<Can the King Dollar stay high & gold also low in the face of a new age trade war?> No. It has to reverse in a dramatic fashion ultimately. I welcome the CB's divesting ALL their gold holdings here "to save the Dow." Ultimately, that won't work. And deep down, they know it.

Land Day translates into violence in Mideast Friday, March 30, 2001 12:47 PM EST TEL AVIV, Israel, Mar 30, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Three men were killed and dozens of other people were injured Friday as Israeli Arab Land Day protests corresponded with an Palestinian call for a "day of rage" and resulted in widespread confrontations between Israeli soldiers and demonstrators. Palestinians sources said that hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated throughout the Gaza Strip and West Bank following Friday's weekly Muslim prayer services and the protests already planned to mark the 25th anniversary of Land Day, the day Israel confiscated land belonging to Israeli Arabs. Demonstrators waved Iraqi and Palestinian flags and chanted slogans against the United States and Israel. They also burned Israeli flags and pictures of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The demonstrations turned to bloody confrontations when the Palestinian demonstrators reached the areas occupied by Israeli soldiers. The Palestinians pelted the soldiers with stones and the Israelis responded by firing rubber bullets and tear gas. Palestinian medical sources said that one Palestinian was killed in Ramallah when he was shot in the head and that more than 10 others were shot and injured. The two other deaths occurred near Nablus in the West Bank, where two Palestinians died from gunshot wounds. A member of the Hamas militant group, brandishing a machine gun, warned, "We would burn the land under the feet of Sharon and his army if they invade out territories." He added, "Gaza and West Bank would turn into a graveyard for Sharon and his soldiers if they try to invade them." Palestinian leaders of the Intifada called for a general strike on Friday. The protests come following a week of car bombings, for which pro-Palestinians groups claimed reasonability, and Israeli helicopter attacks on Ramallah and Gaza. Israel Radio reported that Israeli forces closed an industrial zone on the northern border of the Gaza Strip, forcing some 4,000 Palestinians out of work. The zone was closed because of a series of escalating violence in the area since Tuesday. (Joshua Brilliant in Tel Aviv and Saud Abu Ramadan in Gaza contributed to this report.)
