05-10-07 - Jerusalem plans new Jewish quarters in West Bank An Israeli newspaper on Thursday disclosed plans to build three new Jewish neighbourhoods around Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank sparking Palestinian condemnation. How did Israel obtain this land in the first place? Force. And land taken by force is inadmissible, under international law. So too is the colonization of said (occupied) land. The UN has ruled in the past that E. Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza are Israeli-OCCUPIED land. How is this move conducive to peace? It is a slap in the face to the Palestinians and to those in the region that are making the effort towards that end.

05-10-07 - Jordan says it is premature to discuss confederation with Palestinians "It is a cause that must be dealt with according to international law.

05-10-07 - Israelis plan more homes on occupied land Jerusalem's city council plans to build three new Jewish settlements on land it occupied in 1967, in contravention of international law, it was announced yesterday. The estates will be built on land that has been earmarked for a future Palestinian state, close to Bethlehem and Ramallah. The world said that they'd like to see Middle East PEACE, Israel again thought they meant PIECE as in, another PIECE of Palestine. This land grab has to do with DEMOGRAPHY - keeping as much Arab land as possible, with as few Arabs on it as possible.
05-10-07 - Palestinians trade abductions hours after President Abbas ordered calm
05-10-07 - A capital question Demography has been the chief battle-ground for control of the holy city ever since Israel annexed the eastern, Arab part.

05-10-07 - U.S. to give assurances to ease funds to Palestinians But it was unclear whether the assurances, expected to come in the form of letters to banks and donors, will include restrictions that would prevent Fayyad from using the funds to cover the expenses of the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, Western diplomats and Israeli officials said.

05-10-07 - Livni advances Israeli-Arab talks ** The Israeli foreign minister met her Egyptian and Jordanian counterparts, as well as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, in Cairo on Thursday as part of recent attempts at rapprochement between Jerusalem and the Arab League. Coincidentally, Cheney was just in the region trying to lobby these same folks. Methinks that the real agenda here is the upcoming war on Iran. If it's not, then why doesn't Livni meet with her PALESTINIAN counterparts? That is who Israel is trying to negotiate peace with, no?
05-10-07 - Washington D.C. Mayor Sets a Bad Example for Students Talk show host Glenn Beck says CNN would not let him air the video of the so-called "Martyr Mouse" being run by the terror group Hamas on a Palestinian kids TV show.....Beck says producers told him the CNN Arab desk had a problem with the translation and that the video had been pulled from the CNN networks.

It's 'just process' to get the Arabs on board for war with Iran. My guess.
05-10-07 - Sneh challenges World Bank report Israel's deputy defense minister dismissed World Bank criticism of Israeli policy toward the Palestians as "one-sided."

Most important, the war took the lives of more than 1,200 Lebanese citizens, the vast majority of them civilians.

05-10-07 - Al Qaeda tactics expand in Gaza Gazan security officials say they know that Johnston is being held by the Dogmoush clan, which is demanding a large tract of land in Gaza ? a piece of one of the evacuated settlements that Israel left to the Palestinian Authority in August 2005. According to this analysis, the clan leaders want to extort promises for land from the Palestinian Authority, meanwhile biding time by cloaking the issue in global jihadist themes.
Israel wants Al Qaeda in Gaza that way they can make the final push to conflate their 'war on terror' with ours; the basic goal of which is to foist their enemies on us (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestinians, etc).
05-10-07 - Palestinians in Europe conclude their Fifth Conference Palestinians in Europe concluded on Thursday their fifth conference in Rotterdam, in Holland.

05-10-07 - Hamas TV resists calls to pull 'Mickey Mouse' show Mustafa Barghouti, the Information Minister, said the "politically oriented" adaptation of the Disney character represents a "mistaken approach" to the "Palestinians' legitimate struggle against the [Israeli] occupation".
05-10-07 - A passion for Palestine Two things seem odd about the modern state of Israel. The first is that it seems to have learned little from atrocities perpetrated on the Jews (and others) by the Nazis, other than to replicate them, with the Palestinians as victims.

05-10-07 - Hamas told to axe children's show The Israeli organisation, Palestinian Media Watch, said that Farfur took "every opportunity to indoctrinate young viewers with teachings of Islamic supremacy". And Israel doesn't encourage Jewish supremacy through its system of laws, land-leasing system, Jewish-only settlements, Jewish-only roads, law of return for Jews only, etc etc etc? Some things don't have to be directly stated. But the message is quite clear. SUPREMACY. I'm not a Muslim. In fact, I'm a Christian and a secular one at that. I'm not particulary interested in Islam either. The point is, you've got supremacy being taught on the other side as well. Perhaps this PMW ought not be such a hypocrite. But then, that's not their job. Their job is to propagandize. It's working, thanks to their buds in the mainstream American media. You would have thought by the sheer hysteria spouted by the aforementioned, that this Mickey Mouse had told these children to go out and kill Americans. Not so. Not even close.

05-10-07 - What Herod's Tomb Means PS: The discovery has absolutely no significance at all in the conversation between Israelis and Palestinians over who should control the the West Bank, unlike this silly assertion in the paragraph 3 of the Washington Post article on the find:
The discovery dusted off the competing Israeli and Palestinian claims to the region between Bethlehem and the Judean desert. Israeli settler leaders said the reported find of the Jewish king's tomb supported their historic right to the area, while Palestinians expressed fears that it would be used as a pretext to increase Jewish settlement construction south of Jerusalem. Wait a minute now. Does that mean that if I take hold by force of the land my ancestors inhabited, dig around and find evidence of their existence, that that land is mine? Wow. Sweet deal!
05-10-07 - The other side My friend is a house painter. He has never lifted a hand against an Israeli or anyone else, yet he and countless other Palestinians are corralled in their towns and villages by the Israeli Defense Forces. They are forced into desperate acts in order to feed their families.

"The Jewish community is much more sophisticated than maybe the president thinks," he said. "We certainly understand that there are people such as he is describing, but that's not the majority of Christian Zionists." The 'Jewish community' doesn't care about their 'politics', so long as the money is rolling in. Exhibit A : "Christian support for Israel is a good thing," Morrison said. "I have no idea what their politics are because we didn't discuss it." Source.
