796 On the ground updates from Bethlehem -- rank: 1000

A good friend of mine who lives in Bethlehem sent me an e-mail this morning. I thought a portion of it was good for on the ground general information about what is going on there in the last days. The second section is a letter that he attached from an acquaintance of his (a Christian Chaplain) who sends out first hand info on what is happening there: >From a friend of mine who lives in Bethlehem: "...the Israeli "Defense Forces" have come into Bethlehem a little bit beyond t ...

797 Israel's right-wing 'transfer the Palestinians' Gandhi Shot PFLP take Responsibility -- rank: 1000

Gandhi was Ze'evi's nickname. He has had it for years and years, from his time in the regular Army (he fought in '48 and '67 and was a general). Think his friends thought he looked like gandhi (I don't really see it) and the irony of an militant Army man named Gandhi.

799 Israel's right-wing 'transfer the Palestinians' Gandhi (Rehavan Ze'evi) shot three times in the head -- rank: 1000

Woah...I was going through my morning e-mail when I saw on the news that Rehavam (gandhi) Ze'evi has been shot in the head three times. (they say now by PFLP, but who knows, no one has taken responsibility). This is huge news, because he is one of the gurus of the Kach and the settler movement, and they will want blood...and Sharon will give it to them. Gandhi was head of the party Moledet (homeland) which had the goal of transferring Palestinians of the territories to Arab states [to preclude ...

800 anarchism...nationalism and culture (a reply to chuck and dennis) -- rank: 1000

Bryan: It seems to me that in the discussion about nationalism, the state, anarchism and such, especially between Chuck and Dennis, that there is a need to make clear the distinction between culture and state, especially in Anarchist thought (since that is the object of the discussion). Rudolf Rocker's (imho the best of the Anarchist thinkers) great book Nationalism and Culture juxtaposes Nation and culture against one another: Rocker discusses how the nation-state's drive for: "'purity of ...

Journal Axes Gene Research on Jews and Palestinians for Political Reasons The London Observer November 25, 2001 A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal. Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.

806 wow -- rank: 1000

Ha'aretz is reporting that five children were killed, and that it the explosion came from an (at the time) unexploded tank shell which had been shot by an Israeli tank days before. Here is a quote from the Ha'aretz article: "Five Palestinian boys on their way to school were killed early Thursday morning in an explosion Palestinian officials said was caused by an IDF tank shell. The army denied any involvement in the incident, saying it had not been operating in the area. Palestinian securit ...

807 apologies -- rank: 1000

Dear all, Apologies. I just wonder sometimes why there seems to be such a cynical attitude towards one another in this list.

808 Activists curtailed in USA (MER and Women in Black) -- rank: 1000

You know something, there are some really aggressive assholes in the bunch here, no? I forwarded the content of something I was e-mailed, from a legitimate source I might add (knowing the people in ICAHD personally, I know that they don't usually go around spreading unsubstantiated rumors). I am sorry that it said MER.org, which was in the original letter I forwarded...perhaps the author of the original e-mail made a...oh my god no....mistake.

809 Activists curtailed in USA (MER and Women in Black) -- rank: 1000

I know that MER.org is not their address. The address is http://www.middleeast.org/mernew.htm And their last article is from October 3, 2001 as far as I can tell. I have written an e-mail to them to try to find out information, but have not gotten a reply as of yet. So I thought maybe someone on your side of the world would know something, especially someone from the DC area.

810 Activists curtailed in USA (MER and Women in Black) -- rank: 1000

Activists curtailed in USAHey all, Someone from the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) sent me this today. If this is true, it does not bode well for the situation in the US. And we at IMC-Israel decided to use an American server because we thought that it would be more likely that we would be closed down by the Israeli authorities than the American. Perhaps we misjudged the situation. Anyway, here is the info that we got: ------------------------------------------------------- ...
