...areas of the West Bank and to target only leaders of Islamic Jihad. This is the type of restraint that needs to be shown on both sides of the conflict in order for true peace to eventually emerge. It is unacceptable for Hamas to allow Islamic Jihad and other terrorist factions to operate freely within the Palestinian territories. We hope that in the near future, Mahmoud Abbas, as president of the PA, calls for a referendum to form a new government. At that time, Palestinians need to take a hard look at their past choice and attempt to discern what...
...American Pie”) gets its title. The ridiculousness of the song should give a sense of the SNL-like quality of the movie, which revels in its hilarious and biting satire of American life.

The government, they said, simply wasn't able to establish a clear link between al-Arian's constitutionally...
...Arian cut a deal. After months of negotiations, the Feds announced this week that the USF professor had pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide services to the PIJ, such as immigration assistance to its members and lying about a former associate's affiliation with the terrorist group. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 1. But though guidelines call for 46 to 57 months in prison, al-Arian, who was born in Kuwait and has some family in Egypt, will serve only a fraction of that time and then be deported to an as yet undetermined country...
