HOW OLMERT CONNED WASHINGTON OVER CONVERGENCE
Israelis have a word for it: hasbara. It is often misleadingly translated as advocacy for Israel. But what the word signifies more deeply for Israels supporters is the duty, when the truth would be damaging, to dissemble or to disseminate misinformation to protect the interests of Israel as a Jewish state -- that is, a state with an unassailable Jewish majority. If hasbara is expected of the lowliest members of Israels international fan club, it is a duty of the first order for the countrys prime minister.

THE HAMAS GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED
The U.S. and Europe decided, despite Israels opposition, to permit the Palestinian people to hold democratic elections. According to Jimmy Carters report in the Herald Tribune, the elections were honest, fair, strongly contested, without violence and with the results accepted by winners and losers. Among the 62 elections that have been monitored by... the Carter Center, these are among the best in portraying the will of the people. In a just and well-ordered
world, it would be unthinkable for a government that was elected in this way to be disqualified because Israel does not like the choice of the electorate in
question.
