"We continue to work during the few hours allotted under the humanitarian ceasefire. But its never enough time to meet the need as the crisis grows ever more desperate by the day for unimaginably poor families in Gaza. There is constant crying on the streets, people are tearing down their own houses, even those not shelled, to burn doors for heating and cooking and innocent people, including very young children, are injured and killed as the fighting continues."
"Perhaps the single largest mistake in the history of the Israeli governments long war on terrorism was its covert financing, cosseting, and arming of Hamas, the Islamic resistance movement. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon denounced Hamas as the deadliest terrorist group that we have ever had to face. But the Israeli government is reticent about admitting its role in creating this Frankenstein."
"Beginning in the 1970s Israel began pouring money into Islamic organizations —especially the Moslem Brotherhood—hoping that religion would distract the Palestinians from political activism and the radical left-wing Palestinian Liberation Organization. Hamas was a late offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood. Prior to 1988 Moslem Brotherhood activists had refrained from openly anti-Israel activities.
"It was no secret that Ms Rice had been on the phone with Washington and with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert all day. This was no run-of-the-mill vote, after all. The call that changed everything apparently came just as ministers and ambassadors were taking their seats in the council chamber. It was President George Bush for Ms Rice. Dont veto the resolution, he said, but dont vote for it either."
"Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, was forced to step back from voting in favor of the Gaza ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council after orders from Washington, diplomatic sources said yesterday."
"Israels destruction of Hamas and reoccupation of Gaza will not bring peace or security to Israel. It will merely obliterate the only internal organization with enough stature and authority in Gaza to maintain order. The Israeli assault, by destroying Hamas as a governing force, has opened a Pandoras box of ills. Life will become a nightmare for most Palestinians and, in the years ahead, for most Israelis."
"There have always been powerful Israeli leaders, since the inception of the state in 1948, who have called for the total physical removal of the Palestinians. The ethnic cleansing of some 800,000 Palestinians by Jewish militias in 1948 was, for them, only the start. But there were also a few Israeli leaders, including the assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Israel, Rabin believed, would have to make peace with the Palestinians and its Arab neighbors to survive."
"The cynicism of conveying propaganda as truth, as long as it is well sourced, is the poison of American journalism. If this is all journalism has become, if moral outrage, the courage to defy the powerful, the commitment to tell the truth and to give a voice to those who without us would have no voice, no longer matters, our journalism schools should focus exclusively on shorthand. It seems to be the skill most ardently coveted by most senior editors and news producers."
"Foreign journalists, barred from Gaza and unable to check the veracity of the Israeli version of the war, have abandoned their trade as reporters to become stenographers."
