West Bank?
Reader comment on: The Palestinian Authority's Inconvenient Truths
Submitted by Liz, Jan 11, 2013 01:31
This article repeatedly refers to a place called the "West Bank." For thousands of years this area was known as Judea/Samaria. Then for some 19 years a belligerent, invading, hostile occupying force from "Jordan" controlled this area and called it the "West Bank." Yet, you use the enemy's term for this land today, as if it had no Jewish history. Why?

Fatah's Drive Against "Normalization"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Fatah activists who are threatening Palestinian teenagers for talking to Israelis and playing football with them are the same people who claim, at least in public, that they support the peace process with Israel. But how can there ever be a peace process when anyone who meets with an Israeli is immediately denounced as a traitor? It is worth noting that most of these denunciations are coming form the "moderate" Fatah, and not from Hamas.
The U.S. Role in the Sunni-Shi'ite Conflict
by Harold Rhode
America should back only pro-American forces who do not privately finance or publicly promote hatred against the U.S. It is in America's interest to rid the Muslim world of the Islamic fundamentalist forces whose goals and actions are inimical to American and Western interests; not to cozy up to them.
Growing Threats to Academic Freedom
by Edward S. Beck
Hawking's behavior is based on inaccurate, biased information. If he has insightful thoughts about resolving the Israeli-Palestinian issues, let him come and share them. Stating them at the conference is the way for them to have impact.
The Interfaith Racket: Passport to Credibility
by Douglas Murray
Because Ahmed was the first Muslim peer, most people were eager to do anything they could to cover for him, forgive him, reinstate him time and again – and even now are not able to believe the words that came from his mouth in Pakistan because they differed from the words that came from his mouth at interfaith meetings in London.
Muslims Demand Germany "Make Islam Equal to Christianity"
by Soeren Kern
Muslims attending the German Islam Conference were apparently offended by the insinuation that Islam could be radical or violent.
