05-16-07 - Gaza unrest gains own momentum As in the past, control of the security forces, which are largely loyal to Fatah, appears to have been the trigger for this new bout of fighting. Recent decisions by the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, to appoint his allies in key security positions have angered Hamas.
Likely a direct consequence of US policy (crafted in Israel) to isolate the Hamas government. The order of the day: divide and conquer. If they are too busy fighting each other, how can they attack you?

05-16-07 - Divided celebration "Our main goal was to prevent the Israelis from taking people out of the city. At that time the army offered many Jerusalemites a free ride to the Allenby Bridge so that they could join their families in Amman - and stay there of course. We understood that what the Israeli government was seeking was the de-Arabization of Jerusalem, and we tried to fight that.
05-16-07 - Leaders who follow ordinary people's courage earn respect we have an existential war about religion and extremism, where Israel, the occupier and regional hyperpower, is cast as eternal friend, liberal, victim and hero. A recent study at Glasgow University revealed the astonishing fact that over 70% of young people surveyed did not know that East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza are under military occupation by the Israeli army; 11% believe it is the Palestinians who are occupying that land.

05-16-07 - Rudy Giuliani v. Ron Paul, and Reality The 9-11 Commission based its assessments on testimony from experts on terrorism and the Middle East. Asked about the motivations of the terrorists, FBI Special Agent James Fitzgerald told the commission: "I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem, they identify with people who oppose repressive regimes, and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States." Anyone that tells you that we were attacked because 'we're free' is either grossly uninformed or a liar. As Buchanan often says: "They're over here, because we're over there" - and that can be taken both literally (Iraq, Saudi) and figuratively (I$rael). Exhibit A. PDF format: Exhibit B.
05-16-07 - Israel ready to help Abbas, if asked Israel helped create this mess by allowing one side to receive all of the funds and backing (much like in Lebanon).
05-16-07 - A revolting rodent Here's the kick in the ass: our mainstream media is more revolted by the Mickey Mouse knockoff that does not incite hatred but rather calls to resist (Israel), and yet the same mainstream media ignores the REAL HATE CRIMES. Only in America. Prove me wrong: search the Google news for the mainstream American media coverage of the hate crime by the French Israelis, and see if you find anything. Then Google the same news index for the Hamas Mickey knockoff. You'll find hundreds of articles about the latter. Our media covers for the ugly side of Israel.

No amount of clarification from the Brian Whittakers of the world can correct the false impression planted by the anti-Arab propagandists.
05-16-07 - Father of Christian Zionism Leaves the Building "Jewish-evangelical relations had become so close by the early '80s that, immediately after Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin telephoned Moral Majority leader Rev.
