Lebanon refugees talk to Al Jazeera
Thousands of Palestinian refugees continue to flee Nahr al-Bared refugee camp after three days of clashes between the Lebanese army and Fatah al-Islam. More than 80 people have died in what has been described as Lebanon’s worst case of internal fighting since the 1975-1990 civil war.
Al Jazeera spoke to Palestinians from the embattled refugee camp about the clashes they have endured and the destruction they are slowly coming to terms with.
Murtaja El-Hajj, 38, UNRWA sanitation officer
"This is a repeat of the 1948 Palestinian Nakbha, when the state of Israel was created," el-Hajj said.
El-Hajj was born at Nahr al-Bared refugee camp and now lives there with his wife and children.
He said he refuses to leave his home because he has nowhere else to go.
"As long as my family is OK I will stay put," he said, speaking from his ground floor apartment, surrounded by his wife and children, brothers and neighbours.
About 50,000 refugees live in the camp and as many as 10,000 Palestinians have fled to the nearby Beddawi refugee camp.
Others have travelled to Tripoli, and many have gone to stay with their families in neighbouring towns.
El-Hajj said a "tranquil calm" loomed over the refugee camp after sporadic fire dominated the early hours of Wednesday morning.
With no drinking water, infant milk, electricity or running water, residents of the camp are suffering.
"Medical supplies are scarce. The few clinics in the refugee camp are functioning with no anaesthetic as we speak," el-Hajj said.
Scent of death
"The smell of dead corpses is overwhelming," he told Al Jazeera.
"This has been a grave massacre. There are dead people collapsed under rubble and we have no way of getting them out."
Mosques, schools and clinics have been destroyed. Even the graveyard was shelled, exposing once-buried human bones.
El-Hajj said that UNRWA aid trucks were bombed yesterday and an electric generator provided by relief agencies to generate water supplies has been destroyed.
"We are not against the Lebanese army, but why should we, as civilians, suffer? We want the world to see what's happening to us," he said.
Fadwa Sanadaqa, 23, university student
Sanadaqa evacuated Nahr al-Bared refugee camp on Tuesday evening along with her brother, Ahmad, also a university student.
"We got into a pick-up truck with our neighbours, we covered ourselves in a blanket and held out a white flag, to keep the snipers away," she said.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, from her new whereabouts in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, she described the fear she encountered in the past three days.
Fatah al-Islam snipers had taken over the roofs of many of the houses in the camp.
"They would aim at the Lebanese army from our roofs and above our garages so that the army fire back at us and they did," she said.
People in the camp are starving and the aid is not reaching everyone, Sanadaqa said.
She hopes things will get better so that she can go back to the camp and just check up on her grandfather's house where, she was staying with her brother.
But she will never go back to live there, even if it "becomes safe to go back".
Faisal Ashkar, Nahr al-Bared refugee camp
Ashkar who has also been witness to the past three days of violence, spoke to Al Jazeera on Wednesday.
He left Nahr al-Bared refugee camp on foot last night and made his way to the neighbouring Beddawi refugee camp.
He condemned the Palestinian authorities for not caring enough and not portraying to the outside world just how much the Palestinians are suffering.
"The Palestinian authority has not given honest statements of the last few days of violence," he said.
"We do not need food or water, who needs that when their house has been destroyed?"
Ashkar has been unable to reach his family members as most communication has been lost.
He described the state of the camp to be in "total destruction" when he left.
Communication with Ashkar was lost, as his mobile phone battery ran out, and Al Jazeera was unable to complete the interview.

