| Middle East News (News from the middle east and the rest of the world) U.S. Terror Cites Venezuela The report notes Chavez's "ideological sympathy" for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the Colombian-based National Liberation Army, which "regularly crossed into Venezuelan territory to rest and regroup." -May 8 2008 it is a really bad idea to label all of america's enemies as "terrorists". it belittles the word and makes it hard to find REAL terrorists Israel: 60 Years In 60 seconds -May 8 2008 Livini: Israel Has No Hiden Agenda On The West Bank Settlements Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Sunday that Israel has "no hidden agenda" regarding West Bank settlements, after U.S. Secretary of State called Israel's policy in the area "problematic." -May 6 2008 actually there was a plan being drawan up by Olmert LEAVING THE WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS until hamas kidnapped shalit and started this bloody battle with israel! Mazuz: Olmert's Suspension Not Being Discussed Attorney general responds to publications on new investigation against PM, rejects claims of Justice Ministry's stance as to his suspension from office. PM's office: No additional questioning sessions scheduled for coming week. -May 6 2008 that would be nice. bu what would be nicer is an impeachment. Carter's Hamas Hug Haunts Obama During Senator Barack Obama's bad week last week, when he lost Pennsylvania, Jimmy Carter's rogue diplomatic mission to the Middle East did not help. I know of no surveys tracking the impact of Carter's Hamas hug on Obama's popularity. Still, Democrats who want a muscular, effective American response to Islamism noticed. Having this presidential has-been embracing terrorists haunted Obama, with Carter as the ghost of Christmas past preying on fears that Obama himself will be the ghost of Christmas future, perpetually globetrotting, blinded by moral relativism, imprisoned by lovely rhetoric and high ideals, absolving dictators and terrorists of their anti-American sins and crimes against humanity. -May 6 2008 Sentencing Judge Condemns Saddam's Execution The judge who sentenced Saddam Hussein to death has condemned the manner in which the notorious dictator was executed. "It was uncivilized and backward," said Chief Judge Raouf Abdul Rahman, who spoke to reporters on Tuesday as they awaited the start of the latest trial of ex-regime members. -May 1 2008 Israel Fears An Obama Presidency Most Israelis would prefer that almost anyone (with perhaps the exception of Louis Farrakhan) but Obama become the next US President. They have good reason for their grave fears of what an Obama presidency would mean to Israel. And their fears are not just based on the fact that he is the favored candidate of Arabs and Muslims. The Israelis are watching the company he keeps. -May 1 2008 israel-supporters have nothing to fear from obama. he is not a muslim, he may be close to some muslim groups, but so are many democratic candidates. it means he supports muslim issues in the united states. obama has made it very clear that he is a strong supporter of Israel and no one can show any proof to the otherwise. Libya Slams UN Walkout Over Holocaust Remark Libya stands by its UN envoy's comparison of the plight of Palestinians in Gaza to the Holocaust and deplores a walkout by Western diplomats in protest at the comments, official Libyan media reported on Wednesday. -April 30 2008 maybe libya should think for a little bit, just try to think of one time during ww2 that a jew killed a german civilian, then he will see what the difference is bettween a holocaust and the current blockade against gaza Saudis Deny Rift In Relations With Syria Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said yesterday that the Kingdom and Syria were in direct contact with each other and denied that relations had come to a halt. “Relations have not been cut. They are still ongoing and communication between us continues,” Prince Saud told reporters yesterday, while addressing a joint press conference with visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, who arrived in the Kingdom on Sunday at the head of an official delegation. Prince Saud expressed surprise at Iranian suggestions that it was ready to mediate between the Kingdom and Syria. “I do not think there is any need for a mediator between Saudi Arabia and Syria. We are surprised by offers of outside mediation between us,” he said. -April 29 2008 there is definitly a rift between saudi arabia and syria, but it isn't over the be-headings. it is over Syria's continued suppor of Iran's anti-arab agenda. U.S. Seeks Iran Attack Plan A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against American troops. "I have reserve capability, in particular our Navy and our Air Force so it would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," Mullen said. -April 29 2008 and this is after it is proven by the NIE that Iran is no imminen threat to the U.S.??? we dont even know for sure yet if they are behind the attacks on our troops. i dont trust a word that comes out of the mouth of any neoconservative, in fact i'm having trouble deciding which is the lesser of two evils: the neoconservatives or the revolutionary guard. Saudi Says Beheadings Of Syrians Not Political Saudi Justice Minister Abdullah al-Sheikh on Monday said there was nothing political behind recent beheadings of Syrians in the ultra-conservative