Australia's No2 with people-smugglers

PAKISTANI people-smugglers recommend Australia as the second-best destination for seeking asylum after Canada, according to one of the 134 Asian and Middle Eastern asylum-seekers intercepted off the Australian coast since October.
Sadiq Bahram, an ethnic Hazara from Afghanistan who has reached Australian waters twice from Indonesia since 1999, said known in Pakistan were former police officers who charged $US15,000 ($21,000) for passage to Canada, $US10,000 to Australia and $US9000 to Europe.
In the first interview with any member of the seven boatloads of asylum-seekers now living or being detained on Christmas Island, Mr Bahram said: "They tell me Canada is the best, second is Australia and third is Europe but I tell them I want Australia, I love Australia and its people ...it (is) the best paradise in the world because it is peaceful and beautiful."
Well Mr Bahram,until people (like yourself)started invading the country from Middle Eastern Islamic cess pools,under the protection and facilitation of the Australian Labor Party and its fundraising arm the The Australian Council of Trade Unions, Australia was all you say you think it is, however you have missed the boat if you think you will find in Australia now what you speak of.
Mr Bahram and his 13-year-old daughter, Arzoo, were intercepted at Ashmore Reef with 12 others on a small boat - the second detected in Australian waters since the Rudd Government was elected in November 2007.
They were brought to Christmas Island on October 10.
Everyone aboard, except the crew, and everyone aboard the first boat to arrive last year have had their hopes boosted by the Rudd Government's decision last month to permit all 26 to apply for protection visas.
Mr Bahram said he had paid a Pakistani people-smuggler $12,000. He received a special discount on his daughter's fare after giving the smuggler all his savings.
He said they were issued with false passports and flew unaccompanied from Islamabad to Singapore. He said they then joined others in a 12-day boat trip from Malaysia to Kupang, in West Timor, where they got into another smaller boat for the trip to Australia.
The trip was scary, he said, because the boat was in terrible condition and Arzoo could not swim.
None of the three Indonesian crew, including a teenage boy, seemed to know where they were.
"I asked him, 'Are we in Australia?' and the captain said, 'Yes'. But when I asked him later, 'Are we in Indonesia?' he said 'Yes'," Mr Bahram said. "We were lost."
Mr Bahram first sought asylum here in 1999. He was working as a camera operator for the Wahdat party in Afghanistan and coming under increasing pressure for his involvement in a social and cultural group called Machid Art, in which he met friends on Friday nights to write plays, film dramas and play music.
Mr Bahram tells a harrowing story of being pursued by mullahs over a film he made with Machid about the plight of Hazaras in Afghanistan, Broken Night, and a drama he helped write urging better leadership in Afghanistan entitled Gamshuda.
Local young men were warned by mujaheddin not to associate with them, and soon a leaflet was being distributed describing their activities as "not Muslim", Mr Bahram said.
Mr Bahram,those same thinking people are NOW living in Australia,we cannot be critical of them because to do so is Islamophobic and rascist,if you are not of the same mind set as these people and the Australian Labor Party's created Multicultural Industry, you, along with the overwhelming majority of Anglo Saxon Australians, will be scorned by Australia's Islamic and Socialist elites who will remind you that "Islam is a Religion of Peace" and Australian's and people like yourself are simply rascists and Islamophobic.
"It said this group is not Muslim because they are watching a movie, making a movie, showing a movie," he said.
He fled to Pakistan after receiving threatening letters from a local leader, who was in the Taliban.
There, he paid a Pakistani people-smuggler $6000 for a journey to Australia that included two days locked in a basement in Bali.
He spent a year at Woomera, which he said he prefers not to speak about, and was living on a temporary protection visa when he learned that his friend from Machid Art, Qais, had been murdered.
He said the death of his brother and sister in a bomb blast from US troops put him under pressure to return, and he accepted $1800 from the International Organisation for Migration to help get home. "I thought things might be different with the new leaders but it was not," Mr Bahram said.
He knew he would be killed when he saw a "night notice" on a mosque wall referring to him and his former activities. "It said I had insulted the imam and would be sent to hell," he said.
Sorry Mr Bahram, you have just jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, the same views and threats against infidels are spoken here daily and sometimes all too often "Aussie Sluts" "Aussie Pigs" "Skips" are gang raped stabbed bashed forced to leave schools and indeed change employment.
You see Mr Bahram your fellow coreligionists have done to Australia what you did to Afghanistan and every where else the followers of Islam have invaded or colonized by stealth under the protection of Multiculturalism.

