UNLEGAL OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE IS A FORM OF STATE TERRORISM.
THE REAL AXIS OF EVIL IN THE WORLD IS THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE USA - ISRAEL.
THE "ROAD MAP" -PLAN WAS BASED ON LIES.
HAMAS VICTORY IN JANUARY 2006 A NUISANCE FOR THE WEST.

2007 - 2009. HAMAS PRESSED DOWN BY EXTERNAL POWERS IN SPITE OF NATIONALS´ SUPPORT.
______________________________________________________________
General features. Contemporary history in nutshell.
The state of Israel was established in Palestine in by foreign violent methods in 1948. Since then there have been contradictions and conflicts between Israel and Palestinians.
The intifada of 1987 ended to an artificial peace. This kind of an unjust peace created basis for new intifada, which began in September 2000.
In 2000 Israel began systematically violete the UN resolutions 242 and 388, which have been designed to guarantee Palestinians´ regional rights. Israel began to start its own building projects in Palestinean area.
The clashes in Palestine and Israel in September 2000 turned to war. Now, under the regime of Ariel Sharon, the new Israeli PM, an inter-state full war is still closer. Quite obvioulsy there are connections between the imperialist war in autumn 2001 in Afghanistan and the contemporary situation in Palestine.
Strangely enough, the new Intifada in Palestine and Israel has almost all specialists agreeing: Israel's nuclear weapons and regional military dominance are not going to keep it from losing the war it has now let take place. Its Arab neighbors, instead of traditional saber-rattling and preparations for war, are just going to sit back and watch Israel exhaust itself in a guerrilla war it can't win and quietly resupply the Palestinians with small arms and explosives they need for armed conflict. It's a "Win Win" situation for Arab nations and the United States is losing its credibility as it has to keep Israel from starting a "hot war" ... as long as Israel's neighbors don't get their armed forces directly involved.
When we say "almost all specialists", that includes Israeli intelligence specialists. Listen to former Shin Bet director, Ami Ayalon, quoted by "Ma'ariv" on 5 December, speaking at a conference in memory of Finance Ministry budget division Yom Kippur War dead: "The Palestinians learned that Israel only understands force ... The Palestinians believe that this is the only way they can realize their political goals, the foremost of which is to found a state ... The things a Palestinian has to endure, simply coming to work in the morning, is a long and continuous nightmare that includes humiliation bordering on despair ... But in the last seven years he has discovered that there is another way. They learned this from Hezbollah and from us."
Palestinias know that they will win this new war.
Ariel Sharon and his nazi-style expansion politics has support in Israel. Yet Sharon does not have many friends in Near East and for sure even less elsewhere in the world.
Israel has traditionally supported the US imperialist politics. Israel can also be seen as a guard of American interests in the Near East.
On this background the new situation in the Near East may have historical signifigance. It is possible that Americans must evaluate their global position in a new way.
In January 2001 the American attempts for peace agreement according to their own interests failed as expected. Palestinians and other Arab countries did not rely on the principal treaty proposal because its details were secret.
It is quite possible that after the political failure the imperialist powers plan for a military intervention in the Near East.
U.S. military forces in Europe, which were at threat condition "Bravo," were set to be upgraded to condition "Charlie" by Jan. 20, while other elements of U.S. European theater forces -- as well as Britis special forces troops -- may be headed to Israel, sources were told WorldNetDaily.
According to a host of reports from various European and Middle East military sources, all of whom requested anonymity for security reasons, European Command, or EUCOM, forces were placed on alert status "Bravo" -- with "Alpha" being the lowest and "Delta" being the highest -- "across the board," which included all U.S. forces stationed in the European theater -- Germany, Italy, Kosovo, Bosnia and elsewhere.
Israel has rejected the proposal for international observers and peacekeeping operations.
Arab countries agreed in Amman in March 2001 for common front against Ariel Saharon´s political goals. Obviously the united Arabic power has confused the US government because this time it hesitates supporting all Israeli attacks.
Palestinians have been widely supported all around the world. The Palestinian ghetto in Gaza formed by Israel is very much like Jewish ghetto in Warzaw during the WW II. Israel does not have much friends any more. Even most the West-European countries which have traditionally been friends of Israel, have turned their back to fascist Zionism.
When planning for possible military activities in the Near East the US must note that its European NATO-allies may not join the operation.
Cuba, Iran, China, north Korea and other anti-imperialist countries have condemned Israeli expansion politics with strong words. They are backed by practically all of the third world countries.
Palestinian ambassador to the DPRK Shaher Mohammed Abdlah hosted a reception at his embassy in Pyongyang on April 12, 2001 on the occasions of Sun's Day, the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung. The ambassador in his address said that the president set forth a correct ideology which serves as a guideline for the Korean people and the world people. According to the representative of Workers´, Party of Korea the DPRK will as ever extend positive support to the Palestinian people's just struggle to retake legitimate national rights including the right to repatriation, the right to self-determination, the right to establish an independent state with Kuds as its capital.
Socialist Republic of Vietnam condemned officially strongly in May 2001 the Israeli aggressions.
In June 2001 Palestinian state sent official thanks to Cuba for the political support for Palestinians´ struggle.
Palestinian and Israeli workers celebrated together workers´ May 1st in 2001 and in 2002 with traditional signs and red flags. Israel oppresses both Jewish and Arab workers. Though there is unemployment in the country, employment service agencies have been closed.
In May 2001 Ariel Sharon informed about new colonies to be built at the West Bank. This act ment final end for serious talks for ceasefire.
There have been massive demonstrations and protests in May 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in Palestine on the day of Catastroph, the 53rd - 57th anniversaries of establishing the state of Israel.
According to the power media efforts for negotiations have been operated under US leadership. However, according to appreciated international observers no results are possible without Russian or some other outsider´s contribution.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat conferred on May 29th with top Russian officials, who have signaled Moscow's desire to shift diplomatic efforts in the Middle East from shuttle diplomacy to an international conference.
"Russia has always stood for a peaceful settlement and the establishment of a stable and just peace in the Middle East," Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said at the beginning of his talks with Arafat.
Ivanov said that shuttle diplomacy by U.S. seemed to be yielding few results. He issued a new call for an international conference to persuade Israel and the Palestinians to refrain from violence and resume peace talks.
In the meeting in Qatar in May 2001 the Arab countries confirmed once more their united front. According to the resolution made in the meeting Arab countries intend to set Israel into international isolation.
According the the power media new talks are going on under US leadership "without outside observers ". In clear words this act ment planning for a US-Israeli dictate on Palestine. No hope for success. The so called ceasefires may stand for a while, but they are no decisions.
In June 2001 Israel looked for military co-operation with Turkey. Countries have had common maneuvers. Well, both Israel and Turkey have the same ideology, fascism.
In July 2001 Ariel Sharon asked for German help for the near East crisis. The answer was negative. Ariel Sharon himself admitted that Israel has to make some concessions because of now being all alone.
