08-26-07 - Dark side of Jewish dream historians say that much of the JNF's almost 3000-square kilometres of real estate was not legitimately purchased from its legal owners. At the birth of the state the JNF had only purchased less than 1000 sq kms of land from willing sellers, but Prime Minister David Ben Gurion then hurriedly and illegally sold it another 2000 sq kms which had been seized from native Arab owners displaced by the fighting or by military orders. Ben Gurion's aim was to block any possible implementation of a recent United Nations resolution calling on Israel to allow the displaced Arabs to return to their homes and property in the new Jewish state.
Ethnic cleansing based on supremacism.

08-26-07 - Donald Macintyre: The decision to prevent the Palestinian Under-19 team from playing in Britain is a blow While the letter sent to the players did not say so, British officials have said - to among others Rod Cox, the enterprising Chester businessman who runs Chester and Palestine Exchange and whose brainchild the visit was - that the grinding poverty of Gaza was one of the reasons for the ban. The calculation, according to one official, was that given the lack of opportunity in Gaza at present, and the fact that the players were themselves unmarried and therefore without wives and children to return to, they might be all the more tempted to remain in Britain when the training camp was over.
08-26-07 - Palestinians infiltrate Israel Israel's security fence is doing little to keep Palestinian militants from attacking the Jewish state, a military official acknowledged Sunday.

Surrrre it will be an attack by 'Hamas'. We believe you...
08-26-07 - "Security" wall along Route 317 dismantled
08-26-07 - HEBRON REFLECTION: Respect and disrespect The synagogue is a makeshift construction of wood and tarpaulin, built earlier
this year. It was built without permission. Built on the Palestinian family's
land. Were we and the Palestinians being disrespectful, working so near the
synagogue? Or was it the Jewish settlers who were showing disrespect,
worshipping in a synagogue they had built on stolen land? And, if so,
disrespect to whom?
08-26-07 - Hard-hitting critique or deadly lies? Welcome to the bigtime, Mssrs. Mearsheimer and Walt. You've got the leader of one of the most powerful organizations in America writing books to try and shut you down. You've made it!

08-26-07 - HEBRON Sderot: where rockets still fall The Israelis we spoke to were all welcoming and glad to share
their anxieties, and their longing for peace. We were both glad to have made
the journey, but the violence-reduction techniques we use in Hebron would not be
applicable in Sderot. All we could do is to show solidarity with Israeli
victims of violence, and this would not justify a continued presence.
08-26-07 - Real peace comes with acceptance Israel has talked about a separate Palestinian "state" but has proceeded to settle Jewish people throughout the West Bank since 1967, confiscating more and more Palestinian land, homes and farms and dislocating the people.....Real peace can only happen when Israel accepts that the four million Palestinians are a people who are entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," just as they do. Scroll down page. Well said.

08-26-07 - Settlers Violate Court Stipulations in Wrestle for Palestinian Land
08-26-07 - Video: Portion from CNN"s "God's Jewish Warriors" This is a perfect example of the power of the Israeli Lobby in America - and this happened 15 years ago or so. This is the kind of 'conspiracy theory' that the AIPAC/ADLers want you to believe doesn't exist. Good info about Baker and Bush (the first) and their efforts to stop the settlements. Features Mearsheimer and Carter. Note the utter bs that America and Israel have the same interests in the ME. America is against illegal settlements, Israel is for. Includes info on Christian Zionists and their role in this. One obvious point in all this: If Israel's and America's interests were the same, then THERE WOULDN'T BE A NEED FOR AN ISRAELI LOBBY IN AMERICA. Our interests are NOT the same. Not by a longshot.
08-26-07 - Peace Now report: Settlers enjoy luxury roads
08-26-07 - Bloggers say Palestine is an identity As I sat there taking pictures I thought to myself, "This is Palestinian folk dance, Palestinian music. I'm sitting here eating Palestinian food in a land we call Palestine." We do exist. We may not have physical borders delineated and recognized by "official" bodies at the U.N., but Palestine is an identity more than it is a state or some governmental body. This living, breathing body called Palestine may not reside on any published map, but it certainly resides in the heart of every Palestinian.

08-26-07 - New Pro-Iraq-War Organization Hides Its Pro-Israel Agenda It's clear to me that several members of the new group care about Israel's security as a reason for American military engagement in the Middle East. They should say so upfront. As it is, the Freedom's Watch website has imagery of the eagle wrapped in a flag; its big new ad shows an Iraq War veteran who continues to support the disastrous war because of 9/11, and no one on the site is talking about Israel.
08-26-07 - 'If we Irish can solve our conflict, then...' A Northern Ireland peace activist told an audience of Arabs and Jews at the St. George Hotel in east Jerusalem on Friday, "If we Irish can solve our conflict, then so can anybody."
