03-12-06 - Friends Remember Slain American Hostage Palestinians throughout the West Bank also expressed sorrow Saturday over the killing of Fox who had traveled to the area to protest for their cause before he was taken hostage in Iraq.


03-12-06 - Lieberman - nyet, nyet, nyet In a nutshell, the principal difference in the plans of the two transfer-mongers with regard to the Arab citizens of Israel is that Lieberman is proposing border adjustments that would place them and their homes (that would instantly plumment in value) outside their state, while Ze'evi proposed deporting them from their state (and paying them suitable compensation for their homes).


03-12-06 - Pro-Israel Activists Cheer Cheney In recent weeks Bush has seen his approval ratings drop to around 35%, leading some analysts to the conclusion that his poll numbers were putting him perilously close to a "failed presidency" - one unable to effectuate its policies because of a lack of popular support. But this week, at the annual policy conference of the main pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, several of the most hard-line administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, drew a resounding response. This was by no coincidence. For it is their policy that the Bush administration is fulfilling - to the detriment of the rest of America.


03-12-06 - Rice Sought for Testimony in Spy Case Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley are among the witnesses defense lawyers want to subpoena in the case of two pro- Israel lobbyists accused of receiving classified information


03-12-06 - Recognising Israel 'is up to the people' Hamas's draft government programme has left the question of recognising Israel to the Palestinian people - leaving the door open for a possible referendum

03-12-06 - Ayalon: "I've killed more Arabs than Hamas killed Jews"

03-12-06 - Straw: Israel's nukes will be dealt with after Iran Highly doubtful. Britain is the one that helped Israel to get nukes in the first place.


03-12-06 - Rabbis visit Tehran to support call for Israel's destruction "The issue of the Holocaust has to do with the Zionist use ... The Zionists are using this issue. We, the Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, do not use the Holocaust as a tool for promoting our cause," Weiss was quoted as saying.


03-12-06 - Aide: Israel Told U.S. of Withdrawal Plan U.S. officials have reacted coolly to Israeli claims on the Ariel settlement bloc, deep inside the West Bank, and the Jordan valley. Also, up to now, the U.S. has insisted that borders must be set through negotiations and has opposed unilateral Israeli moves. AP tries to make like America has any say in the matter. Hysterical.


03-12-06 - Report Tracks L.A. Police Chief's Trips Bratton, who leaves Thursday for a nine-day business trip to Israel


03-12-06 - Israel's Likud, Hamas square off over future relations

03-12-06 - Rice hopes to increase humanitarian aid to Palestinians Speaking to reporters en route to Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, Rice said Hamas must make its intentions clear. First off, Rice is pandering to a mostly Muslim nation - big surprise there. Secondly, all aid for Palestinians should be deducted from the billions we give to Israel each year. Then I bet Israel would be singing a different tune. All aid to Israel should be contingent on its obeisance of international law. Bush the first attempted to do just that, and the AIPACers royally roasted his rear end.


03-12-06 - The erosion of free speech I better remember what I wrote in this newspaper just over six years ago, that "the degree of abuse and outright threats now being directed at anyone ... who dares to criticise Israel ... is fast reaching McCarthyite proportions. The attempt to force the media to obey Israel's rules is ... international". And growing, I should now add.

03-12-06 - Quartet envoy says he will step down unless mandate revised

03-12-06 - Affirmative action for Israeli Arabs Israel introduced affirmative action for Arabs in the civil service.


03-12-06 - 11 Israelis on Forbes list Eleven Israelis made the Forbes billionaire list


03-12-06 - Iran urging Islamic Jihad to attack Israel ahead of election Israeli intelligence sources say


03-12-06 - New legal approach draws museums into fray in fight against terror Among the museums and institutions being pursued by David Strachman is the University of Chicago. He wants the university to surrender a treasure trove of ancient Persian artifacts to survivors of an attack staged by Hamas, the militant group that won the recent Palestinian elections. The request was recently sustained by a federal magistrate in Chicago.... Supporters of terrorism should be punished. Hamas is partially financed by Iran. Therefore, Hamas' victims should be compensated by confiscating Iranian property, making Persian artifacts in American museums, such as University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, fair game for federal marshals and a moving truck.

03-12-06 - The 48 Hour Media-blitz for War with Iran Bush, Cheney, Bolton, Rice, Rumsfeld, Burns, Congress, and Israel. Whoa! That?s quite a line-up. All in the last 48 hours! Was it spontaneous or a calculated public-relations campaign? ....The Iran bourse is a direct threat to the present economic system of extorting labor and resources from the developing world for worthless paper. The Bush administration will do everything in its power to defend that system. It's coming, people. Better get ready for it. AIPAC has given our government their marching orders. And they rarely if ever disobey them.


03-12-06 - WCC, Pax Christi, YMCA to Convene for Peace in Palestine, Israel The World Council of Churches (WCC) is set to convene a joint advocacy initiative for peace in Palestine and Israel Mar. 12-19.