Arab countries had talks in Cairo in July 2001. The committee was set up at the Arab summit held in October 2000 in Cairo to follow up the implementation of moral and financial aids pledged by the Arab leaders to the Palestinians. It was made up of foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian National Authority, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Tunisia, as well as the Arab League chief.
Fatah, Hezbollah and Jihad planned for still more intensive co-operation in their meeting in Ramallah on August 11th. 2001. Later in August also PFLP joined the struggle.
Israel´s military power is not a crucial point in the contemporary situation. Arabs´ readiness to sacrifices, new common spirit, world´s general political opinion and as a new phenomena Iraqi´s support to Palestine in August 2001 a as well as the likely other anticipated expressions of strenghtening of the Arab front cannot be destroyed by weapons.
At the invitation of Chinese President Jiang Zemin, President of the State of Palestine and Chairman of the Palestinian National Authority Yasser Arafat visited China in the end of August 2001. China's support has encouraged the Palestinian people and Palestine will continue to strive for peace, said Yasser Arafat after the visit.
At the same time Yasser Arafat visited also Vietnam. The Vietnamese government promised support to Palestinians, too.
In the end of August 2001 Egypt reaffirmed once more its support for Palestine.
In the end of August 2001 the Cuban Foreign Ministry strongly condemned assassination of Palestinian leader Abu Ali Mustafa by an Israeli army hit squad. A statement published in Tuesday's edition of Granma, called the killing an act of barbarity and repulsive terrorism authorized by a head of state and carried out with US sophisticated arms in open impunity before the international community.
Corresponding strong words have been all the time heard all around the world. Among others also China, Iran and Egypt have expressed their official condemnations against the unscrupulous assassination.
In the beginning of September 2001 the Israeli internal opposition s called for sense in the government´s absurd politics. Especially political murders have been condemned. Communist Party of Israel has declared their strong condemnation on government´s politics.
In September 2001 the impudence of Israeli soldiers reached already the level of threateing UN officials. An UN car convey was stopped with arms without any logical reason.
The anti-racism meetings in Durban in South Africa gave an idea of the contradictions of the world especially in the case of Palestine. USA and Israel on one side, all the other world on the opposite side.
In 2001 - 2003 the US armed forces have all the time been ready for any kind of activities close to the Palestinean area.
In case NATO occupies Palestina´s territory, the Palestinians will quite obviously forget all hope for an independent state.
The massive attack against Pentagon and World Trade Center in USA in September 2001 with further processes made the situation in Palestine still more difficult. When world´s attention was elsewhere in the world the Israeli government implemented new heavy military attacks at Gaza area and at West Bank.
The first reaction against possible future US aggressions in Middle East in September 2001 was the Gulf Arab countries´ resolution not to buy any more arms from USA..
In 2001- 2003 the militant PFLP with its foreign supporters achieved more political weight while Yasser Arafat´s PLO is loosing contribution among Palestinians. Palestine people are not going to surrender.
PFLP, Hezbollah, Hamas and Jihad are popular oraganizations and ways of thinking.
At last in the end of 2001 USA gave Israel free hands to operate et Palestinian areas.This may mean the "final solution", large massacre in Palestine.
The danger of large inter-state war exists because Arab countries surrounding Palestine hardly allow the possible mass slaughtering of Palestinians.
Palestina has asked the UN to send troops at to the crisis area. The US prevented in the Security Council this act by its veto. To be expressed in other words USA allows massacre of Palestinian people.
In the middle of December 2001 Egypt, Iraq and Iran expressed their unanimous and clear support for Palestinians. The words used by these states referred to possibility to use even military methods.
Different Palestinians´ organizations and people´s anger caused by the Israeli state terrorism cannot be controlled by the Palestinian government.
Peace in Palestine is possible only by justice and by forming of sovereign Palestinian state.
The International Anti-imperialist Solidarity Delegation participated in Palestine in turn of 2001/2002 a demonstration against Israeli Occupation. The demonstration was organised by a broad coalition of local Palestinian organisations, the Christian churches and various international delegations.
A period of minor violence in Palestine lasted for one month and ended in the middle of January 2002. New strikes on both sides. Nothing was changed. The US supports Israel and the UN is powerless. No improvement in the situation can be expected unless Russia, the EU or some other third power - as for instance China - gets involved in all the problematics.
In the end of January 2002 the western desperate propaganda has reached its top when the US president accused Yasser Arafat to be a "mafia man".
Support for Palestine by other Arab countries has strenghtened. In the beginning of 2002 Saudi Arabia condmened with strong words US-Israeli imperialist agressions.
In February 2002 a rebel movement rose in the Israeli army. Soldiers did dot want to be murderers.
Palestinians got sophisticated arms in spring 2002. Palestinian militants ambushed an Israeli Merkava Mark-3 battle tank in the Gaza Strip Feb. 15. The attack on one of Israel's toughest warfighting machines heralded a new phase in Palestinian military capabilities that will reshape the entire conflict.
Israelis lose faith in military solution at that stage. "Ariel Sharon's strategy is collapsing," said the Israeli Ma'ariv newspaper. "At this stage, as difficult as it may be to say so openly, the Palestinians are losing the battles to a superior force, but Israel is losing the war." In Ma'ariv's weekend opinion polls, some 49% of Israelis agreed, saying the "national leadership has lost control of the security situation".
In the end of February 2002 Tel Aviv got a Saudi Arabia-sponsored Middle East peace proposal as the spasm of violence continued in occupied Palestinian territories. Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah called on Arab states to recognize Israel and normalize relations with Tel Aviv in return for a full Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.
In the beginning of March 2002 Israel had an additional problem. Israeli´s economy was about to collapse.
In March 2002 The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) decided to cut all security and political ties with the Israeli government until it stops military operations into the Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank.
Both the Arab League and the African Union gave in their summits in Jordania and in Egypt in March 10th 2002 their full support for Palestinians´ fight.
At last in March 2002 the UN Security Council made a contructive resolution which makes birth of independent Palestine possible. According to the power mass media this step forwards was somehow caused by the US. Yet USA has from September 2000 resisted UN´s involvement. In the contemporary extreme violent situation USA had to withdraw, at least temporarily.
Israel has not a slighest idea for honouring any kind of UN charters or agreements. The Knesset Finance Committee approved on March 13th, 2002 NIS 135 million for new settlements in West Bank.
The Arab summit in Beirut did not achieve results. The US-Israeli imperialism had intentionally destroyed in advance the summit by forcing Yasser Arafat to apply for Israeli permit for his presence. Additionally, the previous Amman summit resolutions were rejected. This was an absurd and impossible situation. Hence many members of the Arab League did not participate the summit at all. The Beirut resolution document is worth nothing. Palestinians do never admit such a dictatory "agreement". Israel will never draw it troops back to the 1967 borderlines. The summit was a farce. Violences continued.
The Israeli forces attacked on Yasser Arafat´s office after the "peace talks". This type of an act was the worst possible mistake by Israeli politics. If Israel and its politics ever had friends in this world, there are now hardly not many of them left... however, it seems quite possible that the US backed this absurd attack. Anyway the US was aware of the plan.
