Deadline for Israeli Attack
Russia is planning on fueling Iran's nuclear power plant. As if that's not prophetic enough....John Bolton is saying this could be a deadline date (August 21) for an Israeli attack on it's ancient nemesis, Persia.
News that Russia will load nuclear fuel rods into an Iranian reactor has touched off a countdown to a point of no return, a deadline by which Israel would have to launch an attack on Iran's Bushehr reactor before it becomes effectively "immune" to any assault, says former Bush administration U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton.
Once the fuel rods are loaded, Bolton told Fox News on Friday afternoon, "it makes it essentially immune from attack by Israel. Because once the rods are in the reactor an attack on the reactor risks spreading radiation in the air, and perhaps into the water of the Persian Gulf."

Why Did Harvard Sell Off Its Shares in Israeli Companies?
Harvard has sold off all its shares in Israeli companies, The Media Line, a Middle East news service, is reporting. The Harvard Management Co., which manages the university's $26 billion endowment (the largest of any school), informed the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission of the move on April 13, disclosing that it sold $41.5 million in holdings in Israeli companies during the second quarter of 2010. Now the question is: Why?
Advocates of boycotting Israel over its treatment of Palestinians saw in the announcement a boost for their cause.

East Jerusalem Cafe Draws Customers From All Sides
The tiny cafe on Ali Ibn Abu Taleb Street has fewer than a dozen tables, and you could walk past the small shop front without knowing it was there. But in the few short weeks since it opened, Dina's has become a key meeting place for the cognoscenti of East Jerusalem.
It is the only place in town where a former Hamas minister for Jerusalem, hiding out in the nearby Red Cross headquarters as he fights deportation from his native city, rubs shoulders with a former Fatah minister for Jerusalem -- while the Israeli police official responsible for enforcing legal actions against both of them sips his coffee at an adjoining table.
Dina's is strategically placed midway between two symbols of conflicting claims to sovereignty in this divided city: the shuttered Orient House headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the barbed wire, armed guards and electronic gates of the Israeli Ministry of Justice. Israeli lawyers and their clients meet at Dina's to go over testimony before heading off to the Israeli District Court on the corner. Palestinians demonstrating in support of Sheikh Raed Salah, the Islamic Movement leader recently sentenced to jail at the District Court for spitting at a police officer, drop by for strong coffee before heading home.