Racist assaults are on the rise in Germany
Black Man Beaten, Stabbed for Speaking English
The long list of racially motivated assaults in Germany has just got longer with the beating and stabbing of a Ghanaian man caught speaking English outside a night club in an eastern town on Friday night.
An African man was beaten and stabbed by three German teenagers outside a nightclub in the latest of a long series of racist attacks in eastern Germany.
Police said the 22-year-old man, named only as Daniel G., had enraged the three 18-year-old men because he had been speaking English to his girlfriend. The doorman of the nightclub in Nauen near Berlin had refused to let him into the club and he was talking to his girlfriend about it when the three assailants approached him.
"Why are you speaking English, Nauen is in Germany," one of them shouted, the newspaper Bild reported. Another man pushed him to the ground and they started kicking him. One of them pulled out a knife and stabbed him.
Police said the victim, a trainee retailer from Ghana who has lived in Berlin for over four years, managed to defend himself with pepper spray. He and his girlfriend fled to the railway station with the attackers in pursuit but police arrived in time to stop them attacking him again. The victim was taken to hospital with a stab wound to the kidney but it wasn't deep enough to be life-threatening.
Two of the attackers were caught and confessed to the attack. They face assault charges but have been granted conditional release pending the court case. The third assailant faces no charges because he was deemed to have played only a minor role.
Racially motivated attacks are a frequent occurrence in Germany, especially in the eastern part (the former German Democratic Republic) where far right/fascist parties are now represented in three of the region's five federal states.
The domestic intelligence agency recorded a total of 919 assaults motivated by far-right extremism/racism (i.e. fascisism) last year, up from 816 in 2005 (according to the Ministry of Interior).
Well, while last week's news were full with reports about the daily street battles (mainly between Hamas and Fatah, the two parts of the Palestinian "Unity Gov't") in Gaza, now - since last Friday - the news are dominated by the daily IDF/IAF attacks against targets in the Gaza Strip.
Actually nobody was able to stop last week's street battles there, despite several "ceasefire agreements".
So Hamas in the middle of last week took the initative: they resumed officially the rocket attacks against Israeli cities and villages. The aim: to provoke the resumption of Israeli military operations in Gaza. Hamas and other militants seem convinced that only an Israeli invasion of Gaza is the best plan of action, no matter the cost. In interviews with both Islamic Jihad and Hamas militant commanders over the past month, the Observer (UK) learned that both groups badly want to draw Israel into a protected ground combat in a reinvasion of Gaza for political and military reasons.
Ha, and it was - what a surprise!! - working! Since the IDF/IAF operations against targets in the Gaza Strip the clashes between the Palestinian "resistance" organisations were/are extremely decreasing, almost ended.
Yeah, of course this kind of tactic is complete objectionable - but has been working. At least until now. Because even this will bring the Palestinian cause not to solution, not at all (but who cares??!!).
But finally everyone, at least in Gaza, is remembering now the REAL enemy: ISRAEL.
And everyone will now find (back) to the "good old", but also "brand new" tactics of "resistance". For example the Islamic Jihad: the organization released last weekend a video clip in which a high-ranking Jihad official said that his organization has prepared dozens of female suicide bombers who were eager to blow themselves up along with IDF infantry troops if if Israel was to enter and operate in the Strip.
One of the women in the clip said that she would like to be the first to commit suicide on behalf of the Palestinian resistance against Israel.
She said that she was jealous of the suicide bombers who "received Allah's help in fulfilling successful missions, and we wish to follow in their footsteps. The enemy will be defeated if it invades the Strip."..
And Hamas' "new" idea: Israel will be wiped off the map

Meanwhile another group of the (int'l) Palestinian "resictance" - in this case in Tripoli/Lebanon is trying to get the "sympathy" of the local and int'l audience. Right now CNN is broadcasting pictures from the ongoing battle between the Lebanese Army and the Palestinian"Fatah al-Islam".

5.15 - The Day of Palestinian Unity (aka "Nakba Day")
Today in the morning Palestinians in Gaza awoke to the sound of gunfire at different points around the coastal strip as the warring factions, Fatah and Hamas, accused each other's forces of breaking a ceasefire reached late Monday..
Fatah and Hamas, the main forces of the Palestinian "resistance" seem to practice a very special kind of the "Gov't of National Unity"..
Well, following just some of the "highlights" of the latest developments in Gaza:
11 killed in Fatah-Hamas clashes (Yedioth Ahronoth)
Palestinians report Hamas gunmen attacked Presidential Guard's training camp near Karni crossing, with rising death toll. Eyewitnesses say many killed and injured, some by IDF fire. Fatah accuses Hamas of planning military coup
In the latest bout of infighting between Fatah and Hamas in Gaza on Tuesday, the death toll has risen to eleven, with Hamas apparently settling in for an exhaustive conflict.
Armed Hamas forced recently surrounded a Palestinian police center in northern Jabalia, while other armed Hamas forces barricaded themselves inside Gaza's Islamic University. Hamas officials warned that if the university is attacked, even "the house of (Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas) will not be safe."
Earlier in the day, Hamas gunmen attacked a Palestinian Presidential Guard's training camp near the Karni crossing. Eight people were killed and 20 were injured in the original attack. Another Palestinian officer who escaped toward the border fence was shot to death by IDF soldiers.
Hamas accused IDF soldiers of assisting the Presidential Guard officers. The officials said the Israeli army allowed a number of Fatah affiliated security officers to enter its territory to escape from a Hamas attacks. A Palestinian security official denied the report.
Fatah officials blamed both Hamas and the IDF for the incident, claiming that Hamas was planning a military coup in the Palestinian Authority.
The crossing, which is one of the Presidential Guard's main posts in the Gaza Strip and is also used as a Fatah training camp, was closed due to the exchanges of fire.
According to the reports, Hamas member attacked the post using mortar shells and then executed some of the Fatah members.
Three of shells landed on Israeli territory near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. There were no reports of injuries, but the shells caused slight damage.
Hamas members claimed that all the Palestinians killed in the incident were hit by an IDF shell. Army officials denied the accusation. Hamas said it would respond to the incident by firing Qassam rockets at Israel.
Hamas officials said that the attack was a response to the killing of Ibrahim Maniyeh, the commander of the organization's military wing in the Sajaiyah neighborhood located near the crossing.
Palestinians reported that all the men killed in the attack were members of the Palestinian Presidential Guard.
As for the Palestinian killed by IDF fire, the army reported that soldiers had spotted two suspicious Palestinians near the border fence, south of the Karni crossing. The force shot at them and hit them.
IDF sources confirmed that the two were apparently Palestinian police officers who fled the attacked post, but said that when the incident happened the troops suspected they were gunmen approaching the border fence.
The attack was carried out despite the great efforts exerted Monday night by Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to end the infighting between the rival Fatah and Hamas factions.
The attack proved once again that the Palestinian prime minister's had very limited control over his organization's military wing.
Due to the escalation in Gaza, universities in the Strip did not resume classes for the second day in a row. A Palestinian parliament session scheduled to take place Tuesday was cancelled.
The Karni crossing incident came after a long period of time in which the crossing had operated with almost no interruptions. The District Coordination Office (DCO) reported of a significant rise in the exports and imports of goods from and to Gaza, leading to a slight improvement in the Palestinian economy.
The IDF is looking into the clashes at the crossing. Security sources noted that Hamas was attempting to get Israel involved in the internal conflict by spreading testimonies that Israel allegedly helped Fatah.
The army will hold discussions on the future of the Karni crossing and will decide whether to reopen it on Wednesday. Military officials said that Hamas' takeover of posts located near the crossing could constitute a security risk.

