Wed Jul 5, 2006 JERUSALEM - Palestinian gunmen who seized an Israeli soldier have holed up with him in an underground bunker somewhere in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Quoting Arab mediators, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily said Corporal Gilad Shalit and 7 militants were living off food hoarded in advance to spare the captors the risk of emerging. |

Special to The Daily Star Tuesday, July 04, 2006 BEIRUT: The US House of Representatives Democratic Assistance Committee arrived in Lebanon Monday with the intention of "exchanging expertise" with Lebanese lawmakers, but the visit merely highlighted the US delegation's unwillingness to waiver from the official agenda to answer specific questions on the Lebanese case.
Committee chairman David Drier pointedly ignored repeated questions from reporters about the recently uncovered Mossad-linked terrorist group while speaking to the press after talks with Speaker Nabih Berri. |

05/07/2006 Britain's largest Muslim TV channel, Islam channel, hosts debate titled 'Zionism: The cancer at the heart of international affairs,' hosted by former BBC correspondent Alan Hart
Britain's largest Muslim TV channel, the Islam channel, last week hosted a debate on anti-Semitism and Zionism, with discussion centering on the idea that informed and honest debate on the Middle East is rendered impossible because critics are immediately accused of anti-Semitism. The debate, "Zionism: The cancer at the heart of international affairs," was filmed by the London-based Islamic TV station. Alan Hart, a former ITN and BBC correspondent, chaired the debate. He said that "the anti-Semitism card is something the Zionists have exploited to suppress debate." Hart, author of the recently published "Zionism: The real enemy of the Jews," blamed the mainstream media for complicity in the suppression of truth of history, out of fear of offending Jews and thanked Mohammed Ali, the CEO of Islam Channel for his "courage" in widening the debate. Expanding the debate, Hart added that the assumption is that "Zionism and Judaism are the same thing, therefore criticism of Zionism is anti-Semitism but Zionism is the nationalism for some Jews, a tiny minority." "The propaganda they use, the Melanie Phillips version (a Jewish journalist for the British newspaper The Daily Mail), is that Israel faces annihilation and fears being pushed into the sea," Hart said, which he added was an unfounded myth. |
