Al-Fayed: Royals wanted to ‘get rid’ of Diana

"(Princess Diana) told me personally both before and during the holiday we shared in July 1997 of her fears," al-Fayed said in a written statement to the court. "She told me that she knew Philip and Prince Charles wanted to get rid of her."

Hamas invites France FM Kouchner to visit Gaza

"A spokesman for the Islamic Hamas Movement in Gaza has invited France Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner to visit the Gaza Strip."

Nazi acts…by Jewish hands

"There is no doubt that the cold-blooded extermination by the Israeli air-force of an entire Palestinian family in Gaza on Friday, 15, was a monstrous crime not unlike Nazi atrocities during World War II. The only difference lies in the fact that the Nazis did it “wholesale” while their ideological descendants, the Zionists, are doing the same thing by retail."

More than one-third of settlements built on private Palestinian land

"More than one-third of Israel's 122 West Bank settlements were built on land confiscated from private Palestinian owners on security grounds, including some erected after the Israeli Supreme Court outlawed such seizures three decades ago, the Haaretz newspaper reported on Monday."

The New Auschwitz

"According to Gideon Polya, based on UNESCO data, the US invasion of Afghanistan has led to as many as 6.6 million unnecessary deaths. According to Washburn University law professor Liaquat Ali Khan, the “crime of genocide applies to the intentional killings that NATO troops commit on a weekly basis in the poor villages and mute mountains of Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban.” The occupation forces, which ironically include former Axis powers Germany and Japan, have created the New Auschwitz."

A "Real" Comprehensive Economic Revitalization Plan

"America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in human history through low taxes, constitutionally limited government, personal freedom and a belief in sound money. We need to return to these principles so our economy can thrive again."

Anti-Zionism & Anti-Israelism is now Anti-Semitism

"Campus Anti-Semitism reports that many college campuses throughout the United States continue to experience incidents of anti-Semitism, a serious problem warranting further attention. Anti-Israeli or anti-Zionist propaganda has been disseminated on many campuses that include traditional anti-Semitic elements, including age-old anti-Jewish stereotypes and defamation. For example claiming that the Jew are responsible for the killing of Christ or alleging that Zionism is racism."

Bahraini paper slams US, UNSC policies

"A Bahraini paper points out and condemns US and UNSC double-standard policies on Iran's nuclear activities and the Israeli atrocities in Gaza."

Israel: a cancer on Jewish conscience

"Palestinians are effectively incarcerated. The overwhelming majority can't leave or enter Gaza. Without fuel and spare parts, public health conditions are declining steeply as water and sanitation services struggle to function. The electricity supply is sporadic and has been reduced further along with fuel supply in these past days. UNICEF reports that the partial functioning of Gaza City's main pumping station is effecting the supply of 600,000 people. Medication is in short supply and hospitals are paralyzed by power failures and the shortage of fuel for generators. Hospital infrastructure and essential pieces of equipment are breaking down at an alarming rate, with limited possibility of repair or maintenance as spare parts are not available. Concrete is in such short supply that people are unable to make graves for their dead. Hospitals are handing out sheets as funeral shrouds."

And, the world stands by in silence because the atrocites sited above are being committed by "God's Chosen People."

Gaza's last gasp

"John Dugard, UN special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Palestinian territories said that "The killing of some 40 Palestinians in Gaza in the past week, the targeting of a government office near a wedding party venue with what must have been foreseen loss of life and injury to many civilians, and the closure of all crossings into Gaza raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its commitment to the peace process.""

Capitol Hill Honor for Muslim Hero

"New York's young Muslim hero who defended a group of Jewish subway passengers from a racist attack is being honored with an invitation to attend President George Bush's State of the Union address at Capitol Hill."

Turkish PM: Qassam rockets don't kill, Israel does

"Relations between Israel and Turkey have become very tense in the last two days, after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that no Israelis have been killed by Qassam missiles, while every Israel Defense Forces attack in the Gaza Strip kills dozens of Palestinians."

