The status of Jerusalem and the Palestinians\' "right of return" will both be major "core issues" discussed at the US-sponsored Middle East conference that begins today.',700,700);)

Asked about the outcome of the US-sponsored Annapolis peace conference which is being held today, Mr. Alawi said, "They will only drink coffee, and return with nothing."',700,700);)

 and a wide variety of Jewish religious candelabras. The status of Jerusalem, a city revered by the world\'s three monotheistic religions, will be one of the major \'core issues\' at the US-sponsored Middle East conference to take place in Annapolis, Maryland next week. ',700,700);)

Jewish settlements is one of the major issues for the Annapolis conference, but this settlement is so huge - known as "facts on the ground" that construction will never be frozen, nor will it ever be returned to Palestinian ownership.',700,700);)

 and Palestinian Prime Minister Salem Fayyad, as he announces in a Jerusalem press conference that four large economic projects will get underway to improve the lives of the Palestinian people. All three in their joint press conference spoke with open optimism of the US-sponsored Middle East conference to be held in Annapolis, Maryland.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nMr. Blair has shown significant results in the short time since taking on his new job, but a short, small gesture, appropriate to the Holy Land, tells it all concerning finding lasting Peace in this small corner of the world. On to Annapolis, with fingers crossed.',700,700);)

, the Director of the Yad Vashem Memorial, and Josef Chaim Kaufamn, a Holocaust survivor from Belgium, during a ceremony in the \'Hall of Remembrances\' in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem on 15 November 2007. Yevtushenko later was honored to lay a wreath in memory to the six-million Jews exterminated by the Nazis during World War II. Yevtushenko, born in 1933, published his famous poem against anti-antisemitism, \'Babi Yar,\' in 1961 and is internationally renowned also as a novelist, film maker and director. He currently teaches literature and cinema in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the U.S. <br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nI couldn\'t resist putting out this picture of a poet who obviously considers himself a sharp dresser and wants to look sharp for the ceremony.',700,700);)

, who has his arm around, who has his arm around Rice, as they walk out from their joint press conference in Ramallah, West Bank on 05 November 2007.

![](javascript:doblowup('Condi Demo 2','/images/uploaded/up_BZhdE9.jpg','A protester wearing a Condoleezza Rice mask joins a demonstration against what they claim are israel\'s \'Apartheid\' policies concerning a road that links Jerusalem, through the West Bank, with a large israeli city called Modi\'in, mid-way between israel and Jerusalem. Palestinians and international supporters held the peaceful protest on a major road, called Highway 443, near the West Bank town of Beit Ur on 04 November 2007. They ask what the the US anti-segregation protester Rosa Parks would have done concerning Israel\'s policy that only Israelis are allowed to use the road, which is built on Palestinian territory inside the West Bank. <br />\r\n++++++++++++++<br />\r\nIt was interesting to see mention of Rosa Parks at this demo - obviously an influence of the international supporters who join these protests for Palestinian rights. The got the spelling correct on the banners and placards, but they have so many so-called photographers - both still and video, that they get in the way of the "working press." many are out to document brutality and I doubt more than a close circle of their friends see any of the material. It\'s like, "what I did on my holiday" to promote a useful cause.......',700,700);)

 and Xhemal Veseli sheltered two Jewish families in their home during the Italian occupation of Albania and then moved the Jewish parents to caves in the hills when the German Nazis occupied Albania, keeping the children in their family as their own. They sheltered the Jews for nine months until liberation. Gershman worked on the project for four years. Besa in Albanian means \'to keep the promise,\' or keep one\'s word.',700,700);)
