The
agony of peace & War. Israeli solder point the gun at a peaceful Palestinian.
Israeli occupation soldiers
have been blocking Palestinian schoolchildren from going to school.
Israel is the only country
in the modern democratic world, that make assassinations a government policy
against Palestinian leaders.
Israel refuse peace with the Palestinians and Arabs as they
seek to eliminate the Palestinians from the Holly land.
The
Jewish nation of Israel stands accused in the dock of international justice. The
charges include being a criminal state, the prime violator of human rights, the
mirror image of Nazism, and the most intransigent barrier to peace in the Middle
East. Throughout the world from the chambers of the United Nations, to the
campuses of universities Israel is singled out for condemnation, divestment,
boycott, and demonization. Israel government need to change its policies and
give the Palestinians their rights to exist in the land they lived for thousands
of years. Discrimination against religion should not be a policy of any
government.

Aug. 6, 2007:
An 8-year-old Israeli boy
survived for six hours missing in the Dead Sea. The boy was in the sea with
his father and two brothers when currents took him away from shore. The
Dead Sea is high in salt concentration and it keeps swimmers afloat on the
surface. However if the boy has sollowed the salty water he would have died.
Isn't that a miracle!!!
- June 30 , 2007: Palestinain are fighting each
other in an appearant power struggle to control the money coming from Europe
and the Arabian Gulf States. Hamas want to control the money and Fatah want
the money. The agony is that most of the free financial aids are going to
the pockets of corruspt Palestinians official including the leaders of Hamas
and Fatah. Isreal is playing a vital role to promote such struggle , as the
Palestinian case and home land issue of a separate state is lost.
Palestinans do not want peace , they want money to come flowing from the
rich gulf states. If they resolve there problems and declare peace and start
to build their economy then the easy money will not be coming, so the policy
is to keep the refugee suffering and stir problems with the Isreali so that
money will continue to come. It is reported that Mr. Abbas ( the President&
fatah leader) has cashed $250 million in his pocket. Hamas want also a piece
of the cake , they also have recived similar amount from Iran, cashe db Mr,
Hanieh and his aids. It is all about money…. There is nothing else ..

Sept.15, 2006:
Israeli army Major General Udi Adam, who had a key role in
commanding Israeli forces during the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, has

July 24,2006: Israel is destroying
Lebanon and using
cluster grenades against a
Lebanese village.
the use of cluster
grenades in populated areas violate a ban on indiscriminate attacks
contained in international humanitarian law. It is clear that Israeli
military is targeting all civilians targets and killing civilians in Lebanon
on purpose. Israel is the aggressor and they are want to destroy Lebanon
completely.

 May
8, 2006:
On Saturday, messianic settlers affiliated with the Gush
Emunim movement (block of faithful) from the small colony of Maon south of
Hebron assaulted Palestinian children with stones twice, injuring four
children. A fortnight ago, 15 settlers attacked the Cordoba (Cordova) Girls
school. Students of the school are normally escorted by foreign peace
volunteers.
According to two volunteers - Karin Laier from Germany and Tore Ottsen from
Norway - the settlers threw stones at the girls and the volunteers. Laier
and Ottsen were hit. On April 1, settlers assaulted and seriously injured
Silvana Hogg, a Swiss activist. Last week, children from the neighboring
village of Tuba were attacked by settlers on their way back from school. The
children waited at least three hours for an Israeli army escort as settlers
blocked the road. None of the settlers was arrested. Talking about Fanatic
people , see what the Israeli settlers are doing to Palestinians children.
The agony is why such news is not published in Europe or USA , Ah!! that
might be called anti-Semitic.