Israel continued its aggressions in Palestine in spite of the UN resolution claiming Israel to withdraw its troops from Palestine. Israel has never honoured UN resolutions. USA voted for the resolution; at the same time it supports Israeli attacks.
Ariel Sharon made his choice: War. All Palestine organizations, including Yasser Arafat and the Fatah, are obliged to accept the challenge.
More than 200 international volunteers, including some 50 Britons, deployed themselves in Ramallah and two refugee camps at Bethlehem last night in an attempt to form "human shields" for Palestinian families.
In April 2002 fights between Hezbollah and Israel escalated the war to Lebanon. There were military activation also in Jordan. Syria has begun at least unofficial military mobilization.
In April 2002 Egypt downgraded ties with Israel. The Egyptian cabinet decided to sever all relations with the Israeli government, expect those at diplomatic level, in support of the Palestine cause.
In April 2002 US forced Yasser Arafat to accept ceasefire. That type of ceasefires do not solve any problem.
The US pretended to demand Israel to withdraw. However, the very origin of the crisis is based on the US imperialism´s regional claims at the area. Hence Mr. George Bush´s and his errand boy Tony Blair´s words are not worth anything.
Arab foreign ministers held on April 5th 2002 a consultative meeting at the Cairo-based Arab League headquarters. The meeting emphasized the intentional Israeli and US sabotage in order to eliminate results of the Beirut summit in advance.
In the second week of April 2002 thirteen Israeli reservists were killed and seven wounded in an ambush during a day of fierce fighting with Palestinian gunmen in a refugee camp in the West Bank town of Jenin. These casualities increase internal political pressures in Israel.
In April 2002 Iraq stopped oil supply to the west.
Hezbollah added its activities. Israel has reason to be afraid for attacks also from south, from Negevi desert.
In the mass grave found in Palestine in spring 2002 there were Palestinians killed by Israeli people or soldiers. The Israeli soldiers tried to destroy evidences.
The US representative Colin Powell and Yasser Arafat met on April 14th, 2002. The meeting was a political victory for Yasssr Arafat for two reasons. First the US representative was Powell, not Zinni who is only Sharon´s errand boy. Secondly the Israeli terrorism was confessed as a concrete fact. Anyway, these talks did not produce any resolution. The US delayed this connection intentionally. The US wanted to give Sharon time.
After the Jenin massacre in Palestine carried out by the Israeli army the US president called Ariel Sharon "a man of peace". According to world´s general opinion Mr. Bush is rather a simple person. However, obviously he has certain amount of sense of very peculiar humour.
Palestinians and Yasser Arafat demand absolute withdrawal of Israeli troops from the occupied areas. This demand has larger international support than ever, even in the US at the people´s level. Israel will never accept the withdrawal. The talks without handling this principal contradiction are nothing but small-talk.
In April 2002 the US decided to continue and to increase its military aid to Israel.
Israel has - by the US support - prevented the arrival of a United Nations delegation established to investigate charges of Israeli massacres and atrocities in the Palestinian Jenin refugee camp. The truth cannot be hided, if the investigators are honest. Yet there are doubts. As far as we know, the members of the forensic group would partially consist of the same persons who falsified the Racak-case in Kosovo. Quite obviusly certain quarters want to hide and forget Israel´s crimes.
The UN has shown its complete incapability and even missing of real efforts in the Palestinian issue.
The EU has shown its hypocricy. The EU-leaders speak, but do not do anything for Palestinians. Just the opposite. The EU has labeled the PFLP a terror organization according to the US wishes.
In May 2002 cargo planes delivering assistance from the Libyan people to their brothers the Palestinians arrived successively at Alarish airport in Egypt. A Libyan airlines established an air-bridge for the delivery of assistance and relief.
In May 2002 nineteen Arab countries agreed to reactivate a decades-old economic blockade of Israel. Economic boycott of Israel was agreed to in 1951 but has remained largely inactive and ineffective. It has slackened particularly since the launch of the Middle East peace process in the early 1990s.
The Arab nations decided at a three-day meeting in Damascus last week to revive the boycott. Representatives of Syria, Iraq, the Sudan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, the UAE Emirates, Kuwait, Libya, Somalia, Comoros, Morocco, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Djibouti attended the meeting.
In May 2002 with 54 nations abstaining as a protest over what they called an imbalanced resolution, the U.N. General Assembly condemned by 74-4 vote Israel's West Bank offensive.
Palestinians at home and in the Diaspora on May 15th, 2002 observed the 54th anniversary of the Nakba, the loss of their ancestral motherland to Zionist Jews. Mass rallies all over Palestine.
In May 2002 the Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat told reporters that elections would only be held in the West Bank and Gaza Strip once Israeli occupation had ended, but his advisers later clarified that the voting is being linked to a far more modest withdrawal demand. Palestinian sources said that elections would be held within six months, on condition that IDF troops first withdraw to positions they held before the outbreak of the intifada, some 20 months ago.
Israel made a decision to build 1000 new settlements in Palestine in summer 2002. This decision is in sharp contradiction with the UN resolutions 242 and 388. Israel wants to continue the war.
Israeli tanks entered Palestine again in the beginning of June 2002, this time to Nablus, to Tulkarem and to Ramallah.
June 2002. Israel occupied Reuters office, attacks journalists. As Israel's bloody ethnic cleansing continues, they must escalate attacks against free information, lest the ignorant Americans who support them get the "wrong" idea. If Israel has nothing to hide, why are they attacking Reuters journalists? (United Press International via COMTEX) -- The Foreign Press Association Monday slammed Israeli authorities for preventing free coverage of the West Bank town of Ramallah, seizing the Reuters news agency offices there, and the continued detention of Palestinian journalists working for some foreign news agencies..
According to the Chinese official sources in June 2002 China will play bigger role for peace in Mideast. China´s help might be the first honest exterial effort to solve the Mideast problem.
In summer 2002 the confrontation reached its climax at that stage. Israel used heavy weaponary. Israel did its utmost to prevent humanitarian aid to Palestinians from Iran, Iraq, Libya and other Arab countries. The EU froze their aid. The US gave Ariel Sharon in practice free hands to continue mass murdering. The Palestinians did not have any other possibilities than to fight by all possible means.
In the end of June 2002 the desperate situation produced a proposal for unilateral withdrawal by Israeli NGOs.
President Bush wants moderate Yasser Arafat to resign. What kind of a clown might be in Bush´s mind to lead Palestine? The Palestinians will for sure not elect that type of a person. In July 2002 there were in Palestine large demos for Arafat and against Bush´s speeches.
In July 2002 the Israeli government adopted to proposal to keep some rural communities Jewish only.
In the middle of July 2002 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops took over the offices of Palnet, the leading Palestinian Internet service provider, shutting down the firm's operations.
The missile attack by an Israeli fighter in Gaza against civilians in July 2002 was strongly condemned by all the world. Ariel Sharon found the attack "a successful operation". The US and the EU participated the chorus of condemnation but in fact they continue supporting Ariel Sharon´s politics.