Warning to all Muslims the world over seeking asylum and protection from the manifestations of their faith.
Do not under any circumstances come to Australia, for we are a Nation founded upon Judeo Christian Law and principles and as such Australia is an anathema to any follower of the Paedophile Slave Trader Mohammad's cult of Islam.
There is no ideology more hated and despised in Australia than Islam.You simply would not like it here.

You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Thousands rally for Israel world wide
Support for Israel grows world wide
Towards the end of this video you will see the "usual suspects" aka "Pious Peace Loving Muslims" and their supporters, engaged in their usual rants and acts of urban terrorism, their behavior is in stark contrast to the behavior of the Jews and their supporters, a classic case of Garbage IN Garbage OUT, clearly exposure to the "Holy Koran" does have some rather un Godly consequences, unbridled blood lusting savagery been just one.
Former British PM Tony Blair was reported as saying the other day, that he reads the Koran daily and can understand how Islam became such a civilizing influence on the world,based on the behavior,writings and verbalised threats to mankind by Islams finest, almost 24/7 clearly the definition of civilizing has changed, to this day surely it cannot be argued that the Islamic nations are leaders in the subjugation of men and women and the greatest oppressors of mankind leaving Communist / Socialist nations green with envy.
I believe that Mr Blair is now some sort of Middle Eastern liaison officer, (Islam apologist ?) perhaps that's why he is reading the Koran in an effort to get some street cred with Islamic Mobsters he has deal with

Teacher has sex with student 300 times under Husbands nose
Teacher 'had sex with 13-year-old boy 300 times'
News.com.au
January 12, 2009 12:00am
A MARRIED teacher has been charged with seven counts of statutory rape after allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old schoolboy more than 300 times - including right under her husband's nose.
Police say Christine McCallum, 29, lived a disturbed double life for almost two years.
The Boston teacher is accused of having serial liaisons with the boy in Rockland and Abington from February 2006, when she allegedly took his virginity, to November 2007.
The lad told police they had sex for the first time on a couch at McCallum's home while her husband slept upstairs.
They also had unprotected sex in the shower, on the kitchen floor and on the living room floor, court documents say.
The Boston Herald reports that McCallum denies all the allegations, saying she took the boy and his brother in.
"She tried to mother the child because she felt sorry for them," her lawyer Frederick McDermott said.
Prosecutors claim McCallum weaved her way into the boy’s life in late 2005 when she became a tutor for his younger brother.
But within months she was allegedly giving them vodka and rum - and sleeping with him in her house.
Police said McCallum ended the relationship in a fit of jealousy when she discovered the boy was using a mobile phone she bought him to text other girls.
The alleged affair was uncovered last week when a friend of the boy told his mother.
I want to know how big is the Husbands nose?
I mean the average Aussie Guy could possibly go for 450 or 500 times over a month or so in the back seat of the car, however 300 times under the husbands nose is stretching it a bit, surely its a case of case dismissed?

