In Newsweek's

most recent report
on Israeli espionage on the
United States, the magazine claims that Israel
listened in on phone calls between former U.S.
President Bill Clinton and other leaders during
critical stages of the Middle East peace talks in
1999.



According
to the report, which cites British-Israeli political
scientist Aharon Bregman's upcoming book "Cursed
Victory: A History of Israel and the Occupied
Territories," Israeli intelligence eavesdropped on
conversations between Clinton and the late Syrian
President Hafez al-Assad.



Citing
transcriptions of the phone calls, the book also
alleges Israel tapped calls between Assad and
Syria's foreign minister in the U.S., as well as
discussions between Clinton and former Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak.



Bregman
writes that Israel eavesdropped on a conversation
between former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
and Barak's successor, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. In that conversation, Albright assured
Netanyahu that "the U.S. will conduct a thorough
consultation process with Israel" regarding any
potential agreement with Syria.



According
to Bregman, Israel's knowledge of the American and
Syrian stance in the ongoing negotiations "gave
Israel a huge advantage, allowing them to be ahead
of the game in peace negotiations and know what to
expect in the actual talks and maneuver
accordingly."



The
Newsweek reports have
claimed that Israel's alleged espionage against the
U.S. has continued for decades, despite

Israeli and U.S. denial

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

When Fracking Came to Suburban Texas

When Fracking Came to Suburban Texas January 01, 2013 "The Guardian" - -The corner of Goldenrod and Western streets, with its grid of modest homes, could be almost any suburb that went up in a hurry – except of course for the giant screeching oil rig tearing up the earth and making the pavement shudder underfoot. Fracking, the technology that opened up America's vast deposits of unconventional oil and gas, has moved beyond remote locations and landed at the front door, with oil operations now planned or under way in suburbs, mid-sized towns and large metropolitan areas. Some cities have moved to limit fracking or ban it outright – even in the heart of oil and gas country. Tulsa, Oklahoma, which once billed itself as the oil capital of the world, banned fracking inside city limits. The ...
