Armed Israeli settlers appeared to have taken the law into their own hands yesterday by raiding a West Bank town as divisions emerged within the Israeli government over how to respond to the latest wave of Palestinian attacks. Palestinian witnesses said that a convoy of Jewish settlers, some armed with M-16 assault rifles, descended on the Arab town of Howara and killed a 22-year-old Arab man and set fire to cars. Israeli police said they were checking the reports. The attack took place while the settlement of Itamar built on occupied territory just south of Nablus was burying the victims of Thursday evening's attack in which a Palestinian gunman killed five people, including a mother and three of her eight children. The resumption of sectarian attacks which were an almost daily feature of the early days of the 21-month intifada comes as a debate rages within the Israeli government over how to respond to Palestinian assaults, in which 33 Israelis were killed within three days this week the majority in two suicide bombings in Jerusalem. There is fury in Israel that Palestinian suicide bombers are again randomly blowing up civilians. There is also deep disappointment that these attacks have resumed less than two months after the Israeli army sent thousands of tanks and troops into the West Bank in its largest offensive against the Palestinians since 1967. Earlier this week, Ariel Sharon's government said that it intended to reoccupy the pockets of Palestinian-run land on the West Bank the rest is already Israeli- controlled and remain "as long as terror continued". It described this plan as an important change of policy, although its forces have already been conducting almost daily raids into Palestinian- administered towns, and for months encircled Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. The policy was coupled with a partial call-up of reservists. But divisions have emerged over the reoccupation plan within Mr Sharon's coalition government. Benjamin Ben- Eliezer, the Defence Minister, and the Foreign Minister Shimon Peres both from Labour denied that they have agreed to the new policy. Yesterday, in response to the Itamar killings, Israeli forces sent 50 tanks into Nablus, and dug in further in Jenin, but it was unclear how long they planned to stay. A meeting of Israel's security cabinet yesterday appeared slightly to soften its position, saying only that the army should remain in Palestinian areas as long as necessary. Concerns abound within Israel that total reoccupation of the West Bank would lead to more casualties in the army. The Palestinians have portrayed the reoccupation policy as part of a long-held plan by Mr Sharon to seize control of all of the West Bank, crushing any chance of a Palestinian state. Underlying this debate is a general uncertainty in Israel over its next move. Assassinations, blockades, curfews, mass arrests, demolitions, and the bombing of the Palestinian infrastructure have failed to stop the attacks. Figures issued by the Israeli Defence Forces yesterday said that in the two months since the end of the offensive, called Operation Defensive Shield, 84 Israelis have been killed, and 276 injured. The international community is pressing Mr Sharon to couple his many conditions for talks led by a demand for a complete end to Palestinian violence and major reforms in Palestinian society with political moves, arguing that no progress will be possible unless the Palestinians have some form of hope. But every new murder of a civilian hardens the views of the extremists. Yesterday the latter made their views clear in a full page advertisement inThe Jerusalem Post, a sister paper of The Daily Telegraph that has written extensively on the problem of incitement in the Palestinian media. The unsigned advertisement called on the army to respond to suicide bombings with artillery and air assaults on the killer's home area attacks which the advert admitted would "inevitably kill and injure hundreds, even thousands, of Arabs".

-Caveat Lector- sorry prudy, but your facts are just wrong here palestine was divided by the british mandate, and the part that became jordan was given to the hashemite kingdom BY THE BRITISH, for their helping the british during world war 1. The majority population of jordan are palestinian, and they are being ruled by a minority group that the british installed into power. their populations are to paraphrase you very interchangeble: - On August 23,1959, the Prime Minister of Jordan stated, "We are the Government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine." "Let us not forget the East Bank of the (River) Jordan, where seventy per cent of the inhabitants belong to the Palestinian nation." - George Habash, leader of the PFLP section of the PLO, writing in the PLO publication Sha-un Falastinia, February 1970 "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate." - Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2nd February 1970 "There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people." - Farouk Kadoumi, head of the PLO Political Department, quoted in Newsweek, 14th March 1977 check this website (or any good history book) http://www.yahoodi.com/peace/jordan.html : Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate William of Occam NEURONAUTIC INSTITUTE on-line: http://home.earthlink.net/~thew > From: "Prudence L.

