Barghouti’s Early Release; A Matter of Time in Olmert’s Latest Mutant “Convergence” Scheme

We Could Have Saved Gush Katif and Northern Samaria, by Nadia Matar (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

The strong responses from the ultra-Orthodox public has had an impact. This can already be considered a success.

The message broadcast by the leaders of the struggle is clear: this parade is to be stopped, with determination and without sensitivity, even at the cost of sitting in prison. read more