250 000 people demonstrated in Palestine against that Israeli crime aganist humanity.
Ariel Sharon´s aim is to destroy plans for ceasefire and peace. He has succeded. Palestinian ceasefire plan lies buried in the rubble of Gaza. Tanks in Nablus in the beginning of August 2002 made the figure complete.
Let us remember that the Israeli terrorism is based on state level deliberate decisions while Palestinians´ attacks have been carried out by separate organizations and by private persons. The government of Palestine has for sure never given and order for violent activities.
In the end of July 2002 USA defended Israel´s atrocities in the meeting of UN Security Councel. By her veto the US prevented UN´s involvement in the continuing massacre in the MidEast.
In the beginning of August 2002 Israel offered money to Palestine in order to ease the tension. The Palestinians refused an Israeli payment of US$14.7 million.
In August 2002 the UN surprisingly gave a new interpretation of the Jenin incidents. According to the UN there was no bloodbath. Yet there is are lot of photos and text material of the Jenin massacre.
August 2002. Gush Shalom, an Israeli peace organization, had in past months sent threatening letters to Israel Defense Forces officers who are on duty in the territories. The letters claim that the officers are guilty of offenses tantamount to war crimes. The officers were warned in these letters that the movement is monitoring their actions, and that Gush Shalom intends to compile information against them which will be submitted to the International Criminal Court.
In 2002 a new still stronger circulation of revenge was born because of Israeli attacks on Gaza and Nablus. Palestinians do not have anything loose any more. The world has seen their willingness for fight. Israel with her armed forces faced an impossible situation.
In August 2002 Israel asked the US to carry out soon the attack on Iraq. This way the attention of the world would for a while turn off from the embarrassing problem of Palestine.
Israel has hinted to the possibility of using their nukes.
The real Axis of Evil in the world is according to all intellectual criteria the unholy alliance between USA and Israel.
The western media spoke in August 2002 of foreign advisors and continuing of talks. We do not know who are the Palestininans who support that type of activities. The Hamas, the Jihad, the PFLP and even Yarafat´s Fatah have informed that they will talk only on one topic: full independence of Palestine.
In September 2002 Israel cancelled all the peace agreements signed with the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). This is a declaration of war, said PNA Minister of Information Yasser Abed Rabbo.
Compounding Yasser Arafat´s headquarters in September 2002 gave an idea of childish messing by the Israeli political and military decisionmakers. They dare not murder Yarafat because on the large international pressure. This operation was some kind of an internal compromise.
Chinese FM spokesman Kong Quan stated September 17 that seasoned diplomat Wang Shijie was appointed special envoy to the Mid-east by the Chinese government.
This was the first ever special envoy the Chinese government had sent to the Mid-east, indicating that China has come to make a change of its foreign policy towards the Mid-east and strengthen its participation in the Mid-east issue.
The war went on by the huge Israeli bulldozers destroying the buildings of the Muqata. AP. All the madness continues. In the first week in October 2002 more than ten people were killed and more than 100 people were injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza and Jenin.
In October 2002 a group of kibbuzniks - fed up with the mad activities of the Israeli government - voluntarily offered part of their areas to Palestinians.
In the end of October 2002 Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), said that Israel would bar 10 PLC members from Gaza from attending a meeting in Ramallah to vote for a new Palestinian National Authority (PNA) cabinet. However, Yasser Arafat succeeded to form the new cabinet.
The UN resolution against Iraq in November 2002 has its affects also on Palestine. In case imperialism is able to destroy national regime of Iraq, it is one step further to do the same also in Palestine.
In November 2002, immediately after the unbelievable new UN resolution on Iraq the Isareli armed forces have got an order to expand military operations on the West Bank.
The Chinese envoy met Yasser Arafat in Ramallah in November 2002.
In the end of 2002 violency in Palestine and in Isarel accelerated again. Indeed, Israel entered a war it really cannot win. The new Israeli aggressions cause expanding violence also elsewhere in the world.
The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and China signed on December 10th, 2002 an economical agreement, under which China will provide the PNA 2.5 million US dollars to help reconstruct Palestine's deteriorating economy.
Most Palestinians believe suicide bombings against Israel are justified and only a handful support ending the violent uprising, according to a poll released on December 18th, 2002.
Thousands of supporters of the Palestinian mainstream Fatah movement rallied in Gaza City on December 31st, 2002 to show support for Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on the occasion of Fatah's 38th anniversary.
Violences and counterviolences in the beginning of January 2003 confirmed that the Iasraeli militarism cannot control the prevailing situation.
Israel builds walls around Palestine like Nazis made in Warzaw during the WWII. That kind of walls will fall sooner or later anyway.
The PFLP delegation affirmed in Cairo in January 2003 its position that the resistance must continue and the intifada must continue. It also affirmed that the armed resistance is a legitimate right of the Palestinian people until the last Israeli soldier is expelled from our land. Other Palestine organizations agreed with this principle.
Ariel Sharon´s victory in elections in January 2003 did really not give any better views for the future of the region. New massive Israeli destruction operations in Palestinean areas started immeditely.
In February 2003 Israel reacted with fury over a Belgian Supreme Court ruling that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon could face war crime charges after he leaves office.
In February 2003 Ariel Sharon - who has obviously mental problems like George W. Bush, proposed for attacks on Libya, Syria and Iran after the war on Iraq.
In March 2003 the murders commited in Palestine by Israeli armed forces led to a suicide attack in Haifa, north Israel. At least 15 people died.
Killing an American student and coldblooded murdering of eleven Palestinians in the middle of March 2003 give an idea of the direction of the ongoing process. When world´s focus is in Iraq the Zionists do not hesitate to use any kind of means in order to carry out the "final solution" of the Palestine issue.
A new suicide attack occurred in Israel in the end of March 2003.
When the US/UK war coaltition achieved its violent victory in Iraq in April 2003 also the arrogant Israeli violences in Palestine accelerated. Destinies of Palestinian and Iraqi people are tied with each other in many ways.
New government in Palestine. Radical Palestinian groups slammed the new reformist Palestinian cabinet on April 24th, 2003 and warned prime minister-designate Mahmoud Abbas against cracking down on their uprising against Israeli occupation.
In the turn of April-May 2003 the new US- and EU -manipulated "roadmap peace plan", which was based on denying of the prevailing regional economic and political contradictions, collapsed at once with violences in Israel and in Palestine.
In May 2003, instead of any kind of aim for peace, the Israeli government has used still more brutal measures against Palestinians.
Bush ans Sharon may force Palestinean government to accept the Road Map -plan. It does not mean peace.
China's Middle East envoy Wang Shijie met Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
In May 2003 web-sites pf Palestine health ministry, Jerusalem Indymedia and PFLP were hacked and they do not work any more. Is it a question of hiding of still more brutal activities against Palestinians?
The Road Map -plan is not based on historical facts. It is based on lies and dictating. It will never lead to peace. Among other absurdities the plan means in practice ousting of Yasser Arafat, who is respected and honored by almost all Palestinians. He has refused to go.
