03-08-06 - Middle East 'road map' way out of date: UN envoy Furthermore, the 2003 road map was drafted before Israel started building its controversial barrier in the West Bank "which has come to symbolize Israeli territorial expansion and oppression," Dugard said."There is a need for a new road map which takes account of present political realities and is anchored in respect for human rights and the rule of law in the resolution of the conflict,"
03-08-06 - Mid-East peace plan 'out of date' The report also said Gaza was still effectively occupied despite Israel's pullout from settlements last summer....The report, to be discussed by the UN commission in Geneva next week, said "much more needs to be done by Israel" to meet its human rights obligations.
03-08-06 - Israel will have to act on Iran if UN can't
03-08-06 - Middle East neighbors living side by side and worlds apart Here in the Gaza Strip, almost every day brings the thud of incoming Israeli artillery shells or air-launched rockets, some of which have killed Palestinians, including children. There's also a tightening economic siege, with Israel blocking the entry of many necessary goods.

03-08-06 - Internet suppliers may reveal identity of web-posters New Jersey wants to do this very same thing.
03-08-06 - U.S. 'will always be by Israel's side,' Clinton says Clinton said he "sympathized" with the reason Palestinians voted for Hamas in recent parliamentary elections because the average Palestinian is worse off now than a decade ago. U.S. 'will always be by Israel's side,' Clinton says - maybe our Congress whom AIPAC has in their back pocket. Last I checked though, this government is still by the people of the people and for the people.
03-08-06 - For politicians and candidates, AIPAC event is a time to shine Participating at the AIPAC conference has, for years, given politicians close access to active donors from across the country who are willing to feed money into the campaigns of pro-Israel candidates. In addition to the formal program, AIPAC conferences include several small cocktail receptions for high donors, where business cards and alcohol flow freely.
"It's fund-raising, it's votes and it's leadership," Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is running for Senate, said at a National Jewish Democratic Council reception on the sidelines of the conference. "It puts us together with people that are influential in the community." The whoring of American legislators and would-be legislators is repulsive.
03-08-06 - Researchers to Report That Arab Population Figures in West Bank and Gaza Are Dramatically Overestimated as House International Relations Subcommittee Reconsiders US Aid to Palestinian Authority The ADRG released, "Arab Population in the West Bank and Gaza: The Million Person Gap," a report authored by Bennett Zimmerman, Dr. Roberta Seid and Dr. Michael L. Wise at the American Enterprise Institute. Bingo. The American Enterprise Institute, AEI, is a neocon 'thinktank' - now there's a nonbiased source of information. Our legislators will nonetheless slurp up this neocon slop in their usual subordinate manner.
03-08-06 - Stone Offers Kisses for Mideast Peace During her visit, Stone planned to play soccer with a mixed group of Israeli and Palestinian children, visit Israeli hospitals that care for Palestinian children and celebrate her 48th birthday Friday with a gala to raise funds for children's educational and health projects.
03-08-06 - Jewish Congress-paid trip to Israel has national chief on defensive An open letter from 47 grassroots groups to Phil Fontaine, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, says he was used by the Canadian Jewish Congress - which paid for the trip - as a cover for "Israeli atrocities committed against the Palestinian people.".."To oppose an educational, historical trip to Israel is to oppose Jews and Israel for their own sake," Trips to Israel sponsored by pro-Israeli lobbies taken by politicians in both the US and Canada, are now labelled 'educational'. This will be used by Congress to bypass the limits of trips provided to lawmakers by lobbyists.
03-08-06 - 'HATE' STORM LOOMS Norman Finkelstein was slated to speak at the university's largest lecture hall tomorrow night on the topic "Israel and Palestine: Misuse of Anti-Semitism, Abuse of History." .."I am distressed that after so much effort toward dialogue on this campus, these groups are bringing a divisive anti-Semite to Columbia," Norman Finklestein is himself Jewish. This fact ups the severity of the shrill cries by pro-Israelis for censorship - since it gives the lie to the charge that all Jews stand with Israel.

03-08-06 - Lord Rogers fights to save US project in Jewish row Local politicians and some Jewish organisations have demanded Lord Rogers be sacked from the project because of the group, which opposes the separation barrier that has sliced up the West Bank and the building of settlements in Palestinian territories. The group has also criticised Israeli building companies for their support of settlement building, and has called for an economic boycott of those firms.
03-08-06 - Israel-Palestine conflict engulfs Rogers's $1.7bn New York project Under attack by local politicians and others who are calling for his sacking, Lord Rogers will arrive at the offices of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organisations with a daunting brief. He must negotiate his way through a row that combines Israeli-Palestinian politics with a major public building project - two topics virtually guaranteed to cause contention in New York, even if the Javits centre had not been built in honour of Jacob Javits, a New York senator who was a staunch campaigner for Israel...The furore is not the first time that the politics of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute have become charged in New York in recent weeks. Late last month a play about the activist Rachel Corrie, co-written by the Guardian journalist Katharine Viner, was cancelled by a theatre in the city. The political opinions of Israel in Britain are vastly different than those found here. Yet Britain is our number 1 ally.
03-08-06 - Palestinian plea to Floyd's Waters Last year, Waters was among several British artists who supported a War On Want campaign against the West Bank barrier. At the time, Waters said: "The poverty inflicted by the wall has been devastating for Palestinians. It has kept children from their schools, the sick from proper medical care and continues to destroy the Palestinian economy."
