Column: Dressing up the Palestinian state

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Jerusalem Post - By Gershon Baskin - Jun. 23 (Opinion) - Let us assume for a moment that the Palestinians accept all of Netanyahu's conditions - their state will be demilitarized, it will have no effective control of its external borders, its airspace, seaport, electromagnetic sphere. The Palestinians will agree to define the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people. The sovereignty of the Palestinian state will be more limited than the sovereignty of almost any other state. So be it (for the purpose of argument at least). Now Mr. Netanyahu, I have some questions for you regarding your vision of this Palestinian state.

Does Obama want a fight over settlements?

Thu, 28 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Jerusalem Post - By Herb Keinon - May. 28 (News Analysis) - Israel's position, or its hope, is that this issue can be finessed, just as it was finessed under the previous government. Or, as Netanyahu told a visiting Congressional delegation on Wednesday, there is a need to find a way with the US administration to enable "normal life" in the settlements to continue. If Obama says no settlements, but doesn't mention natural growth, leaving Clinton to do that, does that mean there is wiggle room? Nobody knows yet.

Jerusalem Post - By Haviv Rettig Gur - Jan. 14 (News Report) - Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has expressed concern over "a wave of anti-Semitic attacks" faced by Jewish communities worldwide. "We have received with great concern and revulsion many reports of physical, moral, verbal and other manifestations of anti-Semitic attacks towards Jews and Israeli citizens in many parts of the world," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued this week. "Examples of these include physical assault, violence and abuse towards Jews, the desecration of cemeteries and synagogues, the use of anti-Semitic incitement in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, the writing of anti-Semitic graffiti on Jewish property, as well as cartoons, editorials and other press stories reminiscent of the kind that appeared in the media of certain countries during the darkest days of the early 20th century," the statement read.

'Al-Jazeera is not an Arab news channel' - Jerusalem Post

Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Jerusalem Post - By Haviv Rettig - May. 12 (News Report) - "From my perspective, the Arab world will have to accept we're a neutral channel. Our job is to sell both sides, not to favor one or the other," according to Riz Khan, one of the most famous anchors on the Al-Jazeera English television channel. Khan, a former senior reporter and anchor for CNN and the BBC, spoke to The Jerusalem Post on Sunday evening after filming the first segment of his program on Israel's 60th anniversary. Broadcasting from a studio in Ramallah and one in Herzliya, the program makes an effort at neutrality. Its title includes neither the Israeli "independence" nor the Palestinian "nakba" (disaster), but what Khan believes is the more neutral "60 Years of Division."

Our World: Israel's rude awakening

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 20:49:57 -0700

Jerusalem Post - By Caroline Glick - Jun. 27 (Opinion) - It is painful to watch Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni try to contend with the terrible outcome of the Palestinian terror strike against the IDF on Sunday morning. They use so many fancy and angry words. They sound so resolute. And yet, they have nothing useful to say. Two soldiers are dead, a third is now the prisoner of jihadist killers, seven are wounded, an IDF border post has been overrun, and a world view and a security doctrine have been blown to smithereens.
