  Yachad (party) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yachad is an Israeli dovish social democratic left wing party.
It was established in order to unite and resucitate the Israeli Zionist peace camp, which was defeated in the 2003 elections (dropping from 54 Knesset members in 1992 to 24 in 2003) following the al-Aqsa Intifada.
The party's purpose was to unite a variety of dovish Zionist movements with the dovish wing of the Israeli Labor Party.

 Greenspan's Monetary Policy Testimony
Obviously if the dovish testimony is given with the hint that interest rates will remain low for a long time, the U.S. corporate bond market should find this good news.
A dovish testimony would point to the possibility for a long period of low interest rates, and open the door for the next leg down in the dollar.
This is potentially positive on two fronts: the idea of ongoing low rates could help unlock the new issue pipeline (which has been at a trickle-like pace) and it reduces the risk of interest rate volatility (which is a factor for the higher beta names such as autos and Emerging Markets).

 BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Amram Mitzna: Labour's 'peace' hope
Amram Mitzna, a former "dovish general", emerged from relative obscurity to head Israel's beleaguered Labour Party in November 2002.
Mr Mitzna combines his experience as an army general with his dovish views, saying that his military experience taught him that military force alone cannot solve Israel's problems.
He earned the reputation of "dovish general" after making a stand against Ariel Sharon over his involvement in the Palestinian massacres at Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982.

 The Debate Link: Moore Problems?
Kerry's dovish tendancies have been overhyped (though he's not a hawk either), and Howard Dean was a veritable warmonger whose reputation was inexplicably wholly defined around his opposition to the second Iraq war, rather than his calls for a resurgent war against terror (a worse version of Bob Graham, in my opinion).
Democratic primary voters soundly rejected the two major doves in the field (Sharpton and Kucinich), and 3 of the 4 frontrunners (Kerry, Edwards, and Gephardt) voted for the war in Iraq.
There are dovish elements in the Democratic party, to be sure (just as there are dovish/isolationist elements in the Republican party, as Pat Buchanan might like to point out).

 Likud rejects dovish Barak as a partner
The hard-line Likud party, which sought a powerful place in Prime Minister-elect Ehud Barak's emerging coalition, announced yesterday it would not join what was shaping up to be a dovish Israeli government.
Barak's refusal to capitulate to Likud's demands to hold the line on turning over more land to Israel's neighbors was welcomed by the Palestinians, who had been jittery at the prospects of dealing again with the Likud.
Facing a July 9 deadline to form a new government, Barak said yesterday that he preferred the more conciliatory combination of the liberal Meretz party together with the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, the third-largest presence in Israel's parliament, the Knesset.

Dovish ex-general is ahead in Israeli Labor Party primary
   Polls released Monday, a day before the vote, showed dovish ex-general Amram Mitzna pulling well ahead of Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, the party leader whose appeal has been eroded by almost 20 months of service as defense minister before he abruptly led Labor out of Sharon's "unity government" last month.

 BBC NEWS | Middle East | Amram Mitzna: Labour's 'peace' hope
The former mayor of Haifa was the choice of the peace movement and those on the left of the party seeking to distance themselves from politicians who served with the right-wing Likud Party in the coalition government.
He is one of the country's most decorated veterans, after serving in the Six-Day War in 1967, in the Yom Kippur war in 1973 and in Lebanon.
He is one of two generals to have resigned over Israel's long involvement in Lebanon, but was brought back to high command by Menahem Begin.

 Stanley Kurtz on Kerry, Vietnam & Foreign Policy on National Review Online
To distract from his dovish Senate voting record and its origins in his radical antiwar activism, Kerry organized the Democratic convention around his Vietnam exploits.
With the help of the blogosphere, these vets are now forcing the truth about John Kerry's dovish views onto a liberal media that would rather change the subject.
But the fact of the matter is that a huge chunk of the Democratic base opposes the war in Iraq because it sees Iraq as a repeat of Vietnam.

The party's choice is between a hawk, a dove or a moderate.
It is a three-way race between the party's current leader, the former defence minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, the dovish mayor of Haifa, Amram Mitzna, and a moderate former cabinet minister, Haim Ramon.
He is considered the most dovish of the candidates, favouring a rapid resumption of peace talks without setting conditions.

The Likud vote gave Sharon an important political victory as he pushes forward with his plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and four small West Bank settlements in mid-2005.
A government with the dovish Labor Party, along with upcoming Palestinian presidential elections, also could help restart long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
In a new sign of progress Friday, Israeli security officials said the army is prepared to turn over security responsibilities in northern Gaza to the Palestinians well ahead of the withdrawal.

 Dovish party says it will prevent Sharon's downfall this week   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, struggling to keep his minority coalition government from collapsing, received an unexpected boost on Sunday from a dovish party in an upcoming no-confidence motion.
The dovish Labor Party, the main opposition party, announced last week that it would stop supporting Sharon if he didn't agree to changes in the 2005 budget.
However, his plan to pull out of Gaza and four West Bank settlements next year has alienated his former supporters in the settlement movement, forcing him to turn to the dovish opposition for support.

 CNN.com - Israel's Labor picks dovish Knesset slate - Dec. 10, 2002
Sharon, who has a wide lead in the polls, has said he wants to create a new unity government if he wins, but Mitzna has said he will not allow Labor to join.
Labor's dovish slate of Knesset candidates means its faction in parliament would be less likely to cooperate with Sharon.
Sharon suffered a setback earlier this week when his Likud party central committee put together a slate of Knesset candidates who oppose his stand on the creation of a Palestinian state.

Beginning in 1993, terrorists and dictators enjoyed eight years of dovish Western foreign policy, led by a charming Southern president and encouraged by an increasingly Chamberlain-esque Europe.
The terrorists and dictators, however, had gotten comfortable with the old payoff matrices and were sluggish to change strategy.
From a Gore or a Clinton or a Kerry, he probably would have been right; America would have whimpered and curled up in a corner, and it would have been another successful strike against the infidels.

Talat, a strong supporter of a UN reunification plan for the divided island that was voted down by the rival Greek Cypriot community last April, said the results were a vindication of his centre-left Republican Turkish Party's reconciliation efforts and called for renewed peace talks on the island.
He immediately held out an olive branch to Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos, whose majority Greek Cypriot community overwhelming rejected the UN reunification blueprint at his urging in a referendum last April, saying the election result showed the Turkish Cypriots' continuing desire for a solution.

The new leader of the Israeli opposition Labour Party, dovish former general Amram Mitzna, has said his election is proof that Israelis are prepared to start negotiating with the Palestinians once again.
He took 54% of the vote in an election for the Labour Party leadership on Tuesday, defeating two other candidates including the incumbent, former Defence Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer.
The Jerusalem Post, meanwhile, writes that by electing Mr Mitzna, "the most dovish candidate in the race", Labour Party members "apparently condemned their party to four years of watching from the opposition as a Likud-led government decides the nation's future".

For the 12-week period of Dec. 1 through Feb. 21, hawkish op-ed pieces numbered 39, dovish ones 12 -- a ratio of more than 3-to-1.
In December the total number of dovish columns, including columnists, was, to stretch the sum, two: a moral appeal by former U.S. Rep. Bob Edgar (D-Pa.), head of the National Council of Churches, and a skein of questions by William Raspberry -- good, legitimate policy questions, eminently worth asking, but still questions.
In January the paper's ratio was four dovish pieces to 17 hawkish ones.
