A sudden concern for the Palestinian child - By Gideon Levy
The hundreds of children who have been killed, the thousands who have been crippled, and the hundreds of thousands who live under conditions of siege and poverty, and are exposed every day to violence and humiliation - all this has failed to move the Israeli public. Just the child with the belt.

Three Generals, One Martyr - By: Uri Avnery
I recount this experience in order to point out that the picture of Hamas as an inveterate enemy of all peace and compromise is not accurate. Of course, 10 years of bloodshed, suicide bombings and targeted assassinations have passed since then. But even now, the picture is much more complex than meets the eye.
 http://www.amin.org/eng/uri_avnery/2004/mar28.html


Some people are going to miss Ahmed Yassin
His authority, his senior position in the movement and his influence on its members derived from a combination of his cumulative experience, his personality, the successes of all the social and political projects he initiated, his personal sacrifices, the personal example he gave, the way he dealt with his handicap and his relationship with people.
 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/409304.html


Why Israel boycotted the International Court hearing on West Bank wall
Yet, instead of eliciting condemnation and threats of reprisals from the United States, Britain and the European Union for having acted as a "rogue state," Israel has been supported in its insistence that the ICJ—and by extension the United Nations—has no right to interfere in Israel’s affairs without prior agreement.

"The movie contains controversial statements and four or five scenes that are very problematic," said Mazza, adding that he had seen the film several times and determined that some scenes should be cut to satisfy those who protest its screening.

Yes, they're kicking us out
The withdrawal from Lebanon and the planned withdrawal from Gaza are only analogous in one way: Israel could have withdrawn in a much more dignified fashion and much sooner.
 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/409294.html


Analysis / AG needs strong cause to ignore Arbel's decision
State Prosecutor Edna Arbel's recommendation supporting an indictment against the prime minister has near binding status. It can only be ignored if there are very strong reasons to do so.
 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/409263.html


Road map is forgotten at dead end for negotiation
Israel's assassination of Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of Hamas, marked an extraordinarily dangerous escalation in the conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. There could hardly be a more dramatic demonstration of the disparity in military power between the two parties to this conflict.

Same Procedure every time and everywhere!!!

30.03.2004 12:46

I have followed the Manchester Pro Palestine demo very closely on Indymedia. And I can only say that I am shocked by the lack of the organisators to try to distance themselves from antesemitic expressions in any kind of way.

But they once again failed to do so. Protestors prouldy wore the Hamas head bands and mourned the death of the Hamas chef. These "freedomfighters" clearly showed what they want.

The killing of innocent Israelis by brutal suicide bombers. And no one cared!!!!
Instead of condemning violence they praised the man who is responsible for many killings in Israel.

Isn't that just as shameful as the military attacks by Israel that I strongly oppose!!!

I cannot see any attempt to reject both sides involved in the killing.

It's time for a clear statement against violence, killing and suffering. ON BOTH SIDES!!!
Peace and love for Palestinians and Israelis!!!!