kingdom, amid strained ties between the two countries. "We do not execute anyone for political reasons," Al-Sheikh told reporters in the Qatari capital on the sidelines of a conference on justice in the Arab world. -April 29 2008 remember, the saudis have very stric drug laws. they will execute ANYONE of ANY NATIONALITY who is accused of drug smuggling. Syria: We Wont Cut Ties With Iran For Peace With Israel Syria will not sever ties with Iran and Hezbollah even as part of a possible peace agreement with Israel, a senior Syrian analyst who is handling the government's contacts as it relates to the peace process said on Tuesday. "It would be naive to think Syria will neglect or abandon its strategic alliances that do not stem from the Arab-Israeli conflict," the analyst, Dr. Samir Taqi, said in an interview with Al-Manar television. -April 28 2008 talk is cheap. i have no doubt in my mind that Syria would abandon its bad behavior in return for U.S. protection of their secular dictatorship. Syrian Beheaded In Saudi Arabia For Drug Smuggling Syrian Ibrahim al-Jarekh was beheaded Friday in Saudi Arabia two weeks after two other Syrians were beheaded there on the same charges. Nearly 100 protesters held a sit-in to demand that Saudi hand over other Syrian prisoners. "These are politically motivated verdicts," Mohammed said. Syrian-Saudi relations have been strained over what Saudi officials see as Syria's role in promoting Iranian interests in the Arab world as well as Syria's interference in Lebanese politics. Saudi Arabian king Abdullah boycotted the arab summit in Damascus, blaming Syria for blocking the election of a president of the Republic of Lebanon. -April 28 2008 i dont know if it is appropriate to label the beheading "political". the saudi laws against drugs are tough FOR ANYONE. they have been using the the death penalty for drug smuggling since 1988. Amanpour: Syria Claim Could Affect US-North Korea Talks The real question right now, John, is how does it affect the very serious negotiations that are going on between the United States and North Korea to de-arm and disarm North Korea's nuclear plant. I was in North Korea in February. We did get an exclusive look with another news agency at Yongbyon. That plant is disabled. There are American experts there monitoring and supervising that. I also spoke with North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator just after I had been at the plant, and he assured us that those diplomatic negotiations are going ahead to try to disarm North Korea. -April 29 2008 What Do Libya, Iran, Cuba, Russia, And Pakistan Have In Common? Why of course! At the United Nations, they’ve all been picked to lead the preparations for the UN’s “Durban Review” mega-conference against “racism,” scheduled for sometime in 2009. They all have seats on the 20-member preparatory committee which has just begun a two-week meeting in Geneva to plan for this Durban II pow-wow —which now looms as a reprise of the anti-democratic, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-American 2001 conference that was Durban I. This round, Libya is chairing the preparations. Cuba gets to send not one, but two officials to the planning party; one to plan and the other to act as rapporteur. -April 29 2008 Libya Riles West At UN Meet Israel hailed Western diplomats today for walking out of a United Nations (UN) Security Council meeting after Libya’s ambassador compared conditions in the Gaza Strip to Nazi concentration camps. "We are very concerned about what happened yesterday at the UN Security Council, which was taken hostage by irresponsible countries that have in the past been linked to terrorism." -April 29 2008 What Really Happened In The Middle East -April 29 2008 i was originally not going to post this because it is too pro-Jewish and talked too much about jewish persecution. but i have decided to post it because it reveals some startling facts about the middle east which many do not know. so pay attention to the history, not the pro-jewish bias VIDEO: Terrorist Says Goodbye to Daughter Home video shows a tender side of a suicide bomber before he goes on to his terrorist acts. CNN's Paula Newton reports. -April 25 2008 sad and pathetic! UN Security Members Walk Out of Meeting On Gaza Some members of the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday walked out of informal consultations on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip after Libya’s UN ambassador Ibrahim al-Dabbashi compared Gaza to Nazi concentration camps, Zaheer Laher, the spokesperson to South Africa’s UN ambassador, told me following consultations. -April 24 2008 PA Representative Plans Israel's Destruction Palestinian Authority Representative in Lebanon Abbas Zaki Supports Anti-Israeli Attacks and States: We Act According to the Phased Plan. Once We Get Jerusalem, We Will Move On to Drive Israelis Out of All of Palestine. -April 24 2008 i take anything i hear from memri with a grain of salt, but what mr. Zaki stated is the number 1 reason of the israeli/palestinian conflict: the Palestinians' refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist. Until the palestinians recognize israel, there cannot possibly be peace between the two no matter what Israel does! Former President Jimmy Carter: The Honest Broker Not only should the U.S. government support Carter in his mission (he'll meet with Mashaal in Syria later this week), it ought to send Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice along. Carter has been critical of the Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, something that has earned him little in the way of good among Israelis. The only top Israeli official who agreed to meet with Carter during his visit to the country is President Shimon Peres -- everyone else had "scheduling conflicts" -- although the AP reports that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had the time to meet with "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller. And the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, also refused to help guard Carter during his visit. -April 24 2008 the writer of this article seems to be woefully ignorant of why the israelis are so mad at carter. the fact that he used the aparteid slur against israel so publicly automaticly disqulifies him as a true "honest broker" Our Debt To Jimmy Carter The government of Israel is boycotting Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, during his visit here this week. Ehud Olmert, who has not managed to achieve any peace agreement during his public life, and who even tried to undermine negotiations in the past, "could not find the time" to meet the American president who is a signatory to the peace agreement with Egypt. President Shimon Peres agreed to meet Carter, but made sure that he let it be known that he reprimanded his guest for wishing to meet with Khaled Meshal, as if the achievements of the Carter Center fall short of those of the Peres Center for Peace. Carter, who himself said he set out to achieve peace between Israel and Egypt from the day he assumed office, worked incessantly toward that goal and two years after becoming president succeeded - was declared persona non grata by Israel. The boycott will not be remembered as a glorious moment in this government's history. Jimmy Carter has dedicated his life to humanitarian missions, to peace, to promoting democratic elections, and to better understanding between enemies throughout the world. Recently, he was involved in organizing the democratic elections in Nepal, following which a government will be set up that will include Maoist guerrillas who have laid down their arms. But Israelis have not liked him since he wrote the book "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid." -April 23 2008 no mater how mad we are at carter, we have to acknowledge he has done one good thing for israel that could eventually result in all-out peace: he made peace between israel and egypt. and israel's supporers should never forget that Islamic Jihad Slams Carter's Statements Condemning Rocket Attacks The Islamic Jihad (Holy War) movement in Gaza has slammed on Tuesday the statements of former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, after he termed the rockets attacks on Israel as "a big crime." Dawood Shihab, spokesman for the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza, said in response that "Carter's statement of describing resistance as a crime against humanity is in itself an overthrow on the morals of humanity." "Why didn't he (Carter) go to visit the West Bank to see the settlements, the wall and the roadblocks, and why he didn't go to visit Gaza to see how one million and a half Palestinians are slowly killed by the blockade," said Shihab. -April 16 2008 'you cant help but laugh at their stupidity. House Chair Condemns Carter, Hamas Talks The new chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday criticized fellow Democrat Jimmy Carter for plans to meet with Hamas, saying the former president holds "warped" views on the Middle East. -April 16 2008 Carter Defies Israel And Meets Hamas Ex-Minister Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter met an ex-minister in Hamas's government on Tuesday, defying Israeli leaders who shunned the Nobel Peace Prize laureate over his contacts with the Islamist movement. -April 15 2008 PLO Official: We'll Drive Israel Out Of Palestine "In light of the weakness of the Arab nation and the lack of values, and in light of the American control over the world, the PLO proceeds through phases, without changing its strategy. Let me tell you, when the ideology of Israel collapses, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine," added Zaki. -April 15 2008 and as long as the palestinians continue their goal of wiping out israel, there cannot be peace no matter what israel does Israeli Officials Snub Jimmy Carter Carter met Sunday with Israel's ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, at the beginning of a week-long Mideast tour, but Israel's political leadership is avoiding him. Israel's perception is that in the 30 years since he got Israel and Egypt together, Carter has turned hostile toward Israel, while favoring the Palestinians. -April 15 2008 and rightly so Carter Lays Wreath For Arafat Jimmy Carter, the former US president, has laid a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat, the late Palestinian leader, further defying Israeli leaders already critical of his plans to meet Hamas. -April 15 2008 Carter Embraces Hamas Official At West Bank Meeting Former President Carter angered Israel's government Tuesday by embracing a Hamas politician during a visit to the West Bank, ignoring Israeli and U.S. designation of the Islamic militants as a terror group. Israel accused Carter, the broker of the first Arab-Israeli peace accord, of "dignifying" extremists. But Carter vowed to meet Hamas' supreme leader this week in Syria. Carter, a Nobel Peace laureate, also laid a wreath at Yasser Arafat's grave, another break with U.S. policy during a private peace mission to the Middle East that includes stops in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Syria — where the virulently anti-Israel Hamas movement has its headquarters. Carter returns to Israel on Monday. "Since Syria and Hamas will have to be involved in a final peace agreement, they have to be involved in discussions that lead to final peace," Carter said in the West Bank city of Ramallah. -April 15 2008 UNSC Calls For Disarming Hezbollah The U.N. Security Council called Tuesday for the disarming of Hezbollah and all other militias in Lebanon and greater progress toward a permanent ceasefire and long-term solution to the conflict between Lebanon and Israel. That resolution reiterates a call for the disarming of all militias and bans arms transfers to them. It calls on the government to secure its borders and entry points "to prevent the entry into Lebanon without its consent of arms or related materiel." -April 15 2008 and judging by the post just below, i dont think we can expect Iran to cooperate too much with this resolution. Iran: UNSC Resolutions On Iran Not Legal Iran's President Ahmadinejad says anti-Iran Security Council resolutions run counter to the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA) regulations. "The UN Security Council has passed resolutions against Iran based on inaccurate information," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told IRIB. -April 15 2008 Iranian, Lebanese Officials Skip Doha Conference Over Livni's Participation Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni arrived on Sunday for a first visit in Qatar, where she is scheduled to deliver a keynote address on international dialogue and peace before the Doha Forum on Democracy, Development and Free Trade. Foreign Ministry sources said that senior officials from Iran and Lebanon have decided to boycott participation in the forum due to Livni's participation. Those officials include Lebanon's parliament speaker, Nabi Berri, former Lebanese foreign minister Fauzi Saluh and former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami. While in Qatar, Livni hopes to convince Arab states to bolster their support for the Palestinian Authority to enable effective negotiations for a peace settlement. Livni also hopes to use the three-day visit to build a consensus among Arab nations against Iran's nuclear ambitions and to promote a "gradual" normalization of ties between Israel and Gulf states in order to facilitate the peace process. -April 13 2008 which shows Iran and Lebanon's interest in peace in the region. Deadly Blast Tears Through Mosque In Iran A hand-made bomb exploded after evening prayers Saturday at a mosque in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, leaving nine people dead and 105 wounded, Iran's state-run television reported. However, the official Islamic Republic News Agency offered a conflicting report about the explosion. It quoted the governor general of Shiraz as saying, "Initial surveys about the cause of the blast have proved there has been no bomb involved in the incident and, therefore, there (are) other probable causes." -April 12 2008 Iran, Stop Persecuting Your Arab Minority 'Collective punishment" is a term used often used to describe Israel's retaliation against Hamas terrorist attacks. Teheran usually rushes to be the first in line to accuse the Jewish state. Yet the Iranian regime's claim to represent the interests of Arabs is belied by its brutal persecution of the indigenous Ahwazi Arabs living within its own territory, who have been under direct rule from Persians since the end of self-government in 1925. This week, Iran cut off drinking water supply to Arab villages along the left bank of the Shatt al-Arab, causing social unrest and fears of an outbreak of disease. Ahwazi Arabs are the most deprived and persecuted ethnic group in the Middle East, with human development indicators at an African level - far below those of the Palestinians. This ethno-national group has been subjected to forced relocation, land confiscation, cultural repression, state terrorism, mass executions and economic disadvantage, even though their land is one of the most oil-rich regions in the world. Being deprived of drinking water is simply the latest atrocity committed against them. -April 11 2008 Another Gaza Christian Abducted By Muslims Israel Today has learned that Fuad Nabil Ayyad, a Christian resident of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, was abducted in Gaza City about a week ago by Muslim assailants. The report was later confirmed by independent Arab Christian sources. Fuad is a relative of Rami Ayyad, an employee of the Gaza Bible Society and by all accounts an enthusiastic witness for the Lord who was brutally executed last year by Muslim forces that intend to impose strict Islamic law on Gaza. -April 9 2008 Allying With Christian Zionists Is Bad For Israel "No, we cannot." We cannot cooperate with the Christian Zionists, Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, President of the Union for Reform Judaism, told the annual conference of the movement's rabbis Wednesday night in Cincinnati, Ohio, according to copies of the speech distributed ahead of time to the