May 3, 2006: Palestinian authority has
over 160,000 employees!! Doing what? Nothing!! There salary is paid by

May 2, 2006:
Not only have no planes landed for
more than five years, but neither have any pay cheques for the past two
months. At Gaza's ghost town airport, time stands still rather than flies.
This is mainly because of Israeli policy of isolating Palestinians and
making their life miserable , so that they would leave Palestine or Israel.
- April 26, 2006: Israel
yesterday launched a satellite to spy on Iran's nuclear programme, an
Israeli defence official said, as Iran's leader persisted with his calls for
the Jewish state's destruction. Israel launched from Siberia its Eros B
satellite, designed to spot images on the ground as small as 70cm, the
defence official said. That level of resolution would allow Israel to gather
information on Iran's nuclear programme and its long-range missiles, which
are capable of striking Israel.
-
Feb.6, 2006: More than $700
million may have been stolen in the last few years by corrupt Palestinian
officials and politicians. There are 50 cases of theft and embezzlement
currently being investigated by the Palestinian authorities. This is
corruption Yasser Arafat style….
Jan.29, 2006:
A western man by the name
Yaakov Reuven
ben Aryeh Leib, his name indicate he is a jew and a fanatic Israeli , or
perhaps a terrorist Israeli , is writing in many web site against Muslims
, and accusing Islam of being a terrorist religion. He is also trying to
create problems between Islam and Christianity. His motives and aims are
clear, since he is a fanatic Israeli. We do not need such escalation of
hatred we need promoter of love and peace, however terrorist from all
sides and backgrounds have only hatred and evil in their mind. Let us
ignore them , and hopefully identify such individuals that would properly
need rehabilitation and psychotherapist treatments.

May 28, 2005:
Israeli
soldiers barged into a Palestinian home and commandeered its television room
so they could watch an international football match.
The Israeli army said it would look into the
allegations and if they were found to be true, disciplinary action would be
taken against the soldiers. Another Hebron resident said that it was not the
first time that Israeli soldiers had taken over Palestinian houses to watch
television.
April 22, 2005:
There are over 7,000 Palestinians prisoners in the Israeli jails. Are they
all terrorist? Why Israel hold the Palestinian people in large numbers in
jail. Why Israel does not give the basic human rights for Palestinians, The
right to live and exist and build there own life. Palestinians in occupied
lands have no rights what so ever. No passport, no permit to build a house,
no access to education or health, no jobs and in fact they are basically
forced to leave their land and live and become refugee in other countries.
Palestinians lived for thousands of years in the holey land and Israeli or
any other nation in the worlds has no right to quick them out. It is time
for the Western world to awake and stand in front of the Israeli lobby and
enforce a peaceful solution on both the Israeli and Palestinians.

2005: Lebanon's president on
Friday named moderate pro-Syrian lawmaker NAJEEB Mikati as prime minister,
breaking a political deadlock and reviving chances for holding parliamentary
elections next month. Mikati, 49, who was first elected to parliament in

maintains business ties to Syria as well as a personal relationship with
Syrian President Bashar Assad.

March 27, 2005 :
Orthodox Christians in Jordan held a vigil in front of
the Orthodox Church in Amman on Friday night to protest against the reported
sale of church land in East Jerusalem to a Jewish organization.

the traditionally Palestinian section in the Old City of Occupied Jerusalem
to Jewish groups working to bolster the Jewish presence in the area.

Israel
armed itself with nuclear weapons 40 years ago to use them against Arab
countries if they threaten its existence, one of the officials responsible
for Israel’s nuclear program said on Friday.
Labour Party leader Shimon Peres announced in November 2001 that France has
provided essential help for Israel’s nuclear program since 1956. Due to the
French assistance, Israel was able to build Dimona, without the knowledge of
the United States. Israel built Dimona more than 40 years ago. The nuclear
reactor is located in the southern Negev desert and is considered one of
Israel’s most secret sites, where it forbids any photography. Mordechai
Vanunu, a former technician at Dimona, served 18 years in prison for
disclosing details of Israel’s nuclear program, and was freed in April under
strict restrictions.
March 17, 2005: Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu was indicted
Thursday for violating the terms of his release from prison, the Israeli
Justice Ministry said. Vanunu was freed from an Israeli prison in April
after completing an 18-year sentence for revealing secrets of Israel’s
atomic program to the Sunday Times newspaper in London. Just what sort of
secrets Israel wants to hold back from the rest of the world is un-known.
The world must demand that Israel stop its nuclear programs and reveal all
it nuclear weapons.

