Atlanta Jewish Times owner says sorry for Obama 'hit' column
"Three, give the go-ahead for US-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice-president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States' policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies"

Israeli companies can profit from West Bank resources, Israeli court rules
[NOTE: Israel as an occupying power must follow the Fourth Geneva Conventions, and international laws condemning apartheid and colonialism. The Israeli court''s ruling defies international law and Israel's responsibilities. This ruling will be marked as another major milestone in Israel's destruction of the chance of creating a Palestinian state.]

Bethlehem shepherds giving up watching flocks
As thousands of Christians attend services in the Palestinian town of Bethlehem, the shepherds in the town have a very different life from that featured in the Nativity.
Israeli security restrictions have made getting sheep to their pastures is increasingly difficult, and the shepherds are thought to be in the way of expanding Jewish settlements.
No miracle yesterday in Nabi Saleh: Mustafa Tamimi murdered
They killed you, Mustafa. My insides crumple. You, in front of me. My tears are drawn from the depth of my wounded soul. You were engaged to be married. You were wanted by the army because of who you are: a Palestinian who resists the occupation he directly suffers from. I think of your father being denied a permit to be with you, of your mother who had to be granted permission by them to see you in the hospital. I think of your quiet, sardonic expression.
Your screaming sister. Your blood. Your murderers’ smiles.

Dear Newt
"Here is my morning poem, which turned out to be for the horrible Newt, who insults the
lizard newts, which are obviously of a higher intelligence."
Dear Newt
It is possible you are not invented yet,
you are just a phantom,
and tonight when you go home
someone else will be living in your house
because they couldn’t see you. Maybe they
will already have taken over your Tiffany’s
account and bank account and put it
in their own name. Would that hurt?
Not much, because you’re not real. You don’t have
a memory, a history, a simple human honor –
I am here, I was born in this place, these are my people
and my trees, my horizon and my water, my hope,
my children, the sound of my birds, my future.
Since you don’t have a future,
why would anyone vote for you?
Signed, The Palestinians.
