WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

لقد كتبت رسالة إلى رئيسة العصابة الصهيونية ''ليفني'' وعدد من مساعديها، باللغة الفرنسية هذا نصّها:
Oui Mme Livni, et vous autres,
Les circonstances ne me permettent pas de vous souhaiter bonjour ou bon soir, et vous savez pourquoi. A défaut je prononce le salut de Moïse adressé au Pharaon ‘’salut sur celui qui suit le bon chemin’’. Peu importe Madame! Mais le bonheur ne se fait jamais sur les cadavres des enfants et des femmes isolées. Un enfant est un enfant, quelque soit son origine. Il est inadmissible que le Bon Dieu vous pardonne. Nous savons que vous êtes juive, mais vous êtes laïque, votre laïcisme ne vous permet pas de veiller sur les recommandations divines, mais au moins soyez humaine.
Vous allez crever un jour mais votre peuple est entouré, ni les Etats Unis ni l’Europe ne seront capables de le défendre. Le Bon Dieu n'est pas de votre côté non plus, et vous n'êtes plus LE PEUPLE ELU DU BON DIEU parce qu'on connaît la vraie description du Peuple Elu. Tout d’abord, il épargne les enfants, les femmes et les lieux de cultes.
Tout le monde sait que vous n'êtes pas en mesure d'affronter le Hamas et ses hommes, donc votre cause s'avère injuste.
Je m’adresse à vous personnellement. Il faut bien se mettre à l’évidence, que le Bon Dieu n’a pas de couleur ni de parti. Il a créé le bien et le mal. Le mal et mal quelque soit son origine et ainsi pour le bien qui est Bien quelque soit l’hauteur. Essayez de creuser dans le sens des contradictions contenues dans les recueils de textes sur lesquels se base vos convictions. Et pensez surtout à votre destin ! La vie est très courte, et votre destin est incertain, gardez bien cette dernière phrase entête, où est passé Charon ?

Pls visit (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=11680) for story details
The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.
This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.
British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon's Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 percent); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 percent); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 percent). (Haaretz, October 21, 2007 The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.(Middle East Economic Digest, Jan 5, 2001The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. (See Map below). It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine, The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine's gas reserves could be much larger)
Who Owns the Gas Fields
The issue of sovereignty over Gaza's gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine , The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza's offshore gas reserves. British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields. The election of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001 was a major turning point. Palestine's sovereignty over the offshore gas fields was challenged in the Israeli Supreme Court. Sharon stated unequivocally that "Israel would never buy gas from Palestine" intimating that Gaza's offshore gas reserves belong to Israel , In 2003, Ariel Sharon, vetoed an initial deal, which would allow British Gas to supply Israel with natural gas from Gaza's offshore wells. (The Independent, August 19, 2003) The election victory of Hamas in 2006 was conducive to the demise of the Palestinian Authority, which became confined to the West Bank, under the proxy regime of Mahmoud Abbas. In 2006, British Gas "was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt." (Times, May, 23, 2007). According to reports, British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on behalf of Israel with a view to shunting the agreement with Egypt. The following year, in May 2007, the Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "to buy gas from the Palestinian Authority." The proposed contract was for $4 billion, with profits of the order of $2 billion of which one billion was to go the Palestinians , Tel Aviv, however, had no intention on sharing the revenues with Palestine. An Israeli team of negotiators was set up by the Israeli Cabinet to thrash out a deal with the BG Group, bypassing both the Hamas government and the Palestinian Authority ¸ Israeli defence authorities want the Palestinians to be paid in goods and services and insist that no money go to the Hamas-controlled Government." (Ibid, emphasis added), The objective was essentially to nullify the contract signed in 1999 between the BG Group and the Palestinian Authority under Yasser Arafat , Under the proposed 2007 agreement with BG, Palestinian gas from Gaza's offshore wells was to be channeled by an undersea pipeline to the Israeli seaport of Ashkelon, thereby transferring control over the sale of the natural gas to Israel. the deal fell through. The negotiations were suspended: Mossad Chief Meir Dagan opposed the transaction on security grounds, that the proceeds would fund terror". (Member of Knesset Gilad Erdan, Address to the Knesset on "The Intention of Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Purchase Gas from the Palestinians When Payment Will Serve Hamas," March 1, 2006, quoted in Lt. Gen. (ret.) Moshe Yaalon, Does the Prospective Purchase of British Gas from Gaza's Coastal Waters Threaten Israel's National Security? Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, October 2007) Israel's intent was to foreclose the possibility that royalties be paid to the Palestinians. In December 2007, The BG Group withdrew from the negotiations with Israel and in January 2008 they closed their office in Israel.(BG website).
Invasion Plan on The Drawing Board
The invasion plan of the Gaza Strip under "Operation Cast Lead" was set in motion in June 2008, according to Israeli military sources: Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago [June or before June] , even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas."(Barak Ravid, Operation "Cast Lead": Israeli Air Force strike followed months of planning, That very same month, the Israeli authorities contacted British Gas, with a view to resuming crucial negotiations pertaining to the purchase of Gaza's natural gas: Both Ministry of Finance director general Yarom Ariav and Ministry of National Infrastructures director general Hezi Kugler agreed to inform BG of Israel's wish to renew the talks The sources added that BG has not yet officially responded to Israel's request, but that company executives would probably come to Israel in a few weeks to hold talks with government officials." (Globes online- Israel's Business Arena, June 23, 2008) The decision to speed up negotiations with British Gas (BG Group) coincided, chronologically, with the planning of the invasion of Gaza initiated in June. It would appear that Israel was anxious to reach an agreement with the BG Group prior to the invasion, which was already in an advanced planning stage , Moreover, these negotiations with British Gas were conducted by the Ehud Olmert government with the knowledge that a military invasion was on the drawing board. In all likelihood, a new "post war" political-territorial arrangement for the Gaza strip was also being contemplated by the Israeli government. In fact, negotiations between British Gas and Israeli officials were ongoing in October 2008, 2-3 months prior to the commencement of the bombings on December 27th In November 2008, the Israeli Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Infrastructures instructed Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) to enter into negotiations with British Gas, on the purchase of natural gas from the BG's offshore concession in Gaza. (Globes, November 13, 2008)
"Ministry of Finance director general Yarom Ariav and Ministry of National Infrastructures director general Hezi Kugler wrote to IEC CEO Amos Lasker recently, informing him of the government's decision to allow negotiations to go forward, in line with the framework proposal it approved earlier this year. The IEC board, headed by chairman Moti Friedman, approved the principles of the framework proposal a few weeks ago. The talks with BG Group will begin once the board approves the exemption from a tender.