Feb.22,2005: Newspapers from around the world on Thursday raised accusation fingers to
Israel regarding the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.
Turkish "Yeni Asya" Newspaper said that Israel is involved, directly or
indirectly, in the assassination of Hariri.
"Israel involvement in the crime is a fait accompli, it doesn't need a
fortune-teller to inform reality," the Newspaper added in an article
published on Thursday.
In Prague, "Bravo" Newspaper said in an analysis that the history of the
Middle East tells that Israel was behind all assassination acts which were
carried out against Arab figures.
In Paris, L'Humanite Newspaper, for its part, said that Israel could be
behind murdering Hariri, stressing that Israel has an interest in the crime,
namely to be far away from the resumption of peace process which Syria
repeatedly called for.

Feb.22,2005:
Israel freed 500 Palestinian prisoners in a
good-will gesture Monday, a day after the government gave final approval to
a pullout from Gaza and a revised route of the West Bank separation barrier
that would encompass at least 6 percent of land claimed by the Palestinians
for a future state. The question is how many other Palestinians prisoners in
Isreali
With the historic Cabinet vote, Israel began charting its final borders,
bypassing negotiations and angering the Palestinians.
Feb.18, 2005:
In another sign of easing tensions
following a cease-fire, Israel has halted destruction of homes of
Palestinian suicide bombers and gunmen after the army concluded the
practice has not deterred attackers but has inflamed hatred, the
military said in a statement.
The decision, announced Thursday,
mirrors comments made by human rights groups for years. Since Israel
captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war, more than
2,400 homes have been destroyed as punishment or deterrence, including
675 in the past four years of fighting, according a statement issued by
the Israeli human rights group B'tselem. Israeli government also hinted
that it will stop the assisination policy of top Palestinian leaders.

Feb.17,2005: Israeli Attorney
General Meni Mazuz has decided to drop a campaign financing case against
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his top aides, but will indict his son Omri,
the Justice Ministry said Thursday. The younger Sharon, now a member of the
Knesset, Israel’s parliament, is suspected of setting up a straw company to
direct cash to his father’s Likud Party primary campaign in 1999. Sharon was
later elected premier in 2001 and 2003.

Feb.16,2005: Israel's defence minister unexpectedly cut
short the term of his outspoken army chief, with a new commander to take
over just days before the start of a planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip
this summer. The curt dismissal of Lt Gen Moshe Yaalon, announced in the
middle of the night, triggered wall-to-wall criticism yesterday, with many
politicians and commentators accusing Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz of
endangering the Gaza pullback because of personal tensions with his army
chief. Yaalon, widely seen as a successful commander, has frequently
criticised government policy in public. Mofaz and Yaalon have had a tense
relationship, which peaked in 2003 when the army chief publicly criticised
the defence minister's decision to take a hard-line approach toward
then-Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, who was trying to push ahead
with reforms over the opposition of Yasser Arafat. At the time, Yaalon said
Mofaz's hard-line policies strongly backed by Sharon contributed to Abbas'
decision to step down in frustration, after only four months in office.
Yaalon reportedly enraged Sharon when he said Israel's harsh measures
increased Palestinian hatred and violence. Yaalon will end his term in the
second week of July just as Israel is to begin implementing the
"disengagement" from Gaza and four West Bank settlements. Avi Dichter, chief
of Israel's internal security service, the Shin Bet, also a key player in
planning the withdrawal, is leaving his post in May.

2004:Arun Gandhi the grandson of the celebrated Indian
pacifist leader Mahatma Gandhi is due to arrive in Ramallah to launch a
Palestinian campaign for an unarmed, popular struggle against Israel,
Ha'aretz reports, in the wake of the recent World Court ruling against the
security fence and the continued existence of Jewish communities in Judea
and Samaria. Gandhi will be keynote speaker at three mass rallies against
the "occupation" and the "wall" planned for Ramallah and
Abu Dis on August 26 in a bid to "promote the philosophy of
nonviolence." While rally organizers told The Jerusalem Post that they
believe peace is a message that binds Israelis and Palestinians together,
neither rally will call for an end to suicide bombings. But will Palestinian
and Israelis accept or even want peace.
The Politician do not want peace
from either side , however the people must make peace.
-
Aug.25,
2004: Israeli and Palestinians negotiators are not welling to reach an
agreement. Israeli wants more concision from Palestinians and Palestinians
authorities want more money to fill their pocket. Yasser Arafat has already
given up the right of return of Palestinians refugees. Also he agreed to get
only 10% of the west bank and Ghaza to be the land that all Palestinians
will live in. Israeli government with its unique discrimination against
Palestinians refuse to give any right or even to address their
humanitarian’s needs.

