Israeli army shuts down Palestinian mall
Afghanistan News.Net Tuesday 8th July, 2008
A shopping mall housing more than seventy stores has been closed by the Israeli army.
The pre-dawn closure on Tuesday in the northern West Bank city of Nablus is part of a crackdown by the army on civilian and social infrastructure in the Palestinian territories.
Schools, hospitals, medical clinics, and even orphanges and soup kitchens have been targeted by the Israeli military, because they have, or have had in the past, links to Hamas.
The mutli-storey mall in Hebron is owned by varied Palestinian interests, but the board of directors is chaired by a man who has links to Hamas. The man, Adli Yaish, who is also the Mayor of Nablus, has been sent to an Israeli prison.
A medical society, two humanitarian organizations, a trade union, and a support group for political prisoners held in Israeli jails, was also shut down Tuesday.

They refused theeir homeland.
Over and over Israel has attempted peace and always one faction or another has attacked Israel.
Shame people can’t see through the disinformation of Arab media control.
This site and even American media sources are now controlled by ruling Arab elites.

Yes yes Israel talks 'Peace' and Makes offers backed by demands. AND...
... , 'THE PLAN B'!
We see the clear plan b in the historical record!
Steal a Pound, steal another pound, and talk peace. When the other side begins to talk, make demands that exceed two pounds. When the the other side objects, steal another pound. And repeat the cycle over and over. When backed into corner offer to return a quarter pound for peace. And make demands! And restart the cycle. If it looks like the other side is about to be forced into a limited agreement, steal another pound, i.e., never never let the other side have cause to agree! 'Plan B!'

Lets shoot the messenger
I don’t understand. Every time there is a story that tells us of some action by Israel that is not favorable out come the attacks on people posting comments or the news site the story appears on. If you can’t comment on the story itself it only shows you have no argument against it. You have to resort to attacking those who make a comment about it or publish it. What is it, you don’t want these stories to appear? You don’t want people to express their opinion about it? What do you constitute as news?

Please enlighten me
Which rulign Arab elites control the media? Which media sites, newspapers, TV etc are controlled by ruling Arab elites? Please give us a breakdown, don’t keep such vital information to yourself. Or is it just that you want to malign any media that doesn’t only run stories that are favorable to israel. Maybe the media is battling to find favorable stories. The prime minister is currently being investigated for corruption, the previous president resigned due to a sex scandal etc etc

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Owns an intrest in most of the big media companies!
New York - The title of this financial romance: Rupert and the prince. The players: The chairman of News Corp. (nyse: NWS - news - people ) and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
The billionaire aristocrat’s office on Tuesday announced he upped his stake in the media and entertainment colossus to 5.46% of voting shares.
But Alwaleed’s statement went beyond mere dollars and cents — and Saudi riyals — as the prince’s statement also included a more personal cri du coeur, voicing his support for Rupert Murdoch’s leadership
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and Fox News - Perfect Together?
It would seem so.
BILLIONAIRE Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has raised his stake in media giant News Corporation to 5.46 per cent of voting shares and backed the leadership of chairman and chief executive Rupert Murdoch, lifting the company’s shares.
The prince’s new holding of Class B voting shares replaced the three per cent stake in Class A non-voting shares previously held by his investment company, Kingdom, Prince Alwaleed’s office said.
Never heard of him? Sure you did - just see this post at lgf:
âHowever, at times like this one, we must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack. I believe the government of the United States of America should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance towards the Palestinian cause.â The press release attributed the statement to the prince.
â âOur Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek,â Prince Alwaleed stressed,â the release read.
The mayor, who had been told of the press release just moments before his daily briefing but after receiving the check, was visibly annoyed by it. âI entirely reject that statement,â he said. âThatâs totally contrary to what I said at the United Nations,â he added, referring to his address to the international body last Monday.
And he told Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud to take his $10 million and shove it ...
Seems Murdock preferred the stock bump, instead. It’s only money, folks ... and voting shares.
He also owns strock in CNN and FOX news he literally tells them to not run negative press on Arabs or Islam!
There is more but this site will not allow me to post it in fact I bet this gets a major edit

Oh more
This is by the way one of many extremely rich Arabs who has not hidden what he owns and has control over.
[edit] Business interests
Al-Walid began his business career in 1979 upon graduation from Menlo College. Funded by a $30,000 loan from his father and a $300,000 mortgage on his house, he initially brokered deals with foreign firms wishing to do business in Saudi Arabia.[citations needed] This was followed by land deals in the 1980s, along with major investments in the Saudi banking industry, which proved to be undervalued at the time.[citation needed]
The Prince’s activities as an investor came to prominence when he bought a substantial tranche of shares in Citicorp in the 1990s when that firm was in difficulties. With an initial investment of $550 million to bail out Citibank caused by underperforming American real estate loans and Latin American businesses, his holdings in Citigroup now comprise half of his wealth worth US$10 billion.[2] He has also made large investments in AOL, Apple Inc., Worldcom, Motorola, News Corporation Ltd and other technology and media companies.[citation needed]
His real estate holdings have included large stakes in the Four Seasons hotel chain and the Plaza Hotel in New York. He sold half of his shares in the latter in August 2004. He has made investments in London’s Savoy Hotel and Monaco’s Monte Carlo Grand Hotel. He currently holds a 10% stake in Euro Disney SCA, the organization which manages and maintains the Disneyland Resort Paris in Marne-la-Vallee, France.[3]
In January 2005 Al-Walid purchased the Savoy Hotel in London for an estimated GBP £250 million, to be managed by Fairmont Hotels, in which Al-Walid owns an estimated 16% stake. In January 2006, in partnership with the U.S. real estate firm Colony Capital, Kingdom Holdings acquired Toronto, CA-based Four Seasons for an estimated $3.9 billion.
As of 2007, he was believed to be in talks with Robert Earl, founder of Planet Hollywood, about taking a controlling stake in the English Premier League’s Everton FC[citation needed].
As of 2008, there are plans for the $10 billion construction of the Burj Al-Meel (Arabic for “the Tower of One Mile”), a supertall skyscraper to be the tallest in the world, at one mile (1600m) in height.
In the summer of 2008, several newspapers in the gulf reported Al-Walid’s interest in the English Premier League giants Everton FC, Al-Walid is reported to be interested in buying the club and having his name as the new Everton stadium’s name that is being built outside the Liverpool city. Upon naming the ground the Al-Walid Tesco stadium
In November of 2005, Foxâs OâReilly showed live footage of the French Intifada as it raged in Paris. According to WorldNetDaily, Saudi billionaire Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, (aka Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin AbdulAziz AlSaud), who owns 5-6% of the Fox News Channel, personally called Rupert Murdoch and asked him to change the offensive (but accurate) caption: âMuslim Riotsâ to the less offensive (and less accurate) âCivil Riots.â Within thirty minutes, the Prince had his way.
All about control!

Amazing all the media is now arab controlled
What are you on? An Arab billionaire controls Rupert Murdoch? A news service incorporated in the UAE is Arab controlled? There are thousands of companies setting up in the UAE, don’t you read the papers, listen to the news? Have you not heard about Dubai? Do you think everyone operating there is Arab controlled? All the companies from the world over now incorporating in Dubai, are they all under control of the Arabs because they have set up an office there?
This is all about shooting the messenger. You think this story is only on sites you want to pick on.
