More Blood on the Hands of Wikileaks – Abbas Cooperated with Israel

Loading

Think this revelation by wikileaks will cost human lives?

A U.S. cable leaked on Monday said Israel and President Mahmoud Abbas’s forces worked closely together against Hamas as it took over Gaza in 2007, a potentially embarrassing revelation for the Palestinian leader.

Israel has acknowledged working with Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces loyal to the Western-backed Abbas, but the diplomatic memo leaked by WikiLeaks describes a level of cooperation that could fuel criticism of Abbas by his Islamist rivals.

The 2007 cable quoted Yuval Diskin, the head of Israel’s Shin Bet internal security service, as saying the PA security apparatus shares with Israel “almost all the intelligence that it collects.”

“They understand that Israel’s security is central to their survival in the struggle with Hamas in the West Bank,” the cable said.

The cable, dated June 13, 2007, was sent from the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv as Hamas forces were routing Abbas’s security forces to take over the Gaza Strip. Abbas has since ruled only in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

It’s not a secret that the PA has hampered the peace process, but they are moderates compared to Hamas and now they can use this release as fuel for an even more wider, more violent, war with the PA and wrest complete control away. What happens then? Obama wants peace between Israel and the Palestinians? While there was little likelihood that was going to happen there is now a 0% chance. And the cost to human lives will once again be on Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and the rest of their cohorts hands.

Back when Hamas merely suspected this they were ”kneecapping” and defenestrating Fatah members in Gaza.

A kneecapping by Hamas means you are shot in the back of each knee then denied any medical treatment.
If you live you are crippled for life.

Defenestration is the tying up a man at hands and feet and throwing him off a three story building.
Often the victim lives to die of thirst or internal injuries.
It is illegal for anyone to render aid.
The person lays there until they die.

So, for the record, Hamas did not wait for FACTS, they killed men based on suspicion.
But more will probably die now that this fact is out there.

I guess you guys are ‘we love Orwellian big goverment that practices secrecy and lies’ ‘conservatives’? The we love the military state, with 700 military bases around the world, who have so far murdered over a million iraqi’s.. for cheap oil to drive hummers ‘conservatives’? You don’t appreciate being informed of what your goverment is doing in your name, and when your political leaders hypocrisy on steroids is exposed, you prefer not to take stock of the situation, and make changes based upon new facts.. you prefer to shoot the messenger and cover up your hypocritical leaders?

You sure don’t sound like the Ron Paul Libertarians, who love small open, honest and trasnparent goverment, with no foreign american bases, who don’t invade other countries on lies and deception; who live in accordance to your means, both in terms of debt and resources, who don’t get yourself involved in entanglements? Don’t sound like you would want a Wiki the Fed, as Ron Paul supports for an open audit of the fed, or that open transparent goverment holds your elected leaders accountable, and that if you hadn’t invaded Iraq, you wouldn’t have the blood of a million dead iraqis on your hands…

Seems like there are two different types of ‘conservatives’… just like their are two different kinds of liberals….

seems like there are liberals and conservatives who value honesty and transparency, cause they know that liberty is protected, and goverment can be held accountable, when the citizens are fully informed….

and then there are liberals and conservatives who prefer secrecy and covering up the corruption of their statist corrupt elite…

very interesting, i must say!

@Andrea:

who have so far murdered over a million iraqi’s..

Really?

Our military has “murdered over a million Iraqis”?

Really?

No, they haven’t….and you’re a lying piece of dog squeeze.

for cheap oil to drive hummers

Yep…that Iraqi oil sure is cheap stuff…I guess that’s why gasoline is now nudging up against $3.05 per gallon here in the States which is some 81 cents higher than it was a year ago.

Of course, from way down there in South Africa you wouldn’t know any more about cheap oil than you do about war casualties.

You sure don’t sound like the Ron Paul Libertarians

I don’t believe any of us ever professed to be Ronulans.

Just add that to the list of things about which you know nothing.

Thanks for playing.

Andrea

I despise being lumped in with ”Hummer drivers, Ron Paul lovers or baby murderers.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Have you ever seen the photo essay of the kinds of cars carrying your Leftist bumper stickers?
LOL!
It’s a GAS!
No, really, a GAS GUZZLER!
Here it is.

As to Ron Paul, he has said some good stuff, but he is hypocritical, too.
He fills bill after bill with PORK for his district then, when he is SURE it will pass, he votes against it!

