As usual, the tragic and continuous cost of this unhealthy coupling is borne by those who have no part in it."

02-07-07 - Carter enters lions' den By Paul Findley At the age of 82, Jimmy Carter entered the lion's den. With the publication of his latest book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid," he did what a patriot would do: rally Americans to vigorous debate of a critical issue that affects our future. He deserves a hero's praise. Instead, he has been attacked and defamed. Great article, great man (Carter too).


02-07-07 - Denounced, but Jewish dissent grows For too long, Jews in many Western nations have shunned and intimidated fellow Jews who speak out against the illegal settlements or the cruelty of the 40-year occupation.

Because of that, Ben-Israel and other officials say, Israel would prefer to join in an American-led attack on Iran Because, America doesn't have enough on its hands right now. K.

The fact is, Israel is not in imminent grave danger. That's why it's telling its own people ONE thing, and us quite another.
