These governments assumed this responsibility in light of Israel?s failure to do so although, as the occupying power, it is Israel that has the primary responsibility under international law "to ensure that the basic needs of the population in the occupied territories are met." Israel's stated goal is to "put the Palestinians on a diet".

04-25-06 - Another McCarthyite Smear Job: A Top Middle East Scholar, Juan Cole, is Falsely Accused of Being "ANTI-SEMITIC" to Stop Yale From Hiring Him Not surprisingly, Mr. Fund uses the McCarthyite tactic of guilt by association to fabricate his otherwise-nonexistent case against Juan Cole.
