The “Fine Print”: “Security Hiatus” in Gaza?
Did Israel Agree to “Security Hiatus” For 2005 Harvest in New Agreement?
Excerpts:
Shlomo Dror, spokesperson for the Coordinator of Activities in the Territories, told IMRA today that during the calm years 600 to 650 trucks passed through Karni a day because Israel was able to ease security inspections. At this time Karni is not operating 24 hours a day but even if it did it would not be possible to reach such a volume.

Excerpts:
“An article on Katif.net describes the sorry situation:
‘Today, three months after the terrible expulsion, many of those who were thrown out of their homes have no home, no work, and no income. People who were used to getting up early in the morning to go to work, now find themselves walking aimlessly around, ashamed to look into their children’s eyes and tell them they have no money because for three months they have been living in hotel rooms or in temporary homes supplied by the government without a place of work or income… ‘”

The Selling of the Next Expulsion?
MB: A clear example of blatant Anti-Jewish bias in Israel’s leftist dominated media.
Excerpts:
“A first visit to Hebron after almost 20 years. A strange feeling prevails when one exits the gate of Kiryat Arba, descends in the direction of the Cave of the Patriarchs. It wasn’t Shabbat, it wasn’t a Muslim holiday, it was noontime, the weather was glorious, and the streets were empty. Along the road from Kiryat Arba to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood, a kilometer and a half of road that winds among old houses and market streets, we saw perhaps two Palestinians walking.”
