Welcome to Peter Eyre's Space

Thank you for joining my space. The world is truly a remarkable and beautiful place but somehow we have lost our direction. Why can't we all get on together and live in peace? Why so much agression and no compassion or love for each other? Why do our leaders want to wage war in order to gain an economic advantage in controlling the natural resources of our planet? Why do such nations as the USA allow the manufacturing of weapons containing uranium components and yet profess that they are promoting disarmament? Who do they, the UK, European Countries and Israel insist in using these WMD's. I sincerely wanted to welcome you all in such a very nice and gentle way but I carry so much pain for the innocent men, women and children of past and current war zones that have sucumbed to these evil uranium weapons. We must all try to prohibit DU/EU or any other "Dirty Weapon" and learn to live in peace. We in the west have to close all bases that exist on Islamic soil and learn to trade instead of fighting. So I again welcome you to "Peter's Space" If you support war in any shape or form please do not enter my space. If you are a Christian Zionist or Jewish Zionist please do not enter my space. If however you are against war and any form of intimidation you are most welcome to take over my space.

Obama promised change and approves wall between Egypt and Gaza

Obama promised change and approves wall between Egypt and Gaza

The more we see of Obama the more we realize that he’s exactly the same breed as the previous past Presidents as he flexes his muscle once again in Afghanistan and now on Gaza, We have known for some time that Egypt had succumbed to US bribery in receiving generous aid in return for supporting US foreign policy and becoming a friend of Israel.

Who would ever have imagined that such a member of the Arab League and of Islamic faith could turn its back on their brother over the border? Who would ever have imagined that Egypt would sell it soul knowing the suffering taking place on the other side of the fence? How many times do we see other members of the League become “Westernized” and loose their direction spiritually? How can they profess to be good Muslims and allow this genocide to continue?

We have all seen the progression of the “Berlin Wall” in Palestine and now we see the final death knoll of an underground wall between Egypt and Gaza in an attempt to cut of their supply lifeline – the tunnels in Rafah. How can the US and Egypt live with their conscience and how did they manage to achieve this “Humanitarian Project” of giant proportions? What pressure was applied and who’s involved?

Egypt doesn’t want to take on full responsibility for Gaza and has always been under pressure from the US and Israel to stop weapons smuggling. Shortly after Barack Obama was inaugurated in January, just after the Gaza war, he promised help to Egypt to stop smuggling. Prior to Obama taking office the US Government gave $23m in military aid to the Egyptians and also sent in a team from the US Engineering Corps to train the Egyptians on the border with Gaza. Many concepts were dreamt up, one being a deep canal along the border to stop tunneling.
The idea of a canal or wall emerged some time ago when those evasive notorious war criminals Tzipi Livni (who favoured a canal), and the other war criminal and partner in crime Condoleezza Rice, discussed the issue of border control. In actual fact Rice took it a stage further when she said that Israel must agree to amend the 1978 peace treaty, so as to allow more Egyptian soldiers to be stationed along the border. Egypt wanted to double its force of 750 soldiers, to 1,500, but Israel opposed the plan. As I have said before, so much for Egypt being a sovereign state when it is totally controlled by the US and Israel. Oh well that’s what financial bribery can do!
It was in that same year that the US sent two senior figures over (Robert Danin of the State Department and Mark Kimmitt of the Defense Department); to Sinai to examine Egypt's handling of the problem first-hand. The US Engineering Corps also visited and they came up with the existing design which one would assume will resemble the picture on this page.
Egypt's new wall will be about six miles long and "impossible to cut or melt" Construction has already begun and that large sheets of steel would eventually be buried into the ground to an estimated depth of around 55 feet. The package comes with sophisticated surveillance equipment including infra-red and heat seeking camera etc. It is expected that yet again we will see the US take up a base near to the border in order to carry out a Joint Egyptian-American patrols on the Egyptian side of the border. There will be a perimeter road and I am sure that the US will control this border in much the same manner as their border with Mexico. One should ask the question is Egypt a sovereign state? Are we again seing another US base appearing on Islamic soil? Whatever the final outcome Egypt has truly lost its ethics and direction. How can this country ever look another Palestinian in the eye and welcome him as a “Brother or Habibi.” This problem should never have got to this stage and we again see the failings of the United Nations as it turn its back on the Palestinian problem and allow the US to take over its responsibility. I dare to imagine the consequences that could emerge in this distinct act of aggression by President Obama and the US Government.
As we all know these tunnels are the lifelines for Gaza and the only means of getting supply into Gaza due to the Israeli Blockade. The US, Israel and no doubt Egypt would hope that as a result of this new strangle hold the citizens of Gaza may turn against Hamas. It is obvious that the US and Israel in particular do not understand the spirit and strength of the people of Gaza. They will find a way to overcome the measures imposed by Obama and in their own way become stronger. Maybe I should use Gordon Brown’s favorite saying that this will strengthen their resolve!
The underground steel wall is intended to strengthen international governmental efforts to imprison and starve the people of Gaza into submission so they will throw out the Hamas government. It a pity that the UN doesn’t apply the same pressure to the US arms manufacturers and the US Department of Defense for allowing the illegal shipment of WMD’s to Israel.

It is very clear that there is such a striking similarity between the treatment handed out by the German on the Jewish community in the Warsaw Ghetto’s and that carried out by the US – Israel – Egypt on the people of Gaza. One should also add that another striking similarity exists between the old South African apartheid system and the Israel continued occupation and control of Gaza and West Bank. We are seeing these huge “Berlin Walls” emerge and even segregation between Palestinian villages along with all the hatred that goes with such an apartheid way of life. It has been repeated so many times that elements of the occupation, the wall, apartheid and collective punishment are contrary to international law. But hey, who cares? We are talking here about the Israeli Government who do not follow any international law.
When this wall is in place and should the US continue to build up its presence on the Egyptian side of the border with Gaza we are likely to see even more attacks carried out at Egyptian target for their collaboration with the US and Israel. If this should ever happen one has to point a finger at the United Nations and its timid leader Ban Ki-moon for allowing the people of Gaza to be further punished so cruelly. I would expect that any reasonable compassionate Egyptian citizen would hang their heads in shame over this entire episode.
