Opinion/Editorial:
THE ROAD MAP: WHERE NEXT AFTER AQABA?
Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 4 June 2003

President Bush's two days of Middle East summitry are
being hailed in the United States as a diplomatic and
political triumph. And indeed even by bringing Arab and
Israeli leaders to Sharm al-Sheikh and Aqaba, Bush did
more than many people thought was possible. But, writes EI
founder Ali Abunimah, the elation is likely to be short
lived as the carefully crafted final statements by Bush,
Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, and the Palestinians'
Mahmoud Abbas paper over the lop-sided concessions made by
each side.

Opinion/Editorial:
THE ROADMAP -- A MATTER OF TIME
Hasan Abu Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 4 June 200

With the twin summits in Sharm Al Sheikh and Aqaba
underway, many believe that the likelihood of a major
breakthrough in the efforts to break the cycle of
Israeli-Palestinian violence and resuming serious talks
towards a settlement are realistic. Yet while optimism may
be justified in the short run, regular EI contributor
Hasan Abu Nimah argues that it is only a matter of time
before the whole scheme falls apart right in front of
everybody's wide open eyes.

Human Rights:
ROADMAP NEEDS RIGHTS COMPONENT
Human Rights Watch, Letter, 3 June 2003

Wednesday's summit among U.S. President George W. Bush and
Prime Ministers Mahmud Abbas and Ariel Sharon should
insert human rights protection into the "roadmap," Human
Rights Watch said today.

Israel Lobby Watch:
THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM?
Jonathan Cook, The Electronic Intifada, 3 June 2003

Anti-Semitism, like some plague-inducing virus, is
"evolving" -- or so warns Holocaust scholar Daniel J.
Goldhagen in the American Jewish weekly The Forward.
According to the author, the lessons of the Holocaust are
slowly being forgotten and a "free-floating" globalised
hatred of Jews is being spread via the Internet and
television. EI contributer Jonathan Cook looks at the
realities.

Journalists in Danger:
PBS DOCUMENTARY "IN THE LINE OF FIRE" TO RE-AIR ON JUNE 5TH
Listings, The Electronic Intifada, 31 May 2003

While working as a journalist in Israel, Patricia Naylor,
a Canadian TV producer, met a number of Palestinian video
cameramen and still photographers who cover the frequent
clashes in Hebron. These journalists work for Western
media companies. Cameramen Mazen Dana and Nael Shyouki of
the British news agency, Reuters, and their colleagues are
accustomed to the risks of photographing street protests
and riots. But displaying their wounds, they all told
Naylor they had become targets of Israeli soldiers firing
rubber bullets and even live ammunition. The excellent
Frontline documentary is being rebroadcast on 5 June 2003
on PBS.

Human Rights:
ARREST AND DETENTION: A MEASURE OF
FIRST RESORT FOR PALESTINIAN CHILDREN
Defense for Children International, Report, 31 May 2003

This international children's day, DCI draws the world's
attention to the plight of the Palestinian child,
particularly those deprived of their liberty and locked
away in Israeli prisons, which comprises an increasing
number of under-18's in the Occupied Palestinian
Territories.

Human Rights:
ON ISRAEL'S SEPARATION FENCE
Meron Rappaport, Yedioth Ahronoth, 31 May 2003

Something strange has been happening in recent months to
the separation fence. What began thanks to a campaign of
the Israeli Left and Center under Barak-style slogans of
"we are here, they are there," it has become the baby of
the Sharon government. The same Sharon who during the
unity government opposed building the fence and was
dragged into it almost against his will, on any given day
has 500 bulldozers at work, paving and building one of the
largest projects in the history of the country, perhaps
the largest. Meron Rappaport reports in Yedioth Ahronoth.
