Arab League Demands UN Intervention in Palestine
Cairo, Jan 6 (Prensa Latina) The secretary general of the Arab League,
Amr Mousa, called on the United Nations to intervene immediately to
stop Israel's crimes in the Gaza Strip.
In a communiqu(c) released at the AL headquarters, Mousa condemned
international passivity and urged the UN, the European Union, Russia
and the United States - all members of the so-called Middle East
Quartet - to intervene.
The Israeli army murdered at least 12 Palestinians, including two
women, and several dozens were wounded on Thursday and Friday, during
air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian
security sources.
Israel has proceeded with its policy of massacres and selective
assassinations, destroying houses and enlarging its settlements by
building new houses, humiliating the Palestinians at border checkpoints
and imposing measures of siege and hunger, Mousa said.
The Arab leader questioned the peace-making efforts of the peace
conference held in November in Annapolis, where Israeli Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas committed
themselves to reaching an agreement in 2008.
Israel's attacks jeopardize the peace-making efforts and negotiations
agreed upon after that meeting, Mousa warned.
Since November 27 to date, more than 100 Palestinians have been killed
and hundreds have been wounded in operations by the Israeli Defense
Forces in Gaza and the West Bank.

In a word, man knows that he is wretched. He is therefore wretched, because
be is so; but he is really great because he knows it.
417. This twofold nature of man is so evident that some have thought that we
had two souls. A single subject seemed to them incapable of such sudden
variations from unmeasured presumption to a dreadful dejection of heart.
418. It is dangerous to make man see too clearly his equality with the
brutes without showing him his greatness. It is also dangerous to make his
see his greatness too clearly, apart from his vileness. It is still more
dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both. But it is very advantageous to
show him both. Man must not think that he is on a level either with the
brutes or with the angels, nor must he be ignorant of both sides of his
nature; but he must know both.
419. I will not allow man to depend upon himself, or upon another, to the
end that, being without a resting-place and without repose.
420. If he exalt himself, I humble him; if he humble himself, I exalt him;
and I always contradict him, till he understands that he is an
incomprehensible monster.
421. I blame equally those who choose to

and excite over it his desire, his anger, his fear, to obtain his imagined
end, as children are frightened at the face they have blackened.
Whence comes it that this man, who lost his only son a few months ago, or
who this morning was in such trouble through being distressed by lawsuits
and quarrels, now no longer thinks of them? Do not wonder; he is quite taken
up in looking out for the boar which his dogs have been hunting so hotly for
the last six hours. He requires nothing more. However full of sadness a man
may be, he is happy for the time, if you can prevail upon him to enter into
some amusement; and however happy a man may be, he will soon be discontented
and wretched, if he be not diverted and occupied by some passion or pursuit
which prevents weariness from overcoming him. Without amusement there is no
joy; with amusement there is no sadness. And this also constitutes the
happiness of persons in high position, that they have a number of people to
amuse them and have the power to keep themselves in this state.
Consider this. What is it to be superintendent, chancellor, first president,
but to be in a condition wherein from early morning a large number of people
come from all quarters to see them, so as not to leave them an hour in the
day in which they can think of themselves? And when they are in disgrace and
sent back to their country houses, where they lack neither wealth nor
servants to help them on occasion, they do not fail to be wretched and
desolate, because no one prevents them from thinking of themselves.
140. How does it happen that this man, so distressed at the death of his
wife and his only son, or who has some great lawsuit which annoys him, is
