Prior to the start of the new round of Israel-Palestinian Authority (PA) direct negotiations, a high-ranking administration official briefed the media today on what to expect. Having read the transcript prior to its official release, I will summarize here the most interesting points.

The PMW is an organization founded in 1996 to study the Palestinian society "from a broad range of perspectives" by monitoring and analyzing the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks. The PMW learns the messages that the Palestinian leaders of the PA, the Fatah and the Hamas send to the population.(From:About us, the PMW).
( Fatah is the movement who controls the PA).

The may – June 2010 information on Incitement

Abu Mazen promised the U.S State Dept. on nay 2010, to work against incitement of any sort.

President Truman regarded his Secretary of State, General of the Army George C. Marshall, as "the greatest living American." Yet the two men were on a collision course over Mideast policy. Marshall firmly opposed American recognition of the new Jewish state.

The Role of Radical Islamic Groups in Israel:
Implications for Israeli-Arab Coexistence

Many in the Arab world felt deep humiliation due to George W. Bush. The Islamic view is that Islam came to the world to replace Judaism and Christianity, and all of the sudden comes a religious Christian president and occupies Iraq, the capital of the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate and the beating heart of Arab history. So when Bush left office, this was viewed as a victory for Allah over the modern Crusaders.

President Bashar Assad of Syria this week reiterated his country's firm strategic alliance with Hizbullah. The occasion for the dictator's remarks was the latest visit by Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri to the Syrian capital. Assad's statement was particularly noteworthy because some in Lebanon and further afield have claimed to discern in recent weeks a growing distance between Syria and Hizbullah.

Nabil Shaath is a member of the Palestinian negotiation team. He declared on September 8, 2010 (Walla, Israel):"We Will Never Recognize Israel as a Jewish State."

Shaath explained his reasons for making such a statement, arguing that the "recognition of Israel as a Jewish state would harm Israel's Arab citizens and negate the right of return to Palestinian refugees to Israel."

Anti-Zionism and the Abuse of Academic Freedom:
A Case Study at the University of California, Santa Cruz
Tammi Rossman-Benjamin

Since 2001, anti-Zionist discourse has found its way into classrooms and academic events at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). At an academic conference held on that campus in 2007, the speakers claimed that Zionism was an illegitimate ideology and argued for the elimination of the Jewish state.

It's hard to believe that this question is being asked gain, but sadly, after 70 years it has emerged nonetheless: Is there room for Jewish existence in Europe? Can Jews continue living as a proud community, in 2009, in that same continent with the terrible memories? The answer, in light of what has been materializing in the past few weeks – yet not only because of this – is negative.

Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People: From the San Remo Conference (1920) to the Netanyahu-Abbas Talks

According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the real root of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians had been their ongoing refusal to recognize "the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own in their historic homeland" and he has singled out this issue as a key "prerequisite for ending the conflict." Netanyahu's proposal puts back on the global agenda a fundamental Jewish national right that was once axiomatic but today is rarely mentioned.

An anomaly of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that a 3000 year old nation must justify its right to self- determination, while a nation less than 100 years old epitomizes national legitimacy.

Less than 100 years ago a group of Arab migrants decided they were a nation and declared themselves Palestinians. Under the Oslo agreements

The world media and human rights organizations are preoccupied with counting how many Palestinians were killed/ murdered by Israelis.

Have any of these humanitarians ever counted the number of Israeli- Jews killed/ murdered by Palestinians?

How many Jews were killed/murdered by Palestinians?
1919 – 1920: 49 Jews were murdered in pogroms and some hundreds were wounded.
1929; 123 Jews were murdered in pogroms and about 350 were wounded.
1936- 1939: 400 Jews were murdered and hundreds were wounded.

Christian anti-Semitism began much later than Jesus' life. In the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which are the historically more reliable ones, Jesus views himself as a messenger of God to the Jews and as a member of the Jewish people.
The New Testament has several anti-Semitic elements in its chronologically latest documents. The Gospel of John has Jesus call the Jews "sons of the devil." There is also a case of an anti-Jewish outburst by the Apostle Paul.

A Future History of Palestine: You Want a Two-State Solution?
The following article isn’t intended to reject a two-state solution but to point out issues that would inevitably arise if one ever came about. Recently, a once-major American magazine ran a cover story saying Israelis aren’t desperately eager for “peace” without ever mentioning the real reasons why that's so:

It's simple: Rather reasonably, Israelis want to know whether they would be better or worse off after making a deal to get a promise of peace in exchange for accepting a fully independent Palestinian state.

PART ONE

Introduction

Nabil Shaath, member of the PA negotiations stuff, declared on September 7, 2010 that "the Palestinians will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state," because of the Muslims and Christians who live in Israel and because of the Palestinian demand for the "Right of Return,", namely, their demand to settle the Palestinian refugees in Israel.

The Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak also said in an interview last week to the Israeli reporter Oded Granoth, that Arabs will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state because of the non- Jews who live in Israel.

It is true that the passage of the referendum in Turkey with 58 percent of the vote can be seen as a victory for the AKP regime. But that point shouldn't be exaggerated. The bad feature of the reforms--in terms of consolidating the Islamist government's power--is to strengthen the regime's control over the courts and to limit further the autonomy of the Turkish army.
