03-19-06 - Gaza on brink of humanitarian crisis: UN The Gaza Strip is dangerously short of basic foodstuffs and is facing a looming humanitarian crisis as a result of the continued closure of the main trade crossing with Israel, the United Nations warned.
03-19-06 - EU ministers ponder Mideast worst-case scenario European foreign ministers ponder the grim puzzle of how to provide aid to needy Palestinians when their new government is dominated by Hamas, blacklisted by the EU as a terror group.
03-19-06 - U.S. Brokers Compromise on Gaza Crossing With Palestinians facing severe shortages of bread, milk and other foods in Gaza, U.S. officials called an emergency meeting Sunday and brokered a compromise with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in a two-month-old border standoff. The cynical use by Israel of the terror card to keep the Palestinian crossing shut is despicable.
03-19-06 - Israel extends closure on West Bank, Gaza The prison called Palestine where everyone's a 'terrorist' - and treated as such. Imagine if a foreign entity tried to do that here. What would you do?
03-19-06 - Abbas says he won't reject Hamas Cabinet list
03-19-06 - Palestinians lose in Mideast water war Israel's vast separation barrier slices Nazlet Isa off from one of the richest water sources in the arid northern West Bank where the fight for water is a fight for survival. Israel is believed to monopolise around 75 percent of Palestinian water resources in a region where rainfall is infrequent and water a strategic asset...Abdul Rahman Tamimi, director of the non-governmental Palestinian Hydrology Group (PHG), said the coincidence of the route of the wall with the layout of the region's aquifers was no accident...Doctor Hossam Madi says diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, fever, kidney failure, infection and dermatological problems blight most Palestinian children and persist into adulthood because of poor water supplies
Israel has managed to steal water from the Palestinians too.
03-19-06 - Hamas submits names for cabinet The group was unable to persuade any rival factions to join a coalition.....Up to 1.3 million people in Gaza - half of them children - could be going without bread soon, Mr Shearer of the UN office for humanitarian affairs warned. Remember what Israel said about starving the Palestinians after the Hamas win at the polls.
03-19-06 - Egypt has 'second bird flu case'
03-19-06 - It's not too late for lasting peace in the Middle East Our media have totally ignored this piece which is again being featured in the Guardian UK and despite the fact that it's been out now for about two weeks. Israel's Haaretz has even covered it.
03-19-06 - U.S.: Not sure Quartet needs envoy after Wolfensohn's term ends "I do not believe you can have a million starving Palestinians and have peace," Wolfensohn said....Some U.S. officials want to squeeze a Hamas-led government so that it cannot provide services such as working sewers in the hope it will turn Palestinians against the group.
03-19-06 - AP Erases Video of Israeli Soldier Shooting Palestinian Boy This is not a surprise to me. I comb the news every day for Israel-Palestine articles. I know what AP does and does not report. I know that they also edit the articles that they release to the various news websites throughout the country - making crucial omissions from the original one - which is what I keep from Yahoo news. The AP might as well be taking their information from the Israeli Foreign Ministry. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they do. For they are working on their behalf about 97 percent of the time.
03-19-06 - Fatah to round up arms in Lebanon refugee camps There are believed to be 380,000 Palestinians living in Lebanon, many of them in dire conditions in 12 refugee camps.
03-19-06 - Emergency food agreed for Gaza: US Emergency shipments of food will be brought into Gaza from Egypt on Monday, a U.S. diplomat announced on Sunday after hosting talks with Israel and the Palestinians on alleviating an impending humanitarian crisis. Our government takes the responsibility when Israel refuses to.
03-19-06 - Church Action Week - Day 7 Reflection "There is an advertisement in the USA that reads: "Have a Holiday Home in Jerusalem." The ad does not mention this home is 100% ILLEGAL! It is clear how the wall zig zags that it is not about security but about grabbing the maximum land with minimal Palestinian occupation. The settlers have taken over the Holy Basin."
03-19-06 - Eclectic Group Crosses Sahara for Peace Ex-Israeli fighter pilot Gil Fogiel rarely talked about being a prisoner of war in Syria until he sat across a campfire in the middle of the desert with people he long considered his worst enemies - Iraqis, Iranians and Palestinians.
03-19-06 - Olmert sees deal with Russia to supply gas to Israel
03-19-06 - Camps Spotlight Double Standard Disarming Palestinians in refugee camps isn't going to stop raids by armed IDF forces. It also didn't stop a wholescale massacre of Palestinian civilians in the camps of Sabra and Shatilla of Lebanon - to which the IDF, under the direction of Ariel Sharon (who was found personally responsible for this incident by an Israeli court), was a party. Now there's a difference between terrorism and self-defense. But the Israeli government does not make this distinction, as evidenced by its use of indiscriminate gunfire against the Palestinian populations in the Occupied Territories.
03-19-06 - Illegal Israeli Digging Beneath Western Wall of Al Aqsa Mosque Continues Israeli construction companies, with support from Israeli armed forces, have resumed digging underneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, apparently in a bid to undermine the foundations of the ancient mosque and cause it to collapse, reported the Al Aqsa Institution for the Renovation of Islamic Sites Friday.
03-19-06 - Israeli-Palestinian couple asks Court to let them live together
03-19-06 - Testing times as Hamas goes it alone So if President Mahmood Abbas gives it the go-ahead, Hamas will govern alone - and under pressure from powerful forces at home and abroad.....The fact that Hamas will take power alone will make it even easier for Israel to depict the new government as what it would describe as a terrorist administration. Read last six paragraphs.
03-19-06 - Israel miffed at UN envoy Western diplomatic officials said that under agreements with Israel, senior diplomats do not need to leave their vehicles when crossing Erez, and that the norm was for the driver to present the diplomat's passport. The UN, they said, was not informed of any change in these procedures.

03-19-06 - Israeli Propaganda Denounces Hamas for Fateh Website
03-19-06 - U.S. FAILS TO FIND IRANIAN AID TO HAMAS
