Extractions: to the editors. IN A move that shocked Palestinians and many Israelis alike, Israeli border police padlocked the offices of Al Quds University in Jerusalem on July 9, ordering its staff to go home. The order came from right-wing Israeli Public Security Minister Uzi Landau, who claimed that the university was "part of the long arm of the Palestinian Authority operating against the law" in Jerusalem. The reason the move is surprising is because the head of the university is moderate Sari Nusseibeh. Now the Palestinian Liberation Organization representative in Jerusalem, Nusseibeh has called repeatedly for a compromise on the Palestinian refugee right of return in exchange for a peace settlement. His name recently topped the list of Palestinians signing a petition calling for an end to Palestinian armed operations against Israeli civilians. "This is a racist move and in complete violation of the Oslo Accords," raged information minister Yasser Abed Rabbo. Even though those Palestinian-Israeli peace agreements have more or less besen canceled due to Israeli invasions of Palestinian-controlled territory, Israeli authorities also used them to justify the closure. The police warrant, written in Hebrew, said Nusseibeh's office was "operating in violation of the Oslo Accords." Nusseibeh was in Greece at the time of the closure and has yet to comment. However, some Israeli officials have already expressed disapproval. Former justice minister Yossi Sarid called it a "resounding slap in Nusseibeh's face," and said that the closure proved that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "would never forgive anyone on the Palestinian side who seeks peace."

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Capharnaum A B C D ... Z A titular see of Palestine. Its name (also KAPERNAUM) means village of Nahum or consolation. It is frequently mentioned in the Gospels Jesus , when repelled by the Nazarenes , made it His new abode (Matthew 4:13; Luke 4:31; John 2:12); He chose there his first disciples, Peter , Andrew, James, John, Matthew (Matthew 4:18, 21; 9:9; Mark 1:16); He cured there the centurion's servant, Peter's Jesus , on leaving their city, cursed it (Matthew 11:23). Under Constantine the Great, Count Joseph, a converted Jew, built a church there which the pilgrim known as "Pseudo-Antoninus" visited in the sixth century. Since then the town has not been mentioned in the history of Palestine. It was never a Greek see, nor even a Latin one in the Middle Ages . Lequien, it is true (III, 719), quotes a document concerning the ecclesiastical province of Scythopolis in Palestina Secunda, wherein we read: "Ibi sunt adhoc Bethsaida, Naim et Capharnaum, sed alio nomine vocitantur nec habent episcopos". Just when it became a Latin titular see is not known, the title now being held by the coadjutor to the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. Capharnaum must be identified with Tell-Houm on the north bank of the Lake of Tiberias . There are splendid ruins there, chiefly of a magnificent synagogue seventy-two feet long and fifty-four feet wide. In a little convent on this site some Franciscans reside for the reception of pilgrims. According to some archaeologists the site of Capharnaum is not at Tell-Houm, but in the vicinity, on the way to

Extractions: Description Activities In the early 1970s, several groups affiliated with the PLO carried out numerous international terrorist attacks. By the mid-1970s, under international pressure, the PLO claimed it would restrict attacks to Israel and the occupied territories. Several terrorist attacks were later carried out by groups affiliated with the PLO/Fatah, including the Hawari Group, the Palestine Liberation Front, and Force 17, against targets inside and outside Israel. Strength See numbers for affiliated groups. Location/Area of Operation Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem during the 1967 War. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are now administered to varying extents by Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Pursuant to the May 1994 Gaza-Jericho agreement and the September 1995 Interim Agreement, Israel transferred most responsibilities for civil government in the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank to the PA. In January 1996, Palestinians chose their first popularly elected government in democratic elections, which were generally well-conducted. The 88-member Council and the Chairman of the Executive Authority were elected. The PA also has a cabinet of 20 appointed ministers who oversee 23 ministries. PA Chairman Yasir Arafat continues to dominate the affairs of government and to make major decisions. Most senior government positions in the PA are held by individuals who are members of, or loyal to, Arafat's Fatah faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Jerusalem, the city of peace, is still a witness to the great cultural and religious mixture. It is true that the tourism sector, along with the rest of the Palestinian aspects of life, suffered alot during the past decades, and that current efforts are not enough - but let's not forget that progress is being made and the tourism industry in Palestine is getting back to life.
Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Acacius A B C D ... Z Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, disciple and biographer of Eusebius , the historian, whose successor in the See of Caesarea he became in 340. Nothing is known of the date or country of his birth, but he was probably a Syrian; and throughout his life bore the nickname of monophthalmos (one-eyed); no doubt from a personal defect (S. Hier. Viri III., XCVIII), but possibly with a maliciously figurative reference, also, to his general shiftiness of conduct and his rare skill in ambiguous statement. He was a prelate of great learning, a patron of studies (S. Hier., Epist. ad. Marcellam, 141), and was the author of a treatise on Ecclesiastes. He also wrote six books of miscellanies ( symmikta zetemata ) or essays on various subjects which have come down to us only in fragments. The student may consult these fragments in detail in Fabricius, "Bibliotheca Graeca", vii, 336, and ix, 254 sqq. (ed. Harless). He is remembered chiefly for his bitter opposition to St. Cyril of Jerusalem and for the part he was afterwards enabled to play in the more acute stages of the Arian controversy. There is a significant passage in the famous twenty-first oration of
