12-15-06 - Netanyahu wants Iran president tried for genocide at The Hague ** Netanyahu says Israel must get the Americans to take action, not just with words but through an act of Congress. Really now. That shouldn't take much given that about 99% of our Congress is beholden to AIPAC.
12-15-06 - Jerusalem by numbers: changing birthrates if the Arab women of Jerusalem have started to have fewer children because they apparently study more and thus work more outside their homes, there is no assurance that at the end of that year we shall see fewer Arab babies born. "The demographic issue is and always has been a major issue on the political agenda,"....."In the beginning, if we follow our suggestions, we will annex places like Azariya and Abu Dis, which means that we will have more Palestinians," he says. "But in the long run, taking into account the results of our survey on the lowering birthrate of Palestinian women versus the raising of the Jewish birthrate in Jerusalem, we will save Jerusalem."
This kind of talk is absolutely disgusting. This is evidently Israeli 'democracy'.

12-15-06 - New polls highlight issues of US policy in Mideast, hopes for renewing regional peace process Asked if they agree that Palestinians are entitled to equal rights, 79.1 percent said "yes," while 12.8 percent disagreed.....Perhaps more surprising, the poll shows that a small plurality of those surveyed (38.8 percent to 37.1 percent) said that US support for Israel weakens US security. There was also a strong division based on the race of those surveyed. Say I wonder, who are the 12.8 percent?....
12-15-06 - 'This looks like civil war' - Palestinians battle on the streets Divide and conquer.
12-15-06 - At-Tuwani Update: 19 November - 13 December 2006 After finishing the morning school escort, the soldiers drove up to the home
of a Palestinian family in At-Tuwani. One of the men from the family was
standing outside the house. The soldiers told him to go inside. When he
refused, they held a gun to his head, kicked him and shoved him in the
house. They also shoved his elderly mother who came out to see what was
happening. The soldiers then accompanied a Palestinian farmer out to his field. Five
adult settlers and a small child came out of the outpost and stood in front
of the tractors, preventing the farmers from plowing. The army, police and
civil administration watched, but did nothing to stop the settlers. Sounds like the KKK is alive in well - in Israel. And it's state-sanctioned.

12-15-06 - Palestinians with foreign passports on shaky ground for Rabi, 41, paradise is threatened. The Israelis have forced a choice of agonizing difficulty upon him. They have told his wife, Issedh, who has a U.S. passport and no permanent Palestinian identification document, that she cannot return to the West Bank if she leaves. Rabi must follow her to Brooklyn and forsake his aging and sick parents and this house he has dreamed of from age 16, or he must say goodbye to his wife.
12-15-06 - Analysis: Poll increases pressure on Olmert Under Rumsfeld, Israeli military officials had the run of the Pentagon and enjoyed unprecedented access to Rumsfeld and his top officials. They could count on the enormous clout of the DoD, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Rumsfeld himself to block any diplomatic initiatives by the Bush administration that the Israeli government did not like. But once Gates is running OSD, he appears far more likely to make common cause with Rice to pressure the Israelis to make new concessions on reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.....the findings of the UPI-Zogby poll will clearly strengthen the hand of the Baker-Rice-Gates forces that want to revive the peace process and push Israel to make new concessions or offers to get it going. That will not be welcome news in the prime minister's office in Jerusalem.
