Canada condemns rocket fire on Israel
Canada "vigorously condemns" a spate of rocket fire by Gaza groups against Israel, Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said Friday.

"Canada vigorously condemns the rocket attacks on Israel launched from the Gaza Strip. These terrorist attacks, which indiscriminately target civilian areas, are abhorrent and criminal. Israel has a right to defend itself against such terrorist acts," he said in a statement. (AFP) (via)

Barak: Iron Dome missile defense system to be deployed next week
The deployment of the missile defense system comes in response to heightened shelling and rockets launched from Gaza to Israel in the past week.

Israel is deploying its newly developed Iron Dome missile defense system for the first time to protect southern Israeli communities from Palestinian attacks from Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces announced Friday.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak gave the order Friday after a week in which Gaza militants fired dozens of mortar shells and rockets at Israel, which retaliated with air strikes.

Barak says he approved the deployment of the system as an operational experiment and the IDF has said it will be operational in a few days.

In a meeting with the IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and other defense officials, he praised the military's reaction to heightened rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, saying "in the last ten days, the terror organizations in Gaza have been hit hard and lost 11 militants."

He lamented the loss of civilian life in the strikes, but said that "it is not Israel's intent to allow terror organizations to renew their efforts to break our routine," saying that Israel will do whatever necessary to restore order.

Barak warned Hamas and other terror organizations of the consequences of further firing into Israel, saying that although the past 24 hours have been rocket-free, Israel is continuing to follow the situation closely.

The defense minister said he authorized the experimental deployment of Iron Dome, which will in all likelihood be in use initially for several weeks. He added that the mode and scope of deployment will be in accordance with the security situation in the South.

The system is a main component of Israel's defense against the homemade and imported rockets fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza, as well as the longer range rockets in the hands of Hezbollah guerrillas on Israel's border with Lebanon.

Barak made clear that Iron Dome will be used in the event missiles are shot into the area in which it will be deployed, but the full deployment of the missile defense system will only be feasible in a few years' time, largely due to budgetary constraints. (via)

2 Qassam rockets fall in Negev damaging property
Rocket lands on home in Eshkol Regional Council causing damage but no injuries; Barak says Iron Drome anti-rocket system to be deployed within days, cautions system is not a 100% solution.

A Kassam rocket exploded in Eshkol Regional Council area late Friday night, causing damage to one house but no injuries.

A second Kassam had fell in an open area.

The rocket fire comes a day after nearly a dozen rockets were fired deep into Israel, including in Beersheva, Asdod, Ashkelon, and in the Rishon Lezion area.
Earlier Friday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak confirmed that he authorized the deployment of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
Speaking during a tour of the Gaza region, Barak said: "I authorized the IDF in the coming days to authorize the first operational deployment of Iron Dome batteries, here in the southern region."
The test deployment, he said, "will continue for several weeks and the layout will vary with operational needs."
The defense minister praised Iron Dome's technology, calling it an "extraordinary development" by the defense industry. He cautioned, however, that it does not provide a 100 percent solution to the rocket threat.

The Iron Dome system will be part of the IDF's solution to the barrage of rockets fired into southern Israel from Gaza in the last week, a statement from the IDF spokesperson said.

Iron Dome is designed to defend against rockets at a range of 4-70 km and each battery consists of a multi-mission radar manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries and three launchers, each equipped with 20 interceptors named Tamir.
The defense minister also praised the IDF's operations in the southern region. "The IDF is doing a very good job - very professional and creative, with [good] results, along the border and in the Gaza Strip itself," he said.
"Terror organizations in the Strip took a hard hit during the last 10 days," Barak said, adding that the groups had lost fighters during that period.
He noted that "some 100 rockets and mortars that reached communities further [from the Strip] than usual" were hit, including Beersheba, Ashdod, Sderot, Ashkelon, and the Gaza border-region communities. "We have no intention to allow terrorist organizations to renew the situation and breaking the status quo," he said. The defense minister added, "We will act as it is needed to return the operations back to the [border] line itself."
"I don't recommend to Hamas or Islamic Jihad to attempt and return us to the situation when [rockets] were fired at areas deep into the country and at communities in the border region."

