<<< ... The men driving Bush to war are mostly former or still active pro-Israeli lobbyists. For years, they have advocated destroying the most powerful Arab nation. Richard Perle, one of Bush's most influential advisers, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton and Donald Rumsfeld were all campaigning for the overthrow of Iraq long before George W Bush was elected if he was elected US President. And they weren't doing so for the benefit of Americans or Britons. A 1996 report, A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (http://www.israeleconomy.org/strat1.htm) called for war on Iraq. It was written not for the US but for the incoming Israeli Likud prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu and produced by a group headed by yes, Richard Perle. The destruction of Iraq will, of course, protect Israel's monopoly of nuclear weapons and allow it to defeat the Palestinians and impose whatever colonial settlement Sharon has in store ... >>> zmag.org

The only democracy in the Middle East? The Isra'Eli government is acting just as the Nazis did, taunting the persecuted and manipulating the situation so that any way the subjects turn, they will be dealt with in an inhumane manner. Iain Hook was just more collateral damage, a mistake, a case of mistaken identity, perhaps even an accomplice to terror; a potential terrorist! Linda Gradstein, too late for Linda Gradstein. She has been exposed as a perosn who integrity has been compromised by taking bribes from the Isra'Elis. Good posts Tom! len

Israel Selling Outdated Gas Masks and Antidotes To Foreign Visitors CAROL ROSENBERG, MIAMI HERALD - Israel is selling outdated gas masks and nerve-gas antidotes to guest workers and other foreign visitors. News of the evolving scandal broke Tuesday night on the Kolbotek consumer-affairs television program, which executed a journalistic sting. A reporter, identifying himself as a foreign worker, telephoned the Home Front Command hot line, read the military-issue serial number off his kit and was told it was fine. The reporter then called the hot line back as an Israeli, read off the same serial number and was told to bring in the kit for replacement. Israel's Foreign Ministry defended the practice in a statement, saying foreign visitors aren't expected to keep the kits as long as citizens are, and that the older gas masks and atropine injectors are for any near-term crisis in the event of war with Iraq. Atropine counteracts the effects of nerve gas. Israeli citizens have been told they can keep their kits for perhaps up to 10 years; visitors have been told to return them before they leave.
