 Jordan's King Abdullah has held secret talks with Israeli leaders in Amman and asked them to refrain from a large-scale incursion into the Gaza Strip, Israeli press reports said on Thursday. Israel Radio said an official source confirmed Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defence Minister Ehud Barak travelled secretly to Jordan where Abdullah told them he was concerned such violence could cause trouble for Jordan. He urged the Israeli leaders not to launch a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has said it will not tolerate rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Just because we are the aggressors, doesn't mean we lost our permanent status as victims. |

Yes they are our brothers and we care for them, but to say that they are victims and all they want is to live in peace is not very honest, or maybe ignorance, as unfortunately our Arab information sources tend to distort the facts of that dispute.
But the facts are that our brothers are constantly bombing their good hosts and neighbors.
In actual fact, they are lucky that Israel is tied to the Americans and that the Americans, especially now that they have an Arab president, don't let them hurt the Palestinians too much.
But I can tell you that many other leaders, would not have accepted the Palestinian terror attacks! |