Gaza and Energy Geopolitics

The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law. What can we expect in the wake of the invasion What is the intent of Israel with regard to Palestine's Natural Gas reserves? A new territorial arrangement, with the stationing of Israeli and/or "peacekeeping" troops? The militarization of the entire Gaza coastline, which is strategic for Israel? The outright confiscation of Palestinian gas fields and the unilateral declaration of Israeli sovereignty over Gaza's maritime areas? If this were to occur, the Gaza gas fields would be integrated into Israel's offshore installations, which are contiguous to those of the Gaza Strip These various offshore installations are also linked up to Israel's energy transport corridor, extending from the port of Eilat, which is an oil pipeline terminal, on the Red Sea to the seaport - pipeline terminal at Ashkelon, and northwards to Haifa, and eventually linking up through a proposed Israeli-Turkish pipeline with the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Ceyhan is the terminal of the Baku, Tblisi Ceyhan Trans Caspian pipeline. "What is envisaged is to link the BTC pipeline to the Trans-Israel Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline, also known as Israel's Tipline." (See Michel Chossudovsky, The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil,

الحرب والغاز الطبيعي
الغزو الإسرائيلي لغزة خفايا ، وحقول الغاز البحرية


الغزو العسكري على قطاع غزة على أيدي القوات الإسرائيلية له علاقة مباشرة بالسيطرة وامتلاك الاحتياطي من الغاز الفلسطيني الموجود على شاطئ غزة والذي
اكتشف على نطاق واسع في عام 2000 من قبل الشركة البريطانية للغاز الطبيعي بي جي والتي تملكها عائلة من أصل لبناني قبالة سواحل قطاع غزة
وبموجب الاتفاقيات المبرمة فان الشركة البريطانية تمتلك ما مقداره 60% في حين إن المقاول الموحد يمتلك 30% والسلطة الفلسطينية تمتلك ما مقداره 10% وذلك بموجب الاتفاقية الموقعة عام 1999
بتاريخ 5-1-2001 وحسب بنود الاتفاقية بين الأطراف الثلاثة أن يتم بنا وتطوير خط أنابيب الغاز المسماة ( ميدل ايست ايكونيمك ) وبموجب الرخصة الممنوحة للشركة البريطانية بالعمل على شاطئ غزة والتي هي على تماس مع البحرية الإسرائيلية ومن الجدير بالذكر أن 60% من احتياطي الغاز الفلسطيني (في بئر غزة يقع محاذيا ًللسواحل الإسرائيلية ,قامت الشركة البريطانية بحفر بئرين في بحر غزة بئر رقم 1 ورقم 2 حيث بلغ الاحتياطي 1,4 تريليون قدم مكعب ما قيمته 4 مليار دولار هذه الأرقام قدرتها الشركة البريطانية إلا أن الأرقام الحقيقية تفوق ذلك بكثير
من يمتلك حقول الغاز هذه