25, 2004: Maxime Rodinson, a
specialist on the Arab world and an anti-Zionist thinker, died at 89 in
Marseille. The author of numerous works on the history of Islam, Rodinson,
who was Jewish, also published major anti-Zionist polemics, including
“Israel and the Arab Refusal,” “Israel: A Colonial Settler State”
and “Jewish People or Jewish Problem.” Rodinson was born in Paris and,
apart from a short period as a teacher in Lebanon, spent his life in France.

April
24, 2004: Mr. Sharon has indicated he will target Arafat in the assassination
plots against Palestinian. This is a welcomed move Sharon, why you have to
say it , just do it if you are serious, or is this a political game that you
play. Palestinians will be more than happy that you eliminate Arafat. Israel
is the only state or government that support public assassination and Sharon
is heading this policy. The question , will killing Arafat or any other Palestinian
bring peace? Also will killing an Israeli through the suicide attacks make
peace?

April
18, 2004: An Israeli missile strike killed Hamas leader Abdul Aziz Rantisi
as he rode in his car Saturday night, hospital officials said. Rantisi’s
son Mohammed and a bodyguard also were killed in the attack. Rantisi was
taken to the hospital in critical condition, his body pocked with bloody
wounds and blood streaming from his head and neck, and rushed into emergency
surgery. He died five minutes after arriving at the hospital, officials
said. Witnesses said there were three people in the car at the time of the
explosion. Five pedestrians were also wounded, hospital officials said.
“The British government has made it repeatedly clear that so-called
’targeted assassinations’ of this kind are unlawful, unjustified and
counter-productive,” Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said in a statement.
Israel
has vowed to kill the entire
leadership of the Islamic militant organization. Can not
Israel
understand that violence can only bring violence.
-
March
22, 2004: Israeli forces killed Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the
founder and spiritual leader of the violent Islamic Hamas movement, in a
missile attack in
Gaza
early Monday, witnesses and Hamas leaders said, an attack likely to escalate
Palestinian-Israeli violence.
Israeli helicopters fired three missiles at the wheelchair-bound Hamas
leader as he left a mosque near his house at daybreak Monday, residents
said, and Hamas officials and witnesses said he was killed. This
atrocity by the Israeli army , will only create more violence. Palestinians
Hamas will now be targeting Ariel Sharon government. The question , What
will peace will come by killing an old cripples man.

23, 2004: A jogger killed by Palestinian gunmen in a
drive-by shooting in Occupied Jerusalem was an Arab college student mistaken
by the assailants for a Jew, the victim's father and militants said
yesterday.
George Khoury, 21, was shot dead Friday evening while out jogging in a
Jewish neighborhood of
Jerusalem
that borders the
West Bank
.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, an armed group linked to Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the shooting, and
then yesterday apologized for the slaying after the victim was identified as
an Arab. These
atrocities have to stop. Stop killing Israelis and stop killing
Palestinians.
-
 March 15 , 2004:
Two Palestinian suicide attackers exploded bombs in this closely guarded
Israeli seaport on Sunday, killing at least nine Israeli bystanders and
wounding 18, police said. The Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a militant group
with ties to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, claimed
responsibility, saying it carried out the bombings with the militant group
Hamas. There was no immediate word from Hamas. This killing of innocent
people must stop. Atrocities committed by Palestinians
should stop and peaceful negotiation should be the playground for
settlements. However Yasser Arafat is the man behind a lot of the terrorist
incidents and he must be removed and put in exile. Yasser Arafat is damaging
the cause for a Palestinian settlement with the Israeli.

Israel
’s education minister backed a plan to teach spoken Arabic and Arab
culture in all Israeli schools. Limor Livnat said she supported the proposal
by Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav to make the programs part of the compulsory
curriculum. Yahav argued that there is a “vital need for the majority to
understand the minority.”. Why
Arab countries bordering Israel do not teach Hebrew as a 2nd. language. Arab
must be able to communicate , understand and live with the Israeli.

