04-20-06 - Breaking Up Bomb Plots--and Habitats? Besides disrupting the flow of surface water, Garb says the barrier could damage the region's unique ecosystems by blocking animal migration Why can't Israel build the wall on the Green Line - or the internationally recognized border- rather than such that it confiscates large swaths of PALESTINIAN land?

04-20-06 - Berkeley Arts Center Sticks With Principles Has the United State become such a Zionist lap-dog that Israeli chutzpah will begin to trump our freedom of expression?