Two More Shark attacks in Australia
Fries with that Sir?
ABCNews
A surfer has told of his horror as he watched a five-metre white pointer shark repeatedly attack a teenage girl this afternoon on Tasmania's east coast.
The 13-year-old girl was surfing at Baileys Rocks at Binalong Bay when the attack happened.
Ian Hollingsworth was surfing 20 to 40 metres away and saw the attack, and the efforts of the girl's male cousin to protect her.
"It was basically a scene out of 'Jaws'," he said.
"The shark went around and I saw it actually come out of the water and hit her.
"It then went around, I believe I saw her going backwards, and she was screaming.
"The guy was just fighting to save her. All the time the shark was circling."
The girl has injuries to her lower right leg, but they are not believed to be life-threatening.
She has been flown to Hobart for treatment.
It's true there are more fricking Great Whites and Tiger Sharks now on the Australian East Coast than there were on the first day of creation!!!
I have seen these Bastards of things from my earliest of days (6-12 years of age, roughly ten or so years ago) of surfing on Sydney's Northern Beaches and in Queensland.
The earth worshipers / Enviro Nazi's decreed that no SHARK should be killed, some ten years ago in the state of New South Wales, It's like saying that Lions in Africa need to be protected from Gazelle because there are some occasions when a Gazelle can manage to escape from the jaws of a Lion / Great White or Tiger Shark, or closer to home in Sydney Harbour Bull Sharks, as per the incident just prior to the Sydney 2000 Olympics where Olympic gravy train hangers on witnessed from a trendy shore line restaurant, a man knocked from his surf ski by a Bull Shark, clinging to a channel marker for dear life as his attacker circled waiting for his grip to fail.
As a result of these Loon Nut Job Green / Enviro Nazi's any Australian living within 5 miles of the coast is constantly checking their Toilet Bowls for Great Whites and Tiger Sharks before they comfortably allow their arse to "rest in peace" before opening their favourite edition of Penthouse or Cosmo on the toilet seat to do the job at hand.
I have personally had to engage at least 101 times, in a life or death battle with what PETA has now demanded be classified as "sea kittens" simply to be able to do, in a civilized and hygienic manner what nature intended, that is to say a # 2, Thank God I am still "intact" or as a Vet would describe me as "entire", however it is only due to my never ending diligence.
Rag Heads the world over Come on Down!!!!!!!!!!!! and swim in our Oceans (fully clothed of course) and meet Australia's Islamic, Politically Correct, Multicultural, non Judgemental, Sea Kittens.
I have so much more to say here however I gotta go as in "I gotta go!!!" and I cant remember where I left my spear gun, Oh jeeeze that's right, that, French prick Jacques Cousteau borrowed it,It could be any where, so where is my cricket bat? steak knife? Kangaroo Paw bottle opener?..... geeeee I need to go quick, maybe I can engage the sea kitten in some "non violent conflict resolution" tactics ? here goes .........
We have fricking Sharks falling out our Arse here we are not considered well dressed without a fricking Great White snapping at our heels on our way to to the super market.
Feeling sorry for KILLER Sharks don"t have enough on YOUR Beach? How many dozen ya want?
Thankfully,most Australians have our very own Australian Heinz White Pointer Terrier attack dogs and position them alongside our Toilets to warn us of any stray White Pointers before we sit down on the can.

Hamas Terror supporters hold candle light vigil, in Australia's capitol, Canberra.
Thousands of candles lit in Gaza vigil
News.com.au
January 10, 2009 08:29pm
MORE than 4000 candles in white paper bags have been lit on the front lawn outside Parliament House in Canberra as part of a vigil against the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Religious leaders from the Islamic, Catholic, Anglican and Uniting faiths were also present to show their solidarity and support for peace in the Middle East region.
The paper bags were carefully laid out across the lawn to spell out both English and Arabic translations of the words, "Save Gaza Now".
The display's artist, Jorge Pujol, designed the Sorry, the First Step display after last year's historic apology to Indigenous Australians by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
“The candle message is pretty much a silent message. It's a message of light,” Keysar Trad, from the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, told the gathering.
“We are lighting candles to bring about light, dissipate this evil of destruction.”
The vigil concludes a day of protests in Canberra over the conflict.