Jordan has shut down its border with the West Bank. Jordan IS Palestine. It also has a 60% majority of Palestinians. But it is run by the Hashemites who were given Jordan to run after WWI as a reward for helping the Brits beat the Turks in Arabia. The current rulers are afraid of a Palestinian takeover which Arafat once tried to do. Hussein killed thousands of Arafat's men and threw the whole bunch out. That became known as " Black September." If the Palestinians had any brains at all, they would start an Intifada against the Heshemites. At least they would have a real chance for capturing back their homeland. But nooo. They would rather start a holy war and lose yet again. Some people never learn.

-Caveat Lector- Hmmmnnn... No Jews = no news. Isn't this ethnic cleansing? I've heard nothing from you about this situation? Where is the Palestinian moral outrage? Where is the Liberal outrage? Or are you all just full of it? Nurev Kashmir's evicted Hindu minority seeks its own homeland By HEMA SHUKLA Associated Press NEW DELHI, India (July 11, 2001 06:39 a.m. EDT) - Pinni Suri remembers the scene exactly - even though 11 years have passed. Dawn had just broken when two teenagers knocked on the front door of her home in the Kashmir Valley, where her Hindu ancestors had lived for centuries among the majority Muslims. Two minutes later, one of the young men shot Suri's husband in the chest. The attackers disappeared into the narrow lanes of Srinagar, Kashmir's summer capital. Muslim neighbors, watching from their window, turned away as she begged for help. "They shot dead my husband on Aug. 1, 1990, and I left Srinagar the same day. I haven't gone back since," said Suri. An uncle of her husband was killed weeks later. It was a time of terrible fear among Kashmiri Pandits, Hindus indigenous to the beautiful Himalayan valley. They and Hindu settlers were being killed, kidnapped and robbed by Islamic militant groups demanding independence from India or to unite with Muslim-majority Pakistan. Between October 1989 and August 1990, some 350,000 Kashmiri Pandits fled and live mostly in squalid camps in Jammu, Kashmir's winter capital. Now as India prepares for a three-day summit starting Friday between Pakistan's Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Pandits are raising anew their demand for a homeland, which they say must be separate because of fears they will be targeted again. "They wanted to Islamize Kashmir and they wanted us out. It was ethnic cleansing," said Ramesh Manavati, spokesman for Our Own Kashmir, an organization that says it represents more than 700,000 Kashmiri Pandits and demands an enclave in the Kashmir Valley. Thousands of Kashmiri Pandits say they feel forsaken by their government, which failed to protect them and their property. "We are the forgotten ones, refugees in our own country," Manavati said. The All Party Hurriyat Conference, an umbrella group of Islamic and political parties that claims to speak for Kashmir, says the Pandits are welcome back, but a separate Pandit homeland is unacceptable. Kashmir is for all Kashmiris, says the group, which favors separation of the region from India. "The Hurriyat is not in favor of division along communal (religious) lines," said Hurriyat spokesman Abdul Majid Banday. The Hurriyat has outraged the Pandits by saying that the stories of killings and intimidation were exaggerated and that the Pandit exodus was part of a government strategy to show the separatist movement in a bad light. Those who fled said the militants' method was to kill one and terrorize hundreds. Mosques blared warnings to Hindus, telling "infidels" to leave. Graffiti on walls said the valley was reserved for "the faithful." Hindus who remained behind continue to live in fear. According to statistics compiled by The Associated Press, nearly 400 Hindus have been killed in 33 separate attacks in the past eight years. Many have been pulled out of buses and shot at close range. India accuses Islamic Pakistan of arming the Kashmir militants. Pakistan denies the charge, saying its support is only political. But most militant groups in Kashmir are based in Pakistan and run training camps for fighters under the eyes of Pakistan's government. According to the latest census completed in February, Kashmir has 6.2 million Muslims and 3.4 million Hindus, including 500,000 Kashmiri Pandits, as well as 300,000 Sikhs and 100,000 Buddhists. The displaced Hindus live safe but squalid lives in several large camps in Jammu, which is in the foothills of the Himalayas and has a Hindu majority. Extended families live in single rooms, with leaky roofs, poor ventilation and no toilets. "What is here? Nothing. Mosquito bites and fear of snakes," said 65-year-old Lakshmanjoo, who uses only one name. He has been sharing a room with 10 other family members since they fled 11 years ago.

