Palestine  : Opinion/Editorial:

CARTER'S VISIT WITH HAMAS' MESHAL
Hasan Abu  Nimah, The Electronic Intifada, 16 April 2008

"Carter seems more  comfortable with terrorists than with
friends like Israel." So said a  newsflash on the Israeli
daily Haaretz's website last Sunday. The statement  was
attributed to the American pro-Israel group, the
Anti-Defamation  League, and was obviously a reaction to
news that former US president Jimmy  Carter was planning to
meet with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal during an  upcoming
visit to Damascus. EI contributor Hasan Abu Nimah  comments.

IN GAZA, FUELING CARS WITH COOKING  OIL
By Rami Almeghari, Live from Palestine, 16 April 2008

Amna Abu  Sido was waiting for a ride at the so-called
Universities Junction in the  heart of Gaza City on Tuesday
afternoon when she explained how difficult her  commute has
become: "I take at least two taxis to go back home to the
Tal  al-Hawa neighborhood from the school I teach at in
Talatini street. Taxis are  scarce nowadays and this is
really adding to our difficulties." EI  correspondent Rami
Almeghari reports on how Palestinians in Gaza are  coping
with the latest Israeli measure of collective  punishment.
