Israeli troops assault citizens during wide raid on Silwan homes
21-08-2011,13:59
Al Qassam website- Occupied Jerusalem- A large number of Israeli troops on Saturday stormed Silwan district, south of the Aqsa Mosque, violently breaking into homes, pointing their weapons at residents and assaulting some young men.
An official source from Silwan defense committee said today that the invading Israeli force included a number of armored military and police vehicles boarded by dozens of armed troops and policemen.
The police chief in occupied Jerusalem and a number of senior officers were among the raiding force. Palestinian prisoner Ishak Arafah was also seen shackled from his legs and handcuffed while being escorted by soldiers.
The source added that the house of prisoner Arafah was among many houses raided by the troops who forced many families to evacuate their houses. The troops used wild dogs and electronic devices during their sweep.
A Palestinian young man called Nezal Aqel was kidnapped this morning by Israeli troops from outside his home in Assammar area between the neighborhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Shuafat, according to local sources.
Eyewitnesses reported that Aqel was standing outside his home along with some friends when Israeli troops aboard a military car arrived in and ordered them provocatively to show their IDs and without reason they embarked on beating and cursing them before some neighbors intervened and saved the young men from the hands of the soldiers.
They added that the troops left the area, but after a while a female soldier escorted by male troops appeared and without prior notice sprayed Aqel's face with pepper spray before taking him handcuffed to an unknown destination.
The mother of the young man reportedly lost her consciousness after what she saw happening to her son and was taken to hospital.
In Al-Khalil city, a 16-year-old called Saleh Shehadeh was also kidnapped by Israeli troops on the same day from his home in Abu Sunaina neighborhood.
Four other Palestinian young men were kidnapped yesterday morning by Israeli security troops in the Old City of Jerusalem on allegation of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers.
Hamas: No ceasefire until Israel stops offensive
21-08-2011,13:29
Al Qassam website- Gaza- Senior Hamas official Ahmad Bahar said Saturday that there would be no ceasefire until Israel stopped its offensive on the Palestinian people.
"Any talk about ceasefire between resistance factions and the Israeli occupation must be preceded by halting the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people," Bahar said in a statement.
The first deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council said the Palestinian people and their resistance were entitled to self-defense by any accessible means.
"The Israeli occupation fiercely attacks Gaza mistakenly believing that it is the weakest link in the current equation," he said.
Israel's reliance on "illusionary arrogance and military might" was a miscalculation, he added, warning that the resistance would "teach the enemy unforgettable lessons, and remind them that deterrence is symmetrical."
"The Palestinian people have not triggered the escalation which Israeli occupation is trying to use to achieve exposed internal and external goals."

UK govt openly backs Zionist funded EDL
Sun Aug 21, 2011 8:59AM GMT
Analysts have voiced their concerns over British government's miscarriage of justice, sentencing a boy for stealing a bottle of water to six months imprisonment, but gave away an EDL thug attacking a mosque with £ 200.
British government has taken one more step in favor of Zionist funded English Defence League (EDL) by passing very light sentences on its members who overtly shouted “we'll burn your mosques.”
During last week's massive unrests across England, thousands of people were arrested and appeared in courts and received harsh sentences even on minor crimes, since the cabinet ministers reportedly violated the judiciary's independence.
Following the widespread unrests in England, two men were sentenced to four years in prison for inciting riots on Facebook and one man was sentenced to 18 months for having a stolen TV in his car.
Claiming to be independent, UK Judiciary system has been imposing tough sentences against protesters to prevent them from further anti-government demonstrations in the country.
Frank Fernie, a 20-year-old student at York College, has been given a 12-month sentence for throwing two placard sticks at police in Piccadilly on the anti-cuts strikes on March 26.
Charlie Gilmour, son of the Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, recieved 16 months for hanging off a flag at the cenotaph, sitting on a car and throwing a bin at a convoy of cars taking Prince Charles to the theatre during a student protest last year.
However, Andrew Ossit, the supporter of the extreme right-wing group, appeared at Calderdale Magistrates' Court for an act of religious aggravation and got away with a £100 fine along with £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
Several British unions and activists have many times expressed their surprise over the support government is giving to the anti-Islam group, and urged Prime Minister to ban the EDL rallies across Britain because violence erupted in their protests.
Analysts also insisted that David Cameron has obviously failed to notice that Norway terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, who caused deaths and injuries to many Norwegian people, confirmed having links with EDL leaders.
Since the formation of racist group EDL in 2009, UK leading unions have accused the government of failing to clamp down on extreme, right wing, and fundamentalist group that staged several anti-Muslim demonstrations shouting against spread of Islam and Muslim communities in Britain.

He was transported to a local hospital, medical sources said, describing his injuries as minor.
Two others in the Al-Shaja’iyya district of Gaza were injured after being fired at by a reconnaissance plane hovering over the area.