Euh?
Je zegt een hele hoop dingen tegelijk en ik kan ze door het taalverschil maar lastig ontrafelen.
Ik probeer. Oprecht, want, zoals een voormalige buurman van mij zei: vechten kunnen we altijd nog.
1) Jij denkt, dat als de Gazanen een tienvoudige macht hadden, zij die ook zouden gebruiken.
Als je uitgaat van een oorlog, dan denk ik dat je gelijk hebt. Maar dan ga je dus uit van een oorlog, niet van een vredesproces of een soort samenleving.
2) Het effect van de blokkade is volgens jou dat de Gazanen geen tienvoudige macht hebben. Volgens mij, en de VN, is het effect dat de Gazanen amper een leven hebben. Zie mijn eerdere verhaal over de frustratie van werkloze jongeren.
3) Je aanval op mij persoonlijk glijdt van me af als water van een eend. Ik heb je al aangeboden verder te discussiëren per pm, als je het te bedreigend vindt.

ok bekende verhaaltje weer palestijnen verhongeren enz enz enz ,

quote:

Veel hoogopgeleide Palestijnen zijn, vanwege de slechte economische omstandigheden en de hoge werkloosheid, naar het buitenland vertrokken. Studeren is vaak moeilijk, zo niet onmogelijk vanwege de slechte bereikbaarheid van scholen door de talloze roadblocks (wegversperringen) en controleposten en nu ook nog de 'muur'. (Zie onder Bezetting/de muur en Bezetting/checkpoints)

De jarenlange bezetting van de Palestijnse gebieden heeft een totale ontwrichting van de Palestijnse samenleving tot gevolg. Hoge werkloosheid en armoede zijn dagelijkse realiteit. Het onderwijs functioneert slecht. Jongeren hebben weinig toekomst- perspectieven en leven in angst en onzekerheid.

quote:

De werkloosheid is 67% alleen al in de Gaza-strook.

GAZA CITY (Maan) -- The unemployment rate in Gaza has continued to climb in 2011, reaching 45.4%, UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told reporters in Gaza City on Wednesday.

At a news conference for the UN Relief and Works Agency, Gunness warned that the increasing unemployment was a sign of a hugely fragile Gaza economy, which he described as on the "brink of collapse."

Israel's continued siege on the coastal enclave, Gunness warned, would push the economy over the edge.

Since Israel announced its "ease" on restrictions, during the second quarter of 2010, unemployment in Gaza rose from 44.3 percent to 45.4 percent, UN numbers showed. (via)

67%? Volgens mensenrechtenorganistaties 'slechts' 44%.

En dan zijn mijn bronnen niet objectief

quote:

In Gaza, 32% of men between 15 and 24 years participate in the labor force, but the rate is considerably lower for women in the same age group, 7%

The unemployment rate, however, shows the dire prospects faced by these young economically active persons in Gaza. The rate for the 15-to-19-year age group reaches 72%, while unemployment affects 66% of those aged between 20 and 24 years. These rates are in stark contrast to the figures in the West Bank, where the unemployment rates are 29% and 34% for these age groups, respectively.

When discouraged workers are counted, the youth unemployment rate rises from 67% to 75%. Discouraged workers are those who are willing and able to work but are too discouraged to actively look for work. These individuals believe they will not find employment even if they search because they think no work is available for them. One phenomenon closely associated with discouraged workers is long term unemployment.

Unless the Gazan economy grows in such a way as to expand the productive base, stimulating a significant demand for labor, growth in the supply of labor will severely affect the already serious unemployment situation in Gaza.

Maar ik had het over jouw quote van die website, die stelde dat de totale werkloosheid 67% bedraagt.
