Hamas has Now Shown a Perfect War Plan,
It Gets its Weapons to Kill from Islamic Iran,
Since Hamas Has Long Been Iran’s No. 1 Fan!
What about humanitarian food in Hamas Land?
Hamas Must Get Food to do What it has Planned,
Which is to kill every Jew down to the very last Man,
So it gets food supplied by the UN &West on Demand!
All Hamas needs is food in bellies and weapons in Hands,
To join in the future War extending from Beersheba to Dan!

UNRWA suspends Gaza aid after Hamas steals supplies
February 6, 2009
Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST
UNRWA informed the IDF on Friday that it is suspending its humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip after Hamas stole supplies the United Nations organization had transferred to the Palestinian territory.
The seizure of the 200 tons of supplies took place Thursday night and in response, UNRWA officials informed the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration that it was suspending its deliveries to the Gaza Strip until further notice. The supplies confiscated included flour and other basic commodities.
The transfer of 40 truckloads of humanitarian supplies – some 800 tons – planned for Sunday has already been canceled.
Officials in Jerusalem said the announcement by UNRWA constituted a UN approval and confirmation of Israel’s position, that Hamas is using the Palestinian population in gaza “cruelly and cynically” and is solely responsible for hardship there.
Welfare and Social Services Minister Isaac Herzog, who was appointed by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the end of Operation Cast Lead to coordinate Israel’s humanitarian effort in Gaza, told Israel Radio that theft of humanitarian aid exposes the true face of Hamas and of its supporters in Iran.
It was the second time this week that Hamas stole UN supplies transferred to the Gaza Strip for impoverished Palestinians.
The first incident took place Tuesday evening when armed Hamas police broke into a Gaza warehouse packed with UN humanitarian supplies and seized thousands of blankets and food packages.
The seizure took place after UNRWA staff earlier refused to hand over the aid supplies to the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Affairs.
“We received a phone call this morning from UNRWA officials that they have decided to suspend their deliveries after Hamas stole supplies from one of the organization’s warehouses in the Gaza Strip,” explained a senior official.
The official said that the IDF noticed the trend already during Operation Cast Lead last month, when despite the fighting, Israel transferred close to 80 trucks a day to the Strip.
Nuaf Atar, a Fatah operative captured during the operation, told the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) that Hamas government officials “took over” humanitarian aid Israel allowed in to the Gaza Strip and sold it when it was supposed to be distributed for free.
UNRWA Spokesman Sami Mshasha confirmed that the organization had suspended its deliveries to Gaza after Hamas stole its supplies.
“This is the second incident this week and this is a point of great concern for us and sets a bad precedent and if we are to provide services to people in Gaza after such an ordeal we need assurances that our work will be unimpeded,” Mshasha said. “We cannot subjugate our work to the Ministry of Social Affairs in Gaza.”

Barak: More Iranian ships bound for Gaza
DEBKAfile Special Report
February 5, 2009, 6:55 PM (GMT+02:00)
Although defense minister Ehud Barak did not confirm that the Iranian ships on their way to the Gaza Strip carry arms for Hamas – in a radio interview Thursday, Feb. 5, DEBKAfile’s military sources report
that Tehran is preparing to send a number of arms vessels to break the blockade on Gaza, encouraged by the failure of the US, Egyptian and Israeli navies to confiscate the arms aboard the Cypriot-flagged arms ships now docked at Limassol.
The Iranians calculate that while not all the ships may get through the Israeli naval blockade, one would suffice. Our sources report that some are already on the way. They are expected to enter the Gulf of Suez and waters opposite Gaza over the weekend and try to drop their cargoes of weapons containers off shore. Israeli warships and spy planes are tracking them.
At a special conference Thursday, Feb. 5, prime minister Olmert, foreign minister Tzipi Livni and the defense minister agreed to Iranian arms ships must be prevented from unloading its cargo, even at the cost of a marine clash with Iran.
Barak also disclosed that the Cypriot authorities are unloading the Iranian arms ship Monchegorsk renamed Iran Hedayt in Limassol harbor having discovered it is in contravention of the UN Security Council sanctions resolution 1747 which bans Iranian arms exports.
DEBKA file’s military sources disclosed it was carrying 10 containers of Iranian rockets and other weapons for rearming Hamas in the Gaza Strip in violation of Israel’s terms for accepting a Gaza ceasefire last month. Cyprus reported to the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on its findings in two inspections of the vessel but has not published them.
At stake now is the entire international effort to stop the Palestinian Islamists rearming – to which the US, Egypt and European nations are party.
THIS IS WHY ISRAEL IS CONCERNED ABOUT UN & WEST AID TO HAMAS

