THOUSANDS ATTEND FUNERAL OF SLAIN GAZA JOURNALIST
By Mohammed Omer, The Electronic Intifada, 18 April 2008

GAZA CITY, 18 April (IPS) - Fadel Shana'a just had to go
to the scene of the Israeli bombing. As a Reuters
cameraman, that was his job. He wasn't the only one
killed, but through his pursuit of attacks as they happen,
he was always more at risk than most others. Fadel Shana'a
was killed Wednesday because he was in the firing line,
but also because, eyewitnesses said, he had begun to film
the tanks that were firing. A barrage of metal shrapnel
pierced his body as a tank missile landed close to him.

journalist, eight children and two brothers, and wounded
32 others in Juhor al-Dik village.

Palestine : Opinion/Editorial:

NO PEACE WITHOUT HAMAS
By Mahmoud al-Zahar, The Electronic Intifada, 17 April 2008

Last week's attack on the Nahal Oz fuel depot should not
surprise critics in the West. Palestinians are fighting a
total war waged on us by a nation that mobilizes against
our people with every means at its disposal -- from its
high-tech military to its economic stranglehold, from its
falsified history to its judiciary that "legalizes" the
infrastructure of apartheid. Resistance remains our only
option. Hamas founder Mahmoud al-Zahar comments.

ISRAEL DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW CARTER ANY MORE
Peter Hirschberg, The Electronic Intifada, 17 April 2008

JERUSALEM, 17 April (IPS) - Three decades after he
brokered the first-ever peace treaty between Israel and an
Arab country, former US president Jimmy Carter has become
persona non grata in the Jewish state. Both Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Barak
refused to meet with him during his four-day visit here.
So did former prime minister and opposition leader
Benjamin Netanyahu, who accused Carter of holding
"anti-Israel views in recent years."

Palestine : Diaries: Live from Palestine:

MY NAKBA
By Najwa Sheikh, Live from Palestine, 17 April 2008

As a third-generation Palestinian refugee, the Nabka is
more than fleeing the homeland, and losing your identity.
It is not having a single memory of the homeland that once
was for your grandparents, and your parents. It is not
having anything to tell your children, like the taste of
your land's fruits, the smell of its sand, about stories
and experiences with your people. Najwa Sheikh writes from
Gaza.

NEW JEWISH LOBBY SEEKS TO REDEFINE "PRO-ISRAEL"
By Jim Lobe, The Electronic Intifada, 17 April 2008

WASHINGTON, 15 April (IPS) - A new group of prominent US
Jews who believe that the so-called "Israel Lobby" has
been dominated for too long by neo-conservatives and other
Likud-oriented hawks has launched a new organization to
help fund political candidates who favor a two-state
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a
stronger US role in achieving it.
