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?

thank goodness i don't subscribe to u-tube!!

cynic,
Many thanks for the info. Yes, I contacted them and discussed the case. They suggested to wait till result of internal evaluation is reported back to me. Then contact them again.

I had to complain to the internal complain department and wait, let them enjoy, for 4 weeks.

I don't know if they pay anything even if they accept the fault. as most my shares are lower now. At the time, the difference was about 40K.

at least you know the guys i put you in touch with talk common sense - and plain english! .... i am sure they will guide you very well

HANDING THE EXECUTIONER HIS SWORD: AN OPEN LETTER TO EUROPEAN JEWS WHO CONDEMN ISRAEL
There is nothing more pitiful than a condemned man asking his executioner for the sword so that he may do his work for him.
As anti-Semitism rages once again in the blood-soaked lands that contain the ashes of your families, you have committed an act of potential suicide.
Three thousand of you, in a traitorous, backstabbing moment, have signed a petition condemning the State of Israel for its "actions" against the Palestinians.
By that act alone, you have strengthened the hand of the Iranian Hitler and all his cohorts in the Middle East who promise their constituents that they will wipe out every man, woman and child in Israel.
"You see," they now say, "even the Jews themselves agree with us!"
None of our enemies over the last two thousand years could have asked for more justification for their murderous plans than that which you have given Ahmadinejad and Al Qaeda.
After the loss of six million of your brothers and sisters in the lands you foolishly choose to live in, you have learned nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Your blood is on your own heads.
If ever there was a Divine Message to leave the European Galut/Exile, it was delivered between 1939 and 1945.
Fools! The God of Israel has given you a place of refuge, and you do everything you can to undermine it.
In the lifetimes of many of you, you have seen Europe go from a Hitlerean Kristallnacht to synagogues in Berlin now requiring armed guards for the High Holidays.
You French Jews who signed the petition condemning Israel have suddenly forgotten that not so long ago your chief rabbi begged Orthodox Jewish youngsters not to wear their yarmulkes in the street. All around you, Islamic extremists fling Jewish products off the shelves of Parisian stores and throw rocks at Jewish schoolchildren.
One can almost see Herzl walking home at night from the Dreyfus trial with the words "Mort pour les Juife!" - "Death to the Jews!" - ringing in his ears.
Sleep peacefully, Jews of Paris and Berlin. Certainly the countries in which you reside - countries long marinated in murderous anti-Semitism - will provide protection for you the day the Islamic extremists overrun them.
Of course they will.
The lesson of the 1930s screams out to you: The great Revisionist Zionist leader Jabotinsky went from town to town in Europe proclaiming "Jews! My hair is gray with worry over you. You are sitting atop a volcano. Run for your lives!"
The Jews of Europe did not listen then, but they never tried to block their own escape route as you do now.
The economic instability of Europe glares from headlines around the world as rioters rock the streets of Greece while Spain shakes in its boots. It was just this kind of economic crisis that paved the way for Hitler. The Islamofascists living near you see this as their moment. With help from their oil-rich cousins in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, they will offer economic "relief" to the financially strapped European countries to which they have migrated. There will, of course, be strings attached.
While you sign petitions condemning your fellows Jews in Israel, these thugs
will be taking out contracts on your lives.
How dare you!
The world has not let up against us for two thousand years, and now you aid and abet the hand of the enemy by signing a document they can point to in order to justify sending homicide bombers into Israeli pizza shops to murder Jewish children in cold blood.
One day you will beg Israel to grant you refuge from a Europe whose message to you should have been clear seventy years ago. Who knows? Maybe the Haifa harbor will be blockaded once again. Maybe your refugee ships will be turned away as others were in the past.
You are disconnected from reality, and if you do not act now by standing up for your people, you are doomed. You have damaged Israel in the eyes of the world.

Who on earth wrote that load of nonsense?

Someone who cares for the future of European Jewry.

Good post.

