	II Journal: Palestinians in Israel: you ain't seen nothin' yet
		First, you have to bear in mind that the subject of the Palestinian Israelis has never been defined, despite all the books and articles written about them(3) (some of which are excellent), simply because they have never been the subject.
		The Palestinians of Israel are a part of the problem because their problem will not be solved by the establishment of a Palestinian state.
		Incidentally, that is exactly the same grave mistake that the Palestinians made in their own Declaration of Independence, in 1988: "The State of Palestine is the state of Palestinians wherever they are," the Palestinian Declaration stated; and this was not the only lethal plagiarism in that text.

	Oppressing the Palestinians?
		In other words, the Palestinian Arab peasantry watched helplessly as their land was bought out from under them, by their own people, 50 years before Zionism.
		Even with the disruption of their economy that the Palestinians suffered as a result of the Intifada, the Palestinians are still listed as seventh in a list of 103 developing countries, on a par with Cuba, Singapore and Columbia.
		Arafat's legacy is clear: the current Palestinian government has no leadership capable of putting an end to the terrorism, to the descent into chaos and lawlessness, and to the ascent of the terror gangs in both the Gaza and the West Bank.

		Palestinian prisoners, who can be detained on any charge or no charge at all, are usually blindfolded, verbally abused, and then beaten.
		What Palestinians see with blurred vision, if only for the tears flowing from their eyes at the destruction of their homes and lives, and what the media has been altogether blind to, we can see sharply and clearly in its full grotesque scope and breadth.
		Nonetheless, the Palestinian cause is generally supported by the international community, with the singular exception of the United States (and to a lesser degree Great Britain).

		It's not the Palestinians' fault that Israel was established on that land at the same time that their national identity was awakened, and it is demeaning to say that there is no such thing as "a Palestinian" based on that.
		What I am saying is that if you were a Palestinian who took an Israeli payoff to move, your life wouldn't be worth two cents because you would have to answer to the thugs and criminals who enslave their own people.

		He said that he was fully committed to the implementation of the roadmap, a blueprint which targets the creation of Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel, but which has made next to no progress since its lauch more than two years ago.
		"I hope that the Palestinians have also learnt the lesson and understand they must halt their policies of the last few years which have prevented us from reaching such an arrangement." Sharon reiterated his mantra that he would not contemplate any compromise when it came to the nationâs security.

		I have to admit that I thought that the results of the Palestinian election would be closer, and I certainly did not know which group or party would win.
		Among the obvious attractions of the list including Hamas was the highly efficient welfare organisation for which Hamas is famous, but the placing of Mr Marwan Barghouti as head of the Fateh list seemed to give this former governmental formation a strong chance.
		It is worth noting that this list is not exclusively composed of Hamas members, despite what the "western" media try to tell us, but it is indeed largely controlled by it.

		In 1995, a parliamentary commission studying so-called cults issued a report that identified 173 groups as cults, including the Raelians, the Association of the Triumphant Vajra, the Order of the Solar Temple, Sukyo Mahikari, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Theological Institute of Nimes (an evangelical Christian Bible college), and the Church of Scientology.
		The Government has not banned any of the groups on the list; however, members of some of the groups listed have alleged instances of intolerance because of the ensuing publicity.
		In May 2005, Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin issued a Circular indicating that the Parliamentary list should no longer be used to identify sects, and authorities should instead focus their efforts on those sects that represent the greatest threat, notably those "small, fluid" groups that are "less easily identifiable" and which use the internet for recruitment.

	PROFILE: REMEMBRANCE OF EDWARD SAID, PROFESSOR, AUTHOR AND ADVOCATE OF THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE
		Edward Said, an advocate of the Palestinian cause, a professor of literature at the Columbia University, a critic who wrote authoritatively of Conrad and Beethoven, died in New York City last night at age 67 after battling leukemia for many years.
		Back in 1988 he spoke in support of the Palestinian uprising, or intifada, and of the unity the Palestinians had achieved.
		Professor Homi Bhabha of Harvard says that while Said was passionate in support of Palestinian nationalism, he was equally passionate about justice and was just as skeptical of the borders between nations as he was of the boundaries between academic disciplines.

		RighteousJews.org was begun in 2003 as a way to commemorate the memory of those Palestinians who have been, and continue to be depopulated, dispossessed, humiliated, tortured, and murdered in the name of political Zionism and its quest to create a Jewish state in the lands between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River.
		From its founding in 1897 the Zionist endeavors to "pump in" Jews and "pump out" Palestinians from this land have been the root cause of bloodshed and conflict.
		RighteousJews.org was inspired by the website of the most famous Holocaust museum at Yad Vashem, located on Mt. Herzl on the lands of the Palestinian village of Ein Karem 1,400 meters south of the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin.
