KOSOVO AND THE QUESTION OF PALESTINE
By Ali  Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 25 February 2008

Kosovo's unilateral  declaration of independence has
produced a range of reactions among Israeli  and
Palestinian observers that reveal their anxieties about
their  respective situations. However, EI co-founder Ali
Abunimah cautions, history  should tell us that imposed
partitions have only generated new conflict,  injustice and
ethnic cleansing and have reinforced nationalism  and
irredentism.

Activists to Bono: Don't honor Israel!
Open Letter,  PACBI, 25 February 2008

The following is an open letter from the  Palestinian
Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel
to  musician and activist Bono, issued on 22 February:
PACBI has learned that you  have been invited by Israeli
President Shimon Peres to take part in a  conference
designed to mark Israel's contributions to medicine,
science  and conservation. We urge you, as a prominent
activist on issues of global  inequality and a campaigner
for basic human rights, to say no to Israel,  especially
since the invitation coincides with celebrations marking
the  60th anniversary of the founding of the  state.

THREE GAZA PICNICKERS KILLED BY ISRAELI  MISSILE
Report, PCHR, 24 February 2008

Early Saturday evening, Israeli  forces fired a
surface-to-surface missile from one of its bases along  the
Gaza Strip border, targeting three friends in a bamboo hut
in a field  east of Beit Hanoun. The targeted area was
approximately 1.2 kilometers away  from the border with
Israel. The rocket landed in the middle of the  three
civilians who were preparing food during their picnic in
the field;  they were instantly killed and  dismembered.

Lebanon  : Opinion/Editorial:

THE KILLING OF IMAD MOUGHNIYA
By Raid Khoury,  Electronic Lebanon, 22 February 2008

Imad Moughniya's death, like his  life, will remain
shrouded in mystery and secrecy, but what few things  we
can learn for certain about this person's life we already
have. Before  Moughniya, Carlos "the Jackal" and Abu Nidal
were featured stars in the  sensational news-entertainment
industry. As a result we do not have an  accurate picture
of Moughniya (which may not be possible anyway), but  more
importantly, we have been presented with a distorted
reality of the  decades-long, bloody struggle between
Israel and Hizballah. Raid Khoury  comments for  Electronic
Lebanon.