Under the ever present main stream, pro Hamas media eye, they cried on cue and shouted for the destruction of Israel in their quest for "peace" in a way that only Islamist's aka members of the "Religion of Peace" and their adoring new age Christian / atheist fan club can,
Ingratiating themselves to Australia's imported and purpose home bred Islamic Terrorist's and terrorism supporters,members of the Religion of Peace,aka Islam, and it's two faced carpet bagger's / community leaders clearly loved every minuet of their HATE FEST,just what would these arse clowns do without Israel and the west to blame 24/7 for every hurt they feel?
I can only assume they believe that they will in exchange for their betrayal of Australia they will be spared their lives should the Mongrel Dog of Islam take over here in Australia as it has in Gaza, why else would "Catholic, Anglican and Uniting faith" and other sufferers of Stockholm Syndrome, make such unashamed arse clowns of themselves by this Curr like behavior? when Australians who feel their only chance of survival and to appease Islams Satanic Beast,is to jump into bed with Islamic Terrorists and their Australian based representatives,all those who fought and died for us must be wondering why the hell they bothered.
I wonder just how many of these new age God loving "Christians" and atheist's live in Sydney's occupied territories in the south western Sydney suburbs with the Godless savages they marched with today.

Hamas Childrens TV Islams maddest of Dogs on Parade
Hamas feeding kids a TV diet of hatred

ISRAEL’S Operation Cast Lead is unfolding like a familiar soap opera on the nightly news.
A series of Palestinian terrorists making blood-curdling threats against Israelis, a hail of missiles aimed at Israeli civilian targets, retaliatory strikes against the terrorists - who unfailingly seek to shelter behind innocent civilians - followed by scenes of weeping parents at crowded hospitals.
It is a plot line designed to soften the hardest heart. Unfortunately, those who buy the tear-jerking material unquestioningly are being duped.
No one, let alone a parent raised in a Western culture, could imagine placing children directly in harm’s way or encouraging impressionable infants to worship death but that is what the thugs and murderers responsible for the slaughter in Gaza have been doing.
It is an Islamist thing and Palestinian TV, often subsidised by the United Nations and European Union, is full of it.
In regular drama directed at kindergarten-aged children, children are taught that martyrdom is a beautiful state to aspire to, that suicide bombers are heroes and heroines and that even cartoon characters can sing and dance and murder their way into paradise.
Palestinian Media Watch and the Middle East Media Research Institute have been documenting this extraordinary perversion in recent years.
Among the scripts translated from Arabic is a cute story of the four-year-old daughter of female suicide bomber Reem Riyashi, shown singing to her dead mother and swearing to follow in her explosive footsteps. The video clip, aired on Hamas TV, depicts the little child asking her mother what she is carrying (it is explosives) and why she is putting on a hijab. All is made clear when the local newspaper (and headstone) reveals that mummy dearest was no soccer-mum but indeed a bomber-mum.
“Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands. Only now, I know what was more precious than us . . . may your steps be blessed,” the little girl sings.
“Send greetings to our Messenger (Mohammed) and tell him: ‘Duha loves you.’ My love will not be (merely) words. I am following Mummy in her steps.”
At which point she finds some explosives her bomb-loving mum left in a drawer and picks up a stick, happily singing: “Oh Mummy, Oh Mummy.”
Don’t think this is some aberration. Abhorrent agitprop is the currency of Palestinian children’s television programming, with even cartoon characters depicting martyrdom as a highly desirable goal.
In a regular show on Hamas TV early last year, giant rabbit “Assud” replaced his brother “Nahoul” - a giant bee who had died after failing to get into hospital in Egypt for surgery.
Assud told his young audience: “We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland. We will sacrifice our souls and everything we own for the homeland”, vowing also to “get rid of the Jews and eat them up”.
Regular viewers would recall Nahoul himself replaced “Farfour”, the Hamas mouse who was shown being “killed” on the show by an Israeli soldier in 2007.
Farfour Martyred Mouse
As the young female host Saraa Bahoum told her audience: “Yes, my dear children, we have lost our dearest friend Farfour. Farfour was martyred while defending his land, the land of his fathers and forefathers. He was martyred at the hand of criminals, the murderers, the murderers of innocent children who killed Iman Hijo, Muhammed Al-Dura and many others.”
The martyred mouse was more likely a victim of copyright lawyers who saw too close a resemblance to Disney’s Mickey Mouse but that wasn’t in the script.
The bee made that clear when he said: “I want to continue in the path of Farfour - the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, of the mujahidin. Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour. We will take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the killer of the prophets and of the innocent children, until we liberate Al-Aqsa from their impurity. We place our trust in Allah.”
Hamas Bee replaces Hamas Mouse
Indoctrinating children to become suicide bombers and human shields is a declared goal of Hamas, as Fathi Hamad, a representative of the terrorist organisation, proudly told the Palestine Authority Legislative Council last year.
“For the Palestinian people death became an industry at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel and the children excel,” Hamad said.
“Accordingly (Palestinians) created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: ‘We desire death as you desire life’.”
To ensure that the “death industry” doesn’t experience a slow-down, Hamas has placed its fighters in civilian homes, schools and hospitals.
It would be inhuman in the extreme not to feel sympathy for the children being used in this callous manner but it would be unintelligent not to ask why those who are exploiting them are not being called to account.

