Is there any hope?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

We’ve been here before, of course. We’ve been here so many times I’ve lost count. Most of what needs to be said about the upcoming Israeli-Palestinian peace talks was expressed in a poem written nearly sixty years ago by the late, truly great Yehuda Amichai.

In The U.N. Headquarters Headquarters in the High Commissioner’s House […]

NY Times perpetuates myth that American Jews are single-issue voters

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

More and more Jewish voters are deserting the Democratic party, according to a Pew Research Center poll. The survey shows that 33% of American Jewish voters now identify or lean Republican, up from 20% in 2008.

That’s interesting and troubling to a died-in-the-wool Democrat like me. But Charles M. Blow’s take on the poll in […]

Order Propecia

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Order propecia, Troll around the Web and you will find many, distinctly different ways of looking at Bibi Netanyahu's recent announcement of a ten-month settlement freeze. Here are four that interest me:

1) IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, Acquistare online propecia, GREATER ISRAEL FANS. Netanyahu has been telling the right wing that the freeze is only temporary and that construction will resume after 10 months, it has been widely reported, Hawaii HI . But one story from Yediot Aharonot indicates he also used another argument to pacify the settlers: "Netanyahu was also quoted as saying that `the Americans drove me crazy, South Carolina SC S.C. , they wanted (a freeze) in Jerusalem as well.'"

2) IT WILL ACTUALLY HELP THE SETTLEMENT MOVEMENT. Ohio OH , According to another report in Yediot by Itamar Eichner (available in translation from Israel News Today, but not accessible on-line):

Netanyahi said in his speech yesterday that the security cabinet decision...would be beneficial for the settlement enterprise. During the...Olmert government, he said, there was a freeze in practice, order propecia. Since the Netanyahu government was formed eight months ago, order propecia online without prescription, this has continued and, Comprar propecia baratos, all in all, construction in Judea and Samaria has been frozen. The new freeze is limited to only another 10 months, Osta propecia, after which construction will begin again. Rhode Island RI R.I. , In other words..., the decision is good for the settlers because it sets an end date to the freeze, in contrast to the situation that was in place, Tennessee TN Tenn. , in practice, Kjøpe billig propecia, of a freeze that was unlimited in time."

3) IT WILL BE EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE. says Talia Sasson, in an interview with Ori Nir of Americans for Peace Now:

Enforcing the moratorium on settlement construction, South Dakota SD , Sasson points out, Order propecia c.o.d., requires a documenting effort, an ongoing monitoring effort, a security effort (protecting the government inspectors who will fan out in the West Bank to enforce the new orders), order propecia, a judicial effort (preparing and pursuing indictments against violators), Nebraska NE Nebr. , as well as a political effort. Order propecia, Prime Minister Netanyahu will have to confront the settler leaders, many of whom are members of his Likud party.

Listening to the full interview, I got the sinking feeling that it won't just be difficult; it may well be impossible, kopen goedkope propecia. The settlers are already mounting a petty resistance campaign, Propecia without prescription, and while the army under Ehud Barak may win major battles, the odds are they will probably lose this war. The only way to change this circumstance is for Bibi to show more courage than any Israeli Prime Minister since Yitzhak Rabin, order propecia online. It is just as likely that I will be the shortstop for the Boston Red Sox.

4) ON THE OTHER HAND, MAYBE THIS TIME, THE AMERICANS WON'T BACK DOWN, order propecia. Cheap propecia online legally, The usually perceptive Shimon Sheffer opines:

Let’s assume that in 10 months the international community is still unable to curb Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities. Order propecia overnight delivery, Israel’s need for US assistance in thwarting the “existential danger” vis-à-vis Iran, as Netanyahu refers to it, will be even greater, propecia no prescription. Is it even thinkable that the Obama Administration will then allow Israel to resume construction in the territories. Propecia pedido en línea, Does anyone think that Netanyahu will dare resist the American demand to continue the freeze.

...The question that remains is whether Netanyahu will decide to clash with the Americans...

I estimate that he will persist with his attempts to maneuver among the various bad options, propecia over the counter, his rightist voters will continue to slam him, Propecia generic, and the Americans will hint that if he resumes construction they will allow the Europeans to pass Security Council resolutions that in essence recognize a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

In other words, the only hope is for Obama to demonstrate more courage on this issue since any American president since George Bush pere. But we already knew that, didn't we.

