Repetition of the facts may be tedious, but it is important to note them: Even on the 33rd day of Operation Change of Direction in Lebanon, there has been no change of direction. On the eve of the cease-fire, as the "Israeli" Army are advancing toward the Litani River, the Katyushas continued to rain on the Galilee. More than 250 rockets, one dead and scores injured.
In other words, on the ..

Gulf News reported a claim by Dr Al Saqqa, Head of the Emergency Unit of El Shifa Hospital, Gaza on 7-07-06 that the "Israeli" Occupation Force was using a new ’chemical’ weapon. He has worked at El Shifa for ten years. He had noted that two hundred and more casualties of Summer Rain (sic) had unusual wounds. These numbers included about fifty children. Later evidence from Dr Al Saqqa described..

When my electricity returned at around 3am yesterday, I turned on the BBC World Service television. There were a series of powerful explosions which shook the house - just as they vibrated across all of Beirut - as the latest Israeli air raids blasted over the city. And then up came the World Service headline: "Terror Plot". Terror what, I asked myself? And there was my favourite cop, Paul Step..

Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, was obliged to admit "shortcomings" in the 34-day-old conflict in Lebanon yesterday as he launched what may prove a protracted fight for his own political survival.
Mr. Olmert’s admission in a stormy Knesset session came in the face of devastating poll figures showing a majority of the Israeli public believes none or only a very small part of the goa..

Israeli newspapers considered designating Israeli deputy chief of staff, Brigadier General Kaplinsky to represent the Chief of Staff in the northern command as the first shot in the expected battle inside Israeli army’s High Command.
The newspapers added that the status quo inside the army’s High Command is fed-up and needs creative ideas so that all avoid smashing their dish of eggs, expres..

After the UN-brokered ceasefire solidified, the Lebanese Islamists announced that they will be a partner in reconstruction operations.

 Voices amongst IOF senior and junior officers demanding the immediate resignation of IOF chief of staff Dan Halutz mounted noticeably in the recent days after the disgraceful defeat of the IOF troops at the hands of Hizbullah fighters in southern Lebanon.

The defeat opened the door wide-open before the profound internal crisis in Israel, particularly in the military institution as..

Hezbollah’s irregular fighters stood off the modern Israeli army for a month in the hills of southern Lebanon thanks to extraordinary zeal and secrecy, rigorous training, tight controls over the population, and a steady flow of Iranian money to acquire effective weaponry, according to informed assessments in Lebanon and Israel.
"They are the best guerrilla force in the world," said a Lebanes..

The war against Hizbullah has levelled the political landscape of "Israel" almost as completely as it has the physical landscape of southern Lebanon. It has severely damaged, probably beyond repair, the consensus which has shaped the middle ground of Israeli politics since the failure of the Oslo peace process. That consensus, as developed by Ariel Sharon and offered in full-blown form as "real..

For weeks, the Bush administration resisted international pressure for a cease-fire between "Israel" and Hizbullah, insisting that only disarming the terrorist organization would cure a "root cause" of hostility and prevent yet another failed peace agreement.
But the truce that took effect yesterday - coming without the destruction of Hizbullah’s military threat and an unclear path to its di..

As stunned Lebanese returned Tuesday over broken roads to shattered apartments in the south, it increasingly seemed that the beneficiary of the destruction was most likely to be Hizbullah.
A major reason - in addition to its hard-won reputation as the only Arab force that fought "Israel" to a standstill - is that it is already dominating the efforts to rebuild with a torrent of money.

 While its fighters battle "Israeli" forces in the hills of southern Lebanon, Hizbullah’s relief workers in the capital are fighting on a different front: in sweltering kitchens, on soccer fields and in makeshift clinics.
Known in the West mostly for suicide bombings and kidnappings, Hizbullah has emerged as the largest relief provider in war-ravaged Lebanon. Its efforts dwarf those of ..

Emerging critique from pro-Israel analysts hits administration for helping Islamists to power via elections.  

 President Bush, in the view of many Jews, is the most pro-Israel president ever, and the reasons why are not hard to grasp.

Bush is, after all, the president who allowed Israel free rein to imprison and isolate the late Palestinian leader Yasir A..
