Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        Palestinian group demands release of detained activists and delivery of construction materials


        Hamas refuses flotilla aid delivered by Israel



        The de facto Hamas government in Gaza has refused to accept truckloads of aid offloaded from the flotilla raided by Israeli forces earlier this week.

        According to officials in Gaza, Hamas has said it will not permit the supplies to enter the besieged territory until all detained activists are released and Israel agrees to deliver all aid consignments, including construction materials.

        Israel agreed to deliver the aid after it forcibly blocked the flotilla's passage to Gaza on Monday, in an assault by naval commandos that ended in the deaths of nine pro-Palestinian activists.

        But construction materials, which Israel claims could be seized by militants for use in making weapons and building underground bunkers, were excluded.

        The flotilla was thought to be carrying about 8,000 tons of cement and other materials which have been barred by Israel since it tightened its blockade on the Gaza Strip three years ago.

        Thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed during the three-week Gaza war in 2008-9. The embargo on building materials has left families living in tents, crowded in with relatives or forced to move in to expensive rented accommodation.

        "Israel brought five truckloads of wheelchairs to the crossings, but Hamas turned them back," said the official in Gaza City. "It all went back to Ashdod."

          Hamas wants raw materials in Gaza



          Ministers reject Israel's relaxation of food restrictions.
          Talkbacks (32)

          Hamas leaders said they will not let newly approved food items into the Gaza Strip as long as Israel maintains its blockade of the territory.

          Israel slightly eased the blockade on Wednesday by permitting snacks, spices, juices and some other previously banned food items into Gaza.


          On Wednesday, Palestinian liaison official Raed Fattouh, who coordinates the flow of goods into Gaza with Israel, said that soda, juice, jam, spices, shaving cream, potato chips, cookies and candy were now permitted. Some products have already entered Gaza, and others would cross in the coming days, he said.

          The ban remained in place on all construction and industrial materials.

          Hamas' economy minister, Ziad al-Zaza, said on Thursday that Gaza does not need soda and soft drinks.He said it needs raw materials so shuttered factories can start producing their own products.

          Diplomatic officials, keen on disassociating the recent ease on the Gaza ban from last week’s flotilla raid, stressed that Israel has steadily expanded the quantity of goods going into Gaza by some 20 percent over the last six months, and in parallel increased the diversity of the items allowed in.

          “Our principle is clear,” one senior official said. “To prevent weaponry and material from reaching Gaza that could help Hamas, but at the same time to allow the transfer of civilian goods to Gaza’s civilian population.”

          The official said that as long as Hamas declares war on Israel, as long “as it considers every Israeli civilian a legitimate target,” Israel reserved the right to maintain economic sanctions on the Gaza Strip.

          “Sanctions are a perfectly legal and legitimate tool in a situation of conflict,” the official said, “and whoever says it is collective punishment does not know what they are talking about. No one can expect that business will continue as usual with the Hamas regime.”

          “We will not allow everything in, since Gilad Schalit is still held in Gaza and Hamas is still attacking us,” he added.

          The defense representitive said that the decision to allow new foods into Gaza was part of a policy led by Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Eitan Dangot, who has put an emphasis on working with international organizations on civilian-related projects. Officials said that there were currently 10 projects under way between the IDF and various international organizations in Gaza, for which Israel was also permitting the entry of cement and building materials.

          'Israel's measures to help Gaza fall short'

          But according to Sari Bashi, executive director of Gisha – The Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, the IDF measures fall far short of what the people in Gaza need.

          Before the closure of the land passages in 2007, 10,400 truckloads of goods went into Gaza each month, Bashi said.

          In the past year, less than 25% of that amount has entered the Strip, an average of 2,300 truckloads a month, she said.

          When one compares truckloads from June to November 2009 with those from December 2009 to May 29, 2010, the increase is only 2%, she said.

          Bashi said none of the IDF measures would allow for a revival of the Gazan economy, which would be necessary to restore normal life in the area.

          One government source said that by easing up on what is allowed into Gaza, Israel aims to preserve the naval blockade.

          The Gaza naval blockade is seen as critical to Israel’s national security, and as a result – the official said – Israel was willing to be more forthcoming regarding what goods can go overland into the area, in order to deflect international pressure over the naval blockade.

              See that little strip of land in the lower left corner of the map of Israel. There are 1.5 million people on that land being held prisoner.

                I've already stated my beef with Israel over that so you're trying to convince me of something I already agree with you on. However, Israel's treatment of Civilians /=/ Israel the only one doing anything wrong. You're so blinded by Israel's injustices, you refuse to see the injustices of the other side and you pretend this is a conflict of pure evil against pure good.
