“We are not seeking to delegitimize Israel, but rather establish a state that should be established: Palestine,” Abbas said

(AP) UNITED NATIONS – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of ethnic cleansing Thursday for 온라인카지노 building settlements in east Jerusalem. “It is a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people via the demolition of their homes,” Abbas said in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly. Shortly after, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked Abbas in his own address to the assembly. “We won’t solve our conflict with libelous speeches at the U.N.,” Netanyahu said. Israel rejects criticism of settlementsIran overshadows Palestinian issue at U.N.Israeli defense chief proposes West Bank pullout Israel captured the eastern part of Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Mideast War. It later annexed it but the move has not been internationally recognized. The Palestinians want east Jerusalem to the capital of their future state in the West Bank. Abbas also said he has opened talks on a new bid for international recognition at the U.N., but didn’t specify exactly when he will ask the General Assembly to vote. “Intensive consultations with the various regional organizations and the state members” were underway, he said. The Palestinians will apply to the General Assembly for nonmember state status. That stands in sharp contrast to last year, when they asked the Security Council to admit them as a full member state, but the bid failed. Abbas insisted that the new quest for recognition was “not seeking...

In headier reads, Susan Orlean’s “Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend” is available Tuesday

(CBS) Last week we plowed through most of the new shows hitting television. This week there are three, starting with the two-hour “Terra Nova” premiere on Fox. If you haven’t seen the gargantuan trailers floating around the Interwebs, the show stars “Avatar” bad guy Stephen Lang and Jim O’Mara. One of the many executive producers is Steven Spielberg, which makes sense because this is a dinosaur-heavy tale. Short version: In 2149, Earth is less and less inhabitable. Via time travel, humans are being transported back 85 million years to an unspoiled planet. Expect special effects and…dinosaurs. Other shows debuting this week are “Hart of Dixie” on Monday, starring Rachel Bilson as a yankee doctor 현금 포커 who takes a job south of the Mason-Dixon; “Suburgatory,” a single-camera comedy starring Jeremy Sisto and airing on Wednesday; and “How to be a Gentleman,” starring David Hornsby and the erstwhile Johnny Drama, Kevin Dillon. Pictures: The CBS seasonPictures: The NBC seasonPictures: The ABC season On the big screen, the heavily-promoted and thus far well received “50/50,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young man with cancer, Seth Rogen as his best friend and Anna Kendrick as an illness counselor, opens Friday. Also opening is “Margaret,” starring Anna Paquin as a high school student who witnesses a fatal traffic accident and feels responsible for causing it. And for the one Josh Hartnett fan still...

Let’s wait until the decorations go up

Critic David Edelstein previews the latest offerings from Hollywood, and finds even the comedies are grim: Glum though I am about the end of summer, with fall comes … no superhero movies! And no 3-D! Well, a lot less, which means fewer headaches, so sell your Tylenol stock. Fall opened strong last Friday with “Moneyball,” and next Friday brings another bright comedy called “50/50,” after hero Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s odds of surviving his spinal cancer. Yes, it’s grim, too, obviously. But the film is less about his illness than other peoples’ dumb behavior in the face of it. And in the case of Anna Kendrick as his novice therapist, she’s so lovably dumb you’re almost happy a horrific disease helped ’em meet cute. More downbeat than the cancer movie is “Take Shelter,” from brilliant young director Jeff Nichols, about a man played by Michael Shannon ravaged by visions of apocalypse. It’s arty and creepy and as barmy as its hero in the end. But it might just capture the national mood. The downbeat goes on in George Clooney’s latest as director and actor, a political melodrama called “The Ides of March,” starring Ryan Gosling as a campaign aide to lefty presidential candidate Clooney whose high ideals plummet to Earth, don’t cha know, when it’s time to win. I like the first half, before all that smug cynicism. Hollywood’s money is...
