Violence has resumed in the Gaza Strip after a three-hour halt to attacks Israel termed a "humanitarian respite".The brief lull allowing Gaza's beleaguered residents to look for food and fuel was also followed by news that Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, had been given the green light by the security cabinet to order a deeper offensive into Gaza towns as part of its stated aim to halt Hamas cross-border rocket attacks.Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, chaired the security cabinet meeting in Jerusalem which "approved continuing the ground offensive, including a third stage that would broaden it by pushing deeper into populated areas," a senior defence official said.The final decision will be left with Barak, the official added.Israel has warned thousands of people in the Rafah zone on the Egyptian border to leave their houses ahead of planned air strikes."You have until 8am [06:00 GMT]," on Thursday, said leaflets which were dropped by the Israeli military.At least 700 Palestinians, including 219 children, have died in Gaza since Israel began its assault on December 27, and that number continues to climb. More than 3,080 people have also been wounded.Seven Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died in the same period.Soon after the three-hour lull on Wednesday, an Israeli air raid on a car in Beit Lahia, near Gaza's northern border with Israel, killed three children and their father, who was described as a civilian by medical workers in the besieged strip.Temporary lullPalestinians and aid workers in and around Gaza City had used Wednesday's brief respite to recover dead bodies, treat the wounded, and gather much-needed supplies in and around Gaza City.Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, announced "offensive" military action across the strip would be suspended for three hours every alternating day, although the timings may vary.Despite this, Israeli air raids were reported on other parts of the Palestinian territory during Wednesday's announced timeframe of 1pm-4pm (11:00GMT).Most of Wednesday's clashes occurred in northern Gaza, with explosions reported in Jabalya and Beit Lahia.In Gaza City, four people were killed and seven injured outside a Mosque in the Sheik Radwan neighbourhood.Two people were also killed earlier when the Zeitoun district was targeted from the air.Further south, air raids hit the towns of Khan Younis and Rafah, where over 20 houses were destroyed.No Israeli injuries have been reported on Wednesday after around eight rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel.Israel is facing mounting pressure to agree a ceasefire after an attack on a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) in the northern town of Jabaliya on Tuesday left 43 Palestinians dead and around 100 wounded.Doctors said all the dead were either people sheltering in the school or residents of the nearby Jabalya refugee camp.Israel claims missiles were fired from the UN building and that their troops were simply returning fire.Around 15,000 Palestinians have had to flee the fighting so far, but have found few safe havens, as Israel and Egypt continue to largely keep border crossings shut.Heba, a Gaza resident and mother of two, told Al Jazeera there was no place left in Gaza that can be considered safe."What happened in the school was a hugely offensive and inhumane thing. We never expected that people who sought refuge in a UN building would be attacked and killed," she said.While earlier attempts to agree a ceasefire resolution at the UN have so far floundered, a French-Egypt proposal appears to be gaining some support.The deal, which could include stationing international monitors at the Egyptian-Gaza border, has received qualified backing from the US and support from Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and leader of Hamas-rival Fatah.

Night time demonstration outside the BBC in protest of the bombing of Palestine. We live in hope that the fighting will stop and a peace deal will be worked out. This from the BBC: Israel has agreed "on the principles" of a Franco-Egyptian truce proposal, raising hopes of an end to its conflict with Palestinian militants in Gaza."The challenge now is to get the details to match the principles," Israeli spokesman Mark Regev said while Hamas detected "positive signs".Israel has resumed its bombardment of Gaza in a 12-day offensive which is said to have claimed nearly 700 lives.The UN Security Council seems deadlocked over the crisis.Arab countries want the Council to vote on a resolution calling for a ceasefire while Britain, France and the US are pushing for a weaker statement welcoming the Franco-Egyptian initiative.The US could well veto any vote as it is a permanent member of the Security Council, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan reports.US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the US supported the Franco-Egyptian initiative and that she had spoken to Arab ministers and the Israelis about moving forward on it.She added that the US did not want a ceasefire that would return Israel and the Palestinians to the "status quo" preceding the conflict.Palestinian health officials say at least 683 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3,085 injured since Israel began its offensive 12 days ago, according to the UN's humanitarian agency.SmugglingIsrael and Hamas have been under pressure to accept a diplomatic solution to the conflict, which began on 27 December.Israel wants to stop rocket attacks on southern Israel and to stop Hamas smuggling weapons into Gaza via Egypt, while Hamas says any ceasefire deal must include an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza.GAZA CRISIS BACKGROUNDSmoke rises over Gaza (06/01/2009)Profile: Gaza StripWho are Hamas?In pictures: Tunnel smugglersMiddle East conflict: History in mapsIsrael said it was