Palestinian media reported on Monday that Israeli authorities halted the water flow to 10 villages located northwest of al-Quds (Jerusalem). According to reports, local Israeli officials had already imposed restrictions on the amount of water pumped to these villages. Reports also indicated that residents were living on very small amounts of water even before the total halt of water flow. Locals also said that hundreds of Palestinian students are also suffering from the lack of water in their schools. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1364950580 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1361551828 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1361210398 Feb. 17, 2013 Tehran looking to disrupt 'land-for-peace' talks TEL AVIV – There is immediate information that the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad terrorist organization may attempt to disrupt President Obama’s visit here next month with attacks aimed at derailing Israeli-Palestinian talks, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.

The combination of longer-range and far deadlier rockets in the hands of more radicalized Palestinians, the arrival in Gaza and Sinai from North Africa of other militants pressuring Hamas to fight more, and the growing tide of anti-Israel fury in a region where authoritarian rulers have been replaced by Islamists means that Israel is engaging in this conflict with a different set of challenges. The Middle East of 2012 is not what it was in late 2008, the last time Israel mounted a military invasion to reduce the rocket threat from Gaza. Many analysts and diplomats outside Israel say the country today needs a different approach to Hamas and the Palestinians based more on acknowledging historic grievances and shifting alliances. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1353175060 Nov. 16, 202 Source says Islamic regime has 'armed' terrorist groups with chemicals As the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas faction is escalating and rockets are hitting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Iran announced Friday that its missiles were being used against the Jewish state. Rockets hit Tel Aviv Thursday for the first time since the 1991 Persian Gulf War when Iraqi scuds threatened the city. On Friday, Jerusalem also came under rocket fire from Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. According to a source in the Revolutionary Guards intelligence division, Iran has large stockpiles of chemical and microbial weapons and it has armed the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah with them. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1353174981 Nov. 17, 2012 “The diminishment of the national pride/consciousness is a very grave sign/sin of an evolving and looming (religious) extremism in the Arab-Israeli conflict”   What is taking place right now in Gaza, which is being unwittingly blown out of proportion, has been waited for by all the parties involved in the conflict. I don’t think the Israelis meant to turn this usual routine of aggression into an all-out confrontation with the Palestinians, when the current Israeli government and its prime-minister have a new term election coming up around the corner, but new threats coming sraight from Sinai made them change their mind. Tel Aviv only wanted to test the waters of the post-Arab spring and to find out if Israel, under the new political evolving scene in the Arab world, could carry on with the old business as usual. And I believe that the politicians in Gaza have been waiting for a chance for a real escalation with Israel to also find out how the new leaderships in the neighboring Arab countries will react, mainly Egypt. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1353169650 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1353083977 Nov. 15, 2012 INTRODUCTION/COMMENT Of course, and to have considered otherwise, shows the level of naive-ness on the part of Hamas. The Palestinians know who the Jew is, and so do the other middle eastern countries, so why would they have ever bothered discussing peace with them? The Jew will never make peace with any other people, no more than a Tiger would be expected to stop hunting in the wild for their food. The Jew only knows one way of existing, and that is the life of a parasite, attaching themselves to every other nationality and culture they come into contact with; it has always been so, in unceasing fashion. The Jew does have the superior intellect for creating masterful subterfuge, deception, and feigning all suspicion away from themselves. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/war/israel_palestine_war/news.php?q=1353081894