ISRAEL’S Operation Cast Lead is unfolding like a familiar soap opera on the nightly news.
A series of Palestinian terrorists making blood-curdling threats against Israelis, a hail of missiles aimed at Israeli civilian targets, retaliatory strikes against the terrorists - who unfailingly seek to shelter behind innocent civilians - followed by scenes of weeping parents at crowded hospitals.
It is a plot line designed to soften the hardest heart. Unfortunately, those who buy the tear-jerking material unquestioningly are being duped.
No one, let alone a parent raised in a Western culture, could imagine placing children directly in harm’s way or encouraging impressionable infants to worship death but that is what the thugs and murderers responsible for the slaughter in Gaza have been doing.
It is an Islamist thing and Palestinian TV, often subsidised by the United Nations and European Union, is full of it.
In regular drama directed at kindergarten-aged children, children are taught that martyrdom is a beautiful state to aspire to, that suicide bombers are heroes and heroines and that even cartoon characters can sing and dance and murder their way into paradise.
Palestinian Media Watch and the Middle East Media Research Institute have been documenting this extraordinary perversion in recent years.
Among the scripts translated from Arabic is a cute story of the four-year-old daughter of female suicide bomber Reem Riyashi, shown singing to her dead mother and swearing to follow in her explosive footsteps. The video clip, aired on Hamas TV, depicts the little child asking her mother what she is carrying (it is explosives) and why she is putting on a hijab. All is made clear when the local newspaper (and headstone) reveals that mummy dearest was no soccer-mum but indeed a bomber-mum.
“Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands. Only now, I know what was more precious than us . . . may your steps be blessed,” the little girl sings.
“Send greetings to our Messenger (Mohammed) and tell him: ‘Duha loves you.’ My love will not be (merely) words. I am following Mummy in her steps.”
At which point she finds some explosives her bomb-loving mum left in a drawer and picks up a stick, happily singing: “Oh Mummy, Oh Mummy.”
Don’t think this is some aberration. Abhorrent agitprop is the currency of Palestinian children’s television programming, with even cartoon characters depicting martyrdom as a highly desirable goal.
In a regular show on Hamas TV early last year, giant rabbit “Assud” replaced his brother “Nahoul” - a giant bee who had died after failing to get into hospital in Egypt for surgery.
Assud told his young audience: “We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland. We will sacrifice our souls and everything we own for the homeland”, vowing also to “get rid of the Jews and eat them up”.
Regular viewers would recall Nahoul himself replaced “Farfour”, the Hamas mouse who was shown being “killed” on the show by an Israeli soldier in 2007.
Farfour Martyred Mouse
As the young female host Saraa Bahoum told her audience: “Yes, my dear children, we have lost our dearest friend Farfour. Farfour was martyred while defending his land, the land of his fathers and forefathers. He was martyred at the hand of criminals, the murderers, the murderers of innocent children who killed Iman Hijo, Muhammed Al-Dura and many others.”
The martyred mouse was more likely a victim of copyright lawyers who saw too close a resemblance to Disney’s Mickey Mouse but that wasn’t in the script.
The bee made that clear when he said: “I want to continue in the path of Farfour - the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, of the mujahidin. Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour. We will take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the killer of the prophets and of the innocent children, until we liberate Al-Aqsa from their impurity. We place our trust in Allah.”
Hamas Bee replaces Hamas Mouse
Indoctrinating children to become suicide bombers and human shields is a declared goal of Hamas, as Fathi Hamad, a representative of the terrorist organisation, proudly told the Palestine Authority Legislative Council last year.
“For the Palestinian people death became an industry at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel and the children excel,” Hamad said.
“Accordingly (Palestinians) created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: ‘We desire death as you desire life’.”
To ensure that the “death industry” doesn’t experience a slow-down, Hamas has placed its fighters in civilian homes, schools and hospitals.
It would be inhuman in the extreme not to feel sympathy for the children being used in this callous manner but it would be unintelligent not to ask why those who are exploiting them are not being called to account.

