News from Palestine.

Maybe this will be a good way to get me back into the swing of writing...

Every few day's I'll post a couple of the headlines news stories from the Occupied Territories. Here are today's:

Ma'an is reporting that there is a leaked document from Shin Bet that states that Israel has drawn up an assassination list of Palestinians officials... Including the democratically elected Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. The plan would become effective should Palestinian Groups RESUME attacks "in the heart of Israel".

Ma'an is also reporting that Fatah and Hamas are once again close to a "national accord government" and that it will be announced "within days".

Haaretz is reporting that Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz (Israel's version of a center-left politician... Hahaha) has no intention of uprooting illegal West Bank Outposts.... we're not even talking about Settlements here... Outposts are the campers and shipping containers housing some of the most radical Settlers.

3 Palestinian men were killed in two separate invasions by the Israeli Army in the northern West Bank. (Haaretz and Ma'an)

Anyway, those are some of today's stories in the Palestinian and Israeli press. You can read them both online: hit the Ma'an News link to the right and this link to Haaretz:

www.haaretz.com

By the way... a great deal of the "comments" in Haaretz's Talkback section are filled with anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian Racism if you ever need to be reminded that those "anti-Semitic Palestinians" are not alone in their bigotry.
