Shopping mall in West Bank taken over by troops
Toronto News.Net Tuesday 8th July, 2008
Israeli troops have stormed a shopping mall in the West Bank city of Nablus, after claiming the centre had been frequented by Hamas members.
The five-story mall, in one of the most popular spots in Nablus, was taken by the troops who entered shops and informed owners they would be closed down.
The order, signed by an Israeli general who oversees the West Bank, said the building would be closed on August 15th, giving shop owners more than a month to move their businesses.
Nablus serves as the West Bank's commercial center.
The mutli-storey mall in Hebron is owned by varied Palestinian interests, but the board of directors is chaired by a man who has links to Hamas.
The man, Adli Yaish, who is also the Mayor of Nablus, has been sent to an Israeli prison.
The overnight move was the latest in a widening crackdown on the militant Islamic group in the West Bank.
Hamas has condemned the Nablus operation as provocative, coming during the current cease-fire arrangement between both parties.
The raid came a day after Israeli troops swooped down on other alleged Hamas targets in Nablus.
They shut down a girls' school, a medical center and two other facilities of a Hamas-affiliated charity.

ICC Punishment is needed now! And all those that protect and aid the criminals are just as guilty! Also deserving to stand in the ICC for their accounting!

waca, Its clear you have never had...
... , or been the leader of an organization.
Question, how many times have you seen something 'good' and then went out to destroy it? You seem to think far beyond what it is you know in fact. Guessing as you have posted, is all right for a begining, but you seem very willing to end any thinking prematurely!
As the head of an organiztion, one of the lost duties by the bottom liners is too make the organization better! As such those efforts are not negative. Do you object to a stronger more honest government that is working for all the Peoples?
How sad you have lived as long as you claim and not figured out more than simple complaining! Simple single sight! Where is your ability to turn the rock over and understand there are bugs on that side?

Our lil cowardly poster sees the obvious...
... , but has no indignation! no anger! ro righteouness! no desire to remove those that soil his honor!
Likely he has no honor! As such is free to even steal a name and lie!
Of course all US Citizens share in the Guilt! Honest Americans that fought and stood next to those that died for that honor are angry as hell! Angry at those that lie and kill in Our Name!

waca makes a claim about my me/my posts, that I challenge
At 3:21 am he posted, 'I POST AS JUDGE AND JURY', to which I respond, name a single incident where I have done such.
I believe and have said numerous times crimes have been committed against Our Constitution, and that indiduals, should be must be 'Prosecuted for those Crimes'.
Poor waca has turned the demand for a Trial into no Trial just a conviction! A conviction based on what I said, rather than the evidence that would be presented under the Rule of Law, that I believe in!
Is waca upset? I would say so! Too bad waca! Take a dose of honesty and go to bed, you were up too late!

I believe your right GWBush and DCheney deserve a stay in an America court right after an impeachment hearing.
Note an American court if it can be proven they violated our Constitution!
Not sure where you get the idea they need to stand in front of the ICC gang since the violation was of US law.

Events! begining in Jan. 2001, of the bush administration...
... , are what have convinced me that the ICC is the appropriate place for an Honest Trial.
Two major reasons; 'Contamination', of Our Federal Courts, and the Attorney General’s Office.
Secondly, War Crimes are the Major/Majority of Crimes.
Because Our legal system has not lifted the tiniest finger to uphold Our Constitution for 7 + years, and the 'violations' have been supported in Our Courts, there is no way the 'victims' will receive a fair prosecution effort. Victims world wide and including the US Citizens I count as Victims also!
There are Crimes that should be brought in the US Courts, and after a period of rehabilitation Our Courts will do fine with. I believe it will take about three to four years for the ICC to complete the War Crimes Trials, and by then Our Courts will be able to be fair once again. Crimes like the abuse of Our Government Office in the single sourcing of contracts that are required by law to be competitively bid! There is a string of people that must be brought to Justice for those crimes. I believe only one person resigned, and she was prosecuted or threatened to prevent her being 'heard’about the wrong doing going on!
The Department of Justice needs a thorough house cleaning prior to any trials regarding the crimes of the lil bush administration.
These are the core reasons of my position for the ICC Trials.

Again under the Constitution he deserves a jury by his peers.
By declaring what you have declared you will have denied him HIS rights that in effect makes you a facist and no better then what you claim you don’t like about the Bush gang.
I disagree with the premise you have set forth.
I also believe the entire Congress, Senate, and Supreme court need a complete vetting to ensure they still have the peoples best interests at heart.
If they are found to be beholden to foreign powers or criminal organisations they should be immediately thrown out of office.

The US Constitution has as Part of its Laws...
... , use of War Crimes Trials. Sending US Persons to Justice in a War Crimes Court does not violate the Constitution nor the rights of a US Citizen.
Per se Murdering an Iraqi in Iraq is not a violation of the US CONSTITUTION covering murder. Doing so may well violate other laws in the Constitution, and they most likely will be lesser crimes, and should be placed behind the war crimes of murder.
In Jan 2001 bush administration was already pulling the US out of the ICC. There is a very strong argument that the unsigning of the ICC TREATY was an act of conspiracy to prevent his own prosecution, thereby nullifying the unsigning. So the New President could can arrest the gang, pack the gang off to ICC, submit the Treaty to Congress for ratification.
Or, simply send the gang off to ICC a FORMAL Iraqi War Crimes Tribunal is commissioned. In all likelihood such a Tribunal would be authorized at the request of the US President, or a concurrence to an Iraqi Request.
There are two members of the gang that now sit on Our Supreme Court. There are more members of the gang that sit in the Appeals Courts, and there are more that sit on the Federal Benches. More gang members are part of the staff of the Department of Justice.
Yes fair trials for the accused is part of Our Constitution, And fair trials for the citizenry is also Part of the Constitution. One cannot be voided by the other. Nor HAMSTRUNG! Sending the Gang off to War Crimes Trials is a Ratified part of Our Law.
Bush’s claim for unsigning the treaty was not that the ICC Court was illegal or against the Constitution. His argument always was 'he did not trust' the Court to be fair to an American Soldier.
When Our Justice Department is 'cleansed' the Trials regarding uniquely US Violations, such as failure to maintain the records of Our Presidency, The conspiracy to cover up former crimes of Prior Administrations, and the planned institution to Torture are examples of trials that should only be faced in US Courts with full protections to the accused and the victims.

As part of our conversation has caused some questions...
... . Who would you trust to rehabilitate Our Department of Justice?
Certainly Bill Clinton or James Baker would raise a din of screams! And finding a person capable would be almost the same problem as the one sought to be solved!
It kinda shocks me who it is I would try first! A job for a fool, yet still having an intelect to do the 'Job'!
jerry springer might just be capable! But what a show that would be! The only person close to the 'dislike' I have is ken star. Rehabilitating is an all new adventure for US Politics!
And In my opinion neither McCain or Obama have the ability. If either becomes Our Next President is still a slide, only one is a lil less steep.

I trust no one that is part of the trilateral commision.
Do we have anyone left with integrity?
Anyone left not bought off by foreign money or special interests groups?
It may be that it will require a common man to step up and lead we certainly have another dark four years ahead of us regardless of which stooge is elected.
Judicial tyrrany is being foisted off on the American public.