US Bloggers vent anger at former Australian PM Howard
Bloggers air Howard anger
News.com.au
January 08, 2009 12:10pm
US bloggers are up in arms over former Australian Prime Minister John Howard "bumping" president-elect Barack Obama from an official government guest house in Washington.
Mr Howard will stay at Blair House the night before he receives the US Medal of Freedom from retiring President George W Bush next week.
Mr Obama has been forced onto the Blair House waiting list until January 15 when he and his family will move in, five days before his inauguration as president.
The Obamas requested an early move-in at the 70,000-square-foot, 119-room mansion across the street from the White House, so their children could settle in to start school this week, The Washington Post reported.
But the incoming first family was told the residence had been booked out, so they took a suite at the nearby Hay-Adams Hotel.
President Bush has been the main target for criticism from bloggers to political sites.
"George couldn't make this idiot stay at the Hay-Adams?'' was one of 146 comments to The Caucus blog at the New York Times.
"Isn't Blair House big enough for everybody? Bush was just afraid nobody would pay any attention to him with Obama in the house,'' another said.
Mr Bush was accused of favouring a mate over a political rival.
"What makes it worse is that this administration is once again going out of it's way to do little favours for their friends at everyone else's detriment,'' a blogger to the Watergate Summer site said.
But not everyone was against the decision.
Jack Moss, host of The MacRanger Show on Blog Talk Radio, is defending the decision, saying President-elect Obama should wait in line like "ordinary folk''.
"Obama has done diddly squat for the country, as opposed to John Howard who supported the US and our efforts on the war on terror while Mr Obama talked down our efforts and called our troopers rapers and pillagers,'' he said."This is most fitting.''
The British broadsheet The Times reported that Britain's former prime minister Tony Blair, who is also to receive the Presidential Medal, declined an invitation to stay at Blair House because he didn't wish to be "the man who bumped Obama''.
He was expected to bed down at the British Embassy instead, The Times said.

"Hitler Didn't Do a Good Job" interesting chant coming from a follower of a Religion and cultural group that denies, the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews ever took place, so how many Jews do Muslims think Hitler should have slaughtered in world war two?
“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers—already, you see, the world had fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing was Christianity!—then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism,that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone.
Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

