Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

On that grounds one would "could" consider the Israeli government as irrational, as it is violent to a "non-Jewish" section of its own population and imprisoning dissenters.

Just a simple question, where does "own people" end and racialism begin?

Hays,

Can you tell me what Israeli "administrative detention" is and how many individuals are held under this law without trial?

Fred
Just more red herrings from you. even the other Arab countries are terrified of Iran having neuclear weapons.

The Arab administrations (?democratic) or the people?

But you haven't answered the question.

You may be using the dismissive unquestioning argument "it is obvious why", but it isn't.

With the present obviously aggressive, expansionistic, Zionistic fundamentalist political grouping within Israels governing Administration body of Israel it would seem to me that the surrounding countries are on their guard and wish to protect themselves from that aggression.

We can see that Israel does not respect International Law.

Some of the countries may feel the wish to protect their country and oil reserves, which others think they have the automatic right to.

Israeli government warns its ministers not to visit Britain.

Surely not all the Israeli's government are guilty at of War Crimes?


Or are they?

I think all are guilty some of them more than the others.

Fahel,

It is Xmas.

I give them my forgivness as God requested us to do so, also I pray for God to save and keep all away from sickness and give them a good health. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and your Family.

Xmas is a Roman pagan festival highjacked by the RC church to suppress it. It has no religious importance and is just a festival to have a good time, expecially for children.

Fahel,

Thank you for your Xmas salutation and I wish you the same.
It is a shame that some seem to lack the propensity to identify and act on the sentiment contained in it. This is apparent in the words and actions of some of the present leadership in the Middle East and other areas of the world.

Hays,

Like you I am an atheist, but I do recognise that Xmas, for many, is symbolic of a period of goodwill, and generosity and more importantly tolerance and understanding of other people and their beliefs and values. The latter being just as valid as your own and held just as strongly.

Whether, or not, Xmas is celebrated at the timing of previous pagan ceremonies, is probably irrelevant to the majority Christians, or those who celebrate Xmas as being simply symbolic of families and friends coming together.

Probably, it is the sentiment which surrounds this period which is important.

PS. The giving of an "object" to somebody and generosity to that person are not necessarily the same thing.

In 1931, the Coca Cola Corporation contracted the Swedish commercial artist Haddon Sundblom to create a coke-drinking Santa. Sundblom modeled his Santa on his friend Lou Prentice, chosen for his cheerful, chubby face. The corporation insisted that Santas fur-trimmed suit be bright, Coca Cola red. And Santa was born a blend of Christian crusader, pagan god, and commercial idol.

So what!

Adsorb the good part of what have become customs or mores and reject the less palatable or acceptable.

One doesnt have to go along with the customs or what is considered fashionable. You can stick to your contrarian views, if you wish.

Happy XMAS.

PS Wicky is wicked!

Congratulations to Israel for finishing the year on a peaceful note:


One can understand why Iran doesn't trust America and the West and may wish to have nuclear armaments.




World 'failed Gaza over Israeli blockade' - aid groups
By Tim Franks
BBC News, Jerusalem

Palestinians in Gaza
Aid agencies say the world community must put more pressure on Israel

Aid agencies have strongly criticised the international community for failing to help bring an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza.

The charities made the accusation in a report published just ahead of the anniversary of Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The aid agencies condemn not just Israel, but the world community.

In the words of Oxfam's director, Jeremy Hobbs, "world powers have failed and betrayed Gaza's ordinary citizens".

The charities call for more pressure to be exerted on Israel to end what they describe as its illegal collective punishment of Gazans.

I am not certain whether you can download the documentary described below.

Interesting insight in to the mechanics of some of the Zionist thinking and their continuing abuses of Gaza.

True Stories: Defamation

Tuesday 12 January

Yoav Shamir's examination of anti-Semitism in this provocative Michael Moore-style film whisks him from the Anti-Defamation League HQ in New York to Jerusalem and Auschwitz, where his experiences visiting the former concentration camp with a group of Israeli school kids leads him to the controversial idea that anti-Semitism might be a conspiracy of the Jews and not against them. It will doubtless cause outrage in certain quarters but even so you may agree with his conclusion that "too much emphasis on the past is holding us back".
