During the question and answer session, I noted Dershowitz’s hostile reaction to the courageous actions of Israeli Air Force (IAF) dissenters and his scrambling to meet with Israeli government officials. According to a Nov. 18, 2003 article in the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronoth, after a group of reserve pilots in the IAF declared in a public letter their refusal to participate in future political liquidations, Dershowitz objected to the pilots’ letter and was heading for Israel to persuade Israeli pilots of the legality and morality of the targeted killing operations. In addition, seeking to meet...
...Bank. Instead, reports from Israel suggest the construction of the fence is snaking deep inside the West Bank, folding in many Israeli settlements and separating Palestinian villages from their fields.

This must be an ominous sign to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who watch settlements and the infrastructure that supports them encroach upon and divide the rolling hills they have known all of their lives...
...bombings brought a bloody end to Israel?s peace talks with Syria, Benjamin Netanyahu says he's ready to resume talks with Syrian President Hafez Assad. Although Netanyahu said he would not set preconditions for talks, preconditions for peace appear still on the table. According to the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot, Netanyahu told both President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in meetings Thursday that "you must make it clear to Assad that he must think of other options -- the option of a total withdrawal from the Golan does not exist from our point of view."
