...flee and never allowed to return acknowledge the day for what it is: the catastrophe. The continued violation of Palestinian human rights is clear and well-documented, albeit ferociously undermined and consciously distorted by Israel and Israel's U.S. supporters.

He finishes the trip Saturday and Sunday in Egypt at a summit of Arab leaders, where Iran and the peace process will...
...hosting his nation's 60th birthday party, but the smile on the face of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as he greets VIP guests - including, later this week, President George W. Bush - appears wan and perfunctory. It's hard to be the life of the party when you're facing a criminal investigation...
