Netanyahu’s Government Laws: Pure Fascism
It seems that the current Israeli government is obsessed to pass as much laws as possible until everything is controlled and no act is allowed to protest against the Israeli right projects. The Knesset passed a new law called “The Boycott Law” that punishes anyone or organization that calls for a boycott on Israel or the settlements.
Israel Prime Minister declared today without any hesitation that he supported the law and wanted it to pass. According to him, Netanyahu sees in the new law as a line that is drawn between what is acceptable and what is not. Netanyahu’s prejudice made him say that if he didn’t approve the law it would
The Palestinian Leadership must not withdraw and should go to the UN on September
Abbas’ advisor Nimer Hammad stated today that the PA will drop its bid for UN recognition in September if the Quartet demands from Israel to [singlepic id=574 w=320 h=240 float=right]withdraw from the 1967 occupied territories including East Jerusalem, stop settlements building, recognizes the two states solution and defines a time frame for any peace talks between the two sides.
The Palestinian statement is a move made before the Quartet meeting that will take place on the 11th of July to discuss the PA decision to go the UN and ask for recognition of a Palestinian state on the 1967 occupied lands. At the same time, the PA continues to work diplomatically hard to try to get as much as support as possible for a declaration of a Palestinian state on September. Hammad’s statement would be a kind of diplomatic move to mind the
Netanyahu decides: To change the conditions of the Palestinian Prisoners

The Israeli decision includes preventing [singlepic id=567 w=320 h=240 float=right]more than 7000 Palestinian prisoners from applying to learn for an Academic title in the universities. The Israeli decision comes as an added punishment to the Palestinian prisoners that are involved in a political conflict.

September Declaration of the Palestinian State..is it Possible?
The Palestinian determination to go the UN Council for recognition of the Palestinian state increases everyday. Reports about secret channel of negotiations [singlepic id=547 w=320 h=240 float=right]were denied by the Palestinian official Sa’ab Erekat who confirmed that without a complete freeze of the settlements building no progress can be achieved in the peace process.
Ynet reported that an official in the PA confirmed that the Palestinians are determined to approach the UN for statehood for two reasons that are that they do
Netanyahu’s speech…Good Language but no Content
Prime Minister Netanyahu made a speech that got high rating in the television networks in the last week. Netanyahu came back home while thinking that [singlepic id=544 w=320 h=240 float=right]he made a great diplomatic achievement. His face showed expressions as if he finally found a solution for the long period of criticism against the current Israeli government.
The uniqueness in his speech is the ability and skill Netanyahu had in separating the Arab revolutionary movement to make a change in the Arab world from the Palestinians demand to end the Israeli occupation. Netanyahu talked about the Arabs movement in Egypt and Tunisia and compared it to the
The Palestinian Unity is achieved…Netanyahu is lost
It was a surprise that the Palestinian people was waiting for since a long time and it brought back the self-confidence which both the Palestinian people and [singlepic id=533 w=320 h=240 float=right]leadership needed for the next stage. Fatah and Hamas declared yesterday a mutual agreement to end a division that is considered the longest and bloodiest between Palestinians. The new Egyptian leadership invested a lot in reaching the agreement that brought the Palestinian case back on the agenda of the International community and specifically Israel and the American government.
New Year’s Resolutions (Part 2)
The problem with Part 2′s is that anyone who didn’t read Part 1 could be lost. No not a ‘never- asks -for- directions- just -keep- turning -right -and- look- for-[singlepic id=445 w=320 h=240 float=right] the -12 -story- black -or- was- it- 11- stories -and gray- building?’ kind of lost, but more like a “What’s missing?” confusion.
Ok. That was a long sentence. Let’s go back. What I’m trying to say is this: You’ll be able to follow Part 2 better than virtually any part of your last really good argument with a friend or (what we in the politically correct professions call) your significant other, and especially more than a New York Times’ story that
Two years after the Israeli War on Gaza: Israeli leaders threaten to launch a new military operation
Deputy of Israeli Prime Minister, Silvan Shalom said today that Israel would launch a new military operation in Gaza.

Israeli Minister Yuval Shtaints stated tat sooner or later Israel will have to attack Hamas and end its sovereignty in Gaza.
Shtaints criticized the Palestinian efforts to get an International recognition of the Palestinian state and said that without peace there will be no Palestinian state. On the ground, the Israeli army killed two Palestinians and injured a third while they were trying to launch an attack on the southern borders of Gaza
