| Israel rejects US plea to halt settlement building | | Rupert Cornwell - The Independent -
"
Ms Clinton`s words on the subject could not have been more explicit. Mr Obama, she said after talks with her Egyptian counterpart, `wants to see a stop to settlements – not some settlements, not outposts, not `natural growth` exceptions.` The US had communicated its position `very clearly... and we intend to press that point.`"

| Tomgram: Noam Chomsky, Unexceptional Americans | | Noam Chomsky - Tom Dispatch - The torture memos released by the White House elicited shock, indignation, and surprise. The shock and indignation are understandable. The surprise, less so. For one thing, even without inquiry, it was reasonable to suppose that Guantanamo was a torture chamber. Why else send prisoners where they would be beyond the reach of the law -- a place, incidentally, that Washington is using in violation of a treaty forced on Cuba at the point of a gun? | 20/5/2009 |

| Picking on AIPAC? | | Philip Giraldi - Antiwar.com - It is time for the US people to demand that AIPAC be registered as a foreign lobby and cease and desist from its interference in U.S. politics. Neither America nor Israel is well served by having a United States Congress, White House, and media so cowed by AIPAC that they will endorse anything the corrupt politicians in Tel Aviv choose to do. It is time for Washington to return to a foreign policy based on the United States’ national interest, not Israel’s. | 20/5/2009 |

| Documentary: The Promised Land: US Media & The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | | Sut Jhally - The Real News Network - A film that provides a comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

| Why doesn`t Obama want us to see what`s in the photos? | | Margaret Talev, Jonathan S. Landay - McClatchy Newspapers - The timing of the president`s decision suggests that a key factor behind his switch of position could have been a desire to prevent the release of the photos before a speech that he`s to give June 4 in Egypt aimed at convincing the world`s Muslims that the United States isn`t at war with them. The pictures` release shortly before the speech could have negated its goal and proved highly embarrassing. | 15/5/2009 |