Following story was one of last week's 'main' in'l 'news': "Hamas militants have enlisted the iconic Mickey Mouse to broadcast their message of Islamic dominion and armed resistance to their most impressionable audience -- little kids.
A giant black-and-white rodent -- named 'Farfour,' or 'butterfly,' but unmistakably a Mickey ripoff -- does his high-pitched preaching against the U.S. and Israel on a children's show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas." (AFP, 5.08)
Well, watch some parts of the recent TV show here!
Following are some excerpts from some recent "shows":
Farfur: “We are setting with you the cornerstone for world leadership under Islamic leadership. Isn’t it so, Saraa’?”
Saraa’: “Yes, our beloved children.”
Farfur: “You must be careful regarding your prayer and to go to the mosque for all five [daily] prayers. I say, in the mosque and in the first rows, until we can lead the world.”
Saraa’: “We remind you that we, the great ones, started this program to lead this world. The nucleus, with the will of Allah, will be from here, from Palestine. We will carry the concern of this [Islamic] nation that awaits us.”
Farfur: “From Palestine, oh Saraa’, what do you mean? From Gaza, Jerusalem, Ramallah, or from all of Palestine?”
Saraa’: “Yes, from all of Palestine" [i.e., includes Israel –editors].
Farfur: “If so, my beloved young ones, with the will of Allah, we will lead the nation from here, from Palestine.”
Saraa’: “Our beloved children, many say that we had glory [in the past], and we had culture, and the Muslims had greatness and respect. But with the will of Allah, we, tomorrow’s pioneers, will restore the glory of this nation.”
Farfur: “Yes, we, tomorrow’s pioneers, will restore to this nation its glory, and we will liberate Al-Aqsa, with Allah’s will, and we will liberate Iraq, with Allah’s will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers.”
Saraa’: “Yes, they are children occupied by the Jews, but with the will of Allah, we will resist and protect against the Zionist occupation.”
Farfur: “Until we win, with the will of Allah, we will resist until we win.”
[Al-Aqsa TV, April 16, 2007]
* * *
Saraa’: "…We remind you that we will lead this world, and the center of the leadership, with the help of Allah, praise him, is from here, Palestine, and will burst out across the world…"
Girl: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Boy: "Doctor."
Saraa': "You see, Farfur, everyone is ambitious and wants to lead the world. You… want to lead the world, Ahmad?"
Ahmad: "Yes."
Saraa': "It's important…"
Farfur to the girl: "Fatima, you hear me? What do you say to the prisoners in the prisons of the oppressive invading Zionist occupation…?"
[Esraa' sings a song, Farfur is delighted until the words] "…we will surrender ourselves…"
Saraa': "Esraa', it's not a good song. Why?"
Esraa': "Because it has surrender."
Saraa: "We don’t surrender, we want to resist against the enemy, isn't it so, Farfur?… We want to resist against the enemy, and we don’t want to surrender."
[Farfur compares Abu Jahal, who was the most prominent enemy of Muhammad in Mecca, to Sharon]
Farfur: "Allah willing, this country, its children, its men, its women and its elderly – will win – we will win, brothers. We will win, Bush! We will win, Sharon! Ah, Sharon is dead. We will win, Mofaz. Mofaz left. We will win, Olmert, we will win Condoleezza … we will win."
Saraa': [Final words] "…I remind you that we are the ones who will carry the concerns of this [Islamic] nation, and we will lead this world, and I remind you that Al-Aqsa and the prisoners are a responsibility on our shoulders, and Allah will ask us on Resurrection Day what we gave for their sake."

