He was running a crushed-ice stall in the countryside and had certificates of baptism to prove his status as a born-again Christian. The man who oversaw the execution of at least 16,000 of his countrymen had papers from American churches testifying to his "personal leadership" and "team-building" skills...

Previous redeployments have prompted Palestinian militants to shoot at settlers and have spurred the settlers to expand their settlements. Barak knows he?ll have to dismantle some...
...nightmare for the company. The Arab League announced Monday that it would consider supporting a boycott of the burger chain declared by an organization called American Muslims for Jerusalem in response to the new franchise. The reason? Maale Adumim is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank whose status remains to be settled in talks with the Palestinians, and the boycotters insist that Burger King follow the example of McDonalds, which has kept its golden arches planted firmly within Israel?s pre-1967 borders...