In May 2003 president Arafat met French Foreign Minister, de Villepin, who defied Sharon by insisting on this meenting, which is a rare stance a Western politician may dare do.
In the beginning of June 2003 world´s political leaders and power media praised the "road map" -plan. Yes, many quarters support the plan. Except the crucial and big amount of Palestinians and Israelis.
The U.S. and Israel try to "negotiate" with prime minister Abbas, who does not have the necessary support by Palestinians. The U.S. and Israel have tried to ignore Yasser Arafat, who has the political support among Palestinians. This situation makes the "Road map" plan ridiculous and absurd.
The three main Palestinian militant groups staged an unusual joint attack on June 8th, 2003 on an Israeli Army outpost, killing four soldiers and registering their clear and violent opposition to the American-led peace initiative. A fifth Israeli soldier was killed in a second attack later today in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Thanks to the Road Map -plan a new enormous spiral of violence is a fact in today´s Palestine and Israel.
A temporary ceasefire was born between Hamas/Jihad and Israel in the end of June 2003. Israel began to withdraw its troops from Palestinean areas. It is for us to see in the near future what kind of signifigance those arrangements will have.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) announced on Jun 28th, 2003 that the movement would not agree on any ceasefire with Israel.
Israel rejected the truce. "We do not give any value to this (Hamas/Jihad) announcement," said Sharon's spokesman on June 29th, 2003.
In July 2003 the fate of Palestinian prisoners in Israel formed a new obstacle on truce. Israel promised to release some hundreds detainees. The amount of prisoners is about 6000.
Failure of talks between Abbas and Sharon in July 2003 was the last point for the death of the road map -plan.
Abbas´es visit to the U.S. in July 2003 may be seen more ore less like bad farce. Yasser Arafat and Palestine people do not accept new lousy "peace plans".
The western media tries to convince that the U.S. wants peace in Palestine. In fact, the U.S. wants the war to continue, not peace. Immediately after Sharon´s meeting with Bush in August 2003 new heavy repressions began against Palestinians.
In August 2003 Israel continued to construct the wall around the Palestine areas. Additionally, Israel is going to establish new settlements.
In early August 2003 the Israeli Knesset accepted an apartheid-type marriage law for restricting citizenship on racial basis.
In August 2003 Israel froze the diplomatic process with the Palestinians.
Clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli troops in August 2003 ment beginning of new heavy hostilities between Palestinians and Israel.
In August 2003 PNA dismissed release of 73 detainees as 'sham'. At the same time the Israeli occupation forces detained more Palestinians.
"The road map is dead, but only because of Israeli military aggression in recent weeks," Arafat said in the early September 2003.
The Palestinean prime minister Abbas resigned on September 6th, 2003. Israelis do not negotiate with Yasser Arafat or anyone appointed by him. Yasser Arafat is the only person who can appoint a new PM. The deadlock is complete. USA and Israel have made the deadlock insolvable.
Arafat´s PM nominee was Ahmed Qurei. After meeting with Qorei, Arafat told leaders of his Fatah Party and other factions that Qorei had accepted the nomination, said an official who was present at the meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity. But Qorei said he had not given his final answer. Israel immediately rejected Qorei's demand. A senior Israeli official traveling with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in New Delhi that Israel would keep up assassination of Palestinians until the Palestinian Authority takes action against militants. Hence the unsolved equation remains.
However, Ahmed Qurei, or Abu Alla, the speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), said on September 10th, 2003 he has accepted the post of prime minister and will form a crisis cabinet.
In September 2003 European Union foreign ministers said that the bloc will declare all wings of Hamas a terrorist organization. Not a word of Isareli´s terrorism.
In September 2003 Israeli leaders´ visit to India was cutted because of new violences in Israel and Palestine.
Israel plans to expel Yasser Arafat. Expelling of the president who is highly respected among vast majority of Palestinians and who has high international status would be a mistake which is difficult to be thought to be carried out even by Zionists. Their reputation in the world is bad enough already now.
In September 2003 French and Russian foreign ministers urged in the UN security council international intervention in order to save Yasser Arafat´s position and in order to promote processes towards ceasefire or peace.
Septemebr 2003. Israel official: killing Arafat an option. For how long time the world will tolerate Zionist criminalis?
In September 2003 the U.N. Security Council intended to publish a resolution in order to guarantee Yasser Arafat´s security. The U.S. vetoed the resolution down. However, General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding Israel not deport or threaten the safety of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in a vote of 133:4 with 15 abstentions.
September 22nd, 2003. Qurei´s intention as Prime Minister is to try to proceed to truce. Hamas, Jihad confirmed they will not join his cabinet.
In September 2003 27 Israeli pilots denied to participate attcks on Palestinean areas. This is not a new phenomena. Army officers´ denials have day by day more support among Israeli citizens. Growing of internal opposition in Israel may in long run form a threat of splitting up the state of Israel.
September 26th, 2003. President Yasser Arafat exressed his high appreciation and gratitude for the great al Fateh Revolution and its Leader Colonel Muammar al Qathafi, in view of the solid stances towards the Palestinian cause and the continued support for the Palestinian people in their just cause to regain their territories and establish their state.
A new government was formed in Palestine in the end of September 2003. Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah group, vowed on Sunday to continue the armed struggle against the Israeli occupation of Palestine and criticised the formation of a new Palestinian government.
In the turn of September - October 2003, encouraged by the US State Department's decision not to plan immediate reductions in loan guarantees Israel continued building the apartheid-wall around Palestinian areas.
In early October Hamas saod that the wall does not prevent strikes in Israel. Immediately after their statement a bomb killed 19 people in Haifa.
In October 2003 Israel raided Syria to retaliate the Haifa suicide bombing. However, Israel has in fact waited for an appropriate pretext and occasion to attack Syria.The conflict is now an inter-state war. This type of war escalation was anticitaped when the contemporaty intifada began and Israel choiced the way of war. On the background of this process is the US-led imperialism. Washington blocked a United Nations Security Council condemnation of the Israeli airstrike on Syria. Hence USA supports Israeli aggressions and promotes war.
The meaning of the Israeli heavy strikes on Syria and in Gaza area was to weaken Palestinians´ fight and to break their front. No success. Qurai'e said he won't risk civil war for Israel's sake.
In October 2003 the United Sates House of Representatives International Relations Committee approved overwhelmingly "weapons sanctions and other penalties on Syria". These "sanctions" may include right granted by the U.S. for Israel to attack Arab states.
In October 2003 Isarel spoke of assembling nukes in submarines.
The Palestine National Authority (PNA) accused the United States of encouraging Israel to slaughter Palestinian civilians as Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on October 12th, 2003 redeployed around the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah and the adjacent refugee camp of Yubna, following a two day invasion during which seven Palestinians were killed, and at least 70 wounded, mostly civilians, 120 houses demolished and more than 1,000 refugees made homeless according to UNRWA.
In the contemporary situation the PNA sees the armed struggle the only option.