11 wounded in Fatah-Hamas gun battles in Gaza City
Palestinian medical officials reported that at least 11 people were wounded, four of them fatally, in exchanges of fire between Hamas and Fatah operatives in Gaza City Sunday. The violence erupted after two members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were killed, although Hamas denied any involvement in their deaths.

Today, in Moscow, was the funeral for B. Yeltsin - the world's most famous alcohilic (76 years old he died last Monday).
But he wasn't just a "funny", hard drinking person..
He was also responsible for major political/war crimes.
For example:
1991: While more than 75 per cent of the people in the Soviet Union/SU (except Moldavia, Georgia, Armenia and the Baltic Republics) voted for the preservation of the USSR, Yeltsin forced the complete destruction of the SU. ->(aka)THE REAL BEGINNING OF THE RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY!!
♦The reaction of the western "democracies" - NOTHING
1993: Yeltsin, after he was trying to get the total power over the Russian Federation, unconstitutional declared the dissolution of the Russian parliament.
The parliament was trying to resist, but Yeltsin ordered the army (several tank units) to crackdown the (actually democratic) resistance. Oct. 4 the army broke the resistance with extreme violence (the parliament B/D was bombarded by the troops).
At the same day more than 100 oppositionals were killed in a small stadium behind the parliament B/D (Berliner Zeitung, 4.24).
♦The reaction of the western "democracies" - NOTHING
1994: Yeltsin started the war against Chechniya. At least 80,000 people, mainly civilians were killed.
♦The reaction of the western "democracies" - NOTHING

M. Ahmadinejad's - aka the New Easter Bunny - Gift
Speaking at a news conference, it was just finished a few minutes ago, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he will pardon and set free 15 British sailors and marines being held in Iranian custody. "British troops granted pardons and will get presidential amnesty" (Ahmadinejad).
And just few days ago Iranian ("anti-imperialist") student activists were displaying in Tehran very "interesting, imaginative" ideas how to solve the problem:

Actually, according to CNN, they are already released and tomorrow they will fly back home.. (4:50 pm, CET)
BTW.. I don't believe the int'l, especially the British and US explanations for the latest developments: the "increasing int'l pressure on the regime in Tehran"(*). I just think that the entire development of the "hostage" (G.W. Bush) crisis - from the beginning until the end - was a perfect PR coup, created by the Iranian gov't.. (eh~ that's just my opinion!!).
* "We still don't know whether the Iranians received something in exchange, secretly, but what we saw openly is certainly significant. British Prime Minister Tony Blair simply threatened Ahmadinejad and his evil state that Britain would adopt harsher measures if the captives are not released within 48 hours.
And there you have it, despite the Iranian arrogance and all the big talk, the Iranian president caved in. Apparently he had no interest in getting entangled in a British military offensive or economic sanctions.", Uri Orbach wrote in his very strange, but also interesting (because it shows the way of thinking in important circles of the ruling class!!) article (☞ Winning war on evil) in the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

Venezuela - another point of view:
Opposition Against the "Bolivarian Revolution"
Of course it's wellknown that the US administration is (simply said^^) in a strong opposition against H. Chavez' project of the "Bolivarian Revolution" or the so-called "Socialism of the 21st Century". Their bourgeois collaborators in Venezuela - of course - are also fighting against it.
But just few years ago we'd to learn that even the (hard-core) orthodox communists in Venezuela (in contrast to their int'l sister organizations, such as the Communist Party of Germany/Red Morning, the former KPD/ML), like Partido Bandera Roja(Red Flag Party) were/are in direct opposition against Chavez' government.(*)
Now - just yesterday - I found an article written by anarchists in Venezuela and I'd to learn that they are also in complete opposition against the current system. For example they called for "election abstention" last December..

Last Thursday morning(7 a.m.) the Danish police and anti-terror units (!) started to attack the Ungdomshuset (self-ruled) Youth Center in Copenhagen. The residents of the neighborhood were warned via radio and television because of expected fights in the streets, to keep their distance from the neighborhood of Nørrebro, where the house is located. The media was already talking about violent actions, even before the eviction started...
Today, after nearly three days of mass demonstrations and street fights, the situation in Copenhagen is calm.. just as "normal"(aeh~ what the f.. hell is normal???). [*]
