724 New Labor Party head, Mitzna's record of business dealings as Haifa Mayor -- rank: 1000

The information below about Mitzna's not-so-kosher relationship with businessman Gad Ze'evi has been known for quite a while. However, it is a sample from today's Ha'aretz on his overall performance as Mayor of Haifa for nine years. >From an economic standpoint, Mitzna is more of a pro-business ideologue than even a good portion of the Likud faction. Bryan ---------------------------------------------------- Mitzna's relationship with Ze'evi is somewhat complicated and invites curiosity; he ...

727 The Cairo Times (http://www.cairotimes.com/) -- rank: 1000

> > Anybody got another English language Mid East news source to > recommend? Al-Ahram has some very good articles when dealing with the Palestinian/Israeli issue and in non-Egyptian matters, but the Egyptian Government holds stock in the paper and appoints its editor-in-chief, so it follows government line pretty closely. For supplementary news from Egypt in English, there is also the Cairo Times, which has independent ownership, though obviously they still have to deal with the govern ...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/elsewhere/journalist/story/0,7792,773258,00.html excerpt of article: Memri's purpose, according to its website, is to bridge the language gap between the west - where few speak Arabic - and the Middle East, by "providing timely translations of Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew media". Despite these high-minded statements, several things make me uneasy whenever I'm asked to look at a story circulated by Memri. First of all, it's a rather mysterious organisation. Its we ...

730 on the middle East Web and Kibbutz Metzer Article -- rank: 1000

Hi Michael, I personally have perused the site a couple of times. I don't know him personally...but he does live close by me in Rehovot. Seems like a Meretz head (centrist left party) or a Labor lover, and the article you sent on Kibbutz Metzer is a bit annoying when he tries to play the 'rational centrist peace promoter' against the radical, ignorant and idealistic left (meaning the Left that is actually doing something at the moment)... Here is some of his Blah Blah: "Show them a realist ...

731 IDF Investigation on Hebron attack: Gunmen fired at security forces, not worshippers -- rank: 1000

There have been a couple of more interesting articles printed today on the subject of the, as Bibi Netanyahu likes to call it, 'Sabbath Eve Massacre in Hebron'. Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Military Correspondent stated today: "What happened in Hebron on Friday night was not a "massacre," as claimed by the spokespeople, nor was it an attack on "peaceful Jewish worshippers" returning from prayers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs. The attack actually began several minutes after all o ...

732 IDF Investigation on Hebron attack: Gunmen fired at security forces, not worshippers -- rank: 1000

I found this article from Ha'aretz interesting. It states about halfway throught the article that the Israeli army initial investigation states that the Islamic Jihad ambush was directed at the Israeli military forces and not the worshippers. Further, all one has to do is look at the list of dead (below) to see that only 2 of the dead were non-security settlers. This contrasts the message coming out by the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Pope and Kofi Annan: Pope: "I want to express my ...

Anyway, the New Israel Fund now states that it "will sever all business ties with the Mercantile-Discount Bank if it does not rescind its plan to collect higher rates of interest from Arab clients than it does from all other clients."
