  • 'Racist' Israeli minister's visit to Al-Aqsa sparks outrage: An Israeli Cabinet minister who made headlines last week for racist remarks about Arabs paid a rare visit to Occupied Jerusalem' ;s Al-Aqsa Mosque Tuesday, prompting condemnation from Palestinian religious leaders. Nine years ago, a similar visit sparked a bloody uprising. Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, a member of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman' ;s ultranationali st Yisrael Beitenu party, went to Islam's third-holiest site to review police deployments in the flashpoint area, his spokesman said. He said the visit was coordinated with Muslim authorities, a remark contradicted by the city's leading cleric. During the 90-minute visit, Aharonovitch entered the mosque, which sits in a complex in the Old City known to Muslims as Al-Haram Al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) and to Jews as the Temple Mount.

  • ***The Right?s real enemies. Right-wing MKs harm settlement enterprise by toppling rightist governments: In 1999, when I served as a member of the National Religious Party?s Central committee, Knesset Member Hanan Porat asked for my endorsement. I told him that there is no way I will vote for him, because he is responsible for toppling Netanyahu. ?And what could we have done after Netanyahu signed the Wye Agreement?? he asked. I explained that the upcoming elections featured two terrible possibilities: Barak?s rise to power, making Netanyahu?s term a wet rightist dream, or a Netanyahu victory that would enable him to form a government without the rightists who undermined him. In both cases, the Right loses, I said. Knesset members from Tzomet, Moledet, and Tehiya quit the Shamir government in protest of the Madrid Conference, thereby toppling Israel?s most rightist PM ever. Their efforts were successful, and Rabin became PM. The Right paid the price in the form of the Oslo Accords and Instead, we got Barak, the second Intifada, and the shameful flight from Lebanon.

  • Costs of conflict - The changing face of Bethlehem, joint report by OCHA and UNSCO: The glory of Bethlehem, a city of historical and religious importance for those of the Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths alike is vanishing. Surrounded by Israel?s Barrier on two sides and restricted roads and roadblocks on the other, urban Bethlehem1 has become isolated from the rest of the West Bank and most importantly, from Jerusalem. Straining Links Between Bethlehem and Jerusalem The spiritual, cultural and economic lifeline of Bethlehem has traditionally been tied to Jerusalem, located just a few kilometres away, allowing residents of both cities to freely visit their holy sites. This centuries-old link is being undermined. A number of Israeli settlements have been built around Bethlehem. Additionally, movement restrictions for Palestinians have been tightened due to the security situation with the aim of protecting Israeli civilians from suicide attacks and other violence. Bethlehem?s self-sufficien cy has also diminished

  • ISRAEL?S GOVERNMENT BLUNDER AFTER BLUNDER: I believe that since Israel won the miraculous 1967 Six-day war against Arab countries, its successive governments have consistently failed to safeguard its population and have in fact aggravated the terrorist threats that have produced so many deaths and maimed Jews throughout the subsequent years.

  • The May Day massacre of 1921 (Another Tack by Sarah Honig): THERE WAS no occupation when the 1921 intifada erupted on May 1. On that hot day the British police permitted a group of Labor-Zionists to hold a May Day parade in then-tiny Tel Aviv, but denied the same privilege to Jewish communists, who rallied anyway in Neveh Shalom, the second-earlies t Jewish neighborhood adjacent to Jaffa. The two groups of leftist Jews collided and exchanged a few blows. But while the Brits energetically chased several communists through Neveh Shalom's winding narrow lanes, they doggedly turned a blind eye to the thousands of Arabs massing in Jaffa, all brandishing clubs, knives, hatchets and metal pipes and hysterically chanting "itbach el-Yahud (slaughter the Jews)." ... Brenner, who considered it paramount to revolutionize both the Jew and the Jewish lot, was slaughtered - as were other Jews before and after him -for no other reason than being Jewish.