6, 2004:Israeli occupation troops raided lands of the Syrian Arab citizens
in several areas in the occupied Golan on Wednesday morning, uprooting fruit
trees as part of the hostile policy pursued by the occupiers against the
people and lands of the Golan. Israeli military bulldozers uprooted more
than 1800 fruit trees of all kinds in lands owned by Syrian Arab citizens in
Majdal Shams town, along with many hundred-years-old olive trees in Jbata
al-Zeit, a village destroyed by Israeli occupation forces and on which an
Israeli settlement called Nvi Atif was built.

group protested Israel’s razing of Palestinian homes. Rabbis for Human
Rights-North America delivered a letter by 300 rabbis to Israeli government
offices in Washington and New York blasting the upcoming trial of Rabbi Arik
Ascherman, executive director of the group’s Israeli chapter, for trying
to block demolitions of Palestinian homes in the West Bank last spring. The
rabbis, spanning the denominational spectrum, want the charges dropped
because they say the demolition policy violates Jewish morals and Zionist
ideals. After all there some moderate Israeli who are condemning their Ariel
Sharon policy of extension against Palestinians.

World Court
supporting its right to rule on a huge barrier
Israel
is building in the
West Bank

2004: An Israeli businessman was indicted last Wednesday on charges of
bribing Ariel
Sharon
with hundreds of thousands of dollars, further complicating the prime

compel him to leave office.

territories and the Diaspora reached 9.7 million by the end of 2003. A
population census study, published on Wednesday by the central statistical
bureau of the Palestinian authority, said that some 3.7 million of those
Palestinians are living in the West Bank and
Gaza
, and that one million of them live in the Palestinian territories occupied
since 1948.
The study which is based on population survey operations and international
organization statistics indicate that 2.3 million of the Palestinians live
in the West Bank and 1.4 million of them live in
Gaza
. The Palestinians of the Diaspora whose number tolls, according to the
study at five million, are distributed as follows: 2.8 million in
Jordan

Jan.1, 2004:
Israel
disclosed plans yesterday to expand Jewish colonies in the occupied Golan
Heights infuriating
Damascus
just weeks after
Syria
proposed reopening peace talks.
Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz, running the right-wing Israeli cabinet's
colony committee, said the plan aimed to underline that the Golan "is
an integral part of
Israel
" before any negotiations for its handover demanded by
Syria
.
Syria
says the Israeli plan would kill any chance of peace.
Israel
's main daily Yedioth Ahronoth said the $62 million plan would double the
Golan's 18,000 settler population within three years. No
way
Sharon
, land occupation is the road to war not peace!!?? Sharon need a lecture in
politics as many Israeli leaders are against his erratic policies.
-
Dec.7, 2003: They are Ariel
Sharon's trickiest opponents - four former heads of the Israeli security
service who have united to accuse the Prime Minister of pushing the Jewish
state to the 'edge of an abyss'.
Israel
, they say, must find peace or perish. Between them, they served for 20
years at the head of Shin Bet, the nerve center of the war on Palestinian
militants, but now they have dramatically changed tack to spearhead a new
movement for peace more powerful than
Israel
has ever seen before. Avraham
Shalom, Yaakov Peri, Carmi Gillon and Major General Ami Ayalon have fought
the Palestinians with as much vigour as
Sharon
, who commanded an armored division in the 1967 Six Day War. Shalom
reportedly ordered the murder of two Palestinians who hijacked a bus. Under
Ayalon's command, Shin Bet perfected the use of booby-trapped mobile phones
for assassinations. The stocky, shaven-headed Ayalon has fought Arabs all
his life, but this pugnacious character is the new face of the Israeli peace
movement, which, after three years of the intifada, is finally beginning to
have an impact. Almost all
Israeli public figures have done military service, but Ayalon, 58, has
devoted his life to it. At 18 he joined the naval commandos and rose to head
the navy. After retiring, he led Shin Bet.
'I am not a leftist; I have been involved in hundreds of military
operations and killed many people. I have blood on my hands,' he told The
Observer. His military past has given a new respectability to the peace
movement, which used to be accused of being insufficiently patriotic. Ayalon
launched a peace initiative with Sari Nusseibeih, head of Al Quds, the Arab
university in Jerusalem, which calls on Israel and the Palestinian Authority
to adopt a policy of 'two states for two peoples', based on the borders
before 1967 when Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza. There is nothing
new in this, but Ayalon says the timing is right. It is not the only peace
initiative, which Israelis are addressing. Tomorrow in
Switzerland
, Israeli and Palestinian peace campaigners will sign the
Geneva
accords, a prototype peace agreement. Ayalon says both initiatives undermine
Sharon
's line that there is no Palestinian partner for peace. Last month
Lieutenant General Moshe Ya'alon, the army chief of staff, told reporters
the government's policy of repressing Palestinians was reducing
Israel
's security, not enhancing it. We
wish the new peace movement success.

