    Middle East Notes Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns September 27, 2012 Find previous weeks’ Middle East Notes here. Please note: Opinions expressed in the following articles do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns. This week’s articles focus on the two-state/one-state debate; procrastination on a peace plan; the use of the Oslo Accords to promote apartheid; responses and reactions from Palestinian, Israeli, and U.S. American Jewish sources to the Romney video comments on the Palestinians; “warehousing;” a peace- less status quo; and other issues. September 21, 2012 Churches for Middle East Bulletin: This week’s Bulletin gives attention to the 1967 borders, the two-state solution, the peace plan, and other issues. In new video, Romney says Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel: In Ha’aretz, Natasha Mozgovaya and the Associated Press write that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was caught on video telling donors that the Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel, and that they are committed to its destruction and elimination. Palestinians condemn Romney for suggesting they aren’t interested in peace: Ha’aretz printed an article from the Associated Press and Reuters noting that Palestinians leaders have denounced Romney’s remarks. Americans for Peace Now (APN) calls on Romney to repudiate anti-Israel comments: APN decries Romney’s statements suggesting that peace is not possible and that therefore the U.S. should “kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.” “A message from Romnyahu”: In this recent column, Uri Averny notes that Romney stated that “the Palestinians” want to destroy Israel.

There’s more excitement in store this week as the NFL kicks off the second quarter of its season with a bunch of intriguing games including a pair of always interesting NFC East matchups as the Washington Redskins visit the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys are hosted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington all earned impressive victories in Week 4 – while the New York Giants had a bye – including the Eagles’ 31-9 win over Green Bay on Monday night, highlighted by a four-touchdown performance from quarterback DONOVAN MC NABB. After missing significant playing time due to injury a year ago, McNabb leads the NFL with nine touchdown passes, including his 45-and 30-yard touchdown strikes on Monday, and is on pace for a career-best 36. “I looked up on some of the highlights and I saw Peyton Manning score, so I had to outdo him,” says McNabb of his career-best two rushing touchdowns against the Packers. “We have to focus on the mistakes we made in this game and try to eliminate them.
