03-15-06 - We warned of prison attack, says Israel Days before Israel's military assault on Jericho prison it warned Britain and America that it would seize Palestinians held there under an international agreement for killing an Israeli cabinet minister if the two countries withdrew their monitors...British sources said yesterday the monitors were withdrawn after a "specific and credible threat" earlier this year against their lives. The sources said it was the most serious of concerns that included fears of roadside bombs, kidnappings and being caught up in a riot inside the jail. Seems like old times for the Brits in Palestine, eh?
03-15-06 - 'Disenfranchised' Wolfensohn threatens to quit Mideast peace process Wolfensohn took exception at Wednesday's hearing to calls to withhold aid to the Palestinian Authority, following the surprise victory by Hamas in January's legislative elections. "It is essential to ensure the continued humanitarian and economic welfare of the Palestinian people in a way that is predictable and clear to the population," Wolfensohn said.

03-15-06 - US court told Israel subjected American detainees to "traumas" In order to undermine Salah's claims, the prosecution called two agents of the Israeli Security Agency who took part in Salah's 1993 interrogations.
The six and a half days of testimony were held behind closed doors, but a transcript edited of classified information will be made available to the public in a few weeks.
Disguised agents of a foreign government are allowed to give testimony in private at a trial of a US citizen. I forget which country I am in for a minute. What happened to America?
03-15-06 - Ezra: U.S. didn't object to E1 construction The United States did not voice firm objection to the beginning of construction work in the disputed E1 area connecting Jerusalem to the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim, Internal Security Minister Gideon Ezra told Ynet on Monday. What's the difference whether or not our government objected? Israel will do what Israel wants to do, international law, world be damned.
03-15-06 - U.S. Envoy Warns of Palestinian Chaos "I do not believe you can have a million starving Palestinians and have peace," Wolfensohn said. Israel wants the Palestinians in chaos. That way, they can say, 'see, look what we have to deal with here'.

03-15-06 - U.S. may veto bid for UN condemnation of jail siege the text would almost certainly face a veto from the United States, Israel's closest ally, if brought to a vote in
its current form, the diplomats said.
03-15-06 - Israel's attack on Jericho: Palestinians remain without protection The missing contextual facts are that the PFLP killed Ze'evi in retaliation for Israel's murder of its leader Abu Ali Mustafa (Mustafa al-Zibri) in August 2001. Al-Zibri was not carrying arms or fighting, but sitting at his desk when an Israeli Apache helicopter fired a missile at him blowing him to pieces. Ze'evi was the leading advocate in Israel for the destruction of the Palestinian people, calling for their wholesale expulsion. The party he founded is running on the same platform in the current Israeli election campaign as anyone can read on its website.
03-15-06 - Israeli aggression, British betrayal Another act of aggression by the Israeli state, emboldened by western governments' hostility to Hamas.
03-15-06 - Suppression of witness names underlines battle in AIPAC case Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley, Anthony Zinni: For a few hours, the list of subpoenaed witnesses on the docket in the classified information case against two former staffers of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee read like a Who's Who of U.S. foreign policy. And that probably was precisely the point for defendants eager to prove that trading inside information with the most senior government officials was par for the lobbyists' course.
This will only serve to further prove that our government is beholden to AIPAC, a foreign lobby.

03-15-06 - Prison raid brightens Olmert's political star "Voters love these kind of operations in which the enemy is humiliated and our forces return safely to base," political commentator Nahum Barnea wrote in Yedioth Ahronoth...Faced with overwhelming Israeli force, Palestinian prisoners -- ordered to strip down to their underwear to show they were not carrying weapons or bombs -- walked with arms raised over their heads out of Jericho prison, where bulldozers tore apart its walls. And we are supposed to believe that Israel is the underdog here, in danger of being 'pushed into the sea' by these people. Mmmm k.

03-15-06 - US was alerted that Israel planned to raid Jericho Prison Israel briefed the US on its plan to raid the Jericho prison a short time before the IDF forces reached the area and kept the Americans updated on the progress of the raid.

03-15-06 - Blair's credibility suffers body blow among Arabs Confidence in Mr Blair has more recently been knocked by his role in pressing Hamas to recognise Israel, renounce violence and commit itself to existing agreements.
