05-26-06 - Steering Into a Third Intifada by Patrick J. Buchanan Rightly, Americans say we will not let Israel be destroyed. But why must we acquiesce in Israel's annexations of Arab land? Why must we remain silent to her deprivations of the Palestinians?

05-26-06 - College Chief Hit Over Anti-Israel Events Some Jewish leaders contend that the administration has not gone far enough to address what they view as hate speech, particularly in light of findings and recommendations issued in early April by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The commission, an advisory body whose recommendations are not binding, held a hearing in November 2005 to address the issue of campus antisemitism. Among the commission's findings was that "anti-Israel" or "anti-Zionist" activism often serves as a thin guise for antisemitism on college campuses. Criticism of Israel is NOT anti-Semitism, although the Israeli lobby would have us Americans believe otherwise.

Of interest: "Israel is secretly playing a key role in US preparations for possible war with Iraq, helping to train soldiers and Marines for urban warfare," it said.

05-26-06 - Crushed by Gate of Occupation
05-26-06 - HENRY HYDE'S PLEA by Robert Novak Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, sent along with his letter a five-page, single-spaced report prepared by his staff based on visits to Israel and Palestine over the past two years.

05-26-06 - In Gaza, Palestinians see fruits of labor die Rather than exporting the produce to Europe, as was the plan, the Palestinians were forced to give away some of the cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and strawberries to charity groups. Most, however, was dumped in the surrounding sand dunes. (The PEDC made good on a pledge not to sell their produce in the Gaza markets, undercutting other growers here.)

Olmert says he will ask the U.S. for funds. We are being asked to pay for an Israeli withdrawal of settlers that the Israeli government 'settled' in the occupied Palestinian territories in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention (article 49). This is wholesale extortion of the American taxpayers to get Israel to make peace and undo what it shouldn't have done in the first place.
05-26-06 - Israel's American Constituency Even as Olmert met with President George W. Bush at the White House Tuesday, the House voted by an overwhelming 361-37 margin to impose strict conditions on aid to Palestinians, as demanded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Washington's most powerful pro-Israel lobby.
