06-04-07 - Forty years later, two view from the West Bank's Road 60 "As a farmer, I have a lot of land I cannot reach," says Mr. Shabaneh, pointing to an olive-tree grove that belongs to his family and sits just outside an IDF camp on an adjacent hill. He also has trees due north, just outside the Israeli settlement of Maale Levona, to which he occasionally walks. "I go even though it's dangerous for me. But my land is more important than my life," says Shabaneh, a father of four. On many occasions, he says, he and other farmers have had their crops damaged by nearby settlers. They don't expect intervention on their behalf from the army, which remains in control of this area until further notice.

06-04-07 - Daniella Weiss Weiss does not talk of an "occupation", but uses the word "liberation" for the territory captured by Israel in the six-day war. She talks not of "settlements" but "communities," not of "building anew" but of "resettling" on the land. To her the Jews have a historic right to the land stretching back thousands of years, while the Palestinians are a "new formation." How does she know that these Palestinians, some of them, do not themselves have ancestral ties to those that lived there during biblical times. Before Islam, there was Christianity. Before Christianity, there was? Hmm? And what right does anyone have to return to land their ancestors purportedly inhabited to demand ownership, by force?

And the images captured by a photographer from the UN's refugee agency UNRWA when Mohammed was too busy to notice certainly did that.

06-04-07 - Six days of war, 40 years of failure For Palestinians, 1967 was an extension of what began in Ottoman times, before they were a nation in the modern sense, when - half a century before the Nazi Holocaust - Zionists called for "solving" the Jewish problem in "a land without a people for a people without a land".

06-04-07 - Why Pick On Israel? Because Its Actions Are Wrong Academic freedom, it appears, applies to Israelis but not Palestinians, whose universities have been arbitrarily closed, Bir Zeit for a full four years.

No, you're not.

06-04-07 - Neocon drum beat ** "The Case for Bombing Iran," was the headline over Podhoretz's long piece in the June issue of Commentary, the magazine he edited for 35 years (until 1995) and where he serves as editor at large. "I hope and pray that President Bush will do it," Podhoretz wrote. His son-in-law Elliott Abrams is deputy national security adviser to President George W. Bush. His son John is editorial page editor of the New York Post. ......The neocon concludes by reminding Bush of his pledge not to leave office before making sure Iran does not become a nuclear weapons power. Saving Israel from nuclear destruction would then become the president's historical legacy -- writ large. "As an American and as a Jew," concludes Podhoretz, "I pray with all my heart that he will (bomb)."
