Israeli Siege of Gaza Escalated
GUEST: Gabriel Piterberg, Associate Professor of History at UCLA, author of the forthcoming book, “The Returns of Zionism.”
Israeli officials vowed today to intensify an armed offensive against Gaza with the hopes of bringing down Hamas within months. The Israeli government also hinted at renewing political assassinations as Vice Premier Haim Ramon noted that the army should target Hamas leaders “directly or indirectly” involved in Qassam rocket attacks. Taking the threats seriously, major officials of Hamas have not made public appearances in several days. In addition to elevated military threats, Israel announced and implemented a reduction of electrical power last Friday to the Gaza Strip. Critics of the ongoing siege say that in addition to the decision to close border crossings, the further cuts in the energy amount to a collective punishment of the people of Gaza. According to a UN official, the siege has already resulted less access to food rations and running water in Palestinian homes, and the failure of proper wastewater treatment. Rolling blackouts were already a fact of life before the energy cuts.
A Friends of Sabeel Conference: Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of Al-Nakba will take place on February 15 – 16, 2008 at All Saints Church, Pasadena (located at 132 N. Euclid Avenue).

This is not to say that pay per click marketing can not be used to increase the visibility of marketing, is simply a warning to
consider when deciding what is best for your money.
Since all profitable businesses need to develop an effective plan for
promoting and delivering their goods this is another area you need to consider.
Most businesses are realizing that they must make the transition to web based marketing or risk
losing ground to their many competitors.
But still, the awareness about the eyeglasses and
factors like strength of the eyeglasses and other factors related to the technicalities.
How do you know when you have a internet site that
cares about its customers. By doing just a little online search, one can find
a wide range of rimless eyeglasses at very competitive prices.
