WHEN YOU SHOOT THE MESSENGER
By Mel Frykberg, The Electronic Intifada, 3 July 2008

GAZA CITY (IPS) - The assault of IPS Gaza correspondent
Mohammed Omer has left Israeli security personnel with a
lot of explaining to do. And they are not doing a very
good job of it. Omer was abused and assaulted by Israeli
security personnel at the Allenby border crossing into
Israel from Jordan as he tried to return to his home last
week in the Gaza Strip. Omer was returning from Europe
where he had addressed European parliamentarians on the
situation on the ground in Gaza.

CROSSING THE LINE FOCUSES ON A POSSIBLE ISRAELI STRIKE ON IRAN
Podcast, Crossing the Line, 2 July 2008

This week on Crossing The Line: The Israeli Air Force
recently conducted long-range exercises over the
Mediterranean Sea, a move that US intelligence officials
say might be a prelude to a strike on Iran. Is Israel
being used as a proxy by the US to attack Iran? Or is
Israel, which has struck sites it alleged to be nuclear in
Iraq and Syria in the past, planning to strike Iran on its
own? Bill Christison, a former CIA intelligence officer,
will join host Naji Ali to discuss a possible Israeli
strike on Iran.

NOT ONLY PALESTINIANS SUFFER
By Rami Almeghari, The Electronic Intifada, 1 July 2008

There are roughly 5,000 Russian women in Gaza. Many, like
Jamila, have been living in Gaza for many years. For
Jamila, having two children and running a married life has
proven difficult with the situation in Gaza, where
conditions are totally different from those of her own
homeland or maybe any other country in the world. "Prior
to the outbreak of the intifada, I used to feel more
comfortable. But since 2000 and particularly the last
year, things have become much worse. There is no gas,
there is no fuel, there is nothing," she explained. Rami
Almeghari writes from Gaza.

US HAWKS BELIE IRAN'S "EXISTENTIAL THREAT" TO ISRAEL
By Gareth Porter, The Electronic Intifada, 1 July 2008

WASHINGTON (IPS) - New arguments by analysts close to
Israeli thinking in favor of US strikes against Iran cite
evidence of Iranian military weakness in relation to the
US and Israel and even raise doubts that Iran is rushing
to obtain such weapons at all. The new arguments
contradict Israel's official argument that it faces an
"existential threat" from an Islamic extremist Iranian
regime determined to get nuclear weapons.
