Yassin Assassination Marks End of Peace Process, says Egypt | VOA

[patriotvoice]

"Egyptian leaders say the assassination of Palestinian Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin marks an end to the Middle East peace process. Arab leaders say the killing will have severe consequences throughout the region.

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak announced immediately that he is canceling a visit to Israel by a delegation of Egyptian legislators. The trip had been planned for Tuesday to mark the 25th anniversary of the peace treaty between the two countries. Mr. Mubarak said the assassination of the wheelchair-bound Hamas founder has aborted the peace process and will have widespread effects on the entire region."

2. It's not only the peace process that is dead, our own freedoms are dying

"Ten months ago the New York-based Jewish Week newspaper claimed that the report by American Free Press that Republican members of the Senate were planning to crack down on college and university professors who were critical of Israel was "a dangerous urban legend at best, deliberate disinformation at worst." In short, they were saying AFP lied.
Now the truth has come out. On September17 , 2003 the House Subcommittee on Select Education unanimously approved H.R.3077 , the International Studies in Higher Education Act, which was then passed by the full House of Representatives on October21 . The chief sponsor of the legislation was Rep. Peter Hoekstra, a conservative Republican from Michigan.
This bill is dangerous--a direct affront to the First Amendment and the product of intrigue by a small clique of individuals and organizations which combines the "elite" forces of the powerful Israeli lobby in official Washington."
