Erekat's gift with numbers ... Sir, - Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat has been quoted as saying, "The last I know, Washington is 6,000 miles from Jerusalem, while Jericho is 67" ("Erekat: Settlement halt is insignificant," Online Edition, November 26). Actually, the distance between Jerusalem and Jericho, where Erekat lives, is approximately 17 miles, which is about...

Saeb Erekat is quoted as saying : The last I know, Washington is 6,000 miles from Jerusalem, while Jericho is 67. As far as I know, and I've checked , the distance between Jerusalem and Jericho, where Erekat lives, is approximately 17 miles, which is about 27.2 kolometers. Darn that Erekat, always exaggerating. Remember the "500" figure for the "Jenin Massacre"?

I set out my views on the news of settlements in East Jerusalem earlier in the week. They have undoubtedly reinforced scepticism about the chances of peace in the Middle East. But I was also struck by the announcement this week that forty-two Palestinian security personnel were being investigated for abuses. That might look like bad news. It's not. I've seen with my own eyes in Jenin how the Palestinian...

David Shulman Detained Palestinians near an IDF post in Hebron, photographed by an Israeli soldier ( Shvorim Shtika ) Questions of human rights abuses in Israel and the charges of war crimes put forward by the UN’s Goldstone report have produced little more than the usual disingenuous accusations of anti-Semitism. Even Moshe Halbertal, an unusually cogent Israeli participant-observer, takes...

The PA leaders "are whores. Our leadership is garbage." Symbol of the resistance and intifada and leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades the formidable but affable and thoughtful Zakaria Zubeidi readily agreed to be interviewed on the 12th November at Jenin's Freedom Theatre. Not for him the hypocrisy of paying lip service to the PA Quisling regime in Ramallah but forthright condemnation...

FOR all the talk of road maps and roads to peace, if ever harmony comes to the Middle East, it will need to travel along Highway 60 -- the road that winds north from Jerusalem towards the troubled Palestinian city of Nablus. It is in Nablus, one of the oldest and most important cities on the West Bank, that so many of the tensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intersect. A frail ceasefire exists...

Despite its success as the first Muslim Brotherhood organization to control and govern territory, and in part because of that success, Hamas today is under significant stress. In the West Bank, Hamas faces a severe security crackdown that has driven the movement underground. And in Gaza, Hamas has been forced to choose between engaging in acts of violence or attempting to effectively govern the territory...

The "peace process" had been headed for the mortuary slab ever since George W. Bush's presidency (with his acquiescence in Ariel Sharon's brutalities at Jenin in the West Bank, his concessions to Sharon in the matter of Israel's retention of its illegal mega-settlements in the West Bank, and his double-teaming with Sharon to eliminate Yasser Arafat and then politically emasculate Mahmud Abbas)....
