Why thank you Dafna Yee for letting me know where Francis A. Boyle hangs out. And including his email address. I fail to see what is wrong with http://www.mediamonitors.net/francis3.html "Second, any further negotiations with Israel must be conducted on the basis of Resolution 181 (II) and its borders; Resolution 194 (III); subsequent General Assembly resolutions and Security Council resolutions; the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions of 1949; the 1907 Hague Regulations; and other relevant principles of public international law." Or are you telling us that Israel must not be bound by international agreements it has insisted binds everyone else? On the contrary, this is standard practice - pacta sunt servanda, if you didn't know. Agreements must be kept. And this: "Third, we must abandon the fiction and the fraud that the United States government is an "honest broker." The United States government has never been an honest broker from well before the very outset of these negotiations in 1991. Rather, the United States has invariably sided with Israel against the Palestinians. We need to establish some type of international framework to sponsor these negotiations where the Palestinian negotiators will not be subjected to the continual bullying, threats, harassment, intimidation and outright lies perpetrated by the United States government." It seems to me at any rate that the United States is maintaining Israel as a "local cop" in the Middle East. As such, it is unlikely that anything will get done towards bringing about peace while that is in force. And the Ramallahonline article actually makes very good sense, Hank, in relation to the Bush administration's tenuous grasp of reality. Mundus vult decipi "The world wishes to be deceived" - my favorite line from James Branch Cabell's "Biography of the Life of Manuel", I think it's in "Figures of Clay", or "Jurgen", set in Poictesme of course. http://users.aol.com/s6sj7gt/mikecab.htm It's interesting though, in the light of Dafna Yee's attitudes on Palestinians, etc, that Francis A. Boyle records: http://www.counterpunch.org/boylebiglie.html "While in residence as an Associate at the Harvard Center for International Affairs (CFIA) from 1976-1978, I also came into contact with Walid Khalidi. I was present for the dramatic off-the-record confrontation between him and Shimon Peres at the standing CFIA Seminar on "American Foreign Policy" then conducted by Stanley Hoffmann at their old headquarters on 6 Divinity Avenue. Peres refused to budge even one inch no matter how flexible Khalidi was. A harbinger for the Middle East Peace Negotiations over a decade later." Sadly I get the same impression from reading the news. And let me quote the in flagrante absurditate Dafna Yee: "In it he reiterates every lie that the Arabs have dreamed up in their campaign to destroy Israel and replace it with 'Palestine"." Strangely enough he seems to have have a different idea: "There was some more diplomatic sparring back and forth between the Jordanian Deputy Ambassador and me about the right of the Palestinian People to unilaterally establish their own independent nation state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as their Capital." "Each to his creed," said Yaotl. "So do men choose between hope and despair." "Yes, creeds mean very little," Coth answered the dark god, still speaking almost gently. "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. So I elect for neither label. I merely know that, at the end of all my journeying, there remains for me only to settle down, in my comfortable castles yonder in Poictesme, and to live contentedly with my fine-looking wife Azra and with my son Jurgen.". -- The Silver Stallion, Chap. 26 Shalom l'kol uvrakha Wesley Parish On Thu, 08 Apr 2004 09:23, you wrote: > ANNOUNCEMENTS and ARTICLES: http://pnews.org/art/art.shtml > > > Francis A.
