"They are taking away a segment of the population that could help most with state-building."

In particular, article 11 which states: "Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;" Chutzpah.

10-22-06 - A call to abolish cluster bombs Cluster munitions are not banned weapons, but their use in civilian areas violates the international ban on the use of indiscriminate weapons.

10-22-06 - Olmert, Abbas agree to continue working on future talks
10-22-06 - Robert Fisk: We've all been veiled from the truth at no point is it made clear that Deir Yassin was just one among many villages in which the inhabitants were butchered - this was particularly the case in Galilee - and the women raped by Jewish fighters. Israel's "new" historians have already bravely disclosed these facts, along with the irrefutable evidence that they served Israel's purpose of dispossessing 750,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes in what was to become Israel.

10-22-06 - Israel admits phosphorus bombing Lebanese President Emile Lahoud said in late July: "According to the Geneva Convention, when they use phosphorus bombs and laser bombs, is that allowed against civilians and children?" We used phosphorous too - in Iraq. But due to the inordinate amount of civilians Israel killed in Lebanon (disproportionate to the amount of Hezbollah fighters that they killed), it's safe to say that it was likely used against the Lebanese civvies. Our army isn't perfect, but for the most part, our guys don't harbor the animosity toward Arabs that the Israelis do.
10-22-06 - The post-Israel Middle East The Zionists have put all their eggs in the basket of American support, but that basket has developed two holes. One is the paradox that support for the Zionist series of wars and conflicts has so weakened the United States that it is no longer a reliable ally. Faced with a real crisis in Korea, the Americans are powerless to do anything, and have to rely on China to fix things. Some Israelis are already setting up shop in China. And then there's this. I predicted as much a couple of years ago on a message board.

10-22-06 - Peace with Syria should be explored: Israeli DM However, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has dismissed Assad's remarks about peace with Israel and declared that he would never give back the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights were seized by Israel during the Six Day War - a war that Syria did not start. Some say that Israel's plans to seize this prized piece of land were the reason they attacked and tried to sink the USS Liberty and all aboard - because the US would not have supported this plan if she discovered it (via the Liberty's surveillance).
10-22-06 - Israel: Flights over Lebanon to continue French Maj. Gen. Alain Pelligrini, who leads the U.N. peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, said last week that the overflights are a major concern.
