GAZA (Reuters) – Israeli troops backed by air strikes fought to seize ground from Hamas militants deep inside the Gaza Strip on Monday despite international calls for a ceasefire in a conflict that has killed more than 540 Palestinians in 10 days.
Israel's defense minister said the operation, aimed at stopping Hamas rocket attacks on southern Israel, could get more difficult before the mission was accomplished.
Hamas vowed to fight on in "every street, every alley" and threatened to fire more rockets across the border into Israel. .. MORE

Boycott USA!
Rocky's Bru dalam blognya melaporkan tentang saranan Tun Dr. M supaya rakyat Malysia memboikot mata wang dan produk keluaran Amerika sebagai uasaha memprotes dan menyelamatkan Palestine. Saya rasa sudah sampai masanya kita jangan sekadar berdemontrasi pada hari Jumaat sahaja untuk menyokong Palestine dan membantah kekejaman Israel cum Amerika. Apa kata kalau kita kumpul sokongan dan bantuan kewangan membantu rakyat Palestine khususnya di Gaza malalui bantahan secara SMS!. Wang yang terkumpul boleh digunakan untuk membeli perubatan dan peralatan yang diperlukan untuk menyelamat mangsa kekjaman Israel cum Amerika.
PUTRAJAYA: The world community should boycott the United States’ currency and products to pressure the superpower to stop supporting the violent attacks by Israel against Palestine, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.
The former prime minister said while governments might not be able to support the move as many were “scared stiff” of the superpower, the people could play their part to “save Palestine.”
Malaysia has been taking a consistently strong stand on the Palestinian issue since back when, especially when Dr M was the PM and he had Abdullah Badawi as his Foreign Minister. It's heartening to note that Malaysia is taking the lead when the PM this morning called for a Special UN sitting to discuss Israel's invasion of Gaza.

Bush blames Hamas for Gaza conflict
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. President Bush laid the blame for recent fighting in Gaza squarely at the feet of Hamas, accusing militants of waging a campaign of violence against Israel with little regard for its people.
"Since Hamas' violent takeover in the summer of 2007, living conditions have worsened for Palestinians in Gaza," Bush says in prepared remarks released Friday by the White House. "By spending its resources on rocket launchers instead of roads and schools, Hamas has demonstrated that it has no intention of serving the Palestinian people."
In a radio address to air Saturday, Bush says Hamas committed an act of terrorism when it renewed rocket attacks into Israel last month, provoking this week's airstrikes by Israel.
"In response to these attacks on their people, the leaders of Israel have launched military operations on Hamas positions in Gaza," Bush says. "As a part of their strategy, Hamas terrorists often hide within the civilian population, which puts innocent Palestinians at risk."
Palestinian medical sources said Friday that at least 421 people have been killed and 2,200 wounded in Gaza since Israeli air raids began December 27. .. MORE