" Every Jewish child now a target " HAMAS leader Mahmoud Zahar
Hamas terror: every Jewish child now a target
John Lyons, Middle East correspondent
The Australian
January 07, 2009
HAMAS leader Mahmoud Zahar has warned that Jewish children are now legitimate targets, in a bloodcurdling precursor to tanks rolling into the Islamic militant stronghold of Khan Younis yesterday.
Zahar's threat of retaliation, in his first comments since the Israeli campaign began 11 days ago, came before tanks, firing cannons and machine guns and supported by helicopter gunships, moved into the city in the southern Gaza Strip.
The pre-dawn operation to open a third front came a day after troops andHamas militants fought pitched battles in Gaza City, in the north - where four Israelis were killed by tankfire in two friendly-fire cases, and on the edges of the Deir al-Balah and Bureij refugee camps in the centre. "They have legitimised the murder of their own children by killing the children of Palestine," said Zahar, in a video recorded from his hiding place in Syria and broadcast on Hamas's al-Aqsa television. "They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people."
The warning, delivered late on Monday, suggested a new round of suicide bombings inside and even outside Israel to avenge the deaths of at least 159 Palestinian children, killed since the campaign to take out Hamas rocket teams began with airstrikes on December 27.
Defence Minister Ehud Barak said last night that the strip had been cut in half and that Gaza City had been surrounded. The death toll on both sides rose as diplomatic initiatives failed to make progress on halting the fighting in the enclave of 1.5million people. The incursion into Khan Younis's eastern district of Abassan al-Kabira was the first time Israeli ground forces had entered the city since they poured into the territory on Saturday night.
The armoured force was met in Khan Younis by return fire from Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters. Artillery and airstrikes hit two UN schools in Khan Younis and Gaza City, one crowded with refugees, killing at least five people - bringing the Palestinian death toll since the campaign began to more than 580, of which the UN says a quarter are civilians.
In other pre-dawn clashes yesterday, fighting raged in the north around Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya, near Gaza City. In the eastern Gaza City district of Zeitun, a three-storey house belonging to a Hamas member with 30 people inside was destroyed by an airstrike. At least 12 people - seven of them children - were killed. They were all related. Despite the relentless air, ground and naval assault on their stronghold launched to stop rockets, a defiant Hamas continued to fire into Israel. One projectile travelled 45km, the deepest yet inside the Jewish state, lightly wounding a baby. Three others landed elsewhere without causing injuries.
Israel yesterday rejected separate ceasefire initiatives from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the European Union, saying the 11-day offensive in Gaza was an act of self-defence that would end only when Hamas stopped firing rockets into Israel. Before a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Mr Sarkozy said: "We in Europe want a ceasefire as quickly as possible, and that everyone understands that time is running against peace. The guns must fallsilent." Mr Olmert told Mr Sarkozy: "The results of the operation must be ... that Hamas must not only stop firing but must no longer be able to fire. We cannot accept a compromise that will allow Hamas to fire in two months against Israeli towns."
President Shimon Peres was more blunt to the EU delegation. "Europe must open its eyes," he said. "We are not in the business of public relations or improving our image. We are fighting against terror and we have every right to defend our citizens."
The heaviest fighting so far occurred as Israeli troops clashed with Hamas fighters in the Shejaiya district of Gaza City. Palestinian medical officials say at least 110 people have died since the ground assault began, while Israel says it has killed 130 Hamas fighters. The Israeli army said three soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade were killed and 24 wounded in northern Gaza when their position was accidentally hit by Israeli tank fire. The brigade commander, Colonel Avi Peled, was lightly injured. The army said a paratroop officer was killed in northern Gaza, indicating he may have been killed by friendly fire. "The details of the event are still being investigated; however, it is suspected that a tank shell was mistakenly fired at the force," it said in a statement.
The death brought to five the number of Israeli soldiers killed since the army poured ground troops into the Hamas stronghold on Saturday.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said people were dying because ambulances could not reach them amid the fighting. A foreign doctor at a Gaza hospital, Mads Gilbert, challenged Israel's claim that Hamas fighters were being targeted, saying that by his count 801 children had been injured or killed.
Dr Gilbert told the BBC last night: "The numbers are contradictory to everything Israel says. This is the worst man-made disaster for the time I can think (of)." Mr Sarkozy had a blunt message for both sides: Israel could not allow the humanitarian situation to go on and Hamas's firing of rockets on civilians in southern Israel was "unforgiveable".
