News for 11-19-06

11-19-06 - Elderly man killed in Israeli strike on Gaza car Seven other Palestinians -- including five children -- were also wounded.



11-19-06 - UN agency: Two schoolchildren hurt by stray IDF gunfire in Gaza Stray Israeli gunfire hit a United Nations school in the northern Gaza Strip, wounding two children, including a 7-year-old boy who was hit in the head as he sat as his desk, United Nations officials said Sunday....Minutes later, a 12-year-old girl was shot in the leg as students were being evacuated from the building. 'stray gunfire', mm k. Another student shot in the leg as students were being evacuated. Doesn't sound like it was 'stray gunfire' to me.


11-19-06 - Haaretz: "25-year-old Palestinian shot for protesting IDF's treatment of women"


11-19-06 - Israeli rescue services say Palestinian militants fire rockets at Israeli town


11-19-06 - Abbas accepts Shubair to be new Palestinian prime minister


11-19-06 - Israel 'asks victims to foot hospital bills' While Israel accepted full responsibility for the Beit Hanoun shelling and promised to pay for medical treatment, authorities in Gaza are livid they were forced to provide financial guarantees to Israeli hospitals.


11-19-06 - Palestinians Flee Village of Tuba due to the Invasion of 50 Israeli Settlers This is the latest example in this area of settler violence towards
Palestinians, which again has evoked no response from the Israeli
authorities.



11-19-06 - Hamas seeks guarantees on ending Western sanctions


11-19-06 - Israeli ambassador: Olmert advised to ignore UN Still, even before it began its work, it was obvious that it would have a difficult time operating in the area since Israel would not be in any hurry to cooperate with the investigation ? even if it would not publicly declare so.


11-19-06 - Israeli envoy slams French support for UN resolution


11-19-06 - German globe maker 'establishes' Palestine Pro-Israel advocacy groups campaign around the globe against the use of the word Palestine, since no such country exists, but it turns out that globes being sold in Israel bear the term.

Palestine was on the maps before Israel's creation. It's why the British mandate of the region was called the Palestine Mandate. So, what happened that Palestine is no more? Who/what literally 'wiped (Palestine)off the map'?


11-19-06 - Bolton is Israel's secret weapon, says Gillerman According to Arutz Sheva, Gillerman told the Jewish assembly the Israeli delegation to the United Nations is not five people as most believe, but six, including Bolton, who is the Israeli government's secret weapon. Bolton in no way represents the US at the UN, it is clear.


11-19-06 - Palestinians use human shield to halt Israeli air strike on militants' homes It is likely that Israel will have to find a new way of destroying homes as yesterday's protest began to be copied elsewhere. What Israel will likely do is simply stop giving the Palestinians advanced notice. That a similar article by the AP was trotted all over the mainstream American news all day (at least on front page of Yahoo) allows for the following translation: Israel good, Arabs bad. Meaning, that Israel took care to not bomb all of those 'innocent civilians' is newsworthy here in the States. When the fact is: the only thing stopping Israel from bombing all of those people is that, as demonstrated in the Beit Hanoun incident, the press in America WILL give ample coverage to the deaths of Palestinians - provided that it is a large number of them killed at one time. And Israel cares more about its image in the US than it does about Arabs - civilian or otherwise. Morality had nothing to do with the decision NOT to bomb all of those people.


11-19-06 - Israel ups the stakes in the propaganda war Gissin was not down-hearted. He declared there to be a "war on the web" in which Israel had a new weapon, a piece of computer software called the "internet megaphone". Read the entire article and note the lengths to which pro-Israelis will go to push their propaganda on anyone and everyone.


11-19-06 - Al-Jazeera and the Truth Al-Jazeera shows you the grim reality. When the Israelis kill children, they show you the bodies and the weeping mothers. They show you all the ugly truth about Israeli and American policies and actions in the Middle East. They show you what war looks like.


11-19-06 - Is the Next Congress For Sale?


11-19-06 - What's the problem with the UN Register of Damage caused by Israel's Wall in the occupied Palestinian territories?


11-19-06 - Jordan rejects Israeli minister's call for ignoring Abbas The Jordanian government on Sunday rejected a an Israeli cabinet minister's call for the Palestinian Authority to be ignored and replaced as Israel's peace partner with Jordan.


11-19-06 - Many Palestinians feel isolation will endure "People can get to Jerusalem from Hawaii, but not from here," said Salahuddin, the taxi driver. "I'm 58 years old and I can't go to pray in Jerusalem. I want to go to pray, not to destroy Israel."


11-19-06 - Gaza Doctors: Israel used a strange weapon against Palestinian victims


11-19-06 - Poll: Most Palestinians say Qassams detrimental Survey released by An-Najah University in Nablus indicates 61 percent of Palestinians believe rocket attacks on Israel are harmful; 65.7 percent support limiting armed struggle to West Bank, and 68 percent say they will not leave to another country


11-19-06 - Federalist Society's Annual Lawyers Convention Featured Speaker Michael Chertoff Scroll down to the section about Israel's wall. Now isn't it a coincidence that Chertoff - whose mother was Israeli - is advocating against international law and citing the ICJ's opinion on Israel's wall as an example of why America should disregard said law. Notice his spin on the issue. And then read the actual decision here. The issue is not with the wall itself - the issue is that this wall is unlawfully built within occupied Palestinian land. Pro-Israelis seem to have an awfully hard time grasping that concept.


11-19-06 - Israel must create peace, official says Israel must come up with its own peace plan with the Palestinians rather than wait for other plans, Israel's second most powerful politician said Sunday. This in response to Israel's wholesale rejection of the plan offered up by Spain and the rest of the EU. Israel wants peace on its own terms - which is the reason why none of these peace plans have been implemented. Palestinians seek justice based on international law. And that's not something that Israel will ever agree to (especially since we allow them to get away with violating it).


11-19-06 - Chief Palestinian Justice calling for freedom of worship


11-19-06 - Olmert: UN should condemn Palestinian gunmen, not Israel PM expresses faith in IDF, says UN decision to condemn Israel over errant killing of Palestinians in Gaza a 'severe development'; vows to strengthen Sderot residents Olmert is under the assumption that the world buys the bs about 'errant killing'. It's like saying that Israel's attack on the USS Liberty was a case of 'mistaken identity'...


11-19-06 - Israelis forbidden to drive Palestinians in West Bank


11-19-06 - WSU law professor candidate protested Stand With Us, a group of Jewish activists that seeks to protect the interests of the state of Israel on campuses, in libraries and in other settings They seek to do this in the UNITED STATES. Why is that? They want to control EVERYTHING Americans see, hear, read, etc etc etc. It's ridiculous.


11-19-06 - From Nov 2002: After Iraq, Bush Will Attack His Real Target The real target of the coming war is Iran, which Israel views as its principal and most dangerous enemy. Iraq merely serves as a pretext to whip America into a war frenzy and to justify insertion of large numbers of U.S. troops into Mesopotamia


11-19-06 - Brit war critic takes us to task It is an "an absolute scandalous disgrace," that Canadians are "fighting for democracy in Afghanistan while starving Palestinians because they democratically elected a government (Canada) does not like."
