Israeli Gaza conflict?????? (GAZA)     

Fred1new - 06 Jan 2009 19:21

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?

Ex-Israeli security chief attacks Netanyahu over Iran
By Tobias Buck in Jerusalem

"The former director of Israel’s internal security service has launched a frontal assault on the Iran policy of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, describing Israel’s current prime minister and defence minister as “messianic” politicians who could not be trusted.

Yuval Diskin, who retired from his high-profile post at the helm of the Shin Bet only last year, told a meeting on Friday: “My major problem is that I have no faith in the current leadership, which must lead us in an event on the scale of war with Iran or a regional war.”

According to an account of the meeting in Haaretz, the Israeli daily, Mr Diskin added: “I don’t believe in either the prime minister or the defence minister. I don’t believe in a leadership that makes decisions based on messianic feelings.”

The harsh comments by Mr Diskin are the latest in a series of open attacks by former security and intelligence officials on the Israeli government over the Iranian nuclear threat.

According to analysts and officials, the criticism suggests that Israel’s defence and security establishment is more reluctant to support military strikes against Iran’s nuclear programme than politicians such as Mr Netanyahu and Mr Barak.”

All the problems in the middle east, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. would be resolved if and if Israel and Palestine would be friends..

I think the two communities can live in peace, like real human. This conflict is costing them, and probably the world, so much.

Disney heiress Abigail disowns her share of family profits in West Bank company

Abigail Disney – filmmaker, philanthropist and great-niece of the legendary animator Walt Disney – has publicly renounced her share of the family profits from an Israeli firm she claims is exploiting "occupied natural resources".

Her decision to donate the profits, as well as funds equal to the value of her shares in the Dead Sea minerals cosmetics firm Ahava, to "groups working to end this illegal exploitation," is a high-profile boost to campaigners against trade with Israeli settlements and companies in the occupied West Bank.

While Ahava's headquarters is in Israel, the company's main factory is in the Jordan Valley settlement of Mitzpe Shalem. The Israeli anti-occupation, non-governmental organisation "Who Profits" has received confirmation from the Israeli military under Freedom of Information legislation that the company is licensed to extract mud from the West Bank section of the Dead Sea coast. Shamrock Holdings, owned by the Disney family, is believed to have an investment worth around $12m in the company.

A statement issued by Ms Disney says this is in "direct contravention" of both the 1907 Hague Convention and the Geneva Convention by exploiting natural resources in occupied territory. Settlements are also considered illegal under international law by most of the international community, including Britain.

Ahava is a well-known Israeli export brand and its skin care products from Dead Sea minerals and mud are also sold in the company's own stores in Germany, Hungary, the Philippines and Singapore.

Ms Disney, 52, said in her statement: "Because of complicated legal and financial constraints I am unable to withdraw my investment at this time but will donate the corpus of the investment as well as the profits accrued to me during the term of my involvement to organisations working to end this illegal exploitation."

BDS campaigners force London Ahava shop to move

from stolen Palestinian natural resources in the occupied West Bank, and are produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem, has been forced to move following a sustained campaign from BDS activists.

A spokeswoman for Shaftesbury PLC, which owns the property that the shop is currently located in, told the Jewish Chronicle: “When Ahava’s lease expires in September, we will not offer them a new one.”

great moral stand - especially when she is so wealthy it will have no impact on her standard of living ..... clearly has no children to deprive either

Haystack - 18 Jul 2012 17:46 - 5973 of 6906

Useful for the publicity as it is being carried across hundreds of media types and locations.

Haystack - 18 Jul 2012 20:04 - 5975 of 6906

Publicity is the most important aspect of it.

A humorous, but informative insightful view of the Wall and its effect on the Palestinians.

Holiday reading.
