04-21-07 - US working with Fayad on way to channel funds Sallai Meridor, declined to endorse such a funding mechanism, telling The Jerusalem Post that the government still didn't know the details of how such a program would work. "It's important that whatever is being done will send the Palestinian people a message that choosing and working with moderates would bring a better future for the Palestinian people,"
'You must please your Israeli masters, or we will keep all of the tax money due you!'


04-21-07 - News in brief Last week, Israel Defense Forces soldiers at the Jordan Valley and the Beit Furik checkpoints in the West Bank prevented the passage of trucks bringing food and essential supplies for the Palestinian population. The prohibitions were lifted after two days, following the intervention of activists from Machsom Watch and an appeal from Haaretz. But last Thursday, soldiers at Beit Furik were again blocking the trucks.

04-21-07 - Israeli media reports attributed to King Abdullah are categorically groundless The press remarks attributed to His Majesty King Abdullah II during his meeting with Israeli Knesset Speaker last Thursday and published by some Israeli dailies are completely untrue and categorically groundless and have nothing to do with the talks between His Majesty the King and Speaker Dalia Itzik, said Director of the Royal Court Communication and Information Division Amjad al-Adhayleh.



04-21-07 - Egyptian jailed for Israel spying Mohammed al-Attar was convicted of being an agent for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.


04-21-07 - Charles Krauthammer takes rank hypocrisy to new lows On Wednesday -- less than 48 hours after the shootings -- the same Charles Krauthammer went on Fox News to explain why the Virginia Tech shootings and the killer's "manifesto" are connected to Al Jazeera, the Palestinians and other Muslim Enemies who dominate Krauthammer's political agenda


04-21-07 - Israel: 'No thanks' to Musharraf offer Israel has rejected the surprise offer by Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.


04-21-07 - Harper Climate Report Withers The late patriarch, Israel "Izzy" Asper once boasted, his chain would NEVER publish criticism of Israeli government policies. Were the Asper's media interests confined, it would be of little matter, but true to Izzy's word, the largest news corporation in Canada is today more propagandist than credible news source, and not only in its "coverage" of the cultural and literal genocide being conducted against Palestine. Canada has an Israeli lobby problem of its own - a part of which is CanWest, a major Canadian news conglomerate owned by a staunch Israel-defender.


04-21-07 - WE HAVE THE SMOKING GUN! We have known for years that communications between the attacking Israeli jets and their headquarters were intercepted as the aircraft approached our ship. The Israeli pilots were clearly told by their controllers to find and quickly sink "the American ship" which was USS Liberty. Those communications were almost simultaneously translated and broadcast from a US Air Force C130 near the scene to an intelligence site at Crete where they were sent to Washington and to other stations as "Critical Intelligence," the fastest and most secure means available. Known as CRITICs, these reports routinely arrived in the White House, State Department and Pentagon within ten minutes or less.


04-21-07 - Presidential election begins in France The three main candidates in Sunday's French presidential election - Nicholas Sarkozy, Segolene Royal and Francois Bayrou - are all "well disposed [toward Israel] in their own ways," former Israeli ambassador to France Avi Pazner told The Jerusalem Post over the weekend.


04-21-07 - Israeli Giuliani groupies to bring votes The thousands of eligible absentee voters in Israel could have a significant impact on who will win the Republican and Democratic nominations. Should not be allowed.


04-21-07 - Palestinian curriculum silent about resistance He noted that the curriculum being taught in Palestinian schools is silent about the resistance movement or the continuing Israeli occupation. It focuses more on concepts like statehood and citizenship, as a fall out of the state building process started after the Oslo Accord.


04-21-07 - Settlers' Defiance Reflects Postwar Israeli Changes Supporters and opponents say the outcome of the building in Hebron will show how much the government is willing to confront the settlers in what the fiercest critics say amounts to a new settlement, with close to 100 residents already. Changes? Since when does Israel take any real action against them?


04-21-07 - "America at a Crossroads" veers to the right One episode, a virtual infomercial for Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative theorist and architect of the Iraq war, is so laughably biased -- and so unbalanced by any film giving equal time to a corresponding perspective on the left -- that it taints the entire series Since when does PBS favor neocons? Since this individual and those like her stepped into the fold. As soon as these people (Israeli lobby) infiltrated the place, the BS starts. PBS was supposed to offer something a little different than the mainstream media. Turns out, it does not. It was a nice idea though. To be fair, what the author of this piece describes on page 3 regarding what SHOULD have been included in this series was in fact included in the series Lawrence of Arabia by PBS. It was a great series. PBS should rerun it sometime so that Americans get the truth as to what really happened to Palestine, and consequently what motivates such hatred of the US (due its support of Israel's colonial project in the region). Knowing the motivation for the attacks on the US does not justify the attacks. But not investigating the causes is like the police not investigating the motives for serious crimes. It has to be done, folks. There are those in this country that do not want you to know why. Here's my message to them.


04-21-07 - Jordan denies remarks ascribed to Abdullah on right of return


04-21-07 - Israeli administration imprisoning mothers and wives of political prisoners to pressure confessions ?They arrested me from inside my house after the arrest of others in my family, and immediately took me to Jalama Prison so that my captive son, Said, could see that they had me.?


04-21-07 - GIULIANI BANDWAGON BRANCHES OUT TO ISRAEL In some past elections, planeloads of Israelis with American citizenship have flown to the United States to vote. Should not be allowed. With Israel being the recipient of the most US foreign aid, clearly there is a direct conflict of interest.


04-21-07 - 'Momentous' visit by Patriarch The visit is a gesture of thanks to parish priest Fr Paul Maddison and his parishioners for the support they have given to the Palestinian community of Aboud in recent years and has been described as a "momentous" occasion.


04-21-07 - President Abbas Welcomes Bulgarian's Decision to Open a Representative's office in Rammallah


04-21-07 - Syrians march to mark the Arabs' detainee day Some 100 Syrians from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights marched Saturday to the office of the International Red Cross to mark the Arabs' Detainee Day.


04-21-07 - A Principled Man Nader energizes Detroit crowds "Far, far, far, far more Palestinian children, men and women, totally innocent, have been killed by the Israeli military than the reverse? the ratio is something like 20 to1. So, when we talk about terrorism, we should condemn all terrorism, including Israeli state terrorism."


04-21-07 - Consider plight of Palestinians Can you imagine how you would feel if you walked in Palestinian shoes? There are two sides to all situations, but we rarely hear this side of the story.
