04-01-06 - Olmert, Hamas Pursue Unilateral Agendas The military has also kept Gaza-Israel crossings, vital for Gaza's struggling economy, closed for extended periods, ostensibly for security reasons. However, Israel doesn't want to go too far, and will allow in just enough goods to avert a crisis.
Keeping the Palestinians at the brink of a major humanitarian crisis as punishment for having a real democracy and for electing a party majorically for its clean form of govt (fatah was corrupt) - the neocon legacy.

04-01-06 - Editor hits back over Israel row ..'But when I re-read the piece, I did not see anything that I felt should not have been said. Maybe it is because I am Jewish, but I think I am very alert to anti-Semitism. And I do not think that criticising US foreign policy, or Israel's way of going about influencing it, is anti-Semitic. I just don't see it.' Accusing the LRB of anti-Semitism only proves one of the points of the study. The knee-jerk responses by members of the pro-Israeli community are like clockwork, they are that predictable.
04-01-06 - J'lem protests equation of Hamas, Israel The protest to Lavrov's comments come against the background of Israeli-Russian tensions stemming both from what Israel considers Russia's tepid position regarding the Iranian nuclear issue and because - along with Turkey - Russia was among the first countries to invite a Hamas delegation to visit following the Palestinian Legislative Council elections.

04-01-06 - America gives tacit approval to West Bank withdrawal Is the US?s apparent willingness to endorse a move which is unlikely to remove the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the list of regional irritants just another example of what two prominent US academics recently described as Washington?s tendency to advance Israel?s interests, even when they are inimical to its own, due largely to pressure from Jewish American groups?
04-01-06 - Elimination of racial discrimination: The case of Israel Creating a Jewish majority is at the heart of Israel's policies and is achieved through the de-Palestinization of Palestinian land. For instance, since 2002, thousands of people have been displaced by the construction of the Wall and its associated regime. Prof. John Dugard, Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories recently observed that "the closed zone is gradually being "cleansed" of Palestinians, where land will in due course be transferred to land-greedy settlers."
04-01-06 - No Conflict Between Islam and Democracy, Rice Says SECRETARY RICE: Well, I certainly think that you hear a passion about a number of issues that I think is very important. You hear passion about the plight of the Palestinians and I think everybody recognizes that these are people who live in extraordinarily difficult circumstances and where the President has said that the only answer to stability in the region for both Israel and the Palestinian people is to have a Palestinian state.
04-01-06 - Keeping It Quiet: The Israel Lobby's Crushing of Dissent So far as I've been able to determine with the help of Google, while the paper and talk about it are all over the Internet, they are missing from the big corporate press as of this writing Which is again, another point of the study itself - the acquiescence of the mainstream American media to the whims of the Israeli lobby.

04-01-06 - Area Jews, Protestants Dispute Israel "Palestinians need and deserve contiguous lands. Settlements in most occupied lands need to be closed. One of the keys for (Palestinians) is permeable boundaries, the free coming and going back and forth," declared the Rev. Dr. Peter K. Nord, executive presbyter of the Presbytery of Baltimore The problem with the arguments by the Israel-advocates, as always, is that the plan for Israel (by its original 'pioneers') was to exclude as many Arabs as possible to ensure a Jewish majority. This was achieved in large part by expulsion. The advocates do nothing to address the wholesale theft by Israel of Palestinian lands for the illegal settlements and illegal wall. This theft, which has gone on for years, is not conducive to peace.
04-01-06 - Presbyterians here vote to invest, not divest, in Israel Presbyterians stunned Jews when delegates at the last General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to explore divesting from certain corporations doing business in Israel. The church said it would aim the economic sanctions at corporations contributing to violence in the region and the suffering of innocent Palestinians or Israelis, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Note the offical from the ADL labeled the Presbyterian's efforts to divest from Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians as 'anti-Semitic'. Naturally.

Lieberman's suggestion is hardly novel.

He thought that Palestinians should simply be expelled.

04-01-06 - Maestro of the Middle East Israeli Barenboim is no stranger to acts of defiance, whether in his defence of the music of Wagner, his espousal of Palestinian rights that has often put him at odds with his native country, or in a private life that at times has raised eyebrows.