 Dec.7, 2003: He's cool, confident and hip. Just
what you'd expect from the 21-year-old winner of a reality TV show on
Israeli satellite television. The surprising thing is, Firas Khoury is an
Arab. Despite the venom which too often poisons relations between Jews and
Arabs here, more than 70,000 Israeli teenagers voted for Firas. The prize is
a one-year contract to host a show on a youth TV channel. So Firas is about
to become
Israel
's first Arab TV presenter. We hope more and
more talented Arabs be treated equally and given a chance to work and live
honestly in Palestine & Israel. To Firas we
say go Firas go and wish him success.

Dec.6,
2003: The United States is cutting nearly $290m from a loan guarantee
package to
Israel
in response to its settlement activity in the West Bank and
Gaza
.
Israel
is also being penalized for the building of a barrier in the
West Bank
to separate Israelis and Palestinians. The
move is seen as an important symbolic gesture and evidence of new
US
efforts to calm the conflict. But
Israel
has shrugged off the rebuke, claiming no real political pressure lies behind
it.
-
Nov.
26,2003: Palestinian officials on Wednesday welcomed a U.S. decision to
deduct $289.5 million from loan guarantees to Israel, but said the penalty
was insufficient to force Israel to stop building a security barrier or to
end continued settlement building.

Nov
14,2003: Four former heads of Israel’s Shin Bet security service launched
an unprecedented joint attack on government policy toward the Palestinians
in an interview on Friday in which they called for withdrawal from occupied
land. The interview in Israel’s biggest newspaper by the four ex-directors
followed recent criticism by army chief Moshe Yaalon of government-ordered
travel restrictions on Palestinians, which he said only encouraged
militancy. “[PRIME MINISTER ARIEL] Sharon has spoken often about the need
for painful compromises, and there are no painful compromises except
evacuation of settlements,” Yaakov Peri, Shin Bet chief from 1995 to 1998,
told the Yedioth Ahronoth daily.
“We are heading downhill Ami Ayalon, a left-leaning former general
who directed the Shin Bet from 1996 to 2000, urged the government to act
unilaterally and pull troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip, a position

 July
25, 2003:A
misunderstanding is developing between the US administration and the Jewish
state over the construction of the so-called "separation fence"
between Israel and the West Bank, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom
said. The fence loosely follows the 1967 Green Line division between Israel
and the West Bank, but it dips deep into occupied
Palestinian
territory at several points in order to protect settlements. It also
leaves several Palestinian villages cut off from the rest of the West Bank.
The Palestinians accuse Israel of using the fence to unilaterally determine
the borders of a future Palestinian state and of wanting to "ethnically
cleanse" the West Bank with a de facto annexation of its most fertile
regions. Construction of the fence was launched in June 2002. It is also
expected to cut annexed east Jerusalem off from the rest of the West Bank .

12, 2003: Israel's Shin Bet security agency has held Palestinian prisoners
incommunicado for weeks at a time at a secret detention center in
violation
of international law, The Associated Press has learned. Prisoners say they
are blindfolded and kept in black, windowless cells. When they ask where
they are, they are told: "On the moon." Israel refuses to say
where the center is located or who is being kept there, but hints foreigners
are among the prisoners. The state's attorney confirmed the existence of the
center, known as facility 1391, in a June 9 response to a Supreme Court
petition filed by the HaMoked human rights group over missing detainees
Bashar and Muhammad Jodallah. But Israel would only say the center was
located on a secret army base, arguing that revealing the location would
jeopardize national security.

