Crimson > The inhuman living conditions in the most dense area in the world, and one of the poorest human spaces in the northern hemisphere Strikes me the place is ripe for an epidemic of cholera or something similar -- particularly one which is introduced artificially by contaminating the water supply. Then, when the Palestinians die in their multitudes, the genocide can be called an Act of God. > Much depends on the international reaction. That's a joke, right? > Nothing apart from pressure in the from of sanctions, boycott and divestment will stop the murdering of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip. Maybe that's true but who is going to put that pressure?

Crimson > Nothing apart from pressure in the from of sanctions, boycott and divestment will stop the murdering of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip (2) observer.guardian.co.uk >>Critics of Israel 'fuelling hatred of British Jews' MPs demand action against rising abuse, harassment and even violence A group of prominent MPs, alarmed at the rise of anti-semitism in Britain, will accuse some left-wing activists and Muslim extremists this week of using criticism of Israel as 'a pretext' for spreading hatred against British Jews. The charge is made in a hard-hitting report - by MPs from all three major political parties - which will be unveiled at a Downing Street meeting with Tony Blair on Thursday. The report is published in the wake of an alarming increase in verbal harassment, abusive emails and letters, and even violent assaults on British Jews. The number of incidents that took place in July, which came in the middle of escalating violence in the Middle East, was the third highest on record. The 10-month inquiry into anti-semitism in Britain was chaired by the former Europe Minister Denis MacShane and included the former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith and the Liberal Democrat environment spokesman Chris Huhne. Details of the report are being kept confidential until its formal release. However, a draft of the document - seen by The Observer - reveals that incidents of verbal abuse, harassment and violence against Jewish community members and their institutions is reaching worrying levels. It urges more consistent action by police, prosecutors and the government. All have failed to tackle antisemitism with the same determination as other forms of racism, the report suggests.<< Amazing, how verbal abuse is regarded as antisemitism -- and this requires action by the UK government -- but the daily killings and woundings of Muslims, which undoubtedly is the reason for the so-called abuse, is not mentioned. Clearly, there must be sufficient laws in place already to protect against assault in the UK because, other than in this report, I have not read or even heard of a single case of a Jew being assaulted in Britain because he was Jewish. So one can presume all this bleating is just "cry wolf". google.com
