02-19-07 - Rice leaves summit with no sign of progress she showed little sign of having extracted - particularly from Israel - any commitment to outlining a final deal that might be reached at the conclusion of peace negotiations. Such talks could mean eventual discussion of the most sensitive issues, Jerusalem, borders and refugees.



02-19-07 - 'Iran center of US-Israeli talks' In the past, the joint Knesset-Congress-Senate committee helped make hundreds of millions of dollars available for Israel's missile defense shield, Arrow, which is produced in cooperation Boeing in the US.
In addition, according to Steinitz, the committee has in the past prevented arms sales to Arab states that would have threatened Israel's unique edge in the region; it also initiated the Iran nuclear sanctions law, which makes it illegal for governments to provide arms or aid Iran's nuclear program, the Knesset member said. Where is Washington when you need him? More from Steinitz here. And here.


02-19-07 - Rare summit yields slim pickings There is another important issue to mention - the pressure is on the Palestinians at the moment, not Israel. 'Continued colonisation'
And yet Israel is constantly breaking international law. Just drive through the occupied West Bank, and you will see Israel's settlements growing daily.

02-19-07 - Death of Israeli in West Bank is apparent work accident The death of an Israeli tow-truck driver yesterday near Ramallah was almost certainly the result of a work accident, rather than a terror incident, as initially suspected.



02-19-07 - The big question: Is the new round of diplomacy likely to bring Middle East Peace any closer? What's Condi up to? Good question. Whatever you think about the underlying strategic goals of a battered US administration - from fomenting a multi-national Sunni coalition against a perceived Shia threat, to extricating itself from Iraq without national humiliation - it is obviously trying to shore up support from the friendlier Arab regimes. And to do that Dr Rice needs to show some sign of trying for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
She's trying to appease Europe to get them on board for future action against Iran, my guess.

02-19-07 - Spreading democracy is no quick fix, but it's our noble duty Blessed with freedom, Americans ought to give voice to the voiceless, stand in solidarity with freedom fighters everywhere, and help provide the tools for others to build open societies with accountable governments. As Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is not just for the lucky few, but the right of all mankind." BS. It is not 'our duty' to spread democracy. If people of the nations of this world want it, then they have every right to fight for it like we did. To impose it at the barrel of a gun defeats the purpose. Ask the Palestinians about our notion of 'freedom' (that Israel imposes on them on our watch).

Ahhm.
