Settlements Not an Obstacle to Peace? Get Serious. (Huffington Post)
Today, Peace Now released a new report entitled "Torpedoing the Two
State Solution -- The Strategy of the Netanyahu Government," detailing a number of trends in settlement expansion
that directly, and it seems, deliberately, undermine the viability of the two-state solution.Peace Now's Settlement Watch report: 2011 a record year for West Bank settlement construction
A new report by Peace Now's Settlement Watch project shows that 2011 was a record year in West Bank settlement construction. Worse, the past years highlighted dangerous trends on the ground in the West Bank, which may end up torpedoing a two-state solution: an Israeli government intention to legalize illegal outposts and thus transform them into full-fledged settlements, and building in sensitive locations such as E-1, Efrat, and Givat Hamatos, which would deny contiguity for a future Palestinian state.
APN Welcomes Resignation of Editor who Suggested that Israel Kill Obama
Washington, DC - Americans for Peace now (APN) welcomes the resignation of Andrew Adler, the owner and managing editor
of the Atlanta Jewish Times. Adler resigned under pressure, following a column he wrote, suggesting an Israeli

Washington, DC - Americans for Peace Now (APN) strongly condemns the belligerent anti-Jewish comments made by the Palestinian Authority's Mufti of Jerusalem at a public event in the West Bank earlier this month.
APN Concerned about Attacks on CAP
Washington, DC -- In the context of recent attacks in the media accusing the Center for American Progress and its staff of anti-Semitism, APN's President and CEO Debra DeLee today issued the following statement:
Israel Hayom: Settlers agree to new, possibly unenforceable, Migron evacuation deal
Under new proposal from Likud MK Danny Danon, illegal outpost of Migron will be relocated while current structures remain intact to serve as farmhouses • Compromise complies with High Court ruling to evacuate outpost, but it may not be legal.
Settler leaders on Monday agreed to a compromise regarding the evacuation of the illegal outpost of Migron. The High Court of Justice ruled over the summer that the outpost, home to some 50 families, was built on privately owned Palestinian land and ordered its evacuation by the end of March.
The American Prospect: "Love Till It Hurts"
If there's anything that can produce more anxiety than watching the Republicans pick a presidential candidate, it's
watching the process from Israel.
Yes, I know that the Republican candidates--well, except for Ron Paul--all love Israel. Newt Gingrich is still in
the race because of the cash his super PAC got from casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, whose other political investments
include financing an Israeli newspaper that exists to promote Benjamin Netanyahu. Rick Santorum has just been
endorsed by the high council of theocons, who are sure they understand Israel's importance better than the Jews
do.
