08-06-07 - Leading Article: Justice in this case will benefit Israel too As with the earlier shooting, Israel's response was to obfuscate, cast suspicions on the actions of the victim, play for time and hope the furore would subside. But Britain has been obdurate. After the Israeli army attempted to bury the case in 2005, a British court last year returned a verdict of unlawful killing, and since then British pressure has mounted on Israel to put the unnamed soldier on trial. The Attorney General has said if no progress is made by tomorrow Britain may launch extradition proceedings. True to past form, the Israeli army is denying guilt on the part on the soldier while the justice ministry declares Israelis will not be blackmailed by British ultimatums. Tomorrow, therefore, will probably pass without any movement by Israel, just to prove the point.

08-06-07 - Commentary: Embarrassing history By ARNAUD DE BORCHGRAVE During the British mandate (1920-1948), Zionist leaders concluded Palestinians, who owned 90 percent of the land (with 5.8 percent owned by Jews), would have to be forcibly expelled to make a Jewish state possible. Pappe quotes David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, addressing the Jewish Agency Executive in June 1938, as saying, "I am for compulsory transfer. I do not see anything immoral in it." Pappe outlines Plan D (Dalet in Hebrew), which followed earlier plans A, B and C, and included forcible expulsion of some 800,000 Palestinians from both urban and rural areas with the objective of creating by any means necessary an exclusive Jewish state without an Arab presence. The methods ranged from a campaign of disinformation -- "get out immediately because the Jews are on their way to kill you" -- to Jewish militia attacks to terrorize the Palestinians. This article breaks down for you exactly how Israel was created - and consequently, how so many Palestinians were made refugees. This video of yesterday's news is a very sad look at the reality for Palestinians. And that's not even the worst of it.