July 1, 2003: Amidst
rubble in the heart of war-battered Gaza, a neat city has started to take
shape as Palestinians press ahead with a major charity housing project for
their families ordered and financed by President His Highness Sheikh Zayed
bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
When completed,
the Zayed City will be home to nearly 30,000 people most of whom have been
made homeless by recurrent Israeli attacks on their areas.
The five-phase
project near the devastated town of Beit Hanoun costs around $200 million
and the first stage that was launched in 1999 is now mid-way to completion
in defiance of continuing Israeli destruction and siege of most Palestinian
areas.
What a great man is Shaikh Zayed..
June 15,
2003: Israeli missile attack in Gaza City , on June 13, has
killed Yasser Taha, a senior Hamas militant wanted by Israel, and his
family. The army later apologized for the civilian deaths, saying it was
unaware that Taha's wife and two daughters were in the car. Witnesses
said three missiles struck the vehicle, which burst into flames. As
bystanders rushed to the burning wreck to help the victims, a fourth rocket
smashed into the car, injuring more civilians. Air strikes have killed 23
Palestinians this week, most of them civilians, according to witnesses and
medical officials.

Israeli forces against Palestinians — one a helicopter attack on a Hamas
leader, the other an action against a residential area in which three
civilians were killed — rebuked Israel, saying the assaults jeopardized
the prospects for the U.S.-backed “road map” for Mideast peace. Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, however, showed no signs of restraining troops
against Palestinians civilians. Hopes of peace
with Sharon government is fading. -

to creation of a Palestinian state by 2005. Bush won a commitment earlier
Tuesday from five Arab leaders to help end violence and move toward peace
with Israel.
-
May 25,2003: The Israeli government
narrowly approved a new Middle East peace plan today that for the first time
accepts the creation of a Palestinian state. But the deeply divided cabinet
attached key conditions to the initiative that could make implementation
problematic and ultimately doom it. Israel has expressed concerns with virtually
every significant aspect of the road map. The Israeli cabinet members said that
before the creation of a Palestinian state, Palestinian refugees had to give up
their claim to a "right of return" to areas in Israel that they left
during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The road map does not specifically refer to
the right of return but calls for a realistic solution to the refugee issue. So
is this a realistic solution for this crisis?

Palestinian toddler was killed by Israeli Army fire in the Gaza Strip
yesterday, as the Palestinian prime minister flatly rejected Israel’s new
condition for peace talks. The disagreement over the fate of Palestinian
refugees raises new doubts about whether a US-backed peace plan can be
implemented. Israel now insists the Palestinians scrap a demand for the
“right of return” of the refugees without further discussion, even
though the peace plan stipulates the refugee issue is a subject for future
negotiations.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Cabinet said it would bar the Palestinian

from a U.N. survey, showed unemployment among Palestinians in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip jumped from 36 percent to about 50 percent from the first to
the second quarter of this year, when Israeli troops invaded and imposed
curfews on most West Bank towns and increased roadblocks in the Gaza Strip.
U.N. Special Coordinator Terje Roed-Larsen said the survey found 70 percent
of Palestinians in Gaza and 55 percent of those in the West Bank exist on
income below the poverty rate of $2 a day. Roed-Larsen said the Israeli
military's occupation, curfews and travel restrictions had led to
"staggering" unemployment rates and a growing humanitarian crisis
"deeper and broader than many people thought." The U.N. surveys
carried out for the U.S. Agency for International Development and CARE
International and released earlier this month showing that 22.5 percent of
Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza Strip suffer from acute or
chronic malnutrition.

walls don't work. Veterans from both sides of the Berlin Wall said yesterday
that Israel's $220 million plan to erect 110 km (70 miles) of fence along
the West Bank would ultimately fail, much as the Cold War divide through
Berlin eventually crumbled.
Rudi Thurow helped build the Berlin Wall in 1961 as a border guard. A year
later, he circumvented the Wall he was supposed to be guarding and crawled
through a tunnel to the West.
"One cannot solve problems through a wall, only through
negotiations," he told Reuters. "If Israel has a wall, then some
will build tunnels and go through them."
"The Wall didn't keep us out at all. The attackers against Israel will
do exactly the same.

The Carter administration was the last U.S. government to label the
settlements illegal. The Bush administration has criticized settlement
expansion as unhelpful to renewing peace talks but has not dealt with their
legality. In doing so, President Bush has followed a pattern established
under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, whose
administrations referred to the settlements as an obstacle to peace but not
illegal.
