Israeli Peace Activist Sentenced to 3-Month Term 
-------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile in Israel, the prominent peace activist Jonathan Pollak has
been sentenced to three months in prison for taking part in a bicycle
rally against the Israeli blockade on Gaza three years ago. Pollak is a
founder of the group Anarchists against the Wall, which works with
Palestinians to hold frequent protests in the West Bank. Pollak was
convicted for taking part in a critical mass bike ride through Tel Aviv.
Supporters say Pollak is being targeted for his political involvement.
