Shalom Dear Ayse
You may not remember that the breaking of the tadya in December was to stop Hamas from completing a tunnel into Israel, like the one that was used to kidnappe Gilad Shalit.
Was building that tunnel, an agressive action, within the tadya agreement? Was continued smuggeling of arms through the Sinai tunnels fulfilling the agreement?
Dr. Eyad El-Sarraj, is a psychiatrist, founder and president of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program and a commissioner of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
In an article in the international press he describes how a leader of Hamas predicted exactly what was happening before the December attack.
In other words, the Hamas leadership knew what they were doing. They knew that Israel would attack in response to the rocket fire, yet they continued. In order to score points and increase their popularity as being the "resistance".
According to another interview with Hamas leaders; Hamas was in competition with Hizbollah over which org. was the greater in "resistance". Each wanting to prove to the parent, Iran that they were more worthy. Each trying to set a record in how long they could hold off the Israeli army.
On these concerns are dug the graves of Gaza.

many words, but no answer - it is so easy ... just watch the news
Ending the blockade for food and medical supplies to the gaza strip IDF fulfilled almost all points of the ceasefire agreement, then bombing some innocent people in Decembre thus provoking rocket reaction
real background was the chauvinist election calcule of KADIMA and Barak to win votes by showing a strong hand
every parliament seat coverde with 100 dead Arabs....

today in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas, which has long been promoting cruelty within and outside the Gaza Strip, where they only act with intelligence in its history, became a political party, only to give legitimacy to their terrorism practiced daily the streets of Gaza, killed, persecuted, tortured and destroyed all "enemies" of Fatah, the moderate party, which is now represented by Mahmoud Abbas incapable.

Gentlemen, how can a terrorist group, saying the leader of the Palestinian people kill our brothers?

(My English is bad, I hope you understand)


Think about that before choosing a side in the conflict, but above all, choose the side of peace, tolerance and respect with all comers.

Friends,

My name is Achmed Assef, Palestinian and I live in Brazil today.

Since the conflict started again in the Middle East, not to speak of anything other than this unfortunate war that has been doing both victims on both sides.

I was born in Palestine, a country that officially does not exist yet and when the situation became unbearable for my family, we had a happy and holy invitation of a friend of my parents to come to Brazil, and since my 5 years of age, live in this beautiful country warmth.

When I say that the situation in Palestine has become untenable, I am referring to the numerous conflicts with the army of Israel or the religious Jews who kept their homes beautiful in Palestinian territory, and that today these places were taken by force to terrorists, but a unsustainability caused by the "rulers" Palestinians in all those years.

For who is in Brazil or anywhere else in the world, the security of your home and your neighborhood will not ever imagine what living in Gaza. Just to remember my brief childhood in cities where I lived, squeeze me in the heart and desire to cry, but no one who is in the comfort of their homes also received thousands of information, photos and news of the current conflict can also imagine what it is feel betrayed by those who call Palestinian leaders.

The leaders never wanted a Palestinian state. And I can say that in high and good tone because it is a fact. If you wanted to have created before 1948, did not exist when the State of Israel, they want to have done well in 48, when the UN decided to create 2 states, but our great leaders preferred to encourage the people to fight against violence Jews in the place to lobbying for a viable Palestinian state.

Also did not want the Palestinian leaders when the territory, called "occupied by Israel" and who are now in their great majority in our area, creating a Palestinian state. What then of the most recent escalation of violence, when the second intifada was caused by the great leader in 2000 that Arafat rejected the peace agreement the best of all time proposed by the Israeli premier Ehud Barak and once again urged the Palestinian people to violence and brutality by men-pump, while the family of Mr. Arafat lived with benefits, stewardship and wealth in Paris, all the result of foreign donations worth but that never came to the Palestinian people suffered.

Instead of buying food, water, medicine and provide a decent life and good for the Palestinian people, our leaders chose the path of violence, brutality and stupidity of promoting hatred and discrimination against Jewish people, who are not angels, demons are not as our leaders preach.

The same children who die innocence today in the lap of their mothers, are receiving the same education and the creation military early to hate Israel and the Jewish people, knowing shooting with heavy weapons with less than 5 years old and still receive the brainwashing to become martyrs blowing themselves to cause even more victims on the other side.

The Palestinian leaders do not have any humanitarian feeling as if waiting for a population tired of suffering and calejada. because if they do not send their relatives to the suicide and their children, while these cowardly murderers are hiding in other countries or even using human shields in the civilian population, as we see today in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas, which has long been promoting cruelty within and outside of Gaza, where in his only act intelligently in history, became a political party only to give legitimacy to their terrorism practiced daily on the streets of Gaza, killed, persecuted, tortured and annihilated all "enemies" of Fatah, the party moderate who is now represented by Mahmoud Abbas incapable.

