Palestinians threaten Israeli economy
2010-10-05 11:38:00 Jewish lamentations over Palestinian statehood usually center around security issues. As with most things, dishonesty is counterproductive. No sane Westerner can be convinced that a bunch of bearded Islamists and other Palestinian terrorists present an existential threat to a country with the world’s fourth-strongest army. Jewish claims that Palestine would become a base for Iran are similarly off the mark: Gaza and Lebanon are Iranian bases, and Israel coexists with them. IDF has no operational freedom in Gaza, but was able to pound Hamas into a ceasefire; this model is applicable to the West Bank. Israel asks rhetorically why Palestine needs tanks and aircraft. Why does any country need them, including those not threatened or unable to defend themselves, such as Switzerland? In the mad world of nation-states and conscript armies, tanks are a part of national masculine pride, on par with flags. Israel has no right to demand that her neighbor be demilitarized. Indeed, it is not u...

Did Bush Offer to Take 100,000 Palestinians Into the USA?
2010-09-21 16:51:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Israel's Haaretz news agency recently reported that on Sept. 19 former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that President George W. Bush promised to take in 100,000 Palestinian refugees, giving them automatic American citizenship in exchange for a mid east peace deal. Former prime minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that the Bush administration had assured him that the United States would be willing to absorb some 100,000 Palestinian refugees immediately as American citizens, should Israel reach a permanent settlement with the Palestinian Authority. Imagine that. If Olmert can be believed the one president that built his reputation on being a fighter of terrorism was willing to let 100,000 Palestinians into the U.S. Worse, Bush was willing...

"We decided that we needed to take a closer and harder look at them in light of the additional information we received."He said the visas were canceled under a "prudential revocation" clause in immigration rules that allows them to be rescinded based on information gleaned about the holders ...

Palestinians Trapped at Crossroads
2008-06-05 17:47:00 by Nicola Nasser Firing home-made primitive rockets at Israeli targets from the Gaza Strip, the mass sweeping through the Palestinian – Egyptian border crossing of Rafah in January and the series of ongoing peaceful demonstrations at Gaza’s crossing points with Israel are not an aggressive demonstration of self-confidence, but more a show of defensive despair and weakness against the tight Israeli military siege, as much as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ threats to resign are passive defensive reaction to the political siege imposed on him by the United States and Israel, who so far fail to deliver on their promises to bring about an agreement to create a Palestinian state by the end of 2008. Given the corruption investigations, which have already heralded either a premiership change or early elections that would lead to a government change in Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is likely nearing the end of his term to join Abbas and US President George W. Bush, whose terms ...

Denying Palestinians Free Movement in the West Bank
2008-05-03 08:22:00 by Stephen Lendman This article summarizes an August 2007 B'Tselem report now available in print. It's one of a series of studies it conducts on life in Occupied Palestine to reveal what major media accounts suppress. This one is titled: "Ground to a Halt - Denial of Palestinians' Freedom of Movement in the West Bank." B'Tselem has a well-deserved reputation for accuracy and integrity. It's the Jerusalem-based independent Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). It was founded in 1989 by prominent academics, attorneys, journalists and Knesset members to "document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in (Occupied Palestine), combat (the Israeli public's) denial, and create a human rights culture in Israel" to convince government officials to respect human rights and obey international law. Its work is detailed, wide-ranging, carefully researched, and based on hundre...

Palestinians: Carter-Hamas Visit Achieved Nothing
2008-04-23 22:14:00 Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki said today that Jimmy Carter’s much publicized meeting with Hamas achieved nothing. “President Carter came to the region thinking he could achieve something. Unfortunately president Carter left without anything concrete,” he told a conference in the Spanish capital. “The only thing he achieved was permission on the part of Khaled Meshaal of Hamas to deliver a letter from a detained Israeli soldier to his family.

A Tale of Two Peoples - Tibetans vs Palestinians
2008-03-25 13:30:00 The long-suffering Tibetans have been in the news. This happens perhaps once or twice a decade. In a more moral world, however, public opinion would be far more preoccupied with Tibetans than with Palestinians, would be as harsh on China as it is on Israel, and would be as fawning on Israel as it now is on China. But, alas, the world is, as it has always been, a largely mean-spirited and morally insensitive place, where might is far more highly regarded than right. Consider the facts: Tibet, at least 1,400 years old, is one of the world’s oldest nations, has its own language, its own religion and even its own ethnicity. Over 1 million of its people have been killed by the Chinese, its culture has been systematically obliterated, 6,000 of its 6,200 monasteries have been looted and destroyed, and most of its monks have been tortured, murdered or exiled. Palestinians have none of these characteristics. Read More…

Palestinians Are Not Roaches!
2008-03-02 13:00:00 [Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Rockets and other weapons of war targeted at it inevitably kill innocent civilians imprisoned in this hell hole. Sanity calls for direct truce talks between Israel and Hamas moderated by the outside powers that have been tolerating the slaughter there. The cost to Gazans is life and limb. The cost to Israel is loss of respect for it — a marauding nation killing and tormenting a captive people. Unhappily our presidential campaigners are terrified at offending the Israeli lobby. Ironically a majority of American Jews and Muslims and and those living in Israel/Palestine would welcome intervention to halt the horrors that are unfolding there. If no one has the courage to intervene in this murderous mayhem, the end of the road can only be massive disruption in the Middle East — and most likely some where down the line the violent destruction of Israel, itself –` a 21st Century Holocaust!!!
