...realism behind Olmert's change of heart is of tremendous import, summed up by one sentence: "The international community is starting to view Israel as a future binational state." In other words, forget about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats to wipe Israel off the map. Echoing views he initially expressed in 2003, Olmert reasons that without an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, the Jewish state faces the self-inflicted, mortal danger of being destroyed by demographics, overwhelmed by Muslim and Christian Arabs demanding political representation. Olmert fears that the international community could ultimately favor a one-state solution...
What did you think of your puppet in Team America: World Police? -Mahmoud Salem, CairoI thought Team America was so funny. Kim Jong Il would say, "You are usewess to me, Awec Bawdwin." And I'd go to school with my daughter, and her classmates would say that as I walked by. I hear these little kids go, "You are usewess to me, Awec Bawdwin."

Iran is buzzing with speculation that he will mount a challenge to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in next year's elections. The hard-line incumbent looks vulnerable because of domestic woes, including high inflation and unemployment, and an international environment in which Iran's relations with the West are at their most strained since the 1979 revolution. Qalibaf won't be the only challenger - others may include Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani, a former national security chief, and ex-Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel - but Qalibaf, a conservative...
...deadliest intra-Palestinian violence in nine months, 11 people were killed in the Gaza Strip on Aug. 2. Eight of them were members of the Hilles clan, a large family of Gazans who found themselves in a three-way crossfire among the Islamist group Hamas, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah and Israel. The Hilles clan was blamed for a late-July bombing that left five Hamas members and one child dead. Hamas retaliated, and in the ensuing violence, more than 180 people--many of them clan members--fled over the border into Israel, where they received brief asylum. They were...
