Embaixada de Israel
27 de dezembro de 2008
Os cidadãos israelenses estão sob ameaças de ataques partindo da Faixa de Gaza diariamente.
Somente esta semana, centenas de míssies e morteiros foram lançados contra alvos civis israelenses incluindo o lançamento de 80 mísseis em um único dia.
Até agora nós temos agido moderadamente. Mas hoje não há outra opção que não seja a operação militar. Nós precisamos proteger nossos cidadãos de ataques através de uma resposta militar contra o terror instaurado na Faixa de Gaza.
Esta é a resposta de nossos direitos básicos de auto-defesa.
Israel deixou Gaza em ordem para criar uma oportunidade de paz. Em retorno, o grupo terrorista Hamas tomou controle de Gaza e está usando seus cidadãos como cobertura, enquanto atacam deliberadamente comunidades israelenses e negam qualquer chance de paz.
Nós temos tentado de tudo para alcançar a calma sem usar a força. Concordamos com a trégua após a intervenção do Egito e ela foi violada pelo Hamas que continuou a atacar Israel, mantiveram preso o soldado israelense Gilad Shalit e continuaram construindo armamentos.
Israel continua a agir na prevenção de crises humanitárias e na diminuição dos danos causados aos civis Palestinos. Infelizmente o Hamas sinicamente abusa de sua população civil e os fazem sofrer com propósitos propagandistas. A responsabilidade dos danos causados aos civis é do Hamas.
O Hamas é uma organização terrorista, apoiada pelo Iran, que não representa os interesses legítimos do povo Palestino, mas uma agenda Islamica radical que insiste a negar a paz para as pessoas daquela região.
Enquanto confronta o Hamas, Israel continua a acreditar na solução de dois Estados e mantém seu comprometimento às negociações com a legitimidade da Autoridade Palestina no contexto do processo de paz, alcançado em Annapolis.
Israel espera o apoio e o entendimento da comunidade internacional enquanto confronta o terror e avança no interesse de todos aqueles que acreditam nas força de paz e co-existência para derminar os interesses daquela região.
MAS:
GAZA CITY: Israeli warplanes continued pounding the Gaza Strip yesterday as the casualty toll in the two-day offensive reached 296 killed and over 900 injured. At least 180 of the injured were in critical condition, Palestinian medical sources said.
Nota nº 724 – 27/12/2008
Situação na Faixa de Gaza
O Governo brasileiro acompanhou com apreensão a intensificação do lançamento de foguetes por milicianos do Hamas contra o sul de Israel e recebeu com grande preocupação a notícia do ataque aéreo israelense à faixa de Gaza na manhã deste sábado, que vitimou mais de 150 pessoas e causou ferimentos em outras 300.
The fact is that there is more to the Gaza Strip than 1.5 million hungry Palestinians, who are supposedly paying the price for Hamas’s militancy, or Israel’s ‘collective punishment’ whichever way the media decide to brand the problem.
More importantly, Gaza’s existence since time immemorial must not be juxtaposed with its proximity to Israel, failure or success in ‘providing’ a tiny Israeli town – itself built on conquered land that was seen only 60 years ago as part of the Gaza province – with its need for security. It’s this very expectation that made the killing and wounding of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza a price worth paying, in the callous eyes of many.
These unrealistic expectations and disregard of important history will continue to be costly, and will only serve the purpose of those interested in swift generalizations.
Yes, Gaza might be economically dead, but its current struggles and tribulations are consistent with a legacy of conquerors, colonialism and foreign occupations, and more, its people’s collective triumph in rising above the tyranny of those invaders.
In relatively recent history, Gaza became a recurring story following the 1948 influx of refugees, who were driven from their homes by Zionist militias or fled for their families’ sake, hoping to return once Palestine was recovered. They settled in Gaza, subsisting in absolute poverty, a situation that continues, more or less, to this day.
The history of Gaza, and the place itself was largely irrelevant, if not revolting from the point of view of the refugees who poured into the Strip mostly from the south of Palestine, for it represented the pinnacle of their loss, humiliation and, at times, despair. It mattered little to the peasant refugees as they fled to Gaza that that they probably walked on the same ancient road that ran along the Palestinian coast when Gaza was once the last metropolis for travellers to Egypt, just before they embarked on an unforgiving desert journey through Sinai.
So what if Gaza was described as the city, as told in the Book of Judges, where Samson performed his famous deed and perished. Christianity was relevant to the refugees insofar as a few of Gaza’s ancient churches provided shelter to the tired bodies escaping snipers, bullets and massacres. Even the strong belief amongst Muslims that Prophet Muhammad’s – peace be upon him – great-grandfather Hashem died on one of his journeys from Makkah to the Levant and was buried in Gaza, was largely sentimental. His shrine in Gaza City was visited by numerous refugees, who kneeled and prayed to God that they, some day soon, would be sent back to their humble existence, and their ways of life from which they have been forcefully estranged.
