In an interview published Thursday in the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat , a Hamas spokesman said that the jihadist movement is loyal to "Palestinian principles" in its policy of terrorism against the Jews until Israel ceases to exist. Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas claimed earlier this month that Hamas had agreed to the establishment of a Palestinian...
In response to the sign-waving of some soldiers who are perturned at the use of soldiers for evacuating Jewish homes and in cases, destroying them in Judea and Samaria, the cry has gone up: "keep politics out of the army". Like this example : Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday joined those condemning the actions of the Nachshon Battalion soldiers who declared Sunday that they would not...
By Donald Macintyre The Independent ( Left: A cartoon by Emad Hajjaj showing that the Palestinian "cause" has become just a game for Palestinian "leaders.") "As so often in the Middle East, we have been here before . The latest suggestion – that a frustrated Palestinian leadership would unilaterally declare a state and invite international recognition for it – is...
By Linda S. Heard Online Journal Contributing Writer Oct 15, 2009, 00:11 Courtesy Of The Online Journal Isn’t there something seriously wrong with our world when a people who have been wronged for over a half-century are treated as pariahs? Wherever the Palestinians turn, they find every door shut. Whatever they do to obtain even a fraction of their rights, they face insurmountable obstacles....
Another sign of how the US public debate on Israel/Palestine is shifting quite significantly is this fairly clear-headed bit of analysis in Time's blog. After a bit of bull on how Arafat stymied a deal with Ehud Barak (pssst, Joe, it was Barak and Ben-Ami who walked away from that table, fearing electoral defeat at home . Sharon won anyway) he cuts to the chase: It is in the best interests of the United...
[The US] has no intention of being a "balanced mediator"... Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, allies of the final takeover of the West Bank, know very well that U.S. policy has not changed... The prevailing... The Israeli Occupation Archive (IOA) covers Israel's military occupation of Palestinian lands, now in its fifth decade. Go to the IOA website for much more...
Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered at the port city of Tel Aviv on Saturday night for the annual rally to commemorate the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Yesterday Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a press conference at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv on Tuesday's capture of the ship Francop that was smuggling a massive Iranian weapons cache to Syria for Iran's terrorist buddies. This was Netanyahu's statement: First of all, I would like to commend Defense Minister Ehud Barak, IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi, GOC Navy Adm. Eliezer Marom,...
Het is duidelijk dat de internationale gemeenschap niks tegen de illegale wapensmokkel naar Hamas en Hezbollah onderneemt, en dus neemt Israel terecht zelf actie. Dit zal wel weer als daad van agressie worden neergezet in de media, maar de geschiedenis laat zien dat Israel dit soort daden wel moest plegen om zich te beschermen tegen haar vijanden. Overigens is er volgens Israel geen geweld gebruikt...
The Israeli navy intercepted a ship which it claims was carrying hundreds of tonnes of Iranian weapons for the armed Islamist group Hezbollah. Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak called the operation "a success" in the fight against arms trafficking.
(IsraelNN.com) Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu are traveling to the United States this week to meet with senior White House officials in an effort to draft an agreement to be offered to the Fatah-led half of...
The article below in Haaretz puts its finger on another example of the murderous nature of Zionist racism. Terrorists of the Jewish variety are quite acceptable, after all there would be no Israeli State if there had been no Zionist terrorism. Not only the present Israeli government led by Netanhayu traces its political ancestry to the Irgun and Stern Gang terrorists of the Mandate period, but the...
Here's another indication that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu understands that the offers made to the 'Palestinians' by Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert were suicidal and cannot be repeated. The new settlement of Maskiot and the expansion of farmland are just two tangible signs of tension over the area. When Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad issued a two-year development plan, he said he
