !
I am sure also you know that Israels land seizures, oppressions and direct attacks (also from settlers on occupied land) go way back to the very beginning of their history - Palestinan´s always where a playball in Middle East politics, started by the British and then the Zionists wanting to "create the greater of great Israel", Palestinians only naturally where fed-up of the constant humilation and suffering in this way. Unfortunately Hamas is a product of that treatment, and somehow it seems Israel has been rather intrigued by their "luck to blame someone" enabeling going on and on - paying only lipservice for real talks - and not accepting Hamas in it.
Also, if you would make an effort to look at the maps and the walls being build always further into whats left of the Palestinian territory - would you say that this is a given right to create the "Greater Israel" by expelling and bulldozing people out of their homes and ancesters land ?
If you like I will give you plenty of ORIGINAL HISTORIC STATEMENTS way back in time of the Zionist movement -

patrickthomas: This is unquestionably disputable!
If it was a false statement, why did Egypt and Saudi both sign the treaties allowing the continuation of Israel.
Why, if you are correct and Israel has not right to be, have the rest of the Arab countries not forced Israel out, and not just now but 60 odd years ago when they were nothing like as well organised as now.
It would seem to me that as they accepted the British hand in setting up Israel, then you should also, if you disagreed with the 1948 resolution then so be it, but it is and remains, in place.

rizlared: Hamas is a terrorist group, they hide behind the skirts of innocent women rather than create a real army and have an outright fight with their supposed enemies, they retreat to innocent schools and hospitals to try and cause the gunfire to follow them and cause massive death and destruction which is then used as propaganda.
What is your dispute with this, Amnesty International stated on the news last night that the use of human shields by hamas was inhumane and that it should be stopped from immediate effect.

Many years ago, I had the distinct honour to meet Sir John Bagot Glubb, aka "Glubb Pasha" CO of the famous Arab Legion who fought so valiantly against the Zionist terrorists and their murderous Stern and Irgun death squads, via the equaly famous British writer A.K. Chesterton (one can look them up to find out just who they were) one of our family's 'British cousins'.
Glubb Pasha tried to persuade the waring factions of Palestinians and the more civilized factions of Zionists of a possible settlement of the Zionist occupation of Palestine. I still have the copy I was given by him: (first published 1971)
"A Tentative Solution"
The word tentative is used of the followinf proposals, because it is
not intended that the Great Powers should impose a detailed solution,
which must obviously be worked out in consultation between all concerned.
It is suggested that the United Nations or the Great Powers should prepare
proposals on the basis of the following points, discuss them with the parties
concerned, and, if necessary, bring some form of political or economic
pressure on such as refuse to give a reasonable amount of co-operation.
The government of Egypt, Israel and Jordan are specifically mentioned
because it is they who have agreed to negotiate. It would be extremely
valuable to secure the co-operation of Syria also and, of course, of any
other Middle East governments, but a settlement should not be delayed
until all the "Arab" governments agree.

THE SOLUTION PART 2
1. Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 border. This withdrawal should be
accompanied by an Egypto-Jordanian declaration recognizing the
existence of Israel, and promising free navigation of the Suez Canal
and the Straits of Tiran.
The withdrawal is the only obligation incumbent on Israel.
2. Occupation by Neutral Troops
As soon as Israel withdraws, the areas between the Jordan River and
the Israeli border( hereafter referred to as the West Bank) should
immediately be occupied by neutral troops Smaller detachments could
also be placed at Al Arish and Sharm al Shaikh..
The Jordan government could provide civil servants and police for the
West Bank, but the Jordan army should remain east of the Jordan River.
3. RESETTLEMENT OF THE REFUGEES
The heart of the problem does not lie in making peace between Israel,
Egypt and Jordan, but in the resettlement of the native population of
Palestine, who have been forcibly evicted from their country.
4.Constructive Projects
When Israel has withdrawn to the pre-1967 line, one-fifth of the area
of Palestine will be freed to accommodate the population which
previously occupied the whole country.
A consortium of Great Powers, presumably under the auspices of
the United Nations, should then undertake to develop this area to
enable it to carry a larger population. The Palestinians are good
farmers but, of course, have no capital. Nor have they the technical
knowledge to undertake major projects. Considerable agricultural
development and a certain amount of industrialization are possible
in this area.

callibya: Here is something from within Gaza that shows that even with the Israeli bombing, not all Palestinians from within the territory beleive in what Hamas is doing.

Something to keep in mind Callibya...Muhammad Abushaban of Central Gaza City was speaking directly from Gaza, not the U.S., Canada or anywhere else. He is not an Israeli spy but rather a decent man who did not sell his soul to the Hamas and is able to finally speak his mind what atrocities that Hamas has brought upon the Palestinian people. Most likely, Hamas will probably shoot him dead for this statement when they find him.
Hamas, like some of the CSers here, gets very mad when anyone wishes to have free speech that dissents from their views. Like Mohammad said... Hamas has their spies.
When someone speaks out, Hamas are afraid, so they shut him up using force. Former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin used the same techniques.
A couple of days ago they shot someone in the legs here in Nuseirat camp, after he made jokes about the Hamas interior minister, Said Siyam being killed in a strike. Fatah people especially hated him.
Hamas has its spies who overheard him and they told the head of the intelligence services!
After they shot his legs, the man was shouting 'God bless Hamas!', so they wouldn't kill him. They left him bleeding in the street in the dark, and people only rescued him after the gunmen had gone.
I will repeat again a part of the article just what this man has said.

Dear LILLYLADY this is a bedtime story before you sleep:
If an insect falls in your cup of coffee, What will your reaction be? The Englishman throws the cup away and walks out of the café. The American takes the insect out and drinks the coffee. The Chinese eats the insect and throws the coffee. The besieged Palestinian drinks the coffee and eats the insect. The Israeli sells the coffee to the American and the insect to the Chinese; he screams that his security is in peril, accuses the Palestinians of throwing the insect in his coffee, alleges that Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrians and the Iranians advocate attacks with weapons of mass insects; he relates this vicious attack to the Palestinian “terrorism” ,attacks on human rights, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, the Diaspora, the exodus, discrimination on Noah’s ark , he asks Gaza civilians to immediately stop insects from flying in the air or landing in coffee cups, re-occupies the west bank and Gaza , razes houses, cuts off water and electricity, humiliates and terrorizes civilians, kills or mains anyone in his way, imposes on the Americans more military aid, demands a 100-year billion dollar, loan from America to buy another cup of coffee, claims life-time free coffee as compensation .
And you can write that I am disgrace to humanity, I don't mind, on the contrary...I will do all I can to expel the Arabs from here, I will do all I can to increase anti-Semitism, and you will ... be prepared to absorb the Yids I will force to flee to this country and teach them to be a light unto the gentiles.
Ariel Sharon, 1987