But Gaza’s history became more relevant to the refugees when it appeared that their temporary journey to the Strip was likely to be extended. Only then the area’s many stories of conquerors, tragedies, triumphs but also sheer goodness, became of essence. A pilgrim to the Holy Land, who passed through Gaza in 570 AD, wrote in Latin, “Gaza is a splendid city, full of pleasant things; the men in it are most honest, distinguished by every generosity, and warm to friends and visitors.”
Gaza’s history became even more relevant when the refugees realized that their violent encounters with Israel were not yet over, and that they needed the moral tenacity to survive what would eventually be viewed as one of most severe humanitarian catastrophes in recent memory. And indeed, there was much history to marvel upon, and from which to extract strength and substantiation.
Conquerors came and went, and Gaza stood where it still stands today. This was the recurring lesson for generations, even millennia. Ancient Egyptians came and went, as did the Hyksos, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Ottomans, the British, and now the Israelis. And through it all, Gaza stood strong and defiant. Neither Alexander the Great’s bloody conquest of 332 BC, nor Alexander Janneus’s brutal attack of 96 BC broke Gaza’s spirit or took away from its eternal grandeur. It always rose again to reach a degree of civilianisation unheard of, as it did in the 5th century AD.
It was in Gaza that the Crusaders surrendered their strategic control of the city to Saladin in 1170, only to open up yet another era of prosperity and growth, occasionally interrupted by conquerors and outsiders with colonial designs, but to no avail.
All the neglected ruins of past civilisations were only reminders that Gaza’s enemies would never prevail, and would, at best, merely register their presence by another neglected structure of concrete and rocks.
Now Gaza is undergoing another phase of hardship and defiance. Its modern conquerors are as unpitying as its ancient ones. True, Gaza is ailing, but standing, it people resourceful and durable as ever, defiant as they have always been, and hell-bent on surviving, for that’s what Gazans do best. And I should know, it’s my hometown.

The UN Security Council urged an immediate end to all military activities in the Gaza Strip, but Israel brushed it aside and lined up tanks on the border of the coastal strip in apparent preparation for a ground invasion. Tel Aviv also called up reservists.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and Jordan’s King Abdallah discussed Israeli hostilities in Gaza and other matters of mutual concern over telephone yesterday.
The Saudi Shoura Council condemned Israel’s savage bombing in Gaza and called for immediate international intervention for the cessation of hostilities.
In one airstrike yesterday, three missiles fired from an American-supplied F-16 fighter jet hit the main security compound known as Al-Sarayya in the center of Gaza City, completely destroying it. The compound included the Gaza Strip’s main prison. Dozens of Palestinian prisoners were seen escaping unharmed while others were trapped under the rubble.
Shortly before targeting Al-Sarayya, the warplanes bombed a medical storage facility in Rafah city and a truck carrying fuel.
On Saturday night, Israeli warplanes carried out 23 airstrikes including one on a mosque located near Al-Shifa Hospital. The warplanes also targeted the Hamas-run Al-Aqsa Television station.
Israel’s Cabinet authorized a call-up of at least 6,500 reserve soldiers, suggesting plans to expand the offensive. Infantry and armored units were already headed to the Gaza border for a possible ground invasion.
Defiant Palestinians kept up the pressure on Israel, firing dozens of rockets and mortars at border communities. Two rockets struck close to the largest city in southern Israel, Ashdod, some 38 km from Gaza, reaching deeper into Israel than ever before.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a fierce rival of Hamas, urged the group to renew a truce with Israel that collapsed last week. After meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo, he told reporters: “We have warned of this grave danger and said that we should remove all pretexts used by Israel. We all hope to end the aggression and return to the calm. We want to protect Gaza.”
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said a renewal of the truce should be a priority. “There has been a calm and we should work to restore it,” said Aboul Gheit. Deputy Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzouk dismissed such talk and blasted Egypt for what he said was its attempt to weigh the actions of both sides equally.
“Those who are calling for calm should tell the Zionist enemy to end the aggression,” Abu Marzouk told Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV from the Syrian capital of Damascus.
Egyptian police fired in the air near the Gaza border town of Rafah yesterday to prevent Palestinians entering Egypt after Israel launched airstrikes to destroy tunnels along the tense frontier.
“Dozens of civilians tried to break through the Barahma crossing after Israel launched airstrikes along the Gaza-Egypt border. They were repelled by Egyptian police firing in the air,” the official said. Some Palestinians managed to climb over the border wall into Egypt.
Tensions on the border crossing, Gaza’s only one to bypass Israel, had risen during the day, with Egypt blaming Hamas for not letting wounded Palestinians through and Hamas asking for medical aid to be handed over.
Hamas said it was drawing up lists of the wounded but it was proving difficult to transport them to the border because of the seriousness of their injuries and ongoing Israeli strikes. Several truckloads of aid are also waiting to be allowed into the Gaza Strip, an Egyptian security official said.