The United States vetoed a Palestinian-drafted U.N. Security Council resolution seeking to bar Israel from extending a security fence deep into the West Bank.
U.S. "security guard" troops were killed at Gaza strip on Octobet 15th, 2003, Of course, the U.S. revenged on October 16th.
New heavy Israeli raids in Palestine on October 20th, 2003. What is the big idea? The situation gets still more worse if ever possibe.
October 23rd, 2003, In a decision seen as a sharp blow to Israel, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution demanding the Jewish State to "stop and reverse" the construction of the unilateral separation wall it is building on Palestinian land. The resolution, which demands that Israel halt construction of the wall and remove existing stretches, was passed when 144 of 191 nations voted in favor, four against, including the US and Israel, and twelve abstentions. Israel builds the barrier despite UN Demands.
On October 24th, 2003 joint Palestinian attack killed three Israeli troops at the Gaza strip. Four Palestinians were killed in this war operation.
In early November 2003 president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak visited Syria for talks on Israeli threats.
November 2nd. 2003. Hundred thousand Israeli people demonstrated in Tel Aviv against Sharon´s politics, lack of democratic rights and against weakening of living circumstances.
In November 2003 Yasser Arafat formed new Palestinian Qurei cabinet - against Sharons´ will. This cabinet gets redy for contacts with Israel and USA. Are there constructive results to be expected...? Very unlikely.
In November 2003 Ariel Sharon visited the Kremlin in order to flatter Vladimir Putin to give support for Israel´s politics. Putin´s answer was clear and simple: NEVER.
On November 9th, 2003 the Isareli government on decided to go ahead with a German-mediated prisoner swap with the Lebanese resistance group, Hizbullah. The cabinet held a lengthy discussion on the matter after which the decision was passed by a slim majority. According to the deal, the Isareli regime is expected to release 20 Lebanese prisoners and some 400 Palestinian detainees in exchange for the release from Hizbullah custody of an Israeli spymaster and several Israeli soldiers.
On November 18th, 2003 the EU warned Israel not to carry out military actions at Gaza and West Bank. At the same time the U.S. told Israel not to build new settlements. Empty words from both sides.
In November 2003 Qurei´s cabinet with Yasser Arafat´s special co-operation looked for some real peace meadiator together with Egyptian authorities.
An alteranive unofficial plan for peace war published in Geneve in Novemeber 2003. No interest on it neither on Isareli nor Palestinian side.
In early December 2003 Qurei threatened to end peace talks. As far as Sharon does not give up building the apartheid wall and new settlements there is no basis for further talks.
December 7th, 2003. Talks among Palestinian factions aimed at a cease-fire to end three years of violence ended in failure in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
Ariel Sharon´s ultimatum in December 2003 means that he wants the Palestinian Authority to launch war on Palestinian resistance organizations, i.e. Palestinian civil war. If they don't do that, then he is going to annex about half of the West Bank.
In the turn of 2003/2004 the spiral of violence in Israel/Palestine continued and even accelarated. On the background there is quite obviusly the U.S. fear of peace. World capitalism needs war. The most disgusting ideological form of world capitalism is quite obviously political Zionism which has its origin in USA. The U.S. Zionism has a special branch in Israel. Political Zionism pretends to be a Jewish liberation movement. However, Zionism does not hesitate to offer also Jews while it murders Palestinians and other human beings.
In the early 2004 the genocide in Palestine continued with still more horrible efficiency. The western media is silent.
The discussion in 2004 about forming Israel-Palestine state union or two separate sates is not very useful. Without peace - which seems permanently to be an impossibility - neither of these alternatives are real possibilities.
On January 28th, 2004 Israeli Occupation Forces murdered ten people at the Gaza strip.
On Janury 29th, 2004 a suicide bomber blew up a bus in central Jerusalem, killing at least 10 people, as a prisoner exchange between Israel and the Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah got underway.
In the early February 2004 Ariel Sharon said he will dismantle Jewish settlements at the Gaza strip. Sharon lost his popularity among Israelis immediately. For Palestinians this strange aim means mostly new doubts and thearts. The fears came true immediately. On February 11th - 12th 2004 the IOF murdered tens of Palestinians in Gaza.
The "trial" agaist the wall in February 2004 is a farce. It might have some signifigance, if Israel were a country of justice. But it is not such a state.
Februray 18th, 2004. The Palestine National Authority (PNA) warned that the Israeli occupation authorities are threatening with mass transfer a quarter of a million Palestinians by unilaterally and abruptly refusing the travel of Palestinian nationals who hold Jordanian passports across international crossing points.
February 22nd, 2004. Two days before a World Court hearing on the legality of Israel's West Bank barrier, the Jewish state said it would start tearing down part of it.
Whatever might be the result of the Hague process be, it hardly changes Israeli violent politics. Isarel has always ignored international rules and agreements.
Israeli occupation forces committed bank robberies in Palestine on February 25th 2004. Two people were killed in clashes. After this aggression Israel froze Pelastinian bank accounts.
According to general press information in March 2004 Jewish settlements in occupied areas rose 35% in 2003.
Israel´s isolation and blockade politics has caused serious damages to occupied Palestina´s agriculture and economy.
On March 7th, 2004 Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre. In one of the bloodiest incursions in recent memory, Israeli soldiers killed 14 Palestinians including three young boys in early morning raids in the Gaza Strip. Thirteen of the 14 victims of the operation at the Nusseirat and neighboring Bureij refugee camps were buried in a mass ceremony in a nearby cemetery in the afternoon. In March 2004 Israel started furious killings in Palestine. This process could be foreseen when Israeli government asked Jewish people at the settlements to leave the Gaza area.
March 22nd, 2004. Palestinian resistance factions declared Monday, March 22, an "open" war against the Israeli occupation following the assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, vowing to target Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and key officials of his government.
This Israeli crime against the Palestinian spiritual leader was condemned widely all around the world. USA pretended to condemn the murder but used its veto on handling of the issue in the U.N. Hence Washington and Tel Aviv committed a crude political murder in mutual undurestanding.
April 1st, 2004. The United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees stopped distributing food in the Gaza Strip because of tightened Israeli restrictions at the only commercial crossing between Gaza and Israel.
April 7th, 2004. It seemed possible that Israel would withdraw from Gaza after having destroyed the area. However, according to public reports, Israel robs Arab Negev lands for Gaza settlers.
April 14th, 2004. The government of Israel made a "peace proposal" supported by the U.S. Because of this support Palestinians rejected that proposal right away. Among other things, USA does not any more demand Israel to withdraw to the borders of 1967.

May 6th, 2004. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution yesterday confirming the status of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza, including East Jerusalem, as occupied territories. It also confirmed that the Israeli government cannot represent these territories as a result of its military occupation of these territories, since 1967.

On May 19th, 2004 Israel killed tens of peceful demonstrators at Rafah, Gaza Strip.

According to Israeli sources, "a wall eight meters high with gates, surveillance and tracking equipment that would be built to separate the Dahiet Al Barid and Al Ram in East Jerusalem." This wall would also isolate the inhabitants of both these suburbs, who are about 80,000 citizens.
