Happy New Year, all. My New Year's prediction: There will be a MAJOR PR effort on the part of Israel and its agents in the US to try to undo the grave damage inflicted this past month on Israel's image.
12-30-06 - Abbas arrives in Gaza for Eid celebrations Just before he left Ramallah, president Abbas slammed the decision of Israel?s Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, not to release Palestinian detainees before the Muslim holiday.
12-30-06 - Northern West Bank journalist spending his third Eid Al Adha in Israeli prison without charge Israeli forces took him from the northern West Bank in April 2004 and have held him under Administrative Detention in Israeli prison since then. He has never been charged with a crime or been afforded a trial.
12-30-06 - What to do with Iran? ** As an American strike in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure.....We must turn to Hillary Clinton and other potential presidential candidates in the Democratic Party so that they publicly support immediate action by Bush against Iran.....We must clandestinely cooperate with Saudi Arabia so that it also persuades the US to strike Iran.....The Americans must act. Yet if they don't, we'll do it ourselves
12-30-06 - Book: Israel, Lobby Pushing Iran War ** Later in the book, Ritter adds: "Let there be no doubt: If there is an American war with Iran, it is a war that was made in Israel and nowhere else." Hmm.
12-30-06 - 'More options needed against Kassams' The officer said that IDF soldiers rarely succeeded in thwarting Kassam attacks before the rockets were fired, and generally had an opportunity to attack the terrorists only after they launched rockets.
12-30-06 - Israel says 'justice done' with Saddam execution "Saddam Hussein brought about his own demise. This was a man who caused a great deal of harm to his people and who was a major threat to Israel," Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres told public radio Saturday.
12-30-06 - Israel announces new restrictions on foreigners in West Bank will be required to obtain visas from embassies and consulates inside Israeli boundaries before entering the ?Palestinian territories,? as the Israelis put it
12-30-06 - US welcomes Saddam hanging, Europe opposes execution "Saddam Hussein was a prisoner of war," a Hamas spokesman, Fawzi Barhum, told AFP. The "hanging ... is a political assassination that violates all international laws that are supposed to protect prisoners of war."
12-30-06 - Interrogators torture and attack a detainee with metal chains The center is in Maali Adumim settlement block near the occupied Jerusalem and extends on vast areas that were annexed and seized from the Palestinians.
12-30-06 - Mashal: "Fateh and Hamas talks are the only way out of the current crisis" Hamas political bureau chief, Khalid Mashal, stated on Saturday that the only way to end the current Palestinian crisis is to return to a direct and unconditional dialogue between all Palestinian factions.
12-30-06 - Leftist women's nonviolent resistance for Eid Al Adha
12-30-06 - The problems that face Bethlehem
12-30-06 - U.S. Catholics All for Disinvestment
12-30-06 - Mubarak: Israel, Palestinians both losers without direct peace negotiations
12-30-06 - A challenge to newly elected Speaker of the House Pelosi In 2001, Pelosi told a pro-Israeli conference the real issue surrounding the Palestinian/Israeli problem is not the occupation, but Israel's right to exist. She added the occupation argument is "nonsense."
12-30-06 - Dear Santa, or Someone Dear Abby,I am a Jewish freethinker in Israel. (Sometimes I write "in Israel/Palestine" because it seems to make more sense, but we won't go into that now.) I have a question. If Jewish renewal in Palestine after a thousand generations is visionary and noble, why is the idea of repatriating the displaced Palestinians after a mere fifty or sixty years seen as delusional? I don't get it.
