"The Israel Defense Forces recently began to distribute 'resident' stickers to West Bank settlers to be affixed to their cars' windshields. The stickers are intended to allow settlers to drive quickly through army checkpoints along the Green Line." [more]
For four years, Palestinian victims were almost anonymous to most members of the Israeli public. Now the preoccupation with these victims, and with the ethical questions involved in the army's blame for their killing, has become an almost daily question. [more]
Labor does not need the security portfolio to demand that the pullout from the northern West Bank not end with the evacuation of only four settlements, as Sharon wishes it to be, or to demand that the separation fence route, the roadblocks and closures do not rupture the life fabric of tens of thousands of residents in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. [more]
There are things that settlers have been doing lately to the army that if they were done by Palestinians would be defined as violence, and even as terrorism. [more]
But a complex set of political challenges appears to have all but assured that an even earlier end to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's current government is a matter of when, not if. [more]
In a confused, post-modern, deconstructed world, the settlement movement spokesmen offer the ultimate temptation to the confused Israeli looking for an answer to the question of why there's no end to the cycle of violence and what, if any, should be the price of the peace (or at least the quiet). [more]
"'This incident has shown me first hand the indiscriminate violence faced by Palestinians on a daily basis,' Baroness Northover said./ 'If the Israeli Defense Forces are prepared to shoot at a delegation of parliamentarians under the supervision of the UN, one wonders what treatment ordinary Palestinians are given,' she said." [more]
"On that day, the current war ceased to be a war on terror. It ceased to be a war for Israel's existence. On May 2, 2004, the war became a war of not-a-single-settlement. Not a single outpost. Until the last mobile home." [more]
"It is clear that the American war crimes will not reach the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Today, America sets the world's moral standards. It alone decides who will be judged, who is a terrorist, what is legitimate resistance to occupation, who is a religious fanatic, and who is a legitimate target for assassination. That is how four Iraqi children, who laughed at the sight of a dead American soldier, merited being killed on the spot." [more]
"The Palestinians blamed the United States for emboldening Israel to assassinate Rantisi by vetoing a Security Council resolution condemning last month's 'extrajudicial execution' of Hamas' founder." [more]
"'No one threw stones (before the police action),' Waqf director Adnan Husseini told Reuters. 'They (police) started doing this every Friday to scare elderly worshippers as younger ones are already banned. This is flagrant violation of freedom of worship.'" [more]
"...Israel won't remain entirely on the sidelines in the closely watched case. The Foreign Ministry is dispatching spokespeople, hundreds of Israeli demonstrators plan to fly to the Netherlands, and the Israeli rescue service ZAKA is sending the skeleton of a Jerusalem bus mangled in a Palestinian suicide bombing." [more]
"Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wants U.S. approval to expand large West Bank settlement blocs that are intended to be annexed once a permanent peace agreement is reached in exchange for evacuation of most settlements in the Gaza Strip and a few others in the West Bank." [more]
"The original intention was to extend settlements during the Oslo process, without being stopped. Meanwhile, most have been legalized whether de jure or de facto. People forget that. Using the term "illegal" makes people forget the fact that international law prohibits all the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza because international law prohibits the occupying power from moving its population into the occupied territory." [more]
"Rumors about the death of the fanatics in Afghanistan were premature. Local bosses and drug traffickers are entering the vacuum created by the Karzai regime. The U.S., eager to bring the message of the West to Iraq, seems to be turning a blind eye." [more]
"An Israeli defense source said that the talks with Simpson did not attest to Israeli involvement in the expected war, but were aimed rather at dealing with a situation in which Iraq responded to an American strike by attacking Israel." [more]
"Clark won fame and glory when he led the movement to withdraw the American forces from Vietnam. Since then he has been a radical peace activist, and today he is one of the key leaders of the American protest movement against an invasion of Iraq. He is also known as a fierce critic of American foreign policy." [more]
"U.S. President George W. Bush will ask Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for 'maximum restraint' if Israel is attacked by Iraq in the event of an American assault on the Baghdad regime, but he won't ask Sharon for a commitment not to react under any circumstances, Israeli and American sources said yesterday." [more]
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday told the cabinet ministers to stop talking about the possible upcoming U.S. strike on Iraq because he believes it could interfere with US and Israeli efforts to plan for possible Iraqi retaliations stemming from the pending US invasion. [more]
"The newsletter said the elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit was ordered into Iraq 'to find and identify places used by, or likely to be used by, Iraqi Scud missile launchers.' " [more]
"An authoritative UN study concludes that Arab states are among the most backward in the world in education and research investment." [more]
"The three children took their bikes to buy candy. A tank chased them and fired two rounds at short range. Two brothers were killed, and the third brother was severely wounded. It's all there on the video." [more]
"A Palestinian woman and her 12-year-old daughter were killed Saturday by IDF fire east of the el Bureij refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reported. The IDF spokesman said that the army was investigating the circumstances of the shooting." [more]
"In a draft resolution, the Arab states are demanding that Annan present a report on Jenin and other Palestinian cities by 'drawing upon the available resources and information.' The group demanded that it receive the report two weeks after the resolution is adopted." [more]
"During the shooting, houses in the Shuka neighborhood about half a kilometer away, where the Shaluf family lives, were hit by four to six shells. The baby was killed in the house. Her father and mother, and four other members of the family, were wounded. An armored force then rolled into the neighborhood, and after it departed, the body of a 25-year-old deaf man was found, apparently crushed by a tank." [more]
"Opposition politicians capitalized on yesterday's special Knesset session to lambast Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and his policies." [more]

"In just five years, Bush has challenged more than 750 new laws, by far a record for any president, while becoming the first president since Thomas Jefferson to stay so long in office without issuing a veto." [more]
(Interactivist Info Exchange, Jul 26)
"Horizontalism is not an ideology, however, it is a relationship — a way of relating to one another in a directly democratic way while at the same time creating through the process of discovery. What has resulted is the creation of an amazing complex of movements, all linked." [more] |
This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