Buy propecia online cheap, It was Palestinian suffering that got me engaged with Israel and concerned about its future. φτηνές φαρμακείο propecia, I had attended Habonim camp and had grown up in an ardently Labor Zionist household. But when I was in my twenties, cheap propecia online cheap, Where to buy cheap propecia, I didn’t have much to do with Israel until the massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon, in the Fall of 1982, cheapest propecia in the world. Cheap propecia without prescription, Initially, I was appalled by Israeli officials' denial of any responsibility, North Dakota ND . Maryland MD Md. , But my fury turned into something more constructive when I learned about a massive Peace Now rally, where hundreds of thousands of Israelis demanded that their government investigate the extent of Israel's culpability and fire Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, buy propecia cod.

I began to investigate Peace Now and the Israeli left, to explore the nuances and complexities of The Situation, to participate in debates and conversations about the PLO and territorial compromise, buy propecia online cheap. Om propecia online, I joined a group called Friends of Peace Now (the precursor to Americans for Peace Now). I became committed, acquistare a buon mercato propecia, Kaufen propecia, in a way I had never been before, to the survival of a Jewish democratic state next to a Palestinian state, Osta propecia. Order propecia, No doubt that will be unfortunate news to those who believe nothing about Israel is worth preserving, but it’s the news that's fit to print, propecia online cheap. Propecia online kopen, This journey (described in a bit more detail in my book) was hardly unique. Buy propecia online cheap, Over the years, I’ve seen others arrive at the doorstep of groups like Americans for Peace Now because they were mainly concerned about human rights and social justice. Initially, halvalla propecia apteekki, Kjøp Discount propecia, they didn’t feel many connections to Israel. Eventually, Utah UT , Acquistare online propecia, by aligning themselves with likeminded progressives in the Jewish state, they learned to see the world through the eyes of Israelis as well as Palestinians, propecia generic. Kopen goedkope propecia, And they developed ties to Israel that had not existed before.

J Street did not invent this process, Rhode Island RI R.I. . But it has the potential to encourage it on a large scale, based on what was happening to the college students and recent grads who flocked to its just-completed, already-legendary conference in Washington, buy propecia online cheap. Ordering propecia online, A small number of them were one-state advocates. Some were committed, acheter propecia bon marché, Nevada NV Nev. , left-leaning Zionists. My impression was that many of them were just trying to figure out what to think and how to feel, searching for ways to identify with a Jewish state and society that, to their peers, is a toxic and evil empire.

“I get inspired by the idea of a place where Jews are in the majority,” said a young man during the small-group discussion that followed the first plenary session. Buy propecia online cheap, But he didn’t know whether “it’s possible to do that without oppressing another people.” I asked random young people what they were getting out of the conference. One said she had come because “progressive people” she knew were in the Palestinian solidarity movement and “I just kind of wanted to check out the liberal Jews, see what they were about for myself.”

Jim Besser writes of the “student faction that embarrassed J Street leadership with a debate about minimizing the use of the phrase “pro-Israel” in campus activism.” (By the way, it is not true that “pro-Israel” was deleted from the official description or platform of "J Street University," as was reported in the
Jerusalem Post and then gleefully picked up in the vengeful right wing blogosphere. Here is an official statement that clears this up).

I don’t know if any of these young people will ever pass the “pro-Israel” litmus test that is imposed by the Jewish establishment. But there is a good chance that many of them will begin to swim in the waters of Israeli politics, understand the complexities of The Situation, then find themselves arguing vociferously with both the Israel-right-or-wrong types and the lefties who hate all things Israeli. In other words, they will join or stay involved with the Jewish community, buy propecia online cheap. That is a good thing. I, for one, want this extraordinary, ongoing experiment called the “Jewish people” to succeed.

In a post decrying the aforementioned, false report about J Street University, Michael Goldfarb wrote the following, astonishing sentence: “J Street is a left-wing group that supports social justice in occupied Palestine and a bunch of other dopey progressive ideas about the Middle East.” It is those "dopey" ideas that have a chance to salvage an entire generation of Jews, as long as J Street and its fellow travellers continue the kind of inclusive community-building that began at its conference.

Propecia Over The Counter

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Propecia over the counter, As it prepares for its first national conference this weekend, J Street, the political arm of pro-peace, pro-Israel American Jews, is being assailed by those who don’t want it to take positions independent of the Israeli government. Order propecia, Chuck Freilich, a former Israeli National Security advisor, buy propecia c.o.d., Florida FL Fla. , castigates the J Streeters' “presumptuousness” and claims they think they “know better what is right for Israel" than the Israelis. Haaretz columnist Anshell Pffefer sums up the attitude of Israeli government officials towards J Street: “What do these limp-wristed shtetl Jews who have never held an M-16 know about running a country?”

