11-01-06 - Hamas Proposes Hudna to End Ceaseless, Senseless Gaza Violence This important initiative has not been picked up by the Israeli newspapers, even Haaretz, and it seems likely that it will go unrecognized by Jerusalem and Washington as so many worthwhile initiatives from the Middle East have in recent years.
11-01-06 - Pause for Peace When Hamas gives its word to an international agreement, it does so in the name of God and will therefore keep its word. Hamas has honored its previous cease-fires, as Israelis grudgingly note with the oft-heard words, "At least with Hamas they mean what they say." He's got a point...

11-01-06 - 20 Palestinians register crop theft In the first case the organizations dealt with, on October 25, a group of settlers allegedly attacked farmers from the village of Farata who were harvesting their olives in an orchard one kilometer from the illegal settlement outpost of Gilad Farm, near Kedumim in Samaria. After soldiers arrived at the scene, the settlers attacked the farmers, who retaliated by throwing rocks. Five Palestinians were injured in the melee, including one seriously. The assailants reportedly stole sacks of olives and spilled the contents of a few of them on the ground What kind of vile heathens rob an already impoverished people of what little they have? I don't get that. And why does our government reward such behavior?

11-01-06 - Wave of change likely to wash away pro-Israel politicians Those monitoring the election from the Israel perspective are somewhat disappointed and cautiously concerned by Santorum's likely defeat and by Sherrod Brown. Santorum has been one of Israel's most important friends in the Senate. Even those who disagree with his worldview can not deny his steady support for Israel. Not that his rival, Bob Casey, is suspected of being anti-Israel. "He will be fine," says an experienced observer but "Santorum was much more than fine." Almost all of our representatives on Capitol Hill are 'pro-Israel politicians'. Unfortunately for AMERICA, that is not going to change any time soon.+

11-01-06 - Blair's Syrian peace initiative fails to impress The White House also distanced itself from Mr Blair's initiative.

he answered. The settler responded, "Then f--k you."
11-01-06 - HEBRON: Olive Harvest One settler woman holding a baby began yelling at the Palestinian owner, "You
are all terrorists! You want to kill the Jews! You killed my father!" He
replied, "No, I'm not a terrorist. I haven't killed any Jews, and my family
protected Jews during the massacre of 1929." Then the woman also claimed the
olive trees belonged to her and shouted at him, "If you want to pick olives, go
to Tel Aviv to pick olives!" She kicked one of the olive pickers causing him to
lose his balance and fall. Another settler hit a Palestinian nonviolent activist
in the face, injuring him slightly. The young man did not retaliate. These settlers are total psychos. They have attacked not just Palestinians but also foreign nationals. They beat two elderly Americans, and of course, our government did NOTHING.

"There are not two separate policies for the region, there is one policy: it's the Israeli-American policy. The Europeans need to decide on their options for the future. Do they want their position to be identical with the Americans and thereby incur the same hatred that exists towards America?"
That's because US policy in the region is crafted in Tel Aviv, not Washington.

11-01-06 - Soros a Zionist? That would be great AIPAC has, in truth, been highly effective in pushing through Congress Israel's messages, and in blocking anything that might be construed as anti-Israel. It has been a vital ally in advancing Israel's policies in the United States. There can be no doubt that without AIPAC our position in Washington would be very much weaker.
11-01-06 - Olmert: A decision on how to deal with Gaza to be made soon Olmert was also quick to warn of a pending humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and said that unless it is contained, it can deteriorate into a humanitarian disaster. He said Israel was not to blame for the situation Israel is not to blame for the humanitarian crisis? Who is withholding millions of dollars worth of customs duties from the Palestinian Authority, thereby depriving doctors, teachers, policemen and others of their salaries, and forcing them into poverty? I suppose it was the Pope. Couldn't possibly be Israel's fault....
