Olmert: Israeli lives worth more than Palestinian ones
By Donald Macintyre in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip
Published: 23 June 2006
Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, expressed "deep regret" for
army operations that have killed 14 Palestinian civilians in Gaza in
just nine days but said the lives of Israeli citizens threatened by
Qassam attacks were "even more important".
The deaths in three separate missile attacks overshadowed Mr Olmert's
first meeting with the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, since
taking office, as grieving relatives gathered here to mourn the two
latest civilian victims, Fatima Ahmed, a 37-year-old pregnant mother of
two small children, and her brother Zakaria, 45.
The siblings were killed by an Israeli missile which had been launched
in the second bungled attempt to assassinate militants in less than 24
hours. The attack wounded 13 other members of the family, including six
children, and partly wrecked the house in which they had all been
concluding a celebratory meal in honour of Mr Ahmed, who had been on a
week-long visit from Saudi Arabia to see his 83-year-old mother.
A pile of fallen masonry and a gaping hole in the house's straw roof
were still visible yesterday at the house, about 20 metres from the
main Salahadin north-south Gaza road at the entry to Khan Yunis.
The Israeli Defence Forces say that the attack early on Wednesday
evening was aimed at a pick-up truck carrying members of militant
Palestinian Resistance Committees. Witnesses said a six-inch crater on
the other side of the road from the house was from a second missile.
The dead victim's sister-in-law, Amtiaz Ahmed, 47, described how she
had been in the kitchen preparing coffee and tea at the end of the meal
when the missile struck. Displaying a dozen shallow cuts on the back
and arms of her 15-month-old nephew, Ahmed Sufian Ahmed, which she said
were from shrapnel, Mrs Ahmed exclaimed: "Is he a terrorist? Does he
have a rocket-propelled grenade? It is the Zionists who are the
terrorists."
Three children were killed in an assassination attempt designed to curb
Qassam rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel on Tuesday.
Mr Olmert said last night in Caesarea: "I am deeply sorry for the
residents of Gaza, but the lives, security and well-being of the
residents of Sderot [the Israeli border town which has borne the brunt
of Qassam attacks] is even more important. I reject the attacks on the
IDF and its commanders. No one is more dedicated or more cautious, and
will continue to be so in the future."
Kofi Annan, the UN secretary general, this week called on Israel to
ensure its responses were "proportionate and do not put civilians at
grave risk ". Almost three times as many Palestinian civilians have
been killed in Gaza in the past nine days as Israeli civilians in
Sderot killed by Qassam rockets in the past five years.
Maj-Gen Eliezer Shakedi, the Israeli air force commander entrusted with
investigating how the civilian deaths occurred, told Army Radio: "We
have to make a great effort to try everything possible to avoid hitting
civilians." But he added: "We have to fight terrorism and we are doing
it... This is... the most accurate and the best possible option without
launching a broad and very significant [ground] operation."
The dead woman's husband, Nidal Wahba, 39, said the couple's
18-month-old son Khaled was in hospital after having emergency surgery
for injuries to his head. With heavy irony, he added: "He has been
shooting rockets at Amir Peretz", the Israeli Defence Minister who
lives in Sderot.
But Mr Wahba, who works for an aluminium fabrication firm, said he
wanted to see an end to violence on both sides. "We are against all
this. We don't want to teach our children violence. I wouldn't like to
see this happen to Israeli people."
The attack came amid signs of progress in talks between Fatah and Hamas
designed to reach an agreement on a two-state solution to the conflict
with Israel. Mr Wahba said: "There are people in Gaza who want to make
war against Israel and people who want to make peace. I want the
Palestinians to have one goal and that should be peace."
Of the missile strike which killed his wife and brother-in-law, he
added: " I hope it will be the last one."

Peccato che "is even more important" puo' essere letta come "sono
equamente molto importanti".

Dream on. Il suo e' il tipico 'cogitare ad inimicos', come alcuni qui: 
una vita di un palestinese non vale quella di un israeliano. Un pensiero 
di guerra.
La pace serve appunto per mettere sullo stesso piano la vita degli uni e 
degli altri, com'e' nella natura delle cose.
Non ci siamo ancora.

 Non ci siamo ancora.

A a scanso di equivoci preciso che ritengo anche ai lanciatori di razzi 
Qassam non gliene freghi niente di una vita israeliana.
Tuttavia e' la parte piu' forte che ha piu' margine per fare la  pace.  
E che dovrebbe avere il ritegno nei confronti della vita umana che 
compete ad una democrazia occidentale (stesso discorso per il 
comportamento delle truppe USA in Irak).
A questo proposito ho letto con interesse l'intervista di Massimo 
D'Alema da cui emerge che il governo italiano e quelli europei 
condannano i TK.
Sorpresa, mh?
Pero' suppongo che tu sia antigovernativo e che quindi non te ne freghi 
niente. Giusto?

 Mi sembra evidente.
Per un'individuo e uno stato razzista, certo.  Io preferisco la
radicale idea che la vita sia preziosa a prescindere dalla
nazionalita'.   Il fatto che il conflitto, dopo cinquant'anni e' una
diretta conseguenza del fatto che Israele considera questo assunto
"evidente".

 nazionalita'.  
Però non ti vedo pubblicare articoli contro chi continua ad attaccare vite 
civili, dopo il ritiro israeliano dalla striscia di Gaza. Cioè gli unici 
responsabili della ripresa delle ostilità e delle conseguenti vittime.
Strano. Sei imbecille, disinformato o disinformatore ®?
