Gideon Levy: Israel doesn't want peace
The moment of truth has arrived, and it has to be
said: Israel does not want peace. The arsenal of
excuses has run out, and the chorus of Israeli
rejection already rings hollow. Until recently,
it was still possible to accept the Israeli
refrain that "there is no partner" for peace and
that "the time isn't right" to deal with our
enemies. Today, the new reality before our eyes
leaves no room for doubt and the tired refrain
that "Israel supports peace" has been left shattered.
Who would have believed it? A high-ranking U.S.
official says Israel wants peace talks to resume
and instantly her president "severely" denies the
veracity of her words. Is Israel even hearing
these voices? Are we digesting the significance
of these voices for peace? Seven million
apathetic Israeli citizens prove that we are not.
It's not only Olmert who is dragging his feet. A
leading figure in the Labor party said last week
that "it will take five to 10 years to recover
from the trauma." Peace is now no more than a
threatening wound, with no one still talking
about the massive social benefits it would bring
in development, security, freedom of movement in
the region and by establishing a more just society.

Pro-Israel groups target American Muslims
LOS ANGELES -- American Muslims and Muslim groups
have long been a target of harassment and
vilification from right-wing pro-Israel groups, a
recent front-page article in the New York Times
has exposed. Such forces, according to government
sources, have used guilt by association to spread
suspicion about Islam and Muslims, and in turn,
kept Muslims out of mainstream American discourse
and stripped them of their influence in the political and social arenas.

War Criminal : Army file details brutal deaths of un-tried Afghan detainees
An interrogator told Dilawar that he could see a
doctor after they finished with him. When he was
finally sent back to his cell, though, the guards
were instructed only to chain the prisoner back to the ceiling.
Several hours passed before an emergency room
doctor finally saw Dilawar. By then he was dead, his body beginning to stiffen.
This is the image America will have to live with for the next half-century.

Iraq Papers Mon:"US Army Used Neutron Bombs"
Former General Speaks, Recounts the Battle for
Baghdad. For the fourth anniversary of the fall
of Baghdad, Aljazeera published an interview with
the former leader of the Iraqi Republican Guard,
Saif al-Deen al-Rawi, who was charged with
organizing the defenses of the capital during the 2003 invasion.
Al-Rawi claimed that US forces used neutron
nuclear bombs against the Iraqi Army during the
battle for Baghdads airport. Al-Rawi said that
his units were decimated by neutron bombs which,
he added, neutralize soldiers without damaging
buildings and equipment. Al-Rawi also claimed
that large 9-ton bombs and phosphoric weapons
that can cover large areas were used during the battle.

What the government won't tell you: we are losing Afghan hearts
Our success or failure in Helmand depends not on
warlords, or the governor of the province, or
even special forces soldiers, but on the ordinary
Afghans. And while we are spectacularly winning
the war at the tactical level against the
Taliban, we are rapidly losing the fight for those ordinary hearts and minds.
"When the Taliban were here, I escaped to the
border with Iran, but I was never worried about
my family," he said. "Every single minute of the
last three years I have been very worried. Maybe
tonight the Americans will come to my house,
molest my wife and children and arrest me."

IN MEMORY OF DEIR YASSIN : ZIONIST WAR CRIME
It is important that we pause to remember the
dead of Deir Yassin, the young, the old, the
children, the unborn. It is important that we
remember the barbarism that was carried out
against essentially defenceless people who were,
and had been, living in peace with their Jewish neighbours in Kfar Shaul.
That Jews depopulated Deir Yassin by massacre is
significant not only because of its inhumanity,
but it also marked the beginning of a campaign
whereby Jews wiped over 500 Palestinian towns and
villages off the map, killed thousands of
Palestinian people, and forced close to 800,000 to flee.

Holocaust Memory and Jewish Identity
When I recently asked some friends which chapter
of Jewish history should be mandatory knowledge
for all Jews, some chose the exodus from Egypt,
others the establishment of modern Israel and
some the emergence of prophetic Judaism.
I found it odd that no one selected the Holocaust.
Yet the Holocaust is precisely what American Jews
have chosen. After all, Holocaust education
permeates Jewish school curriculums, Holocaust
museums have emerged throughout America, and Yom
HaShoah commemorations, like the ones we will
have this month, are ever-present. In turn, Jews,
for whom Jewish philosophy remains untouchable,
turn to the destruction of European Jewry as their dominant historical memory.

Torture account sidesteps gag on Hicks
A British document speaks for the terrorist and
reveals what the US hoped to hide, reports.
He was neither interrogated nor physically
restrained nor abused, to his surprise, given the
Northern Alliance's reputation for extreme
cruelty and even killing of prisoners. Then he
was handed over to the Americans.
"When the US interrogators showed up, my
treatment changed," Hicks later recounted.
"My hands were restrained behind my back and I
was forced to kneel during interrogations. US
personnel would force me into painful physical
positions. The US interrogators would question me
and after my responses I would be slapped in the
back of the head and told I was lying."