And abortionists have killed far more people, most of them Americans and Europeans, than total dead in Iraq AND Afghanistan!
So, pat yourself on the back.

Andrea,Say hello to Ms Vanden Huevel at the Nation for me, and while you are at it, Ask her what she thinks of Mr. Assange who rapes women while they are sleeping. That kind of behavior is Ok with you too as long as he Hates America?

Andrea,

Here we go again… You are another believer in the million Iraqi myth.

If you are that uninformed, how can any of your other statements hold any water?

Andrea…the next time you wonder about that global military presence, stop to consider how much fun and excitement that Great Power arms races have provided the world in previous history.

If you think the world is a worse place *because* of American global presence – you need to consider the kind of rampant militarization that would be occurring right now.

Wonder to yourself *why* a General War has not erupted…why conflict has been restrained to “Small Wars”

Do you even understand the difference or the implications of which I type?

I stand by my statements…

When someone provides me a response that is based on rational scientific journalism evidence response; I’ll be happy to respond directly thereto. I don’t find it useful to get involved in rational debates with indiviudals who are incapable of making impartial enquiries, because their total sense of identity is rooted in their ideology. Its pointless, they are not interested in a discussion; they are involved in a fake Jim Jones believe my emotional tirade argument.

“WikiLeaks coined a new type of journalism: scientific journalism. We work with other media outlets to bring people the news, but also to prove it is true. Scientific journalism allows you to read a news story, then to click online to see the original document it is based on. That way you can judge for yourself: Is the story true? Did the journalist report it accurately?” — Don’t shoot messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths, by Julian Assange, The Australian, December 08, 2010

It doesn’t appear as if any of these extremely emotional responses, have read any of what Assange said. Now as far as I know honest conservatives, they make impartial enquiries, they are conservatives, not cause they are so ego-fragile and looking for a herd to pretend to join, so they can feel at home; but they are conservatives, because they practice conservativeism in their lives. One of those principles is to make impartial enquiries, to read exactly what someone themselves has written, not what a bunch of other people have written about the man. Julian Assange appears to be more conservative than any of these emotional children who ain’t read a thing he said, yet have very emotional opinions about him, thanks to reading their daily fake conservative guru’s instructions of belief.

For example… these fake children conservatives.. PREFER CORRUPT GOVERMENT???

In Andy Greenberg’s Forbes Interview of Assange, he asks Assange: What do you think WikiLeaks mean for business? How do businesses need to adjust to a world where WikiLeaks exists?..

WikiLeaks means it’s easier to run a good business and harder to run a bad business, and all CEOs should be encouraged by this. I think about the case in China where milk powder companies started cutting the protein in milk powder with plastics. That happened at a number of separate manufacturers.

Let’s say you want to run a good company. It’s nice to have an ethical workplace. Your employees are much less likely to screw you over if they’re not screwing other people over.

Then one company starts cutting their milk powder with melamine, and becomes more profitable. You can follow suit, or slowly go bankrupt and the one that’s cutting its milk powder will take you over. That’s the worst of all possible outcomes.

The other possibility is that the first one to cut its milk powder is exposed. Then you don’t have to cut your milk powder. There’s a threat of regulation that produces self-regulation.

It just means that it’s easier for honest CEOs to run an honest business, if the dishonest businesses are more effected negatively by leaks than honest businesses. That’s the whole idea. In the struggle between open and honest companies and dishonest and closed companies, we’re creating a tremendous reputational tax on the unethical companies.

No one wants to have their own things leaked. It pains us when we have internal leaks. But across any given industry, it is both good for the whole industry to have those leaks and it’s especially good for the good players.

Perhaps your fake conservative cult guru’s may one day tell you to go and read the scientific journalism evidence.. where the journalists, left or right, are bothered providing the evidence for their statements, the original documents, upon which they base their interpretations; so you can start making up your minds from the original facts.. not guru fake conservative cult yellow journalism….

and for those who think living in harmony with the earth is being a ‘leftie’; pray are you saying that the founder of COMMON SENSE was a leftie communist???

Is Judge Napolitano a communist leftie?
Whose read what he has to say about Wikileaks and corrupt goverment?
there are many dozens more, of good solid conservatives who support honest and transparent small goverment.

Iraq Deaths Estimate as of today: 1,421,933*

* Source: Just Foreign Policy (see JFP for explanation of stats computation)

Iraq Deaths

The number is shocking and sobering. It is at least 10 times greater than most estimates cited in the US media, yet it is based on a scientific study of violent Iraqi deaths caused by the U.S.-led invasion of March 2003.

