However, US officials have said that because of the evidence, the US government feels it cannot diplomatically engage Syria or Iran, an approach advocated recently by several leading Republicans, including former Secretary of State James Baker. Read that again. The neocons in Cheney's office and the Pentagon are behind the 'evidence', no doubt. Israel-lovers can't stand James Baker.
11-02-06 - Syria, Iran dismiss U.S. accusation on Lebanon The Syrian newspaper said the United States should make public any evidence of the alleged Syrian role in efforts to topple the Lebanese government. U.S. officials say the information is classified.

11-02-06 - An article from the AEI, neocon central Deploy More Than the Military. Recent elections in the Palestinian territories and Egypt have brought disconcerting results that suggest democratizing the Middle East may be more difficult than we imagined. Naturally, we're treated to the same mantra that neoconservative is a code word for 'Jew', among other things. But the above paragraph spells out to you what I've known all along: the very definition of the idea of democracy that these neocons have in mind for the Middle East. For, there is no question of whether the elections in Egypt and the Palestinian Territories were democratic or not -they were. The problem that these neocons have with them is that parties not friendly to Israel were elected. Neocon democracy defined: elect Israel-frienldy regimes - or else. And you may note the second to the last topic addressed starts with 'Prepare to bomb Iran'. Same sh$t, different year.

11-02-06 - Iraq exit strategy The prospect of a Palestinian state in the foreseeable future looked even dimmer with the creation of a newly-formed evangelical Christian organization in the U.S. that aims to include all pro-Israel Christians, and, according to its founder, will soon make it the single most powerful Christian organization in America. "We are a one-issue organization -- and the issue is Israel, Israel and then Israel," Here's an idea: why don't you move there? Leave the rest of us out it.
11-02-06 - Vatican document on two-state solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict
11-02-06 - Israeli Left-Right Divide Unmasked as Phony Anti-Arab racism, for example, is currently approaching epidemic levels among Israeli Jews; "earlier this year, an opinion poll found that more than two-thirds of Israeli Jews would refuse to live in the same building as an Arab and half would not allow an Arab in their home. Among those surveyed 41% wanted entertainment facilities to be segregated, 18% said that they felt hatred when they heard Arabic spoken and 40% thought Israel should 'support the emigration of Arab citizens'," Anti-Arab sentiment by Zionists is not new. This was par for the course by the first settlers and leaders of that movement back in the late 1800s who saw Arabs as inferior and felt that they must either submit or be cast out. This was to be a Jewish state for Jews only. Same sh@t, different century.

11-02-06 - ADL blocks Israel critics from speaking at school "I feel that the Wheels of Justice is not the right group to represent the Palestinian perspective because their emphasis is less on education and more on propaganda," Goldstein said. "I am not afraid of ideas, even radical ones. (But) students weren't properly prepared for what they would hear." The ADL decides what you will and won't hear about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Your freedom is being eroded by the fundamentalism of a different color.
