    Palestinians: Israeli PM called off secret meeting

    RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A senior Palestinian official says Israel's prime minister scuttled a secret meeting last week meant to head off a looming diplomatic showdown at the United Nations.

    Yasser Abed Rabbo says Israeli President Shimon Peres asked his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, to meet to discuss the Palestinians' plan to seek U.N. recognition of their independence in September.

    He says Peres promised to bring creative ideas for defusing the crisis.

    Abed Rabbo says Abbas traveled to neighboring Jordan for the secret meeting last Thursday, but at the last minute Peres called to cancel, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed the meeting.

    Israel opposes the Palestinians' U.N. initiative.

    Both Peres' and Netanyahu's offices declined comment.

    THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

    RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian health official says Israeli troops have killed two Palestinian men in clashes at a West Bank refugee camp.

    Ramallah hospital director Dr. Mohammed Edeh says one man was shot in the head and the other in the abdomen.

    A Palestinian security official says the men were involved in rock-throwing and scuffles with Israeli soldiers who had come to the Qalandiya refugee camp around dawn Monday on an arrest raid. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to brief the media.

    The Israeli military said unrest broke out during an arrest raid and that the military was informed that two Palestinians were injured.

    The military frequently carries out arrest raids in the West Bank.

      "He says Peres promised to bring creative ideas for defusing the crisis."

      Would it be possible for militants to us some simple devices to steal data being transferred via data or voice cable and use a wireless transmitter to transmit the data to a more secure location where the encryption can be broken without pesky zionists trying to take all the cookies for themselves?

      Could an inexpensive probe be purchased? The probe coming with a tone generator which sends the signal along the copper or tin wire, it produces an electromagnetic field around the wire itself. The probe is for finding the signal, no physical contact with the wire is required to find the signal. Some of it is bled off in the electromagnetic field around the wire, much like power lines. Do to the cost of properly shielded cable, often cable with a low shield rating is used. Being placed in metal pipe is not a guaranteed solution to preventing data theft, it only really helps to reduce outside interference such as other electromagnetic fields or signals.

      Could such a probe be modified and combined with a small long range transmitter? Could the probe be taken apart, the positive and ground/earth wires be desolder and used to carry the signal to the transmitter? Could this combination be powered by a small but powerful lithium ion battery/batteries, or nickel-cadmium battery/battery often used in digital cameras being used by tourists? Could some of the electromagnetic energy be gathered as it passes through a copper coil like the windings commonly used in small DC fans in laptops, desktop computers, hard-drives, or maybe in ipad chargers to convert this electromagnetic energy back into electricity to supply the power or to charge the battery/batteries?

      As a worthless eater, brainwashed head of cattle, interview botcher and forgetful of all skills learned...I guess it is impossible?

        I wonder if it's possible to place styrene foam in gasoline or kerosene, which might melt and mix creating a kind of highly flammable and stick substance?

        Would it be possible to place such a substance in an I.E.D so when it's detonated the substance is ignited and if it was to touch a bad guy it would stick and burn like no tomorrow?

        It is impossible to read, to learn. It is impossible to think, to conceive and achieve. It is impossible to be intelligent or smart.

        All I can do is look for the grassy plains to eat, pass gas, urinate and defecate all over the place.

        Why is this?

        Well D.C. says people are worthless eaters, stupid and mindless.

      israel will not exist within 20 years, and that was five years ago-from an ameican government source. mubarak is gone, and the clock is counting down.

      Yes Indeed, we can now see who is really seeking peace and it is NOT israel......
      • Ashley 9 mths ago
        You've got to be kidding. How can you take one incident, of which the details have not been reported, and make such a conclusion? Did you make the same comment after rockets were shot into Israel yesterday? Give me a break...
      • Shuvonn 9 mths ago
        Not my problem if you cannot handle the truth. :-)
        Obviously the rockets should not have happened, thankfully no one was killed. However Israel is continuing to build illegally, reneging on old agreements (Oslo Accords) calling a slight slow down a moratorium when there was NO stoppage on infrastructure, and an 800 unit project was begun while Biden was on an official visit. Bribing Greece with trade agreements to stop the flotilla against the ILLEGAL blockade of Gaza. Visiting as many countries as they can to block the declaring a
        state, and you can try to lie all you want to, those are NOT the actions of a rogue state seeking peace.....
      • Ashley 9 mths ago
        Israel did not reneg on Oslo. East Jerusalem is not part of the freeze, and the Palestinians know it. When Biden was there, the plans of a project were approved, not begun. It will not be started for at least another 2 years. The flotilla is a political stunt designed to pressure Israel, so that future boat traffic to Gaza will be free to carry contraband. We all know that the people of Gaza are not starving. As long as there is rocket fire from Gaza, Israel has a right to do whatever it must to slow the flow of weapons. Of course Israel wants to block the unilateral declaration of a state, which cannot even get it's own govt. in order and has terrorists running the show. I don't lie. Israel is doing the best it can to secure peace, considering with whom they are dealing...