Gentlemen, how can a terrorist group, saying it is leader of the Palestinian people kill our brothers? How to understand that they are not defending our people, but their ideals that do not reflect the opinion of the majority of my Palestinian people? Killing Palestinians only because they do not agree with their actions and ideas are archaic and foremost terrorist. On the West Bank to Fatah and are not taking care, served as the basis for further acts of violence from the terrorists of Hamas.

You can argue that the terrorist acts of Hamas and social practice of solidarity, but do not believe everything they see in the media, much less everything they hear. So you can understand, do an analogy with the traffickers in Rio de Janeiro, it is legitimate what they do? Entice innocent children for drug trafficking, placing heavy weapons in their hands? I believe that not even that traffickers promote social acts and acts solidarity with the residents of the hills where they are housed. Continue disregarding the rights of children grow up healthy with education and not for war, as the terrorists of Hamas are today.

Brazilian friends that both respect and I both well, I make an appeal to Palestinian and Muslim, but above all as a human being not more agüenta see the ignorance and lack of knowledge by many people in this beautiful Brazil:

Stop attacking Israel, stop attacking the Jews and also stop the Palestinian people feel that it is only for terrorists. has many good, innocent and do not want to conflict with the Israelis and not the hate, and not hate the Americans.

Many people there including my family is tired of so much pain and suffering and we know we should have a peaceful coexistence with Israel, after all, is Israel that is our water, our food, our work and our money.

Israel has offered military aid even knew? When there was agreement with the Palestinian Authority in the government of Arafat, the Israeli police trained many of our men who did not want involvement in the conflict so that they could work on the order of our cities. Israel offered training to its supposed enemies, including with weapons so that we had our own security.

Terrorists who tried and failed to explode it in the cities of Israel, received medical care in Israeli hospitals! and many of the schools in Israel to promote equal education students with Palestinians and Jews, living in perfect harmony and receive sound education and to the next. Unlike what happens in Gaza for example.

If our leaders were not so dumb and stupid, our people would not have been more to complain, because in Israel are the greatest opportunities for a Palestinian living in Gaza or West Bank and who has a minimum of intelligence knows that there will not ever sweep Israel from the map or exterminate all Jews, as some leaders herald maniacs on our side.

Ganharíamos as if we were on the side of Israel and the Jews? Why here in Brazil, the coexistence between the two peoples has always been a source of pride and when we get everything in society?

My uncle was seen at work in Israel. Up early every day and would work in Israel and returned at night to his home in Gaza. When Hamas took power and the force began its daily attacks on Israeli cities, my uncle lost his job and the border was closed. The fault is in Israel? from my uncle who never hated the Jews? No, blame the terrorists of Hamas. My uncle today still not hating the Israelis or Jews. He lives in Syria, where the situation is not the best but there is no terrorist groups like Hamas or Hezballah that only end up with the lives of citizens of good.

The Palestinian people were expelled from different countries called "friends of the Palestinians", including Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Libya. Egypt closes its border with Gaza because they do not want us there, including the treaty of peace with Israel, the return of Sinai to Egypt, was offered by Israel to return Gaza and the Egyptians also did not want to call because of land without law and the worst place in the world to live.

Why are countries with a strong and huge territory as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran and others are not so big but very rich, as Kweit, United Arab Emirates or Qatar we receive with open arms? They prefer only finance terrorist attacks and have all your money to terrorists and Palestinian leaders who think the welfare of the population but only to enrich himself and encouraging hatred and intolerance?

So, my friends, write this message. I know that this letter will not do either of the two sides to stop the current conflict, much less change the thinking of leaders that now determine the direction of my Palestinian people, but they serve to make the Brazilian people think about and understand that we need not import a conflict that does not serve for nothing here and that all you really understand who are primarily responsible for widespread killing that takes place now in Gaza, I am happy.

Israel is not guilty, arguing it is irresponsible leaders of Palestinian terrorist attacks that day our neighbor with their homemade rockets to nothing after hiding behind women and children, putting all the blame on the Israelis, while those terrorists that are unfortunately too cowardly Palestinians if hiding in heavily populated areas to cause even more deaths and earn sensational photos in newspapers around the world.

The Palestinian people is not guilty, the Palestinian people, taking those terrorists who are minority or peace or the peaceful coexistence with Israel and Jews. Want to live a dignified life in their territory and calling him from home, without having to flee to another country like Brazil wonderful as I did, because Palestine is the best place to live in a Palestinian.

Think about that before choosing a side in the conflict, but above all, choose the side of peace, tolerance and respect with all comers.
Grato, Achmed Assef www.portugalnoticias.com