These complaints are a variation of the message American Jews have been hearing from Israelis and some American supporters for decades: unless we serve in the Israeli army or vote in its elections, Oklahoma OK Okla. , Propecia farmacia a buon mercato, we have no right to criticize Israel in public. But those who bring out that old chestnut now are discounting or ignoring an inconvenient truth: J Street’s supporters –myself included- are American citizens who back American policies that we believe are in our own country’s interests, Arizona AZ Ariz. , Um propecia online, as well as the interests of Israelis, Palestinians and the rest of the world, ordering propecia from canada. Iowa IA , Like other J Streeters, I think the Obama administration is helping America and Israel when it tries to stop actions that, order propecia pills, Propecia online stores, if left unchecked, will preclude a two-state solution, buy propecia overnight delivery, Köpa rabatterade propecia, including Israeli settlement expansion and Palestinian violence and incitement.

As long as Israel and America are seen in much of the Muslim world as steadfast allies in a war between civilizations, what Israel does in the occupied territories is my problem, too, propecia over the counter. The Israel-Palestinian conflict fuels global instability and extremism and provides a valuable mobilizing tool for terrorist groups that would just as soon attack the New York City subway system as Sderot, propecia kopen. Rabatt kaufen propecia, Yet Israelis and others who want J Streeters to shut up choose not to remember that Middle East peace is an urgent American prority. In June, Minnesota MN Minn. , Propecia en ligne afin, I published a column expressing the pain many people in my camp will feel if there is a confrontation between Israel and the U.S. It also affirmed the need to give Obama the political leeway to lean on both sides of the conflict rather than just one side, För propecia online. Propecia over the counter, In response, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach chastized people like me in Huffington Post by calling us, astonishingly, “sunshine Jewish patriots,” as if we were traitorous Palmach soldiers in 1948, instead of modern American citizens. Kjøpe propecia online, Father Coughlin and Henry Ford would have appreciated that image.

Rabbi, billige propecia apotek, Pennsylvania PA Penn. , I weigh in on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict not just because I have a life-long concern for Israel, but also because I am concerned about America's security and well-being, comprare propecia. Propecia over the counter, There is no contradiction between the two priorities.

I am stepping into tricky rhetorical territory here, buy propecia online, Maine ME Me. , dredging up the sensitive question of where American Jews put their loyalties. That is a subject which Jews in the U.S, propecia over the counter. tend to be afraid of broaching in public. They shouldn't be. American Jews' relationship with Israel and the role of U.S. interests in that relationship are easy to explain and justify, although the truth is often obscured by the scurrilous accusation from white supremacists and paleoconservatives that we are a bunch of fifth columnists. Propecia over the counter, Jews in America want to protect America, and care about the safety of our families and neighbors and fellow citizens. Many of us also worry about Israel’s safety. The fact that we have multiple affinities and identities does not mean we put the interests of a foreign power above the interests of our own country. We do not. Of course there are occasional, isolated and deplorable exceptions like Jonathan Pollard, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule.

The President's stance against more settlements is well within the boundaries of mainstream Israeli thinking, even though the current, center right government doesn’t have much use for it, propecia over the counter. But even if it were a radical idea in Israel, no Israeli would have the right to rebuke me for advocating policies for my own government.

Israelis and their supporters should feel free to tell J Street that Obama’s approach is wrong. But they should stifle the impulse to tell us, American citizens, that we should never support a U.S. administration that disagrees with Israel.

Diazepam Over The Counter

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Diazepam over the counter, What follows is a column by Thomas Mitchell, lightly edited. Buy diazepam without prescription, We often read and hear comparisons between Israel and South Africa under apartheid. Mitchell finds lessons to be learned from South Africa, diazepam online, αγοράζουν φτηνά diazepam, but not the most familiar ones. Instead, Acheter en ligne diazepam, Delaware DE Del. , he focuses on diplomatic efforts to end South Africa's occupation of Namibia and its confrontation with the Cubans in Angola.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE MIDDLE EAST NEEDS A "GRAND BARGAIN"
By Thomas Mitchell

