04-19-06 - Jihad leader: No barrier can stop us What greater damage than what we have experienced until today can be done? Today the entire Palestinian people is under siege. There is destruction and killing on a daily basis. Israel closes down the border crossings and suffocates the Palestinians. The army invades Palestinian communities daily, and as we have said, the army only left Jenin this morning after being here for several days. So what kind of damage are you talking about? How will this attack add to the suffering of the Palestinian people?

04-19-06 - From April 19, 1996: Massacre in Sanctuary; Eyewitness Israel's slaughter of civilians in this terrible 10-day offensive - 206 by last night - has been so cavalier, so ferocious, that not a Lebanese will forgive this massacre. There had been the ambulance attacked on Saturday, the sisters killed in Yohmor the day before, the 2-year-old girl decapitated by an Israeli missile four days ago. And earlier yesterday, the Israelis had slaughtered a family of 12 - the youngest was a four- day-old baby - when Israeli helicopter pilots fired missiles into their home.

Now they have another major objection, the U.S. occupation of Iraq -- and they clearly see the two as related

04-19-06 - A Lobby, Not a Conspiracy How are we to explain the fact that it is in Israel itself that the uncomfortable issues raised by Professors Mearsheimer and Walt have been most thoroughly aired? It was an Israeli columnist in the liberal daily Haaretz who described the American foreign policy advisers Richard Perle and Douglas Feith as "walking a fine line between their loyalty to American governments ...and Israeli interests." It was Israel's impeccably conservative Jerusalem Post that described Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense, as "devoutly pro-Israel." Are we to accuse Israelis, too, of "anti-Zionism"? The pro-Israeli media 'watchdog' CAMERA has already attacked this piece at The New York Times. It can't be all bad.
