News for 06-18-06

06-18-06 - Abbas urges Arabs to block Israel's plan


06-18-06 - Olmert rejects international probe into Gaza beach deaths "We will never agree to become subject to an investigation by international bodies," Olmert told ministers during a weekly cabinet meeting. The former Pentagon official points to plenty of evidence that it was an Israeli shell that caused the massacre on the Gaza beach. The IDF has been shelling civilian areas for weeks now - which has resulted in the deaths of other children. The Hamas mine story is about as credible as saying the attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken identity.


06-18-06 - EU wins backing to send £70m aid to Gaza and West Bank Worth around $126m (£70m), the plan will give money to healthcare suppliers, utility companies and individuals in extreme need but will not pay the salaries of thousands of Palestinian Authority staff


06-18-06 - UN ups food handouts in Gaza Strip The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) began distributing emergency food aid to an additional 90,000 Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip.


06-18-06 - Palestinians predict breakthrough in factional talks Palestinian factions are moving towards agreement on a statehood initiative implicitly recognizing Israel and could reach a deal early this week aimed at ending deadly internecine clashes, officials said.


06-18-06 - Palestinian National Football Team Sabotaged I am writing to urge the suspension of Israel?s FIFA membership until it stops interfering in and obstructing Palestinian national representation in football and other international arenas.



06-18-06 - Israel extremists threaten hell over West Bank pullouts A draft battle plan, seeking to incite a third Palestinian uprising in the vein of the intifadas of 1987-93 and 2000 until today, has been drawn up and handed out to sympathisers at an award ceremony for a dissident Jewish conscript...."We are going to create an atmosphere of terror," They already do.


06-18-06 - Israel, Palestinians set to gain Red Cross membership Syria says Israel is neglecting the health needs of the 25,000 Syrian citizens who live in the Golan, which Israel annexed in 1981 after taking over in 1967. Israel rejects that argument.


06-18-06 - Israel court rejects barrier route change Nearly 2 years ago, the International Court of Justice ruled that this barrier is illegal whereever it confiscates any Palestinian land. E. Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank are Palestinian land.


06-18-06 - Aid plan draws muted Palestinian response


06-18-06 - PA to import power from Egypt, bypass Israeli grid The Palestinian government plans to build an electrical facility in Egypt that will allow it to take power from Egypt, weaning itself off more expensive Israeli electricity, a Palestinian official said on Sunday.


06-18-06 - Egypt and Jordan discuss "Arab differences" At the Red Sea resort, Mubarak and Abdullah also discussed the Palestinian question and how to push forward the inter-Palestinian dialogue.


06-18-06 - On Boycotts, Activism, and Moral Standards The thought of becoming yet another person to abandon the Palestinians was abhorrent. And it was obvious that Iraq would further divert American and world attention from Israel's occupation, perhaps one of the war?s many intended results. So I stayed at my post. It remains a difficult decision today, but I do not regret it. Does it constitute a "moral double standard"?


06-18-06 - High-ranking Israeli Arab army officer sentenced to 15 years on spying charges Lt.-Col. Omar el-Heib, 43, denied spying for Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon, and accused the military court in Tel Aviv of racism after the sentence was handed down. "I didn't confess, I won't confess," el-Heib told reporters. "I didn't do anything. The only reason they are coming after me is because I am an Arab."
Seems the only people in the IDF that Israel WILL prosecute for anything are the Arab/Druze.


06-18-06 - Gaza goes back to its beaches


06-18-06 - Israelis killing Palestinians, and vice versa The Irgun, a Jewish terrorist organization that morphed into the Likud, first targeted Arab civilians in October 1937. In his history of Israel's War of Independence, "Righteous Victims," Benny Morris writes that the Irgun "introduced a new dimension to the conflict" when "for the first time, massive bombs were placed in crowded Arab centers, and dozens of people were indiscriminately murdered and maimed." Morris writes that in 1937, "this 'innovation' soon found Arab imitators."


06-18-06 - Gaza gov't workers receiving U.N. food aid for first time


06-18-06 - Israeli town to go on strike in protest against Qassam attacks

06-18-06 - From Columbus: Ateek and others honored by Episcopal Peace Fellowship for reconciliation work


06-18-06 - S. African Christians host pro-Israel parley "South Africans need to be informed that the story of the blacks and the story of the Palestinians are totally different, and that the accusations against Israel of racism, colonialism, and apartheid are a big fraud, and are outrageous lies which are reminiscent of Nazi-era propaganda," In other words, South Africans need to be Ziofied.


06-18-06 - New UN rights body under pressure to prove itself European countries have warned they will not allow Israel to be the only one signaled out for censure. Its routine condemnation, in resolutions repeated year after year, symbolized for many the sterility of the old commission.