Obama is facing a number of policy challenges in the Middle East and the rest of South Asia, Kaufen diazepam. He appears to be losing the war at the moment in Afghanistan, with his general saying he needs more troops and most Americans having turned against the war, diazepam over the counter. Kentucky KY Ky. , Iraq is relatively peaceful right now, but no one knows how long that will last before the various factions start stirring up trouble again.The United States has just caught Tehran telling lies about its nuclear effort for the third time in a decade, order diazepam pills. Order diazepam without prescription, Netanyahu has refused to implement a housing freeze on the West Bank and the Hilltop Youth are continuing to settle illegally in terms of Israeli law, not to mention international law, purchase diazepam. αγοράζουν online diazepam, Meanwhile Mahmoud Abbas has declared that he will not even negotiate with Israel until it implements the freeze that Obama demanded. Partisans of Israel denounce Obama for calling for the freeze in the first place and the Arabs demand sterner medicine, Michigan MI Mich. . Diazepam over the counter, In a similarly complex world, from the seventeenth century to the Potsdam Conference at the end of World War II, the Great Powers conducted business among themselves the way senators and congressmen sometimes conduct business in Congress. Comprare diazepam, Issues were tied together and a party that made a concession in one area was compensated in another. This was the concept of “the grand bargain.” This way no one was a complete loser nor a complete winner and everyone was relatively content, South Dakota SD . North Carolina NC N.C. , U.S. diplomats should be familiar with the notion of the "grand bargain." When it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, buy diazepam online cheap, New York NY N.Y. , Senator George Mitchell --Obama’s point man in the region-- might want to consult with Chester Crocker, Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, diazepam for sale, Diazepam discount, about what to do. Crocker faced a similar situation in Southern Africa and Namibia, diazepam over the counter.

In 1968, where to buy cheap diazepam, Massachusetts MA Mass. , the UN had revoked Pretoria’s League of Nations mandate for Namibia/South West Africa because apartheid was considered to be incompatible with the trusteeship system. The Africans were all demanding that Pretoria end the occupation of Namibia and stay out of Angola, acheter diazepam bon marché. Cheap diazepam no rx, American conservatives wanted Reagan to back Pretoria against the Cubans and Soviets in Angola. And the European powers were kibbitzing from the sidelines, ordering diazepam overnight delivery. Diazepam over the counter, In 1977, a Contact Group of five Western powers had been formed to negotiate with Pretoria over Namibia on behalf of the West. Texas TX Tex. , Crocker, a specialist on South Africa, decided that it would be better to accommodate Pretoria’s security needs and negotiate a mutual withdrawal of Cubans from Angola and South Africans from Namibia. He had to first convince his fellow Western powers and then the Africans that this was the best way to get Pretoria out. And he had to convince Pretoria that it was better off trying to seek a diplomatic solution than a military one.

It took Crocker from 1981 to December 1988 before a deal was finally signed in Brazzaville, Congo. It took so long because Havana and Pretoria had to exhaust each other fighting for control over Angola, and because the anti-South African sanctions campaign in 1985-86 complicated the diplomacy, diazepam over the counter. From 1984 to 1988 South Africa was engulfed in internal unrest directed against apartheid. Pretoria was reluctant to appear weak in Angola and Namibia while it faced unrest at home. Crocker shuttled back and forth across Africa until he finally got the South Africans into direct negotiations with the Cubans in 1988. Major fighting in the summer of 1987 had cost both sides dearly and both were wary of escalating. Diazepam over the counter, If Mitchell and Clinton can together fashion a similar “grand bargain” involving Israel, Syria, the Palestinians, and Iran they might be able to achieve what they could not by dealing with the issues separately.

Tehran seeks both security for its regime and influence in the Arab Middle East. To the latter end, it is backing Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine. Israel’s occupation of the West Bank vis a vis the international community is similar to Pretoria’s occupation of Namibia. Both occurred as the result of defensive wars but the readiness of the world to tolerate a decades-old occupation has soured. If Washington can deliver a deal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that satisfied the Arab powers they might convince Tehran to give up its nuclear program and support for Hezbollah and Hamas, diazepam over the counter. If Tehran turns down a generous deal, it will be that much easier to implement international economic sanctions against the regime. A deal that ended the Iranian nuclear threat would give Netanyahu political cover to make major concessions to the Palestinians. Abbas would feel much more secure about making concessions on the right of return if Iranian aid was cut off to his Islamist opponents. The big challenge for Mitchell and Clinton is to find out what would induce Tehran to make a deal. This might require tightening the initial sanctions against Iran by the West. The internal unrest in Iran caused by a stolen election complicates diplomacy as did the unrest in South Africa in the 1980s.

This is why Mitchell should read Crocker’s memoir, High Noon in Southern Africa.

Buy Diazepam Cod

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Buy diazepam cod, Much of the media are dismissing today's Obama-Netanyahu-Abbas summit as an abject failure. Cheap diazepam tablets, Check out the Guardian, which uses the word "failure" no less than three times in its chronicle of the UN meetings, buy diazepam, Washington WA Wash. , along with "meager results," "inauspicious start" and other formulations to characterize negotiations that supposedly yielded nothing, diazepam kopen. Osta diazepam online, I haven't come across the "F-word" and its synonyms this often since the early 1980s, when, αγοράσετε diazepam έκπτωση, Halvalla diazepam apteekki, as a Red Sox fan, I would read Boston sportswriters flaying my promising but famously unsuccessful team without mercy, buy diazepam no prescription. Ordering diazepam online cheap, Late today, at a press briefing by George Mitchell, South Carolina SC S.C. , Order diazepam online legally, a reporter from al-Hayat used the predictable "F-word" and asked Obama's Middle East envoy if the administration was going to take a new approach.