[..] A study, published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet, estimated that over 600,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the invasion as of July 2006. Iraqis have continued to be killed since then. The death counter provides a rough daily update of this number based on a rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count. (See the complete explanation.)

The estimate that over a million Iraqis have died received independent confirmation from a prestigious British polling agency in September 2007. Opinion Research Business estimated that 1.2 million Iraqis have been killed violently since the US-led invasion.

Criticisms and Praise for Lancet Study: FAS Report: Iraqi Civilian Deaths Estimates, by Hannah Fischer, Information Research Specialist, Knowledge Services Group:

The second study, published in 2006, increased the number of clusters surveyed from 33 to 47 and reported an estimate of between 426,369 and 793,663 Iraqi civilian deaths from violent causes since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom.11 This article, too, has sparked some controversy.12 Stephen Moore, a consultant for Gorton Moore International, objected to the methods used by the researchers, commenting in the Wall Street Journal that the Lancet article lacked some of the hallmarks of good research: a small margin of error, a record of the demographics of respondents (so that one can be sure one has captured a fair representation of an entire population), and a large number of cluster points.13 On the other hand, documents written by the UK Ministry of Defence’s chief scientific advisor have come to light, which called the survey’s methods “close to best practice” and “robust.”14

I have not come across any solid conservative sites which provide evidentiary evidence contradicting these stats. If anyone knows of any please let me know. I shall be happy to check them out.

lol…pot – kettle – black, game – set – match.

Keep circling those wagons darlin’ because that’s how the water flows when your spinning down the drain.

Malize…

is that the level of your ‘scientific evidence’ argument?

sounds like the arguments I get from liberals when they don’t like my colour of crime race reality facts.. instead of contradicting any of the facts, they accuse me of being a ‘racist’.

you prefer pot – kettle – black! 😉

okay.. if that makes you happy.. no worries. let me know when you find yourself an intellectual backbone!

Andrea,

Put down the crack pipe. You should damn well know that *REPUTABLE* sources, sources you even reference (but don’t use) put the number at just shy of 110k.

So just give it up already. You are the one sucking down kool-aid; that is why your whole “argument” is a huge gigantic fail — it is a whole wall of text regurgitating leftist and anti-war hyperbole that starts out with stated debate logic failures from yourself.

You want to be taken seriously, you better bring an ACTUAL scientific / unbiased / rational argument to the table instead of the weak ass tripe you just attempted to pass off as fact.

Merry xmas.

Aye,

One barrel of oil produces the energy equivalent of work, to owning 12 slaves for an entire year. Or 144 slaves for one months work.
* Source: Matt Savinar (LATOC) in A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash, documentary by Basil Gelpke

42 gallons in a barrel: 144/42 means a gallon’s worth of energy is energy equivalent to 3.4 slaves for a months work.

So you think that $3 worth of gas — i.e. the energy equivalent of 3.4 slaves, working for you for an entire months work — is EXPENSIVE!!?????

How many unemployed Americans do you think you going to get to work for you for an entire month, if you pay them each $1 for their months work???

Malize,

Pray share your ‘reputable’ sources?

As for xmas.. its a pagan holiday for fake christians, i am neither a pagan, nor a fake christian. But I ain’t got any problem with either pagans or fake christians enjoying their pagan/fake christian holiday.

@Andrea:

And that explains the anger issues. We could suggest medication but alas, prescriptions come in plastic containers. 🙄

Andrea, what is it with you, no slaves to compare with oil, you must be talking about other COUNTRYS who still hold their people in slavery. and use them as expandeble slaves easy to replace, but wait,
the PRESIDENT BUSH SEND THE TROOPS TO STOP THOSES MASS KILLING,NOT FOR OIL,
YOU SHOULD LOOK DEEPER THAN WHAT SOME MEDIAS ARE PAID TO SAY,
YES TOO BAD SO MANY LIKE YOU JUST TAKE IT AS IT SAYS, AND THE WORSE THING IS THAT YOU GET OTHER IGNORANTS OF THE FACTS TO FOLLOW YOUR CROOKED JUDGEMENT.

WE know there are many deads and casualtys on our side, and this is to look for with more interest than anything else, we cry for our own,and let the ennemies cry for their own,
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS FIRST AND ALWAYS.

Andrea…apparently you don’t read the stuff you cut and paste. As I *stated* earlier the sources were referenced in *YOUR OWN POST*

Are you normally this much of a colossal failbot?
