11-20-06 - Israeli army disobeyed order not to use cluster bombs: TV For its part, the Internet site of the Yediot Aharonot daily said an initial probe by the army had determined that Israeli artillery used the munitions contrary to a ban by Halutz. Months later they discover this? Please. This is simply the latest in a series of Israel's attempts to correct its image in the world, nothing more. And for the record, Halutz was behind this incident. It's unlikely that he gives a rat's about using cluster bombs on Arabs.


11-20-06 - Cheney, the neocons and Israel work together again - this time, Iran **


11-20-06 - Israeli Army invades Hebron city and takes three prisoners


11-20-06 - The Gewalt agenda Olmert is foiling any possible progress on this track: On his way home from Los Angeles, the prime minister "calmed" the reporters - and perhaps even himself - by saying there is no danger of U.S. President George W. Bush accepting the expected recommendations of the Baker-Hamilton panel, and attempting to move Syria out of the axis of evil and into a coalition to extricate America from Iraq. The prime minister hopes the Jewish lobby can rally a Democratic majority in the new Congress to counter any diversion from the status quo on the Palestinians. Note the source (horse's mouth).


11-20-06 - IDF admits targeting civilian areas in Lebanon with cluster bombs According to the officer, in order to compensate for the rockets' lack of precision, they were told to "flood" the area with them. "We have no option of striking an isolated target, and the commanders know this very well," he said. Strange, because that's exactly what Hezbollah did with its rocket fire toward Israeli civilian population centers. One is no better than the other.


11-20-06 - Previously unknown group warns of 'Shiite death squads' preparing to attack Sunni Muslims in Lebanon The statement's authenticy could not immediately be verified.

More collaberators with Israel, perhaps?


11-20-06 - Shabbat Shalom Moments later, Britton glancing through the checkpoint, could see one
of the internationals on the ground. Rushing through, the CPTers
found it was a 19 year old Swedish nonviolent human rights activist,
Tove Johansson. Her face was bloody from a lacerated eyebrow. Her
left cheek was swollen. One of the internationals told Britton that
while they were waiting for the CPTers and Palestinian boy to pass
through the check point, one of the men in the Jewish group asked
them, "Do you think Jesus was gay?" Then some of the men began
spitting and kicking the internationals. It was then that Johansson
was hit with the empty bottle.
There are photos of this incident down at the very bottom of this page.

11-20-06 - Stalemate over West Bank settlements We were there, a small group of witnesses, to try to make sure that the settlers did not simply attack the Arab families with their automatic weapons and truncheons, as they had done in the past..... this is not the real reason that Baker is disliked by Jews. He is also the only U.S. secretary of State since the Camp David accords in 1979 to have taken credible action against the proliferation of Jewish settlements like Havat Maon. In 1991, he and the first President Bush got the Senate to hold up a program of American loan guarantees for Israel that were earmarked to help settle Russian Jewish immigrants; he had tried, and failed, to elicit a promise from then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir not to use any of this money for expanding settlements. This is proof positive, Jews tell themselves, that he is "anti-Israel."

An attack on Iran by Israel would automatically involve us in it.