Mitchell's response offers food for thought, ordering diazepam online without prescription. He's been in the trenches of complex conflict management, unlike virtually all of the people who are criticizing him and the President, buy diazepam cod. Iowa IA , He's done this before. So it is worth listening carefully to his positive spin and retaining at least a small measure of hope:

In Northern Ireland, Nevada NV Nev. , Diazepam online kopen, I chaired three separate sets of negotiations over a period of five years. The circumstances there are so different from those in the Middle East that I am always hesitant to draw lessons from one for the other, cheapest diazepam in the world. Minnesota MN Minn. , And I do not do so now except to address directly the point that you made. Buy diazepam cod, The main negotiations lasted nearly two years. And for every day of those two years in which there was public activity – and that was on most days – a reporter like you politely branded me a failure....and said that we had failed, köpa rabatterade diazepam. Order diazepam online, In a technical sense, if your objective is to get a peace agreement, farmacia diazepam baratos, Cheap diazepam without prescription, until the moment you get it, you have failed, billig kaufen diazepam. Order diazepam no rx, So the reporters were technically correct. But in reality, New Jersey NJ N.J. , Acquistare online diazepam, we had patience, we had determination, and we had the fortitude that grows from knowing you are doing the right thing....

So yes, we haven’t gotten everything we wanted, we haven’t gotten it as fast as we want it, buy diazepam cod. But in conflict resolution, if one adopts the standard that one must always get 100 percent of what one seeks at every stage of the process, [then] otherwise you’re failure, well, then of course, there would never ever be a resolution of any conflict. Painful compromises are necessary for everybody. So we are determined to proceed. We will not be deterred by – I don’t want to say accusations, but criticisms, by descriptions of failure. We believe that we are doing the right thing. We believe we have made substantial progress and we intend to continue with full determination until there is comprehensive peace in the region.

Buy Diazepam No Prescription

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Buy diazepam no prescription, American Jews like me who argue against the one-state solution are constantly confronted by those who claim a moral high ground and cite the small but growing number of Palestinian intellectuals who have given up on two states. They spend much of their time showing why the two-state solution is no longer feasible while spending precious little time explaining how in the world one state could possibly arise, or what they have to offer Palestinians who need an end to the occupation as soon as possible. It was refreshing to read the following, Køb discount diazepam, devastating critique by Hussein Ibish of the American Task Force on Palestine, another passionate Palestinian moderate. Diazepam for sale, I will quote from it in full:

On college campuses in the United States and the United Kingdom, and increasingly among grassroots activists in the West generally, the cause of ending the Israeli occupation and securing independence for a Palestinian state is being abandoned in favor of a much more far-reaching goal of replacing Israel with a single, democratic state for all Israelis and Palestinians, Rabatt kaufen diazepam, including all of the refugees. Until now, Order diazepam no prescription, this rhetoric has been largely unchallenged from a pro-Palestinian perspective, which has probably been a significant factor in its appeal.

My new book, “What’s Wrong with the One-State Agenda?”, traces the development of this agenda and interrogates its assumptions and claims, buy diazepam no prescription.

The outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000, which inflicted profound suffering and created deep ill-will on both the sides of the Palestinian-Israeli divide, buy diazepam cheap, bolstered stridently nationalist perspectives among Israelis and Palestinians. For many, Acheter diazepam discount, it prompted a negative re-evaluation of what kind of peace was possible and desirable.

In Israel, this was manifested in the collapse of the “peace camp,” a radical shift to the political right and the election of Ariel Sharon, Køb billige diazepam, who became prime minister. Among the Palestinians, Minnesota MN Minn. , Islamists, especially Hamas, gained significant ground. Buy diazepam no prescription, In the Palestinian diaspora, where support for Hamas is limited and, especially in the United States, politically untenable and even legally risky, this same disillusionment and radicalization was largely expressed through the rise of the one-state agenda.

More generally, Maryland MD Md. , the one-state agenda reflects the conclusion that Israel will never agree to seriously end the occupation and allow for the creation of a fully sovereign, viable Palestinian state, Farmacia diazepam baratos, therefore that negotiations and diplomacy are pointless. At the end of Part One of my book I pose a series of pointed questions that are not usually addressed to, or have been insufficiently answered by, one-state advocates, kjøpe billig diazepam, and that in many cases their sympathizers have not adequately considered. Here are the six of them:

First, Billige diazepam apotek, if Israel will not agree to end the occupation, what makes anyone think that it will possibly agree to dissolve itself. If Israel cannot be compelled or convinced to surrender 22 percent of the territory it holds, how can it be compelled or convinced to surrender or share 100 percent of it, ordering diazepam no rx.