Israel: Gaza aid must not enrich Hamas
February 5, 2009
Haviv Rettig Gur , THE JERUSALEM POST
Israel is not opposed to foreign aid to reconstruct Gaza’s infrastructure, but is worried the funds and supplies could easily reach the hands of Hamas, a Foreign Ministry spokesman told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
“If the international community believes it can bring about a real reconstruction of Gaza, it has our blessing, but we don’t want the resources it will pour into Gaza to end up rebuilding the infrastructure of violence, the weapons and war machines [of Hamas],” said the ministry’s deputy spokesman Andy David.
Palestinian Author ity President Mahmoud Abbas, after a meeting w
ith British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in London on Thursday, called for the international community to continue the flow of aid into Gaza regardless of concerns over whether Hamas would pilfer it for its own purposes.
“There are many saying that this aid is being stolen,” Abbas said. “In spite of that, what we are saying is that the world must, must keep sending humanitarian aid.
Now, as far as reconstruction is concerned, reconstruction must start today – yes, today – through the international organizations and agencies.”
Abbas added Gaza’s reconstruction required some $15 billion in foreign assistance.
Brown pledged Britain would help the reconstruction efforts, and called on Israel to allow aid to reach the victims of the conflict, BBC reported.
“We are only now seeing the full extent of the problems we face,” he said. “We must do everything we can to help rebuild Gaza and to provide humanitarian aid to families whose lives have been shattered.”
Brown added that he had written Prime Minister Ehud Olmert this week urging him to allow full humanitarian access to those seeking to get food and medicines to those who need it.
But Israeli officials remain wary of the international organizations’ ability to keep the aid out of the hands of Hamas.
Just one day before the London meeting, United Nations Relief and Works Agency officials blasted Hamas for sending armed forces into a UN warehouse in Gaza to seize some 3,500 blankets and 400 food parcels funded by international donors.
The seizure took place after UNRWA staff refused to hand over the aid supplies to the Hamas-run Social Affairs Ministry, according to UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness. Similar aid packages were distributed to 70,000 residents over the past two weeks, Gunness said.
The incident called into question the ability of the international community to control where its assistance goes, said Israeli officials.
While certain international agencies, especially UNRWA and the Red Cross, “are capable of properly overseeing the distribution of the aid – which in any case won’t arrive in cash form – there is still a problem as long as Hamas is sovereign in Gaza,” said David.
“Nobody trusts Hamas, not us and not the international community.
We all know that Hamas uses its resources for developing military capabilities and not civilian infrastructure.
The same supplies can build greenhouses or Kassam [rocket] tubes,” he added.
The difficulty faced by the donors could be resolved if Gaza residents took the matter into their hands en masse, said David.
“The residents of Gaza can’t avoid some responsibility for this.
They are not helpless children. They have to make their voices heard. If the Palestinians want reconstruction, they have to demand that Hamas stop digging tunnels under their homes, and stop buying Katyushas, Kassams or explosives instead of provisions,” he said.
Also Thursday, Olmert approved the transfer of NIS 175m. to Gaza banks from PA coffers in the West Bank. The funds are intended to pay January salaries for PA workers in Gaza.
While the move has been criticized by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on the grounds that it could end up enriching Hamas, Olmert has defended the move
on legal grounds, saying the funds are PA monies that cannot be blocked by Israel. Such transfers are made monthly, with December’s receiving the approval of Barak himself, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
“Just to clarify, this is a technical transfer of currency in accordance with international agreements to which Israel is a party,” a spokesman for the PMO told the Post on Thursday. “This money belongs to the PA, not Israel.”
The PA continues to pay salaries to its former workers in the Gaza Strip to keep them from joining the Hamas government or security forces.