Paul Wolfowitz named to chair U.S. advisory panel

"Paul Wolfowitz, an architect of the Iraq war who was forced to resign from the World Bank because of an ethics scandal, will chair a U.S. advisory panel on arms control, the State Department said on Thursday."

The turd that won't flush...

The Strangulation of the Palestinians in Gaza

"The failure on the part of Israel to grasp that this kind of brutal force is deeply counterproductive is perhaps understandable given the demonization of Arabs, and especially Palestinians, in Israeli society. The failure of Washington to intervene -- especially after President Bush's hollow words about peace days before the new fighting began -- is baffling. "

That's what happens when a "Judeo-Christian" nation becomes more Judeo than Christian...

The Sanctions Trap

"The "sanctions trap" is built upon the principles of hubris and procedure, not reason and fact. This is the reason the Bush administration continues to invest so heavily in this process, and why in the end the "sanctions trap," if not prematurely sprung, will in the end lead us to war with Iran ."

Louisiana GOP: Ron Paul stands 2nd

Lethal ecstasy pills sold in Israel

"The discovery was made after an Israeli and three Japanese citizens were arrested in Holland in possession of 50,000 pills that appeared to be regular ecstasy."

If the deadly Ecstasy pills are in Israel and Holland, they're in the US.

US diplomats harassed at Israeli checkpoints

"American diplomats continued this week to raise the Civil Administration's ire over their continued refusal to open their car doors or windows and present identification when crossing from Israel into the West Bank."

Deal completed for tax rebates in June

"Congressional leaders completed a deal Thursday with the White House on an economic stimulus package that would give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200, and more if they have children."

Troops felled by a 'trust gap'

"Many in the military are unclear who's in charge or what the overall strategy is. This lack of faith in the nation's most senior commanders - such as in Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Navy Admiral Michael Mullen, who would be czar - by those who actually have to give the orders that send soldiers to their deaths has created a "trust gap". And it is this, not the Iraqi insurgency, that is killing the American military."

Going bankrupt: The US's greatest threat

"A "guns over butter" mentality entrenched in the US political system since the start of the Cold War is starting to cause havoc in the nation which has the largest defense budget in the world, as well as having the largest trade deficit. The US's short tenure as the world's "lone superpower" is over and most of the damage can never be repaired, although trimming the US$1.1 trillion expected to be invested in the Pentagon this year would be a start."

Lies, lies and more lies

"Lewis' Center for Public Integrity in the US has just released a mammoth report saying key players in the George W Bush administration, including the president, made at least 935 false statements in the run-up to and aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. "This Iraq chronology calls into question the repeated assertions of Bush administration officials that they were merely the unwitting victims of bad intelligence," says Lewis."

Crying (Iranian) wolf in Argentina

"For 13 years the US and Argentina have charged that Iran was behind the fatal fire-bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. In November, reported pressure from the two governments led Interpol to "red list" five former Iranian officials and a Hezbollah leader for allegedly masterminding the attack. But a FBI agent and top US diplomats now say no real evidence was ever produced and any link with Iran was at best "flimsy"."

Obama: Israel was "forced" to place Gaza under siege

"All of us are concerned about the impact of closed border crossings on Palestinian families. However, we have to understand why Israel is forced to do this... Israel has the right to respond while seeking to minimize any impact on civilians."

Just one of the many reasons why Barak doesn't get my vote ~ He's just another one of Israel's whores.

17 Palestinians killed in Gaza violence

Israeli tanks, bulldozers, and helicopter gunships ~ how can the world see this as anything but murder?

Dollar tumbles after retail sales drop

Israel's "back of the bus" rule sparks religious row

"Every time Israeli student Iris Yoffe takes the bus to Jerusalem, she has to be ready for abuse from ultra-Orthodox Jews who say she should be kept off because she's wearing trousers."

And you thought it was only those "extremist" Muslims that treated women as second class citizens, didn't you?

