05-06-07 - Cheney Mideast trip to build on Iraq conference ** "He's really more going to focus on regional security, with Iraq being the centerpiece, and focus on the challenges posed by Iran," said US National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Cheney is looking to get support for action on Iran. This is why the recent 'timeline' was drawn up which detailed some measures to be taken by both Israel and the Palestinians. Cheney will soon be seen whispering in (SA)King Abdullah's ear: "Can we attack Iran now, can we huh, huh? Will you help us? Did we do enough for I-P peace???!!" Same sh#t, different year, and different ME country to attack. Bush and co. sit on their ass for YEARS on Israel-Palestinian peace. The ONLY time they DO something is when the neocons want Arab support for another attack on a Middle Eastern nation. Or so it would seem.


05-06-07 - Activism for all ages "It was a new kind of opinion," she said. "Most of the presidential candidates don't really talk about their views on the Middle East, and it was good to hear a view that wasn't affected by wanting to get elected."

05-06-07 - Hasan Karmi In an interview with me in 2004, Karmi summed up what all British politicians should have inscribed on their hearts: in the early 1920s, he said, "we were optimistic. We felt that eventually the Arabs would get their rights because they were the majority, the owners of the country and the ... land. We didn't imagine the [British mandate] government would help the Jews get hold of the land and the country." He lived to see this process promulgated by the British and entrenched by the Americans.

05-06-07 - US-Israel disharmony This is not necessarily the last chord: If Israel doesn't immediately take vigorous and smart moves towards both the Administration and Congress alike, we shouldn't be surprised if the US agrees to board the Saudi wagon and accept the "Saudi Peace Initiative" as a basis for an agreement with the Palestinians. The horror.


05-06-07 - Israel's refugee disgrace As of today, out of the 300 refugees who have arrived in Israel, about 200 of the Sudanese are imprisoned indefinitely in "Ktziot" and "Maasiyahu" prisons....The large majority of them have not undergone trial and some have been detained for over two years....The obvious fear of the government and of Israeli citizens is a major influx of Non-Jewish refugees into the country


05-06-07 - Israel draws battle lines around nuclear monopoly "Say that tomorrow Iran gets nuclear weapons, and issues the following ultimatum on Israel: Withdraw from the (Palestinian) West Bank or we will fire conventional missiles at you. Do we get into that sort of fight?" said one senior Israeli official with knowledge of nuclear affairs. "The potential for extortion and major regional instability is mind-boggling,"
Thus do we arrive at the real heart of the matter with respect to Iran's nuclear program: Israel fears not for its very existence, but rather, Israel fears that it will no longer be able to keep hold of unlawfully occupied and colonized Arab territories. Israel fears that it no longer will be able to call the shots, and thus will no longer be allowed to be the neighborhood bully. God forbid that they have to comply with the law (get out of occupied land). The horror. All of this talk about it being 1938 all over again, with the rise of a new Hitler is Orwellian-speak. It's Orwellian when the accuser is itself practicing some of Hitler's policies and similar views of supremacy.