June 20th, 2004. Prime Minister, Ahmad Qurei', said that the idea to initiate temporary solutions was opposed by the Palestinians and called the US administration to accelerate establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, if it wanted stability in the region.
In the end of June 2004 Egypt offered its help in order to promote peace process. Both Palestinians and Israel rejected Egypt´s efforts. There are no temporary solutions.
At the same there was a meeting was held In Haifa with Palestinians, Israeli people and foreign "experts". However, there will be no success in any discussions before the principal issue, unjustice against Palestinias is confessed.
In the turn of June-July 2004 Palestine fighters seemed to operate in a still more professional way. An Israeli military unit was attacked succesfully on June 28th. No attacks for long against Israeli civil targets.
July 2nd, 2004. The Israeli Supreme Court acknowledged that the Israeli occupation Land-Grab Apartheid Wall separates Palestinians from their lands, divides Palestinian neighborhoods, and annexes Palestinian lands to Israel. It's a political move to influence the decision of the International Court of Justice, it only required redrawing the wall in 30 kilometers out of the 600 kilometers. Palestinian Prime Minister, Qurei, said the whole Wall should be removed.
July 9th, 2004. The Hague. The highest UN court ruled that Israel's planned 685-kilometre-long barrier in the West Bank violates international law andordered Israel to pay reparations to Palestinians whose land had been seized. According to the court the wall should be torn down. Israel does not respect even this international decision.
On July 11th, 2004 an Israeli soldier and several civil people were killed in a blast in Tel Aviv. Yassir Arafat condemned the attack and said that he thinks Israel itself arranged that incident for provocatory purposes. Many quarters in the world share his opinion. Timing of the attack is extremely unlogical for a real suicide attack but very logical for an Israeli provocation.
July 15th, 2004. The top UN envoy to the Middle East is no longer welcome in the Palestinian territories after he harshly criticized veteran leader Yasser Arafat, a senior adviser to the Palestinian president said.

August 4th, 2004. Isarel stormed at the Gaza strip again. Meanwhile the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which cares for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, said it was pulling out 19 staff, in addition to 20 ordered out last month, leaving only nine foreign workers in the territory.
In August 2004 even the U.S. tried to calm down Sahron´s messing at Palestinean areas. No affect. Mass murderings continue. New unlegal settlements are established.
August 15th, 2004. Close to 1,600 Palestinian prisoners began a mass hunger strike to protest conditions in Israeli jails. The action comes despite a warning from Israeli Public Security Minister Tzahi Hanegbi that the prisoners could "starve to death" before he agreed to ease restrictions. Another 7,500 remaining Palestinian prisoners were expected to join the hunger strike by the end of the week. The prisoners are being held in Israeli jails, a large tent camp in the Negev desert, and at military bases in the West Bank where there have been complaints of poor sanitary conditions.
August 21st, 2004. The Bush administration changed policy allowing growth of Israeli illegal settlements in the Palestinian occupied territories.
In the end of August 2004 Palestinians´s hunger strike in Israeli prisons continued. Some 4000 people were in death danger. Israel ignored the situation. In September the hunger strike seemed to end after Israel gave up a bit.
In September 2004 a new serial of attacks and counterattacks was born in Israel and Palestine.
In the turn of September - October 2004 the Israeli slaughterings of Palestine people got so heavy forms that Palestinians even asked for U.S. to help. Obvioulsly even Palestinians do not understand that the very origin of the crisis is based on U.S. Zionists´ strategic goals and interests in Middle East. The plans were obvioulsy ready as early as 1948 or maybe even earlier.
On October 3rd, 2004 Israel launched a new mass killing operation after Hamases rockets had - obviously accidentally - killed two Israeli children. For Israel this incident was nothing but an excellent pretext to continue mass murder in Palestine.
October 4th, 2004. As Israeli troops pressed their offensive home in the Gaza Strip that has killed almost 80 Palestinians, demolished hundreds of homes, bulldozed large tracts of agricultural land and destroyed infrastructure such as sewage systems thereby contaminating drinking water supplies, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning the attack.
In October 2004 Zionists killed in cold blood tens of Palestinean children. Israeli soldiers are in Palestine absolutely indifferent on human lives.
November 2004. Illness and death of Yassir Arafat (murder?) hardly causes big change in the ongoing war. It is possible that the most radical Palestinian groups will have more freedom for their further activities.
November 11th, 2004. The speaker of the Palestinian National Council, Ruhi Fatuh, was sworn in today before the legislative council as a transitional president of the Palestinian Authority for sixty days according to the Palestinian constitution.

In December 2004 the killing continued. Israel sendt clear message it won't give peace a chance.
In the end of 2004 Palestinians got ready for electing a new president.
On December 22nd 2004 the British PM Tony Blair visited Ramallah. He insulted Palestinians by refusing to set a wreath at Yasser Arafats tomb. Additionally, referring to his speeches he visited Palestine only as an errand boy of Bush and Sharon. Many Palestinian officials said they were surprised that Blair's suggestion of a "peace" conference had been so quickly downgraded to a simple one-sided meeting, and accused him of capitulating to threats from Sharon.
In the local elections in Palestine in the end of 2004 especially the radical Hamas made progress. However, in most of the municipilities the moderate Al-Fatah still got the majority of votes.
In the turn of 2004/2005 it was quite clear that in spite of Palestinean new government´s moderate line Isarel continued its unscrupulous attacks. Hence Israel proved once more that it really does not want peace.
January 5th, 2005. Palestinian rockets slammed into an Israeli Army base in a new strike launched from the Gaza Strip injuring many soldiers.
On January 7th- 8th, 2005 Israel did its utmost to disturb Palestinean presidential elections. One candidate was detained, the 7000 Palestinean political prisoners in Israeli prisons were not allowed to vote, internal roads and traffic connections were blocked as usual etc.
PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas won Palestinian presidential election. Abbas as president woke at first hope for a new peace process but Israel´s attack to Gaza stripe on January 12th, 2005 ruined that hope immediately. The Zionist raids were repeated almost daily later in January.
February 2005. Mahmoud Abbas prepared for summit with Ariel Sharon´s regime. Not much can be expected. The summit will obviously take place on February 8th. Abbases support among Palestinians is in fact some 28 per cent. Additionally, as usual, Israel will for sure not accept any kind of Palestinean demands.
In early February 2005 truce was made. During the "truce" Israel committed terrorist attacks against Palestinians as usual.
Cease-fire agreement was signed on February 8th, 2005.

February 2005. Israel told it will continue establishing of new unlegal settlements. PNA: "Israel cannot have both settlements and peace."
February 2005. Israel broke the cease-fire almost daily by arbitrary killings.
February 2005. U.S. State minister plans for Israeli-Palestinean peace talks in Washington. The idea is the same as it was in Camp David: Denying the basic unjust against Palestineans based on incidents in 1948 and borders of 1967. Hence those talks even if they might succeed would lead to new conflicts sooner or later.
