It was learned this afternoon that the journalist and revisionist historian, Dudley Harris O'Brien is to be made a Commander of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours List. Reached at his hideaway in West Cork, Sir Dudley said:-I am eenormously grateful to her Imperial Majesty for thinking of me in this her year of Jubilee. My patron and friend, Sir Tony, was of course honoured previously, and indeed this is really an honour for all of us at the Independent. As I kneel to kiss her Majesty's ring I shall renew my pledge and struggle against Ira-Sinn Fein. And on my way down here on Friday I was shocked to see tricolours everywhere and I now begin a campaign to have this emblem of Irish nationalism banned. read full story / add a comment

"No one refused an order to take down a house. When they told me to destroy a house, I exploited that in order to destroy a few more homes. On the loudspeaker, the Palestinian civilians were warned to get out before I came in. But I didn't give a chance to anyone. I didn't wait." read full story / add a comment

The following piece by Steven Plaut from Haifa, found in Media Eye UK, illustrates the feelings of one Israeli. His views may not represent those of the average Israeli (yet), but reading his scenario below may make it easier for the objective observer to understand why left wing and centrist Israelis are moving more to the right. As many contributors to this site have already noticed, it is Arafat and his fellow promotors of the Jihad route of violence that brought Sharon to power. read full story / add a comment

Nothing is lacking for the making of peace but the Arab persistence in denying Israel's very right to exist. Nothing can wrench out of our hearts or out of our policy this wish for peace, this hope of peace — not even our indignation over the killing of our loved ones, not even the enmity of the rulers of the Arab world. - Golda Meir read full story / add a comment
national / miscellaneous / news report Saturday June 08, 2002 21:36 by Daniel Pipes
The Camp David II summit and the "Aqsa intifada" that followed have confirmed what everyone had long known: Jerusalem is the knottiest issue facing Arab and Israeli negotiators. In part, the problem is practical: the Palestinians insist that the capital of Israel serve as the capital of their future state too, something Israelis are loathe to accept. But mostly, the problem is religious: the ancient city has sacred associations for Jews and Muslims alike (and Christians too, of course; but Christians today no longer make an independent political claim to Jerusalem), and both insist on sovereignty over their overlapping sacred areas. In Jerusalem, theological and historical claims matter; they are the functional equivalent to the deed to the city and have direct operational consequences. Jewish and Muslim connections to the city therefore require evaluation. read full story / add a comment

The situation in Palestine has become more and more extreme in the last couple of weeks. Reports are emerging regularly which detail the use of mass internment against Palestinian civilians living in refugee camps. Many Israelis and foreign observers have been taken aback at the dark symbolism of reports of internees having numbers printed on their skin. read full story / add a comment

In video footage that will remain etched on memories for a long time to come, Israeli TV broadcast the lynching of Israeli soldiers by a furious Palestinian mob in the West Bank town of Ramallah. The film, shot by an Italian television crew, showed dozens of enraged Palestinians storming the police station where the soldiers were being held after they had been captured by Palestinian police. A Palestinian grabs one of the Israelis (who was in plain clothes) Gruesome scenes were visible through an open window as the mob savagely beat and stabbed two or possibly three of the soldiers to death. Then a body was thrown from an upstairs window. The frenzied crowd clapped and cheered as more blows were rained down on the lifeless figure by the crowd outside. Rising anger Four men had been travelling in an unmarked car that was somehow apprehended on a street in Ramallah. read full story / add a comment
