01-19-07 - The tragic death of an activist's daughter Last April, Mr Aramin helped to found "Combatants for Peace" - a unique organisation of former Israeli soldiers and ex-Palestinian gunmen who have renounced violence and are devoted to the cause of ending the occupation by peaceful methods alone. A mere 10 months later, Mr Aramin has had his beliefs tested to the outer limit, by a grief he could never imagine. Yesterday at Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque he buried Abir, his younger daughter, killed by what he and every resident of Anata is convinced was fire at lethally close range - probably, they believe, a rubber-coated bullet from an Israeli border police jeep.

01-19-07 - Perhaps Thinking of Legacy, Bush Has Rice on the Move ?I tend to place a lot of emphasis on the fact that people see their interests differently now than they did 5 years ago or 10 years ago," she said. "They see their interests less as continuing or having maximalist positions about this conflict and are more concerned about the kind of broad strategic picture." She said that the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon "was a major contributor to that shift in alignment" and that it made a Middle East peace deal more promising, and that toppling Saddam Hussein, despite the current violence within Iraq, removed what she called an "eastern front" against the Israelis.
By removing regional threats to Israel in the region, 'peace is more promising' because Israel then does not feel the need to make any 'concessions' (giving stolen land back).

Too late. It is abundantly clear just who is pushing for this war. It is also clear that the US is being blamed for failure in Iraq - a war that was based on the Clean Break Strategy (crafted in Israel) and then foisted on this administration via the neocons. Read the entire article and note the unbridled chutzpah.

01-19-07 - The Israel Lobby Trips and Tilts As in so many things, conventional elite opinion lives in a bubble, believing mere assertion and ranting about anti-Semitism will carry the day. The New York Times featured a spectacularly disingenuous hatchet job by its deputy foreign editor, Ethan Bronner, and another assault by former Clinton-era Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross. The New York Times = Israel Lobby
01-19-07 - Israel's apartheid Only in America is the egregious violation of international law by Israel in its relations with the Palestinians hidden from the public by its own media -- your editorial only serves to confirm Carter's point in this regard, as well as your own paper's irresponsibility.

They?ve heard that from so many people that they can?t ignore it." As I have noted before, this whole new emphasis on the 'peace process' is, like with the case just prior to and after the runup to the Iraq war, a move to get other countries on board for their support for new military action - this time Iran.
