"Only time will tell whether the appointment of Mitchell presages real change in U.S. behavior, but whatever else is true, the presidential appointment of a Middle East envoy with a real history of even-handedness, and who therefore prompts praise from the likes of Jimmy Carter, J Street and Noam Chomsky, and anger from the ADL and The New Republic, is a significant and encouraging departure from the suffocatingly one-sided approach that has been so destructive for both the U.S. and Israel."

Increasing even-handedness in the Middle East
Two things. If you have not watched the 60 minutes segment, please do. And consider taking one moment to post a quick e-mail to CBS, via this nifty J Street widget, in support of their coverage, which is under attack. Oh, and one more thing, go read Glenn.

Thanks Neil
Is CBS reporting the truth? How dare they!!!! /s
Thanks, Neil. Petition signed.
EPU’d from last thread
There was a short, about 10 minutes, piece on my radio this morning that Israel may have used what is called a “cancer bomb” in Gaza. I’m going to re-listen when it’s up on archive but it’s basically an explosive encased in a carbon fiber and tungsten shell. Developed by Lawrence Livermore labs, how Israel got hold of the specs is a big question. If true, Israel was using the people of Gaza as lab animals in an experimen
edit – experiment
I sent your Comment to Kirk he did a post about the cancer causing effects of Carbon Nano fiber if thats what this bomb is he knows more about this than anyone else I know at the Lake.
Thanks. I put the link to the show in comment 242 on the bobblehead thread.
Dragon, I left you good info on the DIME downstairs. According to the Militay’s own studies, a test involving the tungsten alloy used in the DIME resulted in 100% lethality. All 92 test subjects died within 5 Months from a rare form of cancer.

Bush signed off on a Leukemia bomb after his sister Robin died of Leukemia?
Historians are going to question Bush’s place in History below Pol Pot ahead of Caligula and Torquemada.
imo, mitchell is a great choice. clinton not so much. i posted this in a previous thread – from tuesday, statement by secretary of state clinton:
Clinton is sandwiched between Mitchell and Obama and I hope her influence will not detract from even-handedness.

Thanks for putting these videos up. I was SHOCKED that Bob Simon presented a different point of view than his usual.
Me too. I was pleased that he showed what the Palestinians have to go through just to get into their homes, let alone, leaving them. How the hell can Israel say with a straight face that they are the ones who are suffering? Jees.
Elliot,
Did you see Queen Noor on Morning Joe? Same thing, a shockingly more balanced presentation of the issues. In fact, that’s what she calls for, as a prerequisite for a successful peace process. It’s a stunningly simple and clear demand that no one can object to without revealing that they believe one side has a moral authority that the other does not.
