03-31-06 - Two projects aid women, children in refugee camp
03-31-06 - 'Israel lobby' critique roils academe The significance of the paper, according to those who condemn it, as well as those who embrace it, lies in the Harvard and University of Chicago credentials of the authors and in the fact that it has been presented in a high-level academic forum, in a heavily footnoted style associated with accurate, objective scholarship. This article was almost an attempt at fairness by the Boston Globe with respect to its reporting on the matter of the study of the Israeli lobby. But then they felt the need to play the David Duke card.

03-31-06 - UN gives clean bill of environment health to Gaza pullout Apart from localized pollution and "issues associated with asbestos" the report found no water, land or building contamination, or major sources of hazardous waste that pose significant risk to the environment or public health.
03-31-06 - When Doves Cry The settlements and the Israeli separation wall are enormous obstacles to a viable two-state solution. But they were put in place by acts of political will. In principle, they can be removed by political decisions. What is uncertain is whether any coalition of forces can be assembled in Israel that can muster the wisdom and courage to undertake this. It would be greatly facilitated if the international community and the media ceased to propagate obfuscations about the nonexistent "peace process." This has become a propaganda term that conceals Israel's continued settlement expansion, the construction of the separation barrier declared illegal by the International Court of Justice and the fact that the Gaza Strip remains under occupation practically and according to international law. These harsh realities and their appalling consequences for the Palestinian people must be confronted

03-31-06 - Global Divide on Israel Lobby Study In the international online media, the 83-page study, "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard, has attracted largely positive coverage. By contrast, U.S. and Israeli commentators have described their findings as outrageous and scandalous. Which again proves one of the points of the study.

03-31-06 - Palestinian daughter of Red Army founder steps out of shadows, embraces new life of liberty In 1971 at the height of global student radicalism during the Vietnam War, Fusako Shigenobu, who was then 25, headed to Lebanon with a vision to fight for Palestinian independence and eventually bring leftist revolution to Japan.

03-31-06 - Daniel Pipes, a new kind of Israel-basher Dr. Pipes goes on to admit "a certain frustration" with the apparent unwillingness of Israelis to go out there and do the right thing: bring the Arabs to heel, by use of overwhelming force. Pipes would appear to be a supremacist/extremist whose ideologies inspired the Danish editor (Fleming Rose) to publish the anti-Islam cartoons.

03-31-06 - High Stakes at Harvard What would motivate two well recognized academics to depart so grossly from their usual standards of academic writing and research in order to produce a "study paper" that contributes so little to the existing literature while lending so much comfort to anti-Semites? Dershowitz, while playing the anti-Semite card (big surprise there), changes tack and focuses on going after Harvard next. All angles are being worked in the relentless onslaught of bilious vitriol by pro-Israelis in response to the study of the Israeli lobby. I don't think even they know where to fling the feces next. All they seem to know is that it must be flung.
03-31-06 - America and Israel Judgment of the precise value of the Walt-Mearscheimer paper has been swept aside by a wave of condemnation. Their scholarship has been derided and their motives impugned, while Harvard has energetically disassociated itself from their views. Mr Walt's position as academic dean of the Kennedy School is in doubt.