Second, what, as a practical matter, does this vision of a single, democratic state offer to Jewish Israelis, buy diazepam no prescription.

Third, what efforts have Palestinian and pro-Palestinian one-state advocates made in reaching out to mainstream Jews and Israelis and to incorporating their national narrative into this vision. Purchase diazepam online, Fourth, how do one-state advocates propose to supersede or transcend Palestinian national identity and ambitions. Why is it that no significant Palestinian political party or faction has adopted the one-state goal.

Fifth, diazepam cheap, how, apart from empty slogans about largely nonexistent and highly implausible boycotts, Cheap diazepam from canada, do one-state advocates propose to realize or advance their vision. Buy diazepam no prescription, What practical steps do they imagine and what is their road map for success.

And sixth, since they reject both Palestinian independence and the ongoing agenda of infrastructural and institutional development presently defining the strategy of what they consider the “quisling” Palestinian Authority, what do one-state advocates, Missouri MO Mo. , as a practical matter, offer those living under occupation other than expressions of solidarity and interminable decades of continued struggle and suffering. Oregon OR Ore. , It is striking that the most ardent and tenacious one-state advocates seem to be taking a great deal of their time in even starting to formulate answers to these questions. Assad AbuKhalil, who comments on anything and everything on his blog, has remained strangely silent, köpa diazepam online. Ali Abunimah, who is surely the most ardent and prolific one-state proponent in the United States, Michigan MI Mich. , and who also runs a well-read blog, also appears at a loss for words. Even the overgrown juvenile delinquents at the Kabobfest blog, who have exhibited signs of suffering from a cybersphere version of Tourette’s syndrome, are also strangely passing up what would seem to be a golden opportunity to repeat their usual accusations about “traitors” and “collaborators.”

I have no doubt that sooner or later a response, and hopefully a calm and thoughtful one, will be forthcoming from some of the committed one-state advocates, buy diazepam no prescription. But the amount of time it is taking for them to offer any sort of answer to these extremely relevant questions suggests, perhaps, osta alennus diazepam, that they are proving difficult to formulate and quite possibly were not anticipated.

But there surely must be a considerable burden of proof on those proposing that the Palestinian national movement abandon its long-standing goal of ending the occupation, Georgia GA Ga. , which is based on a huge body of international law and reflects a regional and international consensus, in favor of a grand experiment in almost entirely uncharted waters that poses significant risks and offers uncertain benefits. One-state proponents have an obligation to explain how exactly they think they can achieve the extraordinary task of compelling or convincing Israel to effectively dissolve itself.

Unless it offers answers to simple, Illinois IL Ill. , clear and obvious questions such as these, the one-state rhetoric will be an agenda for accomplishing very little if anything. Buy diazepam no prescription, Rather it will merely be a convenient vehicle for rejecting any and all things Israeli and adopting a position of uncompromising confrontation. Buy diazepam cod, This is not an abstract intellectual exercise. Those seeking to liberate the Palestinian people cannot allow themselves to be beguiled by the narcissistic thrill of “winning” an academic debate on campuses while contributing nothing, even doing harm, to the causes of peace and Palestine, Washington WA Wash. .

Hussein Ibish is a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine in Washington DC. His book is available for free download or purchase on the website of the American Task Force on Palestine (americantaskforce.org). He wrote this commentary for THE DAILY STAR.

Buy Soma Without Prescription
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Buy soma without prescription, If we are to believe the rhetoric of some in the Israel-can-do-no-right crowd, the discrimination faced by Israeli Arabs proves that the majority-Jewish state is already comparable to South Africa under apartheid, and a 2-state solution will only make the situation permanent. In Israel and the territories, För soma online, though, there are Jews and Arabs who can't afford to just sit around condemning each other --and each other's narratives-- and have to figure out a way to live together. What follows is a heartening report from the estimable Ken Bob, North Dakota ND , President of Ameinu, Online soma, about the growing cooperation between the Gilboa region in Israel and the West Bank city of Jenin.

