truthtellers.org 07/11/2006 Avigdor Lieberman is an infamous racist who publicly promotes ethnic cleansing in Israel. On October 30, he was appointed Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister. Lieberman's new job puts him in charge of policy toward Iran. (1) It also gives him top-level power to help define Israel in the coming years.
"It's not only an issue of territory and borders," Lieberman reflected recently, "but of the character of the state - will it be a Zionist state, a Jewish state, or a state like others? I want it to be a Jewish state." (2) American Jews and evangelical Christians who see Israel as a democracy rather than a racist, religious state should realize Lieberman's view is anything but fringe. A September poll showed his popularity in Israel. He is the second choice, behind Benjamin Netanyahu, to be the next prime minister of Israel. (3) |

PARIS (Reuters) - French peacekeeping troops in Lebanon recently came within two seconds of firing missiles at Israeli fighter jets that approached as if to attack them, French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said.
Speaking to the lower house of parliament on Wednesday night, she said this was the latest in a string of incidents in which Israeli warplanes had "adopted a hostile attitude" to French and German forces and said it was "not tolerable." |

BEIT HANUN, Gaza Strip (AFP) - Eighteen Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed when Israeli shells slammed into their Gaza homes in an attack that drew worldwide condemnation and vows of renewed suicide bombings.
The deaths prompted moderate Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas to accuse Israel of destroying peace hopes and rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to call for renewed suicide attacks. |

09/11/2006 Tens of thousands of Palestinians gathered at a mass funeral in Gaza on Thursday as the bodies of 18 civilians killed by Israeli shelling were buried to the accompaniment of gunfire and vows of revenge.
The bodies, including seven children and four women, were each wrapped in a yellow flag, the symbol of the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and born aloft on stretchers among a vast crowd of tearful and angry mourners. While the European Union said it was "appalled" by the Gaza shelling, an initial response by the United States stopped short of reprimanding Israel, whose Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is due to meet President George W. Bush in Washington on Monday. |

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday that it has become normal for Israel to defy the United Nations as he condemned Israel for a military attack on a Palestinian neighborhood that killed 18 people.
"This morning Israel again, against UN resolutions, began bombing Gaza ... sleeping children and their mothers perished," Chavez said at a news conference with foreign journalists. (AP) |

03/11/2006 I remember sitting with Richard Perle in his suite at London's Grosvenor House hotel and receiving a private lecture on the importance of securing victory in Iraq. "Iraq is a very good candidate for democratic reform," he said. "It won't be Westminster overnight, but the great democracies of the world didn't achieve the full, rich structure of democratic governance overnight. The Iraqis have a decent chance of succeeding." Perle seemed to exude the scent of liberation, as well as a whiff of gunpowder. It was February 2003, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the culmination of his long campaign on behalf of regime change in Iraq, was less than a month away.
