07-01-06 - Palestine 'ready to trade' captured Israeli soldier there was no relief for Gaza yesterday as the sonic booms of Israeli attacks from sea and air could be heard every hour. An airstrike on an electricity plant left homes and hospitals without essential power while the World Food Programme, which helps feed about 600,000 people in the occupied territories, says that many Palestinians are now living on one meal a day, and there has a been a rise in anaemia and kidney problems due to poor nutrition.
07-01-06 - Bush says Israeli soldier's release 'key' to resolving Gaza crisis "The president said that the initial goal should be freeing the Israeli soldier; that is the key to ending the crisis," Bush gives Israel the wink and nod to continue its war crimes against the Palestinian people.
07-01-06 - Bitter Gazans await their fate After nearly 40 years of Israeli occupation, Palestinian society is filled with a sense of having endured vast injustice. It is mired in despair and badly divided. There are too many guns, too many armed factions - and not nearly enough hope of something better to come.
07-01-06 - Fuel supplies in Gaza drying up The water company and hospitals have had to rely on generators for an uninterrupted power supply since an Israeli airstrike destroyed Gaza's only power plant Tuesday night as part of an offensive to pressure militants to release an abducted soldier. Israel also sealed Gaza's cargo terminal and turned off the gasoline pipeline feeding Gaza, and the supply of fuel for the generators has rapidly dwindled........"If the fuel runs out, people in intensive care units and babies in incubators will immediately die,"
07-01-06 - Haniyeh urges action on Israeli strikes
07-01-06 - Palestinian official: Israeli cpl. alive Meanwhile, the fuel supply in Gaza dwindled after Israel cut off the flow through a pipeline. Gas stations across the territory ran dry, and human rights groups worried that if fuel shipments were not restored in the coming days, Gaza could face a humanitarian crisis as generators used to pump water and power hospitals stopped working.
"We have enough to last between three to seven days. If we don't get a new supply, it will be an environmental disaster,"
07-01-06 - 'We will halt tanks with human mines' Palestinian militants preparing for an expected Israeli armoured assault on Gaza have vowed to deploy suicide bombers against advancing tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
07-01-06 - Israeli strike on Gaza power plant will cost US U.S. officials would not say whether Washington would ask Israel for reimbursement Ask Israel for reimbursement?! Deduct it from the billions in aid we give to them. See how they like them apples. This act was a war crime in the first place.

07-01-06 - Two years on, dangerous Temple Mount ramp will finally be removed Archaeologist Meir Ben-Dov warned yesterday that any digging in the area could lead to bloodshed. "Digging in this place goes way beyond the archaeological sphere. This place is far too sensitive and the price would be much too high," he said. However, a reliable source told Haaretz that "now that the Palestinian Authority is paralyzed and incapable of resisting, it's an excellent opportunity to carry out the plan."
07-01-06 - Plan to befriend Palestinian town Swindon Stop The War Coalition and CND are hosting a public meeting on Tuesday where Joanne Moston, a health visitor from Gloucester, will be describing her experiences after several trips working in refugee camps in Palestine.
07-01-06 - Crime in the Valley - Life on the Other Side of Palestine The lack of international attention means the land grab in the Valley goes unnoticed, for despite being on the Jordanian side of Palestine, Israel has invested large sums of money making this area a permanent part of their state, and a permanent obstacle to the emergence of Palestine.
07-01-06 - Arab League calls on US to stop blaming Syria During a Security Council debate on the stand-off over the Israeli corporal held in the Gaza Strip, US ambassador John Bolton held Syria partly responsible for the raid in which the soldier was seized last Sunday because it hosts offices of Islamic militant group Hamas. John Bolton - the shill for Israel at the UN.
07-01-06 - Israel's Influence Two political scientists argue that the Israel lobby wields extraordinary influence over U.S. foreign policy. We'll hear different perspectives on its power in Washington. Audio link to the right.
07-01-06 - FBI and Western Union helped Israel With targeted assassinations The Homeland Security Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill last week aimed at further increasing intelligence ties with Israel and other countries by establishing a new office for international cooperation programs within the Department of Homeland Security. This atmosphere of cooperation, Suskind states in his book, has reinforced the sense that President George Bush wants to assist Israel and was not disturbed by the military operations that Ariel Sharon's government authorized in the territories. Suskind quotes Bush as saying during his first National Security Council meeting that the U.S. must refrain from active mediation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Homeland Security Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives evidently does not put the interests of the American people first. Not many on Capitol Hill these days do. Hence the reason for the statement: America is Israeli-occupied territory.
07-01-06 - Western countries and Japan vote against Palestinian issue on Human Rights Council's agenda Although the US succeeded today in thwarting off a draft presented by Algeria to the UN Security Council condemning the Israeli occupation forces' military offensive against the Palestinians of the Occupied Territories, Arab and other Muslim states yesterday won a decision of the UN Human Rights Council to keep Israel in the United Nations dock for abuses in the occupied territories.....Britain, Canada, France, Germany and Japan voted against.

07-01-06 - Yemeni women donate to Palestinian women and children
07-01-06 - Gaza offensive earns shrugs in Israel There is little sense of a looming crisis that will tear into Israeli's lives like the suicide blasts or major call-ups of army reserves. Outside a synagogue, the talk Saturday was all about new bank credit laws that just took effect. Along the Mediterranean coast, beaches and restaurants were full.
07-01-06 - Man charged with funding alleged Hamas organization to be bailed
07-01-06 - Israeli rally opposes Gaza offensive Demonstrators gathered in front of the home of Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, on Saturday carrying signs saying "No to attacks on civilians" and "No military solution," witnesses said
07-01-06 - Israeli Threat Memo John Davitt, formerly the head of the Justice Department?s Internal Security Section, was quote as stating the Israeli intelligence services were "more active than anyone but the KGB?.They were targeted on the United States about half the time and on Arab countries about half the time." It is especially important to read the articles by Steven Green for the Christian Science Monitor towards the bottom of the page. If Americans knew the extent of which our government has been compromised by a foreign entity, they would rise up in arms. The author is dead wrong in the very last paragraph on the page, though. I doubt anyone in the intelligence community would support Pollard's release. Preposterous.
07-01-06 - Israel's act of war is inexcusable Israel has frequently resorted to the doctrine of disproportionate response: not an eye for an eye, but 10 or 20 Palestinian deaths for every Israeli loss.

07-01-06 - Israel gears up for diplomatic offensive Israel is preparing a diplomatic offensive to be launched over the next couple of days to deflect the image abroad that the recent IDF actions have put Gaza on the verge of a catastrophic humanitarian crisis Rather than refraining from committing war crimes, Israel would prefer to whitewash them instead. The US press will lap it up though. Note in paragraphs 4,5 and 7 the sense of satisfaction Israel got from support from 'abroad' - namely, the green light from Bush for Israel to continue its war crimes, and that Bolton was" even more adamant in his support for Israel's actions".
07-01-06 - Israel must 'take back the narrative' Message to Cotler: leveling the slur of anti-Semitism will no longer work. People are tired of it, and it does not excuse Israel's actions in the Occupied Territories.
07-01-06 - Goal of Israel's military action is questioned Is it to free captive soldier, teach Hamas a lesson or topple Hamas government?
07-01-06 - The problem with arrogance
