 Secondo un'altro giornale, the Guardian, solo l'opposizione 
dell'Italia, definita 'il miglior amico europeo di Israele', avrebbe 
impedito la pubblicazione del documento.

Secret EU report launches scathing attack on Israel 
 By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
 Published: 25 November 2005
 European governments should consider direct intervention in an attempt 
to curb the systematic measures being undertaken by Israel to increase 
its control and population in the historically - and legally - Arab 
eastern sector of Jerusalem, a highly sensitive EU report concludes.
 The confidential report, prepared by top diplomats representing the 25 
EU governments in the city, warns that the chances of a two-state 
solution are being eroded by Israel's "deliberate policy" - in breach of 
international of law - of "completing the annexation of East Jerusalem".
European Foreign Ministers this week vetoed planned publication of the 
report - which also warns that rapid expansion of Jewish settlements in 
and around East Jerusalem, along with use of the separation barrier to 
isolate East Jerusalem from the West Bank, "risk radicalising the 
hitherto relatively quiescent Palestinian population of East Jerusalem".
The report provides the most detailed and remorselessly critical account 
yet produced by a Western international body of Israel's policy in East 
Jerusalem, which has been occupied since its seizure in the 1967 Six Day 
War. It points out that Jerusalem "is already one of the trickiest 
issues" on the road to a final peace deal between Israel and the 
Palestinians. It adds that, as a result of the measures, "prospects for 
a two state solution with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine are 
receding".
Among the recommendations in the report, drafted in October during the 
British EU presidency which ends next month, the EU is urged to consider 
a series of steps including direct support for projects that help 
Palestinians to conduct legal battles against house demolitions, which 
it points out tripled in the city during 2004, and the persistent 
refusal to grant building permits to all but a small minority of 
Palestinians. The report also suggests holding meetings with the 
Palestinian leadership in East Jerusalem, presumably to demonstrate that 
- contrary to the Israeli government's goal of Jerusalem as its 
"undivided capital" - it sees East Jerusalem as the future capital of a 
Palestinian state.
The EU foreign ministers' meeting was widely reported in Israel to have 
decided against publication of the report in its present form because of 
the risk to its relationship with the Jewish state especially when for 
the first time Israel has given its blessing to the EU having a key 
security role in the region by monitoring the Rafah crossing point from 
Gaza into Egypt. The EU will be represented at senior level at a 
ceremonial opening of the crossing by the Palestinian President Mahmoud 
Abbas today.
The 11-page report, leaked to The Independent, says the E1 project for a 
major expansion of Ma'ale Adumim, the largest Israeli West Bank 
settlement, to join it to Jerusalem "threatens to complete the 
encircling of the city by Jewish settlements, dividing the West Bank 
into two separate geographical areas." It says that, while the present 
30,000 residents of the settlement at present occupy only 15 per cent of 
the planned area, the total plan envisages an area of 53 square miles - 
"larger than Tel Aviv" - extending through the West Bank between 
Jerusalem and Jericho.
While the plans will divide the West Bank from itself and from East 
Jerusalem, the report says "the economic prospects of the West Bank 
[which has a GDP per year per head of $1,000] are highly dependent on 
access to East Jerusalem [GDP of $3,500]. It adds: "From an economic 
perspective, the viability of a Palestinian state depends to a great 
extent on the preservation of organic links between East Jerusalem, 
Ramallah and Bethlehem".
The document says when the separation barrier is completed, Israel will 
"control all access to and from East Jerusalem, cutting off its 
Palestinian satellite cities of Bethlehem and Ramallah, and the rest of 
the West Bank beyond. This will have serious economic, social and 
humanitarian consequences for the Palestinians. By vigorously applying 
policies on residency and ID status, Israel will be able finally to 
complete the isolation of East Jerusalem - the political commercial and 
infrastructural centre of Palestinian life."
It adds: "Israel's activities in Jerusalem are in violation of both its 
Roadmap obligations and international law. We and others in the 
international community have made our concerns clear on numerous 
occasions with varying effect. Palestinians are, without exception, 
deeply alarmed about East Jerusalem. They fear that Israel will 'get 
away with it' under cover of disengagement [from Gaza]." The document 
says smaller Jewish settlements inside Palestinian areas are sometimes 
installed by would-be settlers "preying on Palestinians suffering 
financial hardship or simply [occupying] properties by force".
Besides suggesting that a formal call by the EU and the US-led 
international quarter on Israel to stop prejudicing final status 
negotiations by its actions in East Jerusalem would be "timely", one 
proposal is for the EU to consider "excluding East Jerusalem from 
certain EU/Israel joint co-operation activities." While the document 
does not say so, this could realistically mean halting European funding 
for road, rail and projects which contribute to the process of 
annexation.
The reports says the purpose of keeping West Bank ID holders out of East 
Jerusalem and East Jerusalem ID holders out of the West Bank "is almost 
certainly demographic , to reduce the Palestinian population of 
Jerusalem while exerting efforts to boost the number of Israelis living 
in the city - East and West."

Ma l'articolo copiaincollato e'dell'Independent, orbo. 
Cosi' sono due giornali diversi che pubblicano la stessa notizia, con 
600.000 copie vendute in totale in UK.
Ma certo per un Napoleone della Diffamzione come te non e' un problema.
Li hai attaccati tutti i giornali. 
Si vede che per te come per i nazi, le notizie devono essere dette per 
radio o per TV, dal dittatore stesso. Allora si' che ti prosterni.
Grunfete, grunfete. Continua a frugare nelle fungaie, forse una bella 
tibia la trovi, Gollum.

 600.000 copie vendute in totale in UK.
Repubblica,da sola,ne vende una cifra simile.

Alla stampa italiana non sembra ancora arrivata...
Ma capisco che se non e' roba autarchica non ti fidi.

Commento che non ha nessuna attinenza col quotato, as usual.

 qualche pregiudizio verso l' italica stampa Amalric ?
Direi di no. Vatti a rileggere i tuoi post precedenti, Mago Bagonghi.
Vedrai che la tempesta nel bicchier d'aqua l'hai tirata fuori tu.
Pero' se vuoi tornare all'edicola e ai tempi pre-internet, fai pure una 
proposta al moderatore. 
Quando hai finito di leggere il Corriere dello Sport, il top della 
distribuzione italiana.

 Direi di no.