Note that the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations was a co-sponsor of the meeting described below, along with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli-Arab Issues, ordering soma online legally, another American Jewish group that includes participants from the mainstream community. αγοράζουν online soma, To some, their involvement means the meeting was inherently evil and the project could not possibly be anything other than a sham meant to hide Israel's ongoing crimes. Qadoura M, buy soma without prescription. Qadoura, cheap soma, Governor of Jenin, Soma pedido en línea, begs to differ. Here is an excerpt from Ken Bob's report:

It is easy to be discouraged and even cynical about the Israeli-Palestinian track these days. As a matter of fact, Osta soma online, on some level you can feel even worse about Jewish-Arab relations within Israel. Washington WA Wash. , With that in mind, it was a welcome break to have the opportunity to meet this week with Danny Atar, the Jewish chairman of the Gilboa Regional Council and his Arab deputy, Nebraska NE Nebr. , Eid Saleem, Buy soma cod, along with the their colleague Qadoura M. Buy soma without prescription, Qadoura, governor of the West Bank Jenin Governorate. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organization sponsored the intimate event, along with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli-Arab Issues, cheap generic soma. To appreciate this story, District of Columbia DC D.C. , one must know that of the Gilboa region's 30,000 residents, 60 percent are Jewish and 40 percent are Arab, soma prescription. The city of Jenin, φτηνές φαρμακείο soma, the urban center of the governorate, has a population of 40,000 and is right across the green line from the Gilboa region, ordering soma.

Setting the stage for the description of their groundbreaking collaboration, Soma without a prescription, Saleem explained that when he was elected to the regional council in mid-90s, he had every intention to split it into separate Jewish and Arab councils like other regions have done. As he tells the story, he spent a long weekend with Atar discussing the matter, with “Danny convincing me to remain one council, saying if we can’t live together in a regional council, how will we live together in a country?”

With this joint motto, they went about attempting to provide economically and culturally for the citizens, creating a sense of one community, buy soma without prescription. Atar acknowledged that “Jewish-Arab relations are complicated and have not reached a successful path in the state” and there is much work to be done, köpa soma online. Saleem actually opened his comments with Theodore Herzl’s famous “Im Tirtzu – If you will it, παραγγείλετε online soma, it is no dream,” signaling that he truly believes in the co-existence approach. For example, order soma overnight delivery, the region has instituted an annual Bible-Koran quiz where Jewish and Arab students form teams and compete against each other. Virginia VA Va. , It has been so successful that it has spread to other areas in Israel as well. Buy soma without prescription, Their recent Coexistence Festival attracted over 80,000 people included thousands of youth from outside of their region. Saleem suggested that they must be doing something right since they were recently both re-elected for a fourth term.

The speakers focused, soma online cheap, however, Köpa billiga soma, on their joint decision to move the coexistence project across the border and create a bond between the Gilboa region and Jenin, something truly unprecedented since the intifadas.

Qadoura, soma pills, who previously spent 18 months in an Israeli prison, Billiga soma apotek, stated that “no two peoples can exist only meters from each other if one is the occupier and one is occupied, if one has a strong economy and one has a weak economy.” Elaborating, he offered that to create stability in his region, three components are required: personal security, economic development and political progress towards a peace agreement. Atar and Qadoura both attested to the advances made in security in Jenin, once a hotbed of radicalism and street violence. The centerpiece of the economic partnership is a new industrial zone that will provide jobs to thousands of Palestinians and Israelis, buy soma without prescription. It will include olive oil production and an agricultural packing house operation for export to Europe of West Bank produce.

I asked Qadoura, a recognized leader of Fatah, how other West Bank leaders view the Gilboa-Jenin relationship.

He then smiled and said “our neighbors want to see whether the leaders of this initiative have their heads chopped off” before jumping in.

Buy Soma C.o.d.
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Buy soma c.o.d., Realistic Dove has never addressed the controversial BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement. One reason is that I keep taking one step towards it and then three steps back. Ordering soma from canada, It is a broad movement, and some of what some of its supporters advocate has begun to make sense to me. But much too much of it is ill-advised (c'mon on, discount soma, let Leonard Cohen sing in Tel Aviv, Billig kaufen soma, for God's sake, and leave the universities alone!). So I'm still trying to figure out what to think and do about it.., αγοράσετε soma έκπτωση.

Recently, however, the originators of the international BDS movement (the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, or PACBI) put forward a premise that is so disturbing that it is worth singling out even before a broader discussion takes place here, buy soma c.o.d..

