    By Haaretz Editorial
    It is difficult to know what eventually led the government to discuss the chopping down of Palestinian olive trees by thugs from the settlements. Perhaps it was the media coverage, or the change of guard at the head of the cabinet table. Or maybe it was the complaints filed by the Yesh Din human rights organization on behalf of the Palestinian victims that ended up on the table of the attorney general, or the fact that the chopping down of olive trees - as opposed to (…)

Democratic Congressman and ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, introduced resolutions calling for the creation of a panel to investigate Bush and Cheney’s handling of the war. Although a long way from framing articles of impeachment, it is an important first step.
    There is overwhelming and irrefutable evidence that (…)

    For a month now, since the second week of December 2005, the Israel Defense Forces has severed the northern part of the West Bank from other sections, and prohibited residents from traveling toward Ramallah and points southward.
    The ban applies to some 800,000 people, residents of the Tul Karm, Nablus and Jenin provinces. Until January 2, the ban applied just to residents of Jenin and Tul Karm. Since then it has been extended to Nablus area residents.

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not be heading to Washington empty handed on her inaugural visit to the White House this week. Keen to improve ties with the United States, she is reportedly going to offer to expand Berlin’s commitments to Iraq.
    George W. Bush has got to be pleased. Finally rid of that irksome Gerhard Schröder — whose staunch opposition to the war in Iraq strained trans-Atlantic ties — the United States president can look forward to a visit from a much more amicable (…)