Citigroup loses almost $10B, slashes dividend

"Citigroup Inc. lost almost $10 billion in last year's final three months, the largest quarterly deficit in the bank's 196-year history, and slashed its dividend as it recorded a mammoth write-down for bad bets on the mortgage industry."

Half of Gazans killed by IDF not involved in terror

"...an examination by Haaretz reveals that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces was 816 during those two years, and that of them, 360 were civilians who were not affiliated with any armed organizations. Data from B'Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization, show that 152 of the casualties were under age 18, and 48 were under the age of 14."

The "Israeli Murder Force" is particularly effective when waging war against defenseless women and children.

Less Than Human

January 2002: Suspects are processed at Camp X-Ray, Guantanamo, using the Kubark sensory deprivation technique.

"Around the world, Guantánamo is viewed as a stain on the honor and reputation of the United States. It stands as visual evidence of a decision by the United States to repudiate its human rights commitments and the human rights standards that every modern American administration up to the arrival of George W. Bush had championed."

Gulf prankster possible message source

"A threatening radio message at the end of a video showing Iranian patrol boats swarming near U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf may have come from a prankster rather than from the Iranian vessels, the Navy Times newspaper has reported."

Some prank... ~ And, who, pray-tell could possibly be the prankster? Who, could possibly benefit from a war between the US and Iran?

Any country come to mind?

Britain, US in talks on international criminal database: police

Citigroup Could Write Down Up to $24 Billion

"Citigroup could write down as much as $24 billion due to subprime and credit-related losses, CNBC has learned. In addition, the company could lay off as many as 20,000 workers as part of a comprehensive plan to slash costs and raise capital."

GIRLS are starting to hit puberty at the age of THREE.

"Shocked doctors blame hormones in food and water for some British toddlers showing signs of breast growth. Other pre-school youngsters even experience periods that normally start in their teens – and have temper tantrums just like adolescents."

Captain Ahab and the Islamic whale

"This is a splendid example of what is fundamentally wrong with US foreign policy, like a giant whale self-stranding in a maze of contradictions yet breathing as if exuding fresh air. Washington's Captain Ahab, in the garb of President George W Bush, setting foot in the Middle East, holds the olive branch of Middle East peace in one hand and the Damocles sword of Iran-bashing in the other, a twin agenda in complete disharmony."

Israel to get "smarter" US-made bombs than Saudis

"The United States has agreed in principle to provide Israel with better "smart bombs" than those it plans to sell Saudi Arabia under a regional defence package, senior Israeli security sources said on Sunday."

Candidates’ Unconditional Support Isn’t Right for Jewish State

"Each of the main contenders emphatically favors giving Israel extraordinary material and diplomatic support — continuing the more than $3 billion in foreign aid each year to a country whose per capita income is now 29th in the world. They also believe that this aid should be given unconditionally. None of them criticizes Israel’s conduct, even when its actions threaten U.S. interests, are at odds with American values or even when they are harmful to Israel itself. In short, the candidates believe that the U.S. should support Israel no matter what it does."

Bush Mideast speech draws cool response

"You have all types of contradictions," Shorbagy said. "Talking about freedom when you're occupying two countries in the region: Afghanistan and Iraq. Talking about justice while you're against the (Palestinian) right of return. Talking about democracy while you're against elected groups you don't like...Was he listening to himself?"

Israel won't accept nuke weapons in Iran

"Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told a powerful parliamentary panel on Monday that Israel rejects "no options" to block Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, a meeting participant said."

Hey Israel, I hear you talking the talk ~ now let's see you walk the walk. I think you'll find quick, fast, and in a big as* hurry that Iran is much different than the defenseless Palestinians that you murder on a daily basis.

"Filipino Monkey" source of US radio threat?

"In recent years, American ships operating in the Middle East have had to contend with a mysterious but profane voice known by the ethnically insulting handle of “Filipino Monkey,” likely more than one person, who listens in on ship-to-ship radio traffic and then jumps on the net shouting insults and jabbering vile epithets."

Gaza parents not allowed to accompany ill children into Israel

Excellent piece from Haaretz.com TV
