03-22-06 - Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Fugitives After previously denying such allegations, an Israeli official on Tuesday confirmed that the Karni restrictions were partly intended to send a message to Hamas, though he also said the security threats were real. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. At the very bottom of the article by AP, the truth comes out. I was once told by an editor of a local paper in response to my question as to why an article about the I-P conflict had the last three or four paragraphs cut from it when the original I had found at Yahoo News had not, that it was a matter of cropping said article to better fit on the page.
Coincidently, AP usually reserves the last paragraphs of its articles to report damning information about Israel.

03-22-06 - The War Party in Disarray Another good sign is the wellspring of hysteria that has arisen in the wake of the study's publication. Already Alan Dershowitz has smeared the distinguished authors as anti-Semites, and the Usual Suspects have launched a deafening chorus of caterwauling. Among the "arguments" raised by the study's detractors: David Duke has praised it, the Washington office of Fatah is handing out copies, and the Muslim Brotherhood likes it, too. None of which proves anything
03-22-06 - Hebron Update: February 28 - March 13, 2006 While Roe was there, a
grade school student entered the office, limping. She said that the day before,

The money to be used instead to bolster the prison called Palestine.

03-22-06 - Harvard's Paper on Israel Called 'Trash' By Solon The NY Sun - the only other mainstream news medium in the US (besides pro-Israeli rags, and besides the Christian Science Monitor) - has offered up three or four articles since the study was put out days ago attempting to smear the authors, link them with David Duke, and otherwise try to 'discredit' this very damning report.
03-22-06 - 'AIPAC study is ignorant propaganda' Dershowitz, one of Israel's strongest defenders in the American public and academic arena, was mentioned personally in the study as an "apologist" for Israel, ....CAMERA concludes that "Harvard should remove the report from its website - and therefore remove from the report the Harvard imprimatur - until the authors fix its manifold deficiencies". Imagine, the Israeli lobby and its apologists come out AGAINST the study? Who would've guessed? The more shrill their cries, the more you know that that study hit a little too close to home for their tastes.

state.
03-22-06 - Pro-Israeli media : Harvard removes its seal from study on Israeli Lobby This 'watchdog' - CAMERA - is PART of the Israeli lobby as mentioned in the study by the two professors. It's not a surprise to see that this lobby flexed their collective muscle and put the lean on Harvard to have their seal removed from the report.
03-22-06 - Israel's war against the hospice of the Daughters of Charity continues In 1974, Jerusalem's Mayor at the time, who was notorious for his continuous efforts to transfer Christian Church properties to Israeli hands, both public and private, pressurised the Mother Superior to sign a contract of sale of part of the property of the "Hospice" to an Israeli business. The sale, which was not authorised by the Church, was of course illegal, and the Church demanded that it be declared null and void. Thereupon, the State simply confiscated the property in order to assure its transfer to Israeli business interests
03-22-06 - Two Jewish candidates figure in key races for mid-term votes Giffords' view on foreign affairs are noteworthy, especially since she is running to replace Kolbe, the current chairman of the foreign operations subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, the body responsible for delivering foreign aid to Israel and around the world. It's unclear whether Giffords would replace Kolbe on that panel. "Obviously, Kolbe was an appropriations cardinal," she said. "I don't think he began as a strong supporter of Israel. It became clear to him the importance of it."

Are these the same Israeli officials who found their own not guilty of bulldozing the American girl to death?
Please, give us all a break here.
Israel has been trying for a few years now to link their 'war on terror' (read, colonialism project') with ours. 'According to Israeli officials' these guys were aligned with Al Qaeda. And their lapdogs in the Associated Press waste no time in doing the bidding of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. It's like clockwork.

03-22-06 - Moroccans Pulling for Native Son in Israel The warm ties between Arabs and Jews in the town decades ago could have been a model for a different Middle East, untroubled by religious barriers and animosity, living and trading with each other and baby-sitting each other's kids. "We treated the Jews well," said Mohammed Aloumi, 68, who owns a hardware store in Boujad, and hoped Peretz would reciprocate in his treatment of the Palestinians...Peretz says he has fought all his life against the "ethnic demon" - the charged relations between Ashkenazim and Sephardim, as Jews from the Middle East and North Africa are collectively called.The Peretz family lived in a tent camp, then in the desert town of Sderot, today a frequent target of Palestinian missiles fired from the nearby Gaza Strip
Israel puts the darker-skinned immigrants right into the line of fire as a buffer, evidently.

03-22-06 - Editorial: Honest debate on the Mideast The Capital Times, which has long supported a two-state solution and tends to share the views of Jimmy Carter with regard to the peace process, does not accept the narrow character of the debate about Middle East policy that is found in most U.S. media.

03-22-06 - Italy, Israel Ask for Single Strong Voice to Hamas
03-22-06 - The power of saying no Gandhi put it best: "How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done. Non-cooperation is directed not against?the Governors, but against the system they administer. The roots of non-cooperation lie not in hatred but in justice."
03-22-06 - New water source found in Israel? An Israeli researcher reported the existence of untapped water resources beneath the Judean Desert.

03-22-06 - Starve the Palestinians Israel has closed Gaza's commercial lifeline, the Al-Minter Crossing, these past 50 days in peak harvest time, preventing the export of goods and stopping the import of bread supplies. 3,594 MT of wheat flour contracted to local mills did not enter. Now there is no bread and the 70% of Palestinians living below the poverty line have no food. This barbarity one does not expect from the people who cried for protection from fascist forces when they were under siege.
03-22-06 - Idol of hard-right tipped as Israeli kingmaker It is worth visiting one of the more bizarre recreational haunts of Jerusalem if you want to hear the authentic tones of the diehard, Soviet-born, supporters of Avigdor Lieberman. It is important to do so because Mr Lieberman, a far-right settler born in Moldova, could be the surprise of the Israeli election on Tuesday. Polls show he could be a coalition kingmaker with around 10 seats in the Knesset.
