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?

This thread has nothing to do with shares or investments of any kind and repesents the mess that that Isreael and Palestine are in, if you read this crap : you will understand the sort of people that are out there : it's just like them : "trouble all round" !, and frankly some of you have a damn cheek using Money AM to spread further discontent among the real bloggers.....

Fred : we don't want to read about the blinkin Rabbi...shove off.....does the rabbi comment on Afren or Encore oil this morning....no....

It is just another topic. We had an election topic, one for MP's expenses, one for football. It is just another non-finance topic.

No, this is an :"activists political thread", it's worse than the BBC promoting : labour broadcasts that are on everytime you switch the tv or radio on...

Left-wing Jewish organizations active in Europe and occupied Palestine say they are preparing to sail a ship to break the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.

The scheduled place and time of departure will be announced shortly before the date to avoid the any disruptions or obstacles in the way of its sailing, the organizations said Sunday.

The announcement comes at a time when the Israeli foreign ministry is launching a media campaign aimed at beautifying Israels image to the global community after a massacre it led against the Turkish Marmara ship on May 31.

Israeli businessmen expressed fears that the European campaign to boycott Israeli products could widen after a sharp decline in exports.

The Israeli Maariv newspaper on Sunday published a report on the dangers of growing economic boycott of Israeli products in Europe in which it affirmed that the recent months have seen a rise in the number of European companies which withdrew their investments in Israeli companies for political reasons.

Israeli businessman Daniel Bettini, an owner of glass factory in Ariel settlement, said the boycott campaign caused enormous harm to Israel's factories which depend on exports to Europe.

The newspaper quoted Avi Ben-Zvi, who also owns a factory of glass in the same settlement, as saying that his factory stopped exporting its products to Europe because of this campaign.

Maariv also listed examples of the European parties and companies that boycotted Israel economically after pro-Palestinian pressure groups active in Europe urged them to end their business ties with Israeli companies involved in serious human rights violations against Palestinians.

Let's not discourage haybrain and his puppy freddie from copy and pasting everything negative to Israel. After all, what else would they do with their time, how else would they get their rocks off, w**k?

People also post things positive about Israel as well.

Hays,

I quite agree.

I like Israeli singing.















It reminds me of Welsh Choirs.

Hi JKD

I do remember postings from you, and they were always thoughtful and interesting. I mainly use ADVFN now, which has some very well informed posters.

I may be wrong but I have a funny feeling by your style of writing that we hold some of the same stocks and contribute to the same threads over there.

More than 150 Israeli academics say they will no longer lecture or work in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

In a letter, they said they supported the recent decision by a group of actors and others not to take part in cultural activity there.

The academics said that acceptance of the settlements caused "critical" damage to Israel's chances of achieving peace with the Palestinians.

The actors were criticised for refusing to perform at a new cultural centre.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the last thing Israel needed as it resumed direct peace talks was a boycott from within.

In a letter published on Sunday, the academics said they would no longer take part in any kind of cultural activity, or lecture in any kind of academic setting, in settlements built on land occupied following the Middle East war - demarcated by what is commonly known as the "Green Line".

They explained that they wanted to show support and solidarity for the 53 actors, writers and directors who last week said they would not take part in performances at the new cultural centre built in Ariel.

"We'd like to remind the Israeli public that, like all settlements, Ariel is also in occupied territory," the academics said.

"If a future peace agreement with the Palestinian authorities puts Ariel within Israel's borders, then it will be treated like any other Israeli town."

"Legitimatisation and acceptance of the settler enterprise cause critical damage to Israel's chances of achieving a peace accord with its Palestinian neighbours."

Close to 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. They are considered illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.

A separate letter, signed by a number of well-known Israeli authors and artists, is expected to be published in the coming days.

The killings of 4 Israelis by the "armed wing" of Hamas is appalling.

If it is as reported it was murder and I hope those who were responsible are apprehended.

Unfortunately, it could have been expected by the exclusion of Hamas from the proposed "peace" negotiation.

It has not advanced the Palestinians' case and besides being murder is an act of stupidity.

with apologies to others for being off topic, i dont go over there so it isnt me.
good luck to you.
back to topic.
regards to all

FFS, Hamas refuse to talk to Israel and demand its destruction (just like haybrain et al) and Hamas has condemned Abbas as a traitor for talking to Israel.
No doubt haybrain et al are thrilled at four people being deliberately murdered, including a pregnant woman - he must be orgasmic at the thought.

jkd
My apologies, you just had a similar writing style to someone else.
Apologies for going off this riveting topic!

I will let the pointless arguments here re-commence.

imho

Bye

Good post from you Fred on the Hamas murders. Continue with such balance and you may go up on my estimation :) Wonder if we will get something similar from Haystack.

fred is pretending to be "balanced" as every other post he has made is anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian and pro-terrorist (no, not all Palestinians are terrorists, the majority are decent people who rightly want a state of their own).
He is merely dissembling because he thinks that will add weight to his anti-Israel (and anti-Semitic) ramblings, as in, "ooo, look at me, I'm objective, unlike my mate haybrain so you can believe in what I say".
Don't be so easily fooled - though being deceived happens to all of us.....I once thought Blair was a decent man and believed his lies about WMD !

I did say "may go up" if he continued.....

Fair enough :)
Whereas haybrain asks "why should I be objective", fred doesn't have anything but the remotest and most transient relationship with objectivity.
I suppose even the worst people have some redeeming feature, however insignificant. Hitler was supposed to be fond of dogs, for example........
