    {mosimage}

The photo-op which was the Annapolis peace conference is over.

The State Department defined the conference as "a launching point for negotiations leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state and the realization of Israeli-Palestinian peace."

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas issued a joint understanding committing "to immediately launch good-faith bilateral negotiations in order to conclude a peace treaty, resolving all outstanding issues, including all core issues without exception". (For the full text of the understanding, click here. )

President Bush stated in his speech at Annapolis that Israel "must show the world that they are ready to begin -- to bring an end to the occupation that began in 1967 through a negotiated settlement."  (For the full text of his speech, click here .)

[The desperate drive to bring Jews to Israel is based on the fact that non-Jews in Israel are considered a dangerous "demographic threat."  Israel will be troubled until all people living in Israel are valued and none are considered a threat simply because they exist and are not Jewish . . . AUPHR] 

An Israeli intelligence organisation is to send its agents to Germany to try to persuade tens of thousands of Jews from the former Soviet Union to settle in Israel.

Representatives of the organisation Nativ are soon to operate in Germany on the approval of the Israeli government to "counter the dangerous assimilation of former Soviet Jews in Germany", according to the wording of a decision recently passed by the cabinet of the prime minister, Ehud Olmert.

Protesters were faced by a cordon of police officer who leaned against the LEVIEV store windows, blocking any view of the expensive jewelry in the showcase. No customers entered the store during the hour and a half protest.

As Palestinian human rights and civil society organisations, we the undersigned, are deeply concerned by the lack of a clearly articulated legal framework for the upcoming diplomatic negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to be held at Annapolis on 27 November.