Re: [CTRL] Settlers
-Caveat Lector- June is correct. Here is a description of life in "Merrie Old England." Life expectancy: "Life expectation at birth in early modern England was exceedingly low by our standards: under thirty years old, compared with over seventy today. Infant mortality rates were extraordinarily high, and it is estimated that in the pooorer parishes of London only about half the children survived to the age of fifteen" (Greenblatt 2). Disease: "The worst of these shocks was the bubonic plague, which ravaged England and particularly English towns, until the third quarter of the seventeenth century. In the year of Shakespeare's birth (1564), some 254 people died in Stratford-upon-Avon, out of a total population of 800. The year before, some 20,000 Londoners are thought to have died; in 1593, almost 15,000; in 1603, 36,000; OR OVER A SIXTH OF THE CITY'S INHABITANTS" (3). Wealth: During the sixteenth century, the textile industry was England's chief source of wealth. But there was a grim side to this wealth creation. Many acres of croplands were enclosed with fences by wealthy landowners, thus giving rise to food shortages and repeated riots (4). A Nation of Haves and Have-Nots: England was divided into four sorts of people: gentlemen, citizens, yeomen, and laborers. At the top of the social pile were the gentlemen (monarch, dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts and barons--who either inherited their exalted titles as the eldest male heirs of their families, or were granted them by the monarch). Below the gentlemen were the knights. In England, the mark of a gentleman was "idleness." Below these aristocrats were the citizens or burgesses. Below them was the great mass of ordinary people who in the words of Sir Thomas Smith"[have] no voice nor authority in our commonwealth and no account is made of them but only to be ruled" (qtd. in Greenblatt 7). Riot and Disorder: Between 1581-1602, there were thirty five riots in the city of London alone (8). Protests against the enclosure movement led to mass executions in the English countryside. Imprisonment and torture awaited those who challenged aristocratic rule. Most of the rebellions were trigged by HUNGER and OPPRESSION (my italics) (9). Five thousand rebels participated in the Midland Revolt of 1607. Robert Wilkinson led the Leicestershire Revolt. These rebels, called themselves "Levelers" or "Diggers" who were interested in ending the oppressive British class system. Legal Status of Women: "When Sir Thomas Smith thinks of how he should describe his country's social order, he declares that 'we do reject women, as those whom nature hath made to keep home and to nourish their family and children, and not to meddle with matters abroad,nor to bear office in a city or commonwealth"(9). Women like children were to be seen but not heard. One of the preferred methods of correction of female "misbehavior" was the "cucking stool," a punishment reserved specifically for women. In 1600, these contraptions were to be found throughout British cities... A woman would be carted out to a pond by a rough procession of villagers, to be dunked in the water (10). Persecution of witches: Throughout the 1600s, England was subject to the witch craze. Witch trials had begun in England in the 1540s (29). Exactly how many helpless women were accused and executed during "the Burning Times" is not known. But Shakespeare's MACBETH (1606), Middleton's WITCH (1616) and Dekker's WITCH OF EDMONTON (1621) are testaments to the widespread fear of witchcraft in early modern England. And some of you wonder why your ancestors wanted to leave the Old World? Hobbes gave an excellent description of European life: "brutish, nasty and short." Greenblatt, Stephen. "Shakespeare's World" in THE NORTON SHAKESPEARE. New York: Norton, 1997.
