Unbelievably, President Mahmoud Abbas and his hapless crew in Ramallah promised the US not to file charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court.

UN Has Failed to Bring Israel to Justice for 65 Years

It is today a bit of a stretch to point to what should be done with the reality that the seizure of virtually all of the Palestinian land has made so impossible.

(TEHRAN FNA) - We are used to hearing every day that a Palestinian citizen is killed by the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, or that Israel has begun constructing new settlements on the lands it has stolen from the Palestinians.

Although the illegal actions of Israel against the people of Palestine and its continued occupation of the Palestinian lands predates some 60 years back, the future of Israeli-Palestinian conflict needs precise and in-depth investigation and study.

EXCLUSIVE: India 2014: Emerging Political Scenario

For the time being India’s enemies have partially succeeded. But a rapid reorganization and consolidation of all the evil forces are gathering. It is up to the leadership of Modi and Modi alone that can take on these forces.

(CHENNAI) - The year began with an undignified and completely unnecessary attacks on Narendra Modi by lame duck octogenarian Manmohan Singh with a vile statement that the future Prime Minister will cause problems for India.

As usual, he avoided expanding his one liner. UPA-II under stewardship of Manmohan has exposed his hollow economic knowledge and zero political sense.

Patrick Karegeya`s Last Letter

Rwanda's political system marginalizes the majority of the population from political participation.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - I am writing to inform you that the current situation in Rwanda is one of those that ought to be of the greatest and urgent concern to those in the international community who have genuine concern about international peace and security in general and in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa in particular.

Erekat Wakes up to the Peace Swindle - Abbas Still in Cloud Cuckoo Land

None of this is new or surprising; it's standard stuff and should be unobjectionable, supported as it is by UN resolutions (unimplemented) and international law (unenforced).

(LONDON) - The Times of Israel reports that Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat, who recently resigned (again) but mysteriously remains in post, said in an interview that the Palestinians will not agree to extending latest talks with Israel one minute beyond the allotted nine months, ending in April.

Proper talks, which started last July, have not been held for two month owing to stalemate and unofficial meetings had been fruitless.

No Brain Transplant for Ariel Sharon, Rest in Agony

As it was the truth in '06, it's just as true today. The crook Ariel Sharon was assassinated by a gang run by today's Israeli President, Shimon Peres.

(ST AUGUSTINE) - As Ariel Sharon loses his battle for a brain transplant, writers of my acquaintance like Rachel Neuwirth, Susan Rosenbluth, Prof. Paul Eidelberg et al, are distributing a research piece more than hinting that Sharon was executed by fellow gangster, Pres. Shimon Peres.

Ms. Neuwirth said, “The apparent reality is that Israel’s government is a cesspool of corruption and treason. Its prime minister appears willing to place his people in mortal peril by destroying their national security, unity, and morale...”

Has the Idea of a Jewish State Become Obsolete?

As we express our hope that Arab countries (and even the U.S. itself) evolve toward a more inclusive and tolerant politics, it is worth asking if the maintenance of Israel as a Jewish state become counter-productive to its own long-term security?