In February 2005 Israel decided to evacuate settlements fromt Gaza strip. This act does not mean less illegal settlements In Palestine. Settlements´ people will be transferred mostly to Jerusalem, West Bank and Negev.
The suicide attack in Tel Aviv on February 25th, 2005 was a signal to the new Palestinean government that it does not have confidence.
In the end of February and in the beginning of March the cease-fire seemed to break. Israeli daily agressions against Palestinians and counterattacks continued.
In the turn of February - March 2005 there were serious talks between Israel and the U.S. of Israel´s joining to NATO. In case this vision comes true it means that in future also European NATO-countries may participate subjugating Palestinians.
In the early March 2005 a tragic-comic "peace conference" was held in London. That conference rejected all Palestineans´ demands as it accepted by silence Israel´s breaking of cease-fire, building of the apartheid-wall and establishing of new unlegal settlements.
March 3rd, 2005. Israel cancelled social security for non-Jews.
In March 2005 the artificial truce seemed to collapse as expected. Israeli attacks continued. Israel does not want peace.
March 2005. After the landslide victory in local elections it became necessary for Hamas to participate also parliamentary elections Palestinean regime. No doubt Hamas will neither forgive Israeli truce violations nor accept any kind of Israeli suppressions.
April 2005. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel decided surprisingly that the Gaza settelements will not we demolished. Or... was that kind of a decision a surprise?
April 13th, 2005. The Palestine National Authority (PNA) accused US President George W. Bush of "legitimizing" Israeli settlement activity and of losing his role as honest peace broker after he reiterated his guarantees to the Israeli premier that Washington will not support implementing the "roadmap" peace plan until Palestinians fulfill their "security" obligations, will not support Israel's withdrawal to the 1967 borders and will support the annexation of illegal Israeli colonies to the Jewish state in a final settlement.
May 2005. Isarel sealed Jerusalem off. This insult against religious religious Islamic people may ruin even the remnants of any kind of the contemporary "peace process".
May 2005. Palestinean president Abbas visited Beijing. In China he said Hamas is welcome to government of Palestine.
June 2005. Meaningless talks between Abbas and Sharon.
July 2005. Attacks and counterattacks continued on both sides..
July 24th, 2005. Talks between Palestinian interior Nasser Yussef and Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz on next month's Gaza pullout "ended in failure", Yussef's office said. "The meeting ended in failure and had no results," the minister's spokesman. "We obtained no answers to our questions on the calendar or mechanism of withdrawal, nor on the future of the buildings and infrastructures of the settlements which are to be evacuated."
August 2005. Israel began to withdraw from the Gaza strip. However, other settlements have been end will be established on other areas in Palestine.

October - November 2005. Clashes between Zionists and Palestinians ruined the remnants of the "peace process" based on unjustice.
January 2006. Ariel Sharon was out of the scene. So what? No doubt he will be replaced by some other blood-thirsty Zionist lackey.
January 2006. In the Palestinian parliamentary elections the radical Hamas won, the traditional Fatah lost. Hence: Israel/USA and the EU have to accept their own definitions of democracy and to think their relations over with Hamas in future. Result of these elections was a heavy setback for Israeli/US imperialism.
March - April 2006. The possibly peace-directed result of Israeli parliamentary elections hardly had any affect on the prevailing deadlock. All the problems have been caused by Washington´s Zionists.
April 2006. The EU and the US issued a de facto economical blockade on Palestine because of Hamas vicotry. Here we have an excellent example of so called "western democracy". Instead, Russia promised aid to Palestine.
June 2006. President Abbases proposal to arrange a referendum in Palestine in order to form two independent countries at the Israeli-Palestine area was rejected both by Hamas and Israel. The deadlock continues.
In the turn of June - July 2006 IOC armored vehicles and tanks penetrated the Gaza strip. This operation ment obviously that Zionists do not aim to give even a square metre of the occupied land back to Palestinians but instead, to take back even those small areas earlier returned as a part of an international scam.
July 2006. Zionists´ penetration into Lebanon seemed to be a prelude for large regional war.
August 2006. The UNCS resolution on Lebanon seemed to be as reliable as the "road map" plan... Let us see... Anyway, Israel lost the war, Hezbollah won.
September - November 2006. Israel continued its reckless flights over Lebanon and regular penetrations into Gaza strip and West Bank.
November 2006. Palestine accused the U.S. for the horrible Beit Hanoun massacre committed in Gaza by the Israeli war machine. And further... this issue was handled in the UNSC and, of course, the U.S. prevented by its veto any kind of condemnation of Israel.
December 2006. Existence of Israeli nukes was confirmed by U.S. Defence Ministry. The amount of spearheads is obvioulsy some 600.
January - February 2007. Isareli atrocities continued in Palestine.
January - February 2007. Hamas and Fateh fighted among themselves as it was planned by western powers´ economic sanctions.
February 2007. Hamas and Fatah made an agreement for a united cabinet.
April 2007. Hamas ended the truce by an attack against Israeli military targets.
May - June 2007. Clashes continued on both sides. Palestinian people suffered especially because of full ignorance of the EU and other western countries.
June 2007. Serious clashes in Palestine again between Hamas and Fatah exactly like Tel Aviv, Washington and Brussels had hoped, according to the original manuscript. Outsiders forced to Palestine a new government against the results of parliamentary elections.
July - October 2007. No improvement. Hamas was forced to withdraw a bit in circumstances of dirty blackmailing.
November 2007. Hamas-led legal Palestinian Parliament kept convening in spite half of them being in Israeli prisons.
November 2007. "Mid-East peace talks" in USA without Hamas were nothing but a farce.
January 2008. General Secretary of Arab League demanded the U.N. to interevene to Gaza strip in order to stop Israeli violent crimes.
January 2008. President Bush visited Israel in order to disseminate lies about good will of U.S. politics based on violence, occupations and interests of arms industry.

May 2008. A Palestinean Peoples Party delegation visited Cuba.
December 2008. A Zionist massacre of 310 Palestinians in Gaza strip.
January 2009. Zionist ground attack with more slaughterings. No progress in any problem because the the original and honest election victory of Hamas was still rejected by Israel and by the western powers. By foreign pressure ceasefire came in force on January 18th, 2009, but for how long time?
May 2009. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Hamas leader Khaled Mishaal in Damascus. Inter-Palestinian and Palestine-Russia dialogues continue.
No essential new news up to summer 2009. Israeli occupation and subjugation of Palestine continued.
June 2009. U.S. President Barack Obama promised Palestinean people an independent state. Well, good. Let us see... if this the real intention, it were really the historical very first time when the U.S. promises mean whan they say. And, as we saw, if there were any honest intention at all, Tel Aviv ruined it by impossible conditions: Palestine would not have own foreign or defense politics, Jerusalem would belong only to the "Jewish State" and so forth...
July 2009. Russia and Jordania proposed for new peace talks.
October 2009. A delegation of Communist Party of Israel visited Cuba.
KOMINFORM
