The ‘Geneva Accord’, negotiated earlier this month by informal ‘non-representatives’, would formally end the Palestinian claim to land lost to Israeli soldiers and settlers alike, and would renounce all right of return for exiles from previous wars. Who gave these suited politicians the right to contradict international law and basic human rights, by agreeing that Palestine people should give up their homes to invaders?

A solemn message was delivered on behalf of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in Seville, Spain. “Suicide bombings are immoral. They are counter-productive. They must be stopped,” he said. Annan’s seemingly upright observations however, underscored a profound, even a formidable presentation of a political and intellectual trend, essential for Israel to sustain its genocidal war against the Palestinians.

As the Oslo Accords’ promise of a Palestinian state alongside a Jewish Israel suffocates underneath the sheer weight of demolished houses, separation barriers, illegal Israeli settlements, and murdered civilians from both sides, veteran Jordanian diplomat, Hasan Abu Nimah suggests that the only thing left is the possibility of a single state with democracy for all.

Do you try to promote peace in your “little corner of the world”? Do you consider yourself to be an anti-war activist? If your answer to these questions is “yes”, you like many others, may be feeling discouraged during these dark times on earth.

As the al-Aqsa Intifada in Palestine enters its fourth year, one cannot but note the epic sacrifices that the Palestinian people have made over a period of 36 months, during which they were subjected to mass murder, assassination, torture, arrest, detention, house demolitions, curfews, daily humiliation at check points and the brutal practices of an Israeli occupation that is both funded and supported by the world?s sole superpower.

In seeking to solve disputes using arbitration of a third party, one has to be sure that such a third party is utterly neutral to the disputants, and that the arbitrator would genuinely employ justice, fairness and international legality in reaching the proper judgment on these issues. Can anyone nominate the USA as an honest arbitrator in helping to solve the Palestinian-Israeli problem?

In an unprecedented event, a thousand French Jews have urged to have Israeli Premiere Ariel Sharon prosecuted for his “criminal policies” against Palestinians, and supported the notion of a Palestinian state with occupied east Jerusalem as its capital.

A powerful bomb exploded beside a bullet-proof USA Embassy car Wednesday, killing three suspected CIA agents. Local militias unusually fail to accept responsibility.

Tony Blair wants to be a world leader, a statesman. Fine. Right now would be a good time to start. Instead of whispering from the sidelines, let the UK Government?s voice be heard loud and clear in Washington and Tel Aviv. Let Tony Blair properly represent decent and common-sense opinion here and across the world by telling his buddy in arms, George Bush, to stop supporting Israel?s policies against its Arab neighbours.
