News for 09-14-06

09-14-06 - Israeli troops kill Palestinian farmer


09-14-06 - Palestinian Killed Near Sufa Crossing as Israeli Forces Arrest Seven in the West Bank Eyewitnesses and medical sources said that Eyad Abu Moor, 23, was standing in front of his house, which is located near the Sufa commercial crossing, north of Rafah, when Israeli soldiers shot him in the head, killing him instantly.

09-14-06 - Bush: US committed to Israel's security ** After talks with Vice President Dick Cheney in Washington last week, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu said the Bush administration is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

09-14-06 - Gaza's poor struggling to survive in the face of an economic blockade Though she wasn't expecting visitors, Itidal al-Nazli, 35, was happy to display the sparse contents of her refrigerator. Despite the daily and lengthy interruptions to electricity supply since the Israelis bombed Gaza's only power station in early July, it's where she still stores the more perishable food for her family of 10 children. Yesterday morning, after the family had breakfasted on two large potatoes and an aubergine donated by a kindly neighbour, it contained six rather shrivelled peppers, a bag of coffee, three olives in a bowl, a bag of charcoal, and three bags containing crusts of bread. Quite frankly, this collective punishment and resulting abject starvation visited on these people by Israel and consequently the US is something that the Nazis would be proud of. Disgusting.

09-14-06 - Cut Off, Gazan Economy Nears Collapse


09-14-06 - Israel army contests Hamas ruling Earlier, Israeli troops killed one Palestinian during a raid in Gaza.

The BBC sees no reason to headline this death.

09-14-06 - Clearing up cluster bombs in Lebanon It is emerging that 25% to 30% of cluster bombs failed to detonate on impact, a far higher dud rate than expected. You find them on staircases and in gardens and hanging in the peach trees. Ronald Reagan had good reason to ban the sale of cluster bombs to Israel back in the 80s - because Israel was using them against Lebanese civilians back then too.


09-14-06 - Rice demands Israel recognition from Washington, where she held talks with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Ms Rice said the unity government should first accept the principles outlined by the so-called Quartet, the grouping including the US, Russia, the EU and the UN. And this as Israel is beginning to build more illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, a violation of the Road Map which was put forth by that same Quartet.

09-14-06 - Kill Arabs, Cry Anti-Semitism


09-14-06 - Ethnic Cleansing and the "Moral Instinct" the Israeli analogue of the Nuremberg laws and its construction of a state built on racial discrimination is acceptable to the enlightened West.

By implication, Israel?s creation of a body of humans who are second class citizens by law (or of a still lesser class in the occupied territories) is also acceptable. This is a unique system of ?privileged racism.?


09-14-06 - Saudi says Arab peace plan only solution Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that its 2002 Middle East peace plan remained the only framework to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, as the United Nations prepares to discuss the issue.

These have been mostly over-flights and incursions by tanks, troops and bulldozers. Mr Ivanko said that 24 Lebanese civilians - including four men from Aita al-Shaab - had been detained at gunpoint by Israeli troops. All were later released.


09-14-06 - Corrupt? Misguided? West Bank militants face heat "They don't respect the goal, which is fighting the occupation. They've been corrupted. Instead of just fighting Israel, they are involved in disputes and crime, or they just like to show off their weapons."


09-14-06 - After initial doubts on resolution, consensus emerging on Lebanon Israel's friends in Congress are backing away from earlier threats to withhold assistance from Lebanon until it provides assurances that the borders with Syria are secure and that Hezbollah is disarmed. Some legislators already are pressing hard for assistance....Israel has joined the Bush administration in calling for the immediate disbursement of assistance to Lebanon to counter the influence of Hezbollah

Wow, what a coincidence! Next, someone will discover bat feces in a cave. Will wonders never cease?!

That incident, also reported by ABC's 20/20, somehow escapes Shapiro's attention.