not sure how long the diplomatic process would take and that a working arms embargo on Hamas was needed.BBC world affairs correspondent Paul Reynolds says Israel has always said that it will accept an outcome under which rockets and smuggling are stopped - but there is a potentially long gap between accepting principles and applying practice.Security sources have confirmed senior Israeli defence official Amos Gilad will travel to Cairo on Thursday to discuss ceasefire options.Rice: The US supports the Franco-Egyptian initiativePalestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is expected in Cairo a day later for talks.In a statement on Wednesday, France's President Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed "the acceptance by Israel and the Palestinian Authority" of the Franco-Egyptian ceasefire plan. The statement did not mention Hamas.Tony Blair, Middle East envoy for the Quartet of the UN, US, Russia and EU, told the BBC he was hopeful that the ceasefire proposal would succeed.The building blocks of a plan had been agreed but the details had still to be worked out, he said, which would take hard work over the coming days.The BBC's Jeremy Bowen on the Israel-Gaza boundary says the end may not be in sight yet, but there are now indications of what the two sides want from a ceasefire.A compromise on securing Egypt's border with Gaza, stopping the movement of weapons, and on opening border crossings between Israel and Gaza could give both Israel and Hamas something tangible, our correspondent says.But the problem from Israel's point of view is that Hamas would then be able to say that Palestinian resistance had forced Israel to lift the siege of Gaza, our correspondent adds, which is precisely what Israel - which seeks a severely weakened Hamas - does not want.BlockadeThe diplomatic developments came as Israel halted military operations in Gaza for three hours to create "humanitarian corridors" for supplies and fuel, the first of what an Israeli spokesman said would be a daily ceasefire.MapSmugglers' alley key to Gaza conflictGaza offensive - in mapsPoints of view on GazaIn pictures: Gaza conflict continuesNews agencies reported that Gaza residents had rushed out into the streets during the lull to stock up on food and visit relatives in hospital.A Hamas spokesman said that the group would not launch any missiles at Israeli targets during the lull.The respite was brief, however. The Israeli army says it attacked dozens of targets throughout the day and that more than 20 rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza.Israel has been criticised by aid agencies who have warned of a mounting humanitarian crisis for the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, who are unable to escape from the conflict because of Israel's blockade.

Published by Jews for Justice in the Middle EastAs the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational terrorists who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes — on both sides — inevitably follow from this original injustice.This paper outlines the history of Palestine to show how this process occurred and what a moral solution to the regions problems should consist of. If you care about the people of the Middle East, Jewish and Arab, you owe it to yourself to read this account of the other side of the historical record.IntroductionThe standard Zionist position is that they showed up in Palestine in the late 19th century to reclaim their ancestral homeland. Jews bought land and started building up the Jewish community there. They were met with increasingly violent opposition from the Palestinian Arabs, presumably stemming from the Arabs inherent anti-Semitism. The Zionists were then forced to defend themselves and, in one form or another, this same situation continues up to today.The problem with this explanation is that it is simply not true, as the documentary evidence in this booklet will show. What really happened was that the Zionist movement, from the beginning, looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the indigenous Arab population so that Israel could be a wholly Jewish state, or as much as was possible. Land bought by the Jewish National Fund was held in the name of the Jewish people and could never be sold or even leased back to Arabs (a situation which continues to the present).The Arab community, as it became increasingly aware of the Zionists intentions, strenuously opposed further Jewish immigration and land buying because it posed a real and imminent danger to the very existence of Arab society in Palestine. Because of this opposition, the entire Zionist project never could have been realized without the military backing of the British. The vast majority of the population of Palestine, by the way, had been Arabic since the seventh century A.D. (Over 1200 years)In short, Zionism was based on a faulty, colonialist world view that the rights of the indigenous inhabitants didnt matter. The Arabs opposition to Zionism wasnt based on anti-Semitism but rather on a totally reasonable fear of the dispossession of their people.One further point: being Jewish ourselves, the position we present here is critical of Zionism but is in no way anti-Semitic. We do not believe that the Jews acted worse than any other group might have acted in their situation. The Zionists (who were a distinct minority of the Jewish people until after WWII) had an understandable desire to establish a place where Jews could be masters of their own fate, given the bleak history of Jewish oppression. Especially as the danger to European Jewry crystalized in the late 1930s and after, the actions of the Zionists were propelled by real desperation.But so were the actions of the Arabs. The mythic land without people for a people without land was already home to 700,000 Palestinians in 1919. This is the root of the problem, as we shall see.
