12-27-06 - A Palestinian view of Jimmy Carter's book

12-27-06 - Carter Receives Cold Shoulder "True sensitivity to Israel and American Jews would be demonstrated by ceasing these one-sided attacks and apologising for damaging the good name of the State of Israel and the Jewish people" News flash: neither the Jewish people nor the state of Israel are above criticism.

12-27-06 - In defense of Palestinians
12-27-06 - Palestinians depicted unfairly in strife with Israel But where in this imbalanced and disingenuous editorial is mention made of a far greater number of civilian Palestinian fatalities - men, women and children, victims of home demolition and reckless reprisal attacks against Israel's many political enemies? To omit this part of the dark chapter in the Israeli/Palestinian story is to go beyond racism to a "place" where Arabs in that region are reduced to evil figures in a video game or, perhaps worse, human pestilence.
12-27-06 - U.S. finally admits Arafat murdered American officials Now go to the PDF file and read it (it's only 2 pages long). Where in that document from the State Department does it prove Joe Farah's (a known Christian Zionist) allegations? Here is the only pertinent information from the PDF file "but when they
became convinced that their demands would not be met and after
they reportedly had received orders from Fatah headquarters
in Beirut, they killed the two United States officials and
the Belgian Charge". THAT'S Farah's proof? Why does it say 'REPORTEDLY'? The NSA should release the tapes - it's strange that it chooses not to, given that it WOULD release tapes that allegedly exonerate Israel in its attack on the USS Liberty ( the tapes did no such thing in that case).

12-27-06 - He's back: Redmond returns from Hebron What we witness we will be writing in a report, and we will release a report. There are three important issues we observed: 1) the wall, 2) the roads Palestinians can't drive down without being arrested and only Israelis can travel, and 3) school patrols-in Hebron they have built these settlements. they resemble upscale condos you might see here in the states. Next to the settlements are the Palestinian neighborhoods, and these neighborhoods are not as nice. One of the things happening is the Israeli adult settlers attack the children, and nothing is being done. I personally escorted children, and the settlers would yell, "Go back to USA, this our land!"
