Torture of Palestinian Civilians Continues with the Aid of US Tax Dollars The Israeli High Court issued a restriction order banning soldiers from using civilians as human shields, yet this practice continues. Two Palestinian boys were forced to climb on top of an army jeep hood and hang to the frame of the front windscreen, while IDF soldiers accelerated to a high speed and shot at them through a small hole made for that purpose, just behind where the boys were hanging.
Palestinian journalists report that this is "business as usual."...

Israelis Detain Hundreds Without Trial Kafkaesque Nightmare Awaits Arrested Palestinians Yael Stein, research director of the B'Tselem human rights group in Israel, says that administrative detention is a Kafkaesque nightmare.
"The prisoners are held on the signature of a major-general. They don't know what the charges are against them. They have the right of appeal but it's before a military court and because they don't know what they are accused of they can't present a defense.
"The detention orders are between four and six months, and when they expire the arm...

A Response to the "Open Letter from American Jews to Our Government" It was great to read the Open Letter in the paper yesterday, a great step in the right direction. But that's all it is. Is a step. There's lots of room for improvement in achieving a just peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. There should be no double standards and the Palestinians should not be expected to settle for anything less than any other human would expect, and that includes Israelis. When one can truly put themselves in the position of the other and feel OK about th...

Is It Really About the Oil? Many people assume that the war is really about oil. While there can be no doubt that the lure of the Middle East to Britain, Europe and America has always been primarily the oil, I think it's safe to say it's not worth rushing into war for oil based on the facts below. The theory that it's really a war that Zionists in American government want for Israel and Zionists' sake makes more sense, horribly so....

Jenin Will Not Be Forgotten Israel has tried to hide the truth about Israel, even blocking a UN -factfinding team, and hiding behind the US apron to be protected from scrutiny. However, thankfully, in this day and age, one can dig for the truth to find it thanks to the internet, and small independent American free press and media, and to peace activists who speak out. The movie "Jenin, Jenin" is coming to a theatre near you. And this book is also now available. No more US aid to racist, anti-democratic, ap...

Martin Peretz Scum of the Earth The "state-targeted assassinations" that Amnesty cited, is a politically correct way of saying that Tel Aviv is running death squads in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. These are the same kind of death squads that were used by the oligarchies in Central America, like in Guatemala, in the 70s, to dispose of their putative enemies. The only difference between the two is that the Zionist killers prefer to murder their Palestinians victims from a safe distance, via a missile shot from a...
