Israel also continued to expand settlements in the West Bank and failed, as promised,to dismantle illegal outposts not recognized by the government, HRW said. All settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law.

01-11-07 - Police official: Hebron incident reflects reality "As serious as the incident may be, it is just the tip of the iceberg of the daily violence Hebron settlers subject their Palestinian neighbors to on a daily basis, under the army's auspices."

"It's certainly true that some units are approved every year, a couple of hundred here or there, but I think the U.S.-Israeli understanding has definitely slowed down the process of settlements. We continue to make our views known through public statements and private discussions." Right. We could stop it all in a minute if we withheld ALL of the billions of dollars in US taxypayer aid.

01-11-07 - Neither sanctions nor bombs will end the Iran nuclear crisis ** It is not as if Iran presents any immediate, compelling threat.

Moreover, Israel's nuclear deterrent would mean mutually assured destruction.

01-11-07 - Second thoughts about the Promised Land Jewish Americans have long been Israel's strongest supporters. Many of the most zealous West Bank settlers come from America. The main Jewish lobby groups have tended to back right-wing Israeli governments and avoid criticising their policies. The fact that Israel is America's strongest ally emboldens this gung-ho stance. So does the ultra-Zionist stance of some American Christians......Leaping to Israel's defence is still what the Jewish establishment does best. After the war, the Israel On Campus Coalition, a student organisation, issued a 129-page guide with contributions from all the major Jewish and pro-Israel bodies, packed with set-piece talking points for knocking down critics of Israel