    • Shuvonn  •  9 mths ago
      Ashley: Oslo was a two sided agreement. Israel's SECURE existence was to be recognized as legitimate by the Palestinians. That never happened either. Israel certainly isn't going to pull back to indefensible borders when her neighbors reject simple peace. The UN has become a joke of an entity, which doesn't deserve recognition here. Don't you ever wonder why, with all the atrocities occuring throughout the world, the UN passes the majority of it's resolutions against Israel, a democratic state smaller than New Jersey? Israel wants peace, but not at the expense of it's citizens. Until the Palestinians display simple acceptence that Israel has a right to a secure existence, they are not partners in peace.

      shuvonn: Do NOT make excuses for the israeli broken agreements and try to place all the blame on the palestinians. The wb is NOT israel, never was and never will be recognized by the world. How can you expect a people who have no homeland, no identity, no jobs, no money, The JEWS picked their neighbors. And you can make fun of the un all you like, remember they recognized israel and israel complains to them when it suits also, and USES the US veto when it suits also. The UN is not a buffet that you can only take what you want and ignore the rest thats hypocriticial but SO very typical of israeli politics, do what you want and ignore everything else, make agreements and break them, and beg the US for more money. And enough with the POOR SMALL israel CRAP, and israel cannot rationally demand recognition from a people they DENY exist, they teach it in their schools daily just in time to prime their little idf members to kill for their thrree or two year stints. israel never acts like it wants peace, blockade, violations of international laws, illegal belligerent occupation, illegal annexation, jew only roads, illegal settlements, broken agreements, and refusal to talk, Spare me your tripe, you can believe that all you like but you sure are naieve and BIASED.
    • Shuvonn  •  9 mths ago
      Ashley posts: Sorry, but I disagree. Jordan illegally occupied E. Jerusalem prior to Israel unifying the city, and nobody said a thing because only Jews were suffering as a result. I get that reality is a game of politics and that the world feels the need to be p.c. when it comes to the Palestinians. Quite frankly, Muslim terror terrifies the world, and nobody wants to incur the wrath of the Arab League. I'm familiar with the Irgun, etc., and I don't condone how they operated. However, that is history. Livni's parents have nothing to do with her job. That's like saying that German children of Nazi's somehow are related to the party today. Ridiculous.>>

      Shuvonn: You can disagree all you want, does NOT make you right. You want to talk occupation? Israel has and continues to belligerenty occupy the WB since 1967 and the world is standing by and doing NOTHING, while watching illegall settlements, jew only roads so spare me the hypocrisy about occupation. Netanyahu agreed to dismantle settlements and stood back in his last stint in power and has yet to address or deal with ANY illegal settlement. The ONLY unification of jerusalem is for the benefit of JEWS and JEWS only and so it not a real unification and it is NOT recognized by ANY country in the world. And do not even START about that all jew terror being being history,the jews hunted down every nazi world wide and are STILL at it even today years later.Netanyahu spoke at the 60th anniversary of the king david hotel bombing and justified it as a legitimate target, making excuses for JEW terror, how sickening. And ANY child that is reared in a household can and will be subjected to the hatred of their parents, and lvini is a prime example of that similiar to netanyahu's sons comments on facebook. As a parent you get to have the power to infleunce your children which can be used for good or evil and I can see how it worked in the case of lvini and netanyahu. Proof positive.

      Let the Palestinians go to the UN. They will accomplish nothing and it will bring nothing but trouble for the Palestinian "leadership'.

      They have nothing and Israel should call their bluff.

      " Peres promised to bring creative ideas for defusing the crisis." A very creative "idea" is all the Philistine leave or die, after they "donated" the land to the Ketzer-Khasars !!! The other is allow more ketzer-khasar in West Bank and they move to the Gaza Strip extermination camp. The liar jews don't want peace because they lost the money from USA, Europe , and without that income the ketzer-khasars are dead.

      Bibi has everything on the table - Israeli doctors protesting for more pay, a Palestinian State on Palestinian land, Tel Aviv seething with a housing crisis, questions arising about zionist lover Breivik and his Israel connections, Illegal settlers burning down Palestinian olive trees,
      Israelis seeking second passports to move away from the zionist mayhem. . . .
      It's all on the table, Bibi, and I hope you choke on all of it.

      Is this Bibi's idea of Peace?
      Last Friday Israeli settlers set olive trees in the West Bank village of Burin on fire, in another attempt to target a key product of the Palestinian economy.
      Palestinian farmers plant 10,000 trees anually on Palestinian land.
      Illegal zionist settlers cut and burn them down.

      The fact that the meeting was called at all clearly illustrates how scared the ZioNazi is of the the prospect of UN vote for Palestinian statehood.
      .
      Israel is now recognizing that it is being "cornered", that the noose is slowly but steadily tightening around its neck.
      .
      The weed in the garden is starting to wilt. It has sucked nutrients out of the soil for the indigineous plants, but now "Roundup" is doing its job.