مسألة السيادة على حقول الغاز في قطاع غزة أمرا حاسما ومن وجهة نظر قانونية هي من حق فلسطين , إن موت الرئيس ياسر عرفات وانتخاب حكومة حماس ووضع السلطة الفلسطينية أمور استرعت إسرائيل أن تفكر في السيطرة على حقول الغاز الفلسطينية على شاطئ غزة قامت الشركة البريطانية وبالتنسيق مع حكومة إسرائيل وبتجاهل تام لحركة حماس بتطوير هذه الحقول, وبانتخاب الطاغية ارئيل شارون عام 2001 كانت نقطة تحول رئيسة في السيادة الفلسطينية على حقول الغاز وكانت نقطة تحدي في المحكمة العليا الإسرائيلية ومع إصرار رفض الطاغية شراء الغاز من الفلسطينيين في غزة على أن هذه الحقول هي ملك لإسرائيل. عام 2003 صوت الطاغية على قرار استيراد الغاز من الشركة البريطانية , فوز حركة حماس في الانتخابات عام 2006 كانت بمثابة الصاعقة على إسرائيل والتي يعني سيطرة الحركة على قطاع غزة واقتصار سلطة السلطة على الضفة الغربية, عام 2006 كانت الشركة البريطانية على وشك التوقيع على اتفاقية تزويد الغاز إلى مصر لكن وفقا للتقارير تدخل رئيس الوزراء البريطاني توني بلير لصالح إسرائيل بوقف الاتفاقية, في أيار 2007 وافقت حكومة أيهود اولمرت على اقتراح مقدم من رئيس الوزراء على شراء الغاز من السلطة الفلسطينية وقدرت الاتفاقية ب 4 مليار دولار بأرباح تقدر 2 مليار دولار ليذهب منها 1 مليار للفلسطينيين إلا أنة لم يكن لدى الإسرائيليين أية نية بتقاسم الإرباح وقد شكلت الحكومة الإسرائيلية وفد للتفاوض مع الشركة البريطانية بدون الرجوع إلى حركة حماس أو حتى اخذ الاعتبار لها ولا حتى السلطة الفلسطينية, وزارة الدفاع أرادت أن يدفع للفلسطينيين على شكل مساعدات لا أموال ويشترط أن لا تذهب إلى حماس أو تصل إليها وكان الهدف من ذلك ألغا الاتفاقية الموقعة عام 1999 زمن ياسر عرفات , وبموجب اقتراح للاتفاقية مع الشركة البريطانية 2007 أن يتم مد أنابيب الغاز تحت البحر إلى ميناء عسقلان وبالتالي تتم السيطرة على الغاز الفلسطيني وبيعة إلا إن الصفقة تعثرت وتوقفت المفاوضات ,رئيس الموساد مئير داغان عارض الصفقة لأسباب أمنية أن العائدات ستمول الإرهاب عضو الكنيست جلعاد اردان
تحدث في الكنيست موجه حديثة إلى ايهود اولمرت أن يشتري الغاز من الفلسطينيين

وضع خطة الغزو
تم وضع خطة الغزو في شهر 6 للعام المنصرم 2008 وفق المصادر العسكرية الإسرائيلية ليتم الإعداد لها تبدأ بالضربات الجوية ثم اجتياح غزة عاودت المفاوضات مع الشركة البريطانية وبنفس الوتيرة تجهيز للغزو إلا أن المفاوضات لم تجدي نفعاً علاوة على ذلك فان المفاوضات مع الشركة والتي كان يقودها ايهود والمرت كان يعلم أن الحملة العسكرية يجب أن تتم أما ما بعد الحرب فان الترتيبات السياسية والإقليمية لقطاع غزة سيتم ترتيبها قبل 27 -12 –
2008
الوضع السياسي والجغرافي لغزة
تنوي إسرائيل باجتياحها غزة إلى السيطرة على حقول الغاز حتى بانتهاكها للقانون الدولي ما هي التوقعات بعد الغزو, ما هي نوايا إسرائيل بشان الغاز الطبيعي الفلسطيني ,هل هنالك ترتيبات إقليمية جديدة (وضع إسرائيل قوات حفظ سلام) تنوي إسرائيل عسكرة الخط الساحلي لغزة بكاملة. وإعلان السيطرة على حقول الغاز الفلسطيني لعمل شبكة من أنابيب الغاز عسقلان تل ابيب ايلات البحر الأحمر ثم حيفا إلى مينا جيهان التركي ثم إلى بحر قزوين