Salmon and mushy pea fishcakes ?

or is that a clever bit of rhyming slang for

Salman Rushdie

:-)

i note it's a waitrose recipe, and as with all commercial recipes, there's far too much potato .... this kills the flavour but of course keeps the price down

freezing fishcakes is a disaster too, as they'll just fall apart when thawed and cooked - too high water content

another very good tip for fishcakes is to use a pastry cutter or similar as a "shaper", as that way you can force out all the airbubbles - these too will make the fishcake fall apart when cooked

you're getting confused with salmon rosti which is a different procedure entirely

ISRAEL : We Destroyed Iraq.. Iraq must Stay Divided and Isolated The Oil of Northern Iraq will Flow into Israel!
Wednesday, May 26

Jouhaina News,
Avi Dichter, the Israeli Internal Security Minister, said in a lecture at the Israeli National Security Research Center about the Israeli role in destroying Iraq after it was occupied in 2003 we achieved in Iraq more than we expected and plan! Dichter confirmed that keeping Iraq weak and isolated is an Israeli national interest.

Weakening and isolating Iraq is no less important than weakening and isolating Egypt, he said. Weakening and isolating Egypt done by diplomatic methods while everything is done to do achieve a complete and comprehensive isolation to Iraq, Dachter added.

Iraq has vanished as a military force and as a united country. Our strategic option is to keep it divided, he added.

Our strategic goal is not to allow this country (Iraq) to take its regional and Arabic role back. Iraq must stay divided and isolated from its regional environment he said.
About the role of the Kurdish parties in facilitating occupying Iraq Dichter said the top goal for Israel is to support and provide the Kurds with weapons and training and to make them our partners in security in order to establish a Kurdish independent state in the northern part of Iraq where it can control Kirkuks and Kurdistans oil, he added.

The Kurdish leadership guaranteed to put the oil pipeline from Kirkuk to IBC line through Jordan. We did primary negotiations with Jordan and we reached an agreement with the Kurdish leadership in this regard. If Jordan withdrew his promises we have the substitute: Turkey. We finished putting the plans and studies to establish pipelines for water and oil with Turkey and from Turkey into Israel, he added.

The full transcript of the lecture is below:
Nobody can ignore what we had achieved on this field (Iraq). What was achieved was beyond what we had planned. We have to recall back our primary goals in Iraq since we started interfering in it at the beginning of the seventies of the last century. Our top goal was supporting the Kurds getting benefit from their feeling that they are persecuted ethnicity who have the right to self determination and to enjoy freedom as all other peoples.

At first our colleagues in Israel- who planned for (destroying) Iraq as uri Librani the previous advisor of the ex-prime minister and our ambassador to Turkey and Ethiopia and Iran- defined the core plan for the Israelis to support the Kurds. Our (Israeli) support to the Kurds was humble at the beginning. It was limited to a political support, mentioning the Kurds issue in the international meetings and conferences. We provided the Kurds also with money, but this was limited.

In 1972 this support had taken a security dimensions: providing the Kurds with weapons through Turkey and Iran and receiving Kurdish groups and gorillas for training in Israel and in Turkey and Iran.

After the Kurdish resistance fall apart as a result of the agreement with Iran, the Kurdish leadership went to Turkey, Syria and Israel. Israel for morale reasons had to stay beside the Kurds and support them till they got their national aim in achieving the self-rule in the first stage and the full state independent later on.

I wont talk long but I have to say that now in Iraq theres an independent Kurdish state. This state has people, land, authority, army, economic, oil. This state aims not to limit itself to Kurdistan only but to annex the northern of Iraq also; Kirkuk first, then al-Musel and may be SalahEddin city in addition to Jlolaa and Khankin.

The Kurds cant imagine what had achieved thanks to our support.

Iraq which was in our strategic view the most dangerous challenge after it became a very huge military force. Suddenly Iraq falls apart as a military force and as a country! Iraq, the country which was united, suddenly became divided geographically, and its people is divided, it has now a civil war which led to the death of hundreds of thousands of the Iraqis!
If we watch Iraq since 2003 we would find ourselves in front of more than one perspective:
Iraq is now divided into three areas in spite of the existence of the central government.

do i feel some more recipes coming on?