press. Not an easy thing to say, considering their powerful numbers and the depth of the Evangelicals' support for Israel. But Yoffie thinks it is important - not because of their stance on abortion, their policies against homosexuals or the fact they do not respect members of other religions. These elements certainly add to the argument, particularly the last factor, but they are not the main reasons. "What they mean by support of Israel and what we mean by support of Israel are two very different things," Yoffie says, highlighting the real reason. In his speech Wednesday night, however, Yoffie declared that an alliance with Christian Zionists must be rejected for the sake of Israel. Christian Zionist support for Israel is harmful, he said. It's not "unconditional support for the Jewish state," but rather support for certain leaders, certain parties, for a political agenda that is unacceptable to Yoffie and, he believes, to a majority of Israelis. The Evangelicals reject a two-state solution and oppose Israeli territorial concessions, and for that reason the Reform Movement cannot cooperate with them. -April 9 2008 allying with ANY religious extremist is bad for anyone! Oil Prices Above $112 As Supplies Fall The price of oil has surged to a new record, with a barrel a crude trading above $112 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A government report that oil and fuel supplies were lower than expected last week gave crude a push past its latest milestone. But months of buying by speculators and by investors seeking refuge from a falling dollar have also lifted oil to its new heights. -April 9 2008 2 Israelis Killed In Palestinian Attack The Israeli army says Palestinian militants crossed into southern Israel and killed two Israeli civilians before fleeing back to the Gaza Strip. -April 9 2008 Jimmy Carter To Meet Hamas Leader In Syria Meanwhile, a State Department spokesman in Washington, D.C., told FOXNews.com that the department is aware that Carter is planning a stay in the region, but would not disclose details of the trip. That spokesman noted, however, that “the State Department has expressed our concerns and advised President Carter that past engagement with the Syrian regime has not produced positive results.” -April 9 2008 More Pro-Tibet Protests Mar Olympic Flame Ceremony Greece–Chinese spectators cheered Sunday as Greece handed off the Olympic flame for its journey to Beijing and relay through 20 countries. But protesters brandishing Tibetan flags stole the limelight. Some two dozen activists chanted "Save Tibet!" and unfurled a banner reading "Stop Genocide in Tibet" before police intervened, detaining 21 protesters outside the Panathenian Stadium. Most were later freed. -April 9 2008 lets take a second and compare the pro-tibet protests to "pro-Palestinian" protests. just take a look at how anywhere around the world NO ONE is taking a pro-China stance. when pro-Palestinian protests occur, there are always about an equal amount of pro-israel demonstrators. my point: to anyone in the pro-palestinian community: DONT EVEN DARE COMPARE ISRAEL TO CHINA OR THE PALESTINIANS TO THE TIBETIANS!!!! UN Expert Stands By Nazi Remarks The next UN investigator into Israeli conduct in the occupied territories has stood by comments comparing Israeli actions in Gaza to those of the Nazis. Speaking to the BBC, Professor Richard Falk said he believed that up to now Israel had been successful in avoiding the criticism that it was due. -April 9 2008 what do you expect? its the UN Hezbollah Turns To Iran For New Weapons To Wage War On Israel The Shia "martyrs" of this hill village are normally killed in the dangerous, stony landscape of southern Lebanon, in Israeli air raids or invasions or attacks from the sea. The Hizbollah duly honours them. But the body of the latest Shia fighter to be buried here – from the local Hashem family – was flown back to Lebanon last month from Iran. -April 9 2008 it seems more than obvious that if hostilities erupt between israel and hezbollah, hezbollah will have been the one to initiated the conflict, with help from iran. US Congress: Don't Forget About Jewish Refugees The US House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a non-binding resolution calling on the administration to remember about the the hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees from Arab nations when conducting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. -April 9 2008 as long as the US House does not degrade, neglect or belittle the arab refugees, i have no problems with, and believe its perfectly fair and balanced, for my government to take on this important issue! EU Hails Israel For Avid Cooperation Israeli-European economic ties are growing as the parties seek to speedily integrate the strong and expanding Israeli economy into the huge European market, according to EU officials. -April 9 2008 Israel Would Destroy Iran If Attacked "An Iranian attack against Israel would trigger a tough reaction that would lead to the destruction of the Iranian nation," National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said in remarks of rare virulence. "Iranians are aware of our strength but continue to provoke us by arming their Syrian allies and Hezbollah," he said during a meeting at his ministry. -April 8 2008 and they could have destroyed Iraq too. it is absolutely ludacris to sugeest israel had something to do with the iraq war.
