POPSObama's missteps Obama's unnecessary promise deviates from nearly six decades of U.S. foreign policy that held Jerusalem to be occupied territory under international law. This long tradition was first broken in 2004 when President Bush acknowledged Israel's demands to keep its illegal West Bank settlements in a final peace agreement, including those around Jerusalem. Thus Obama, a Harvard-trained lawyer, would both scorn the international legal system's foundational principle -- the inadmissibility of territorial acquisition by war -- and echo President Bush, whose failed Middle East policies he has rightly deplored. If Sen. Obama's Philadelphia speech on race was a model of courage and nuance, his AIPAC talk was brimming with the pro-Israel orthodoxy that typifies this year's presidential campaign. Like presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, Obama also backed Israel's so-called right to exist as a Jewish state.

POPSUri Avnery on the "liquidation" of senior Hezbollah member Mughniyeh Deutsch : Die „Liquidierung“ nur ein paar Tage später ausgeführt, nachdem ich den Artikel über die Unfähigkeit von Besatzungsmächten clipmark ] geschrieben hatte, die innere Logik einer Widerstandsorganisation zu verstehen. Diese „Liquidierung“ ist ein ausgezeichnetes Beispiel dafür. Mughniyeh-die-Person ist verschwunden, und Mughniyeh-die-Legende hat seinen Platz eingenommen, ein weltumfassender mythologischer Terrorist. Hisbollah hat noch einen kostbaren Aktivposten bekommen: einen Nationalhelden, dessen Name die Atmosphäre vom Iran bis nach Marokko erfüllt. Der „liquidierte“ Mughniyeh ist mehr wert als der lebende Mughniyeh. Das Gewerbe, in dem Israel nicht nur eine der Großen, sondern die unangefochtene Nummer Eins ist, ist das der Liquidationen. In dieser Woche wurde dies wieder einmal bewiesen.
