Associated Press Wed Sep 20, 2006 NEW YORK - President Bush tried to boost Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday as "a man of peace" who can help advance Mideast talks that have been stalled with militant Hamas leaders controlling the Palestinian parliament.
Abbas told Bush, "We are in dire need of your help and support." He assured Bush that Palestinians want peace, despite the election of Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction and has rebuffed international demands to recognize Israel and renounce violence. "The Palestinian people desire peace, and there is no power on Earth that can prevent the Palestinian people from moving toward the peaceful solution and living and coexisting in peace," he said. Comment:
"The Palestinian people desire peace, and there is no power on Earth that can prevent the Palestinian people from moving toward the peaceful solution and living and coexisting in peace," he said.Yeah, no power except for Zionist-led Israel with several billion dollars worth of US military hardware and unquestioning US support in the UN... |

19/09/2006 Allen, a Republican seeking re-election in a close race, denounced the reporter's question as "reprehensible" and irrelevant and said he only recently learned that his maternal grandfather was Jewish.
"Whenever we would ask my mother through the years about our family background on her side, the answer always was, 'Who cares about that?'" Allen wrote in the statement. During a debate Monday with Democrat Jim Webb, Allen was indignant when a panelist asked him whether his forebears included Jews. An audience of about 600 business executives booed and hissed at the question from Peggy Fox of WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C. Comment: Imagine if the question had been "Do you have any Irish ancestors?" Would there have been a peep from the audience? Of course not. So why does the audience instinctively "boo" when a US politican is asked if he has Jewish ancestors? What programming has been accomplished to facilitate this? Clearly there is a very strong Israeli lobby in the US that has been shown to exert a direct influence on American policies, so why is this very serious matter taboo? Or more to the point, HOW has it become taboo? The very same influence of the Israeli lobby?

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday he is surprised American politicians "are so sensitive and biased with regards to Israel," and he again expressed doubt that the Holocaust is a historically established fact.
Though Israel bombed Lebanon, "it doesn't seem to have created concern among American politicians. But when somebody questions or criticizes the Zionist regime, there is so much reaction," Ahmadinejad said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Given the massacres committed by Israel ... should they not be subject to criticism? Should nobody complain?" |

A large majority of French Muslims support sexual equality, free choice in religion and the separation of church and state, flying in the face of some Western cliches on Islam, a new poll reveals.
Of the Muslims questioned, 91 percent said they supported male-female equality, while 69 percent would accept a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim, according to the CSA poll to be published Thursday by the Roman Catholic weekly La Vie. |