On July 20th, Missouri MO Mo. , PACBI published new guidelines that were meant to clarify which Israeli events or institutions should be subject to a boycott. One guideline asserted that the boycott should apply to an event or cultural project that "promotes false symmetry or `balance.'" The explanation:

Cultural events and projects involving Palestinians and/or Arabs and Israelis that promote “balance” between the “two sides” in presenting their respective narratives, as if on par, Tennessee TN Tenn. , or are otherwise based on the false premise that the colonizers and the colonized, αγοράσετε soma, the oppressors and the oppressed, are equally responsible for the “conflict,” are intentionally deceptive, order soma online, intellectually dishonest and morally reprehensible. New Mexico NM N.Mex. , Such events and projects, often seeking to encourage dialogue or “reconciliation between the two sides” without addressing the requirements of justice, promote the normalization of oppression and injustice, acquistare online soma. All such events and projects that bring Palestinians and/or Arabs and Israelis together, Kansas KS Kans. , unless framed within the explicit context of opposition to occupation and other forms of Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, are strong candidates for boycott. Buy soma c.o.d., Other factors that PACBI takes into consideration in evaluating such events and projects are the sources of funding, the design of the program, the objectives of the sponsoring organization(s), the participants, and similar relevant factors.

In other words, they don't like it when Israelis tell their side of their story. They don't want to hear the narrative of the Other and they don't know want other Palestinians to listen to it, Mississippi MS Miss. . They are not only objecting to events or groups whose panels and conversations end up supporting and perpetuating the status quo. Order soma no prescription, They don't want ANY process that fosters reconciliation or understanding between the two sides unless it is part of an explicitly declared effort to end the occupation or protest Israeli policies.

The mind reels. This guideline takes its cue from Stalin, not Mandela, buy soma c.o.d.. Unless I missed something, halvalla soma apteekki, PACBI is agnostic when it comes to a one-state or a two-state solution. Soma ordine on-line, In either case, Israelis and Palestinians will have to learn, somehow, Alaska AK , to live with each other. Kjøp Discount soma, That requires at least some understanding of why people believe what they believe, but this formulation condemns understanding itself. This is, order soma without prescription, to say the least, Oregon OR Ore. , self-defeating. Buy soma c.o.d., The PACBI organizers presumably believe in the Palestinian Right of Return. but apparently they don't want Palestinians and Israelis to meet in neutral settings so the Palestinians can explain why the Right of Return is so important to them.

What about all of the dialogue programs and other projects that foster co-existence and equality between Palestinian citizens of Israel and Israeli Jews, köpa billiga soma. I showed the guidelines to Ami Nahshon, Buy cheap soma, CEO of the Abraham Fund --which operates such programs--and asked him what he thought. Here is his response (it includes a reference to another PACBI guideline, which calls for boycotting anything connected to Israeli municipal governments, ordering soma online, including--presumably--those in mixed Arab and Jewish cities like Haifa).

The Abraham Fund (and presumably Givat Haviva and many/most Jewish-Arab coexistence and rights organizations in Israel) would seem to qualify for a...boycott based on any number of "criteria" cited in the document, for example:

-- projects carried out in affiliation with an official Israeli body or municipality (this would include most of The Abraham Fund's work, including our national initiative to bring human rights and multicultural values to the Israel Police; to mandate the teaching of Arabic language and culture in Jewish schools; a pilot program to assist Arab Israeli women in entering the workforce; even our sponsorship of a national Iftar dinner, in co-sponsorship with the Arab municipality of Sakhnin and the mostly-Jewish municipal authority of Misgav), buy soma c.o.d.. Ordering soma from canada, --projects which bring Palestinian-Arab and Jewish Israelis together to challenge stereotypes, promote mutual respect and engender empathy with the "other's" historical narrative and experience, as a building block for reconciliation and shared society values, Georgia GA Ga. . (These programs, New York NY N.Y. , sponsored by The Abraham Fund and many others) would be obvious candidates for boycott because they are not "framed within the explicit context of opposition to occupation and other forms of Israeli oppression."

But one needn't go into such detail. The preamble to the boycott criteria says it all: "...Before discussing the various categories of cultural products and events and as a general overriding rule, virtually all Israeli cultural institutions, unless proven otherwise, are complicit in maintaining the Israeli occupation and denial of basic Palestinian rights, whether through their silence or actual involvement in justifying, whitewashing or otherwise deliberately diverting attention from Israel's violations of international law and human rights. Accordingly, these institutions, all their products, and all the events they sponsor or support must be boycotted. Events and projects involving individuals explicitly representing these complicit institutions should be boycotted..."

The message is clear: any Israel-based activity that is not explicitly organized for the purpose of ending the occupation or focusing attention on "...Israel's violations of international law and human rights" has no place on the international map. Activities aimed at reducing Palestinian infant mortality and poverty, at advocating for government reforms that advance civil and human rights, at creating partnerships for economic, social and political progress across the divide -- these are all instruments of complicity with the status quo. That is, of course, a position which one could take. It is, in my view though, an absurd and self-defeating position for those who would purport to be motivated by values of peace, justice and rights for all.
