NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- See video from UNICEF at: http://www.thenewsmarket.com/Releases/ StoryDetailPage.aspx?GUID=e9b33e17-9f5e-4a23-a5a3- 299be7fd6877&lr=ls#
[...] in September the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development reported that the economy of the occupied Palestinian territory continued to perform well below potential. The International Federation of Human Rights worries that "Thousands of extrajudicial and summary executions, massacres, enforced disappearances, internally displaced persons and other grave international crimes have been documented by the United Nations themselves in Colombia under Uribe's presidency," and pointed to his attempts to develop security cooperation with Israel.
The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps... As for security, every state has the right to selfdefense, and Israel must be able to defend itself - by itself - against any threat... The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, non-militarized state. The speech was "a declaration of war against the Palestinians," said leading Palestinian official, Nabil Sha'ath. "This is an escalation and unfortunately, it received a standing ovation. We hav...

Some observers predict a hot summer in the Middle East. They think [Ehud Olmert] will seek [George W. Bush]'s backing for another war in Lebanon, perhaps extending this time to Syria, to finish off their common enemies - Lebanon's Hizbullah and President Bashar al-Asad's regime in Damascus - in preparation for a joint assault on their ultimate nemesis, President Mahmud Ahmadinejad in Tehran. The war scenario is, unfortunately, the more plausible. The destruction of Hizbullah, and its Palestinian sister Hamas, is still very much on Israel's wish-list, as is the termination, one way or another, of Iran's program of uranium enrichment. And to Israel's way of thinking, Syria - the vital link between Iran and Hizbullah - must also be neutralized, by war if other means fail. Olmert has hinted...

Ramallah will not receive [LEONARD COHEN] as long as he is intent on whitewashing Israel's colonial apartheid regime by performing in Israel," the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) said in a statement. "PACBI has always rejected any attempt to "balance" concerts or other artistic events in Israel conscious acts of complicity in Israel's violation of international law and human rights - with token events in the occupied Palestinian territory. The Ramallah event was to be hosted by the Palestinian prisoners' club and attended by families of some of the 11,000 Pales- tinians in Israeli jails or detention centers. Some campaigners have expressed criticism at the cancellation of the West Bank gig, describing it as a "missed opportunity" for the hig...
Calling for a general boycott of Israeli goods and services until Israel complies with international law, and promoting a boycott of all academic, cultural and tourist institutions that are complicit in maintaining Israel's occupation, was considered the most effective nonviolent strategy against Israeli atrocities, Barghouti said. Veolia, for example, lost $7 billion when the company abandoned the Jerusalem light rail project aimed at connecting illegal Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian territory to the city of Jerusalem, in violation of the Geneva Convention's prohibition of an occupier changing the nature of occupied lands.
In their letter to Snoop, they expressed the sentiments of the Palestinian arts community, saying it "was deeply saddened and surprised by the news of your upcoming performance in Israel." The letter urged Snoop to cancel his performance until Israel terminates its belligerent occupation and complies with international law. PACBI also highlighted the struggles of Palestinian rappers and musicians in the occupied Palestinian territory. "They," according to the letter, "are often denied their right to travel, sometimes even within the occupied Palestinian territory; many are denied access to festivals; and some are imprisoned, injured or killed by the occupation forces. A group of Israeli activists who support a global boycott of Israel said in their letter, "We will not be able to atten...
[...] the announced intention to reduce the number of crossing points for goods from 12 to six, and the imposition of "back-to-back" transport procedures and new customs regulations, would, if implemented, significantly increase the cost of transportation of humanitarian supplies and result in possibly unsustainable operational obstacles. "Construction of the barrier has continued throughout the reporting period in the occupied Palestinian territory, despite the 2004 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice," he went on.
Dennis Ross has been at the center of this change in American policy. A prominent proIsrael lobbyist, his government career began in the Carter presidency and Ross rose to prominence in successive administrations eventually becoming [Bill Clinton]'s Middle East envoy. In perhaps his greatest achievement, Ross successfully substituted the coalition calculus of increasingly extremist Israeli governments as the outer limits of Palestinian rights. Aaron David Miller, Ross' deputy, would later concede Palestinian assertions that Ross was an irredeemably invested mediator: "Far too often the small group with whom I had worked in the Clinton administration, myself included, had acted as a lawyer for only one side, Israel." Ross's tenure at the helm of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations saw an un...
