Raid Salah
How telling that the only Israeli citizen to be arrested upon coming to Britain was an Arab.
The New Statesman can do better than the Zionist idiot propagandist Amos Harel
And the article is written by the ignorant Ha'aretz reporter who with his partner wrote the book "34 Days: Israel, Hizbollah, and the War in Lebanon" which is a joke (for example did you know that "Bashar Gemayel" was assassinated in 2005?). They're completely wrong when they claim Iran has MORE influence over Hizbullah after 2006, Nasrallah does not take orders from Ahmadinejad and whoever thinks this doesn't know what they're talking about. Remember Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon? Nasrallah was clearly the dominant one throughout, for example Ahmadinejad was allowed to give a 30 minute (boring) speech to a rally in the South which everyone put up with and then when he was finally gone Nasrallah gave an hour long speech via videolink i.e. this was the main event not Ahmadinejad speaking from the stage. Hizbullah are not going to attack Israel just because Iran told them to or for some retaliation for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities (which I can't see happening anyway).
The Thieving Entity even steals the dead
In response to Israel's decision earlier this week to stop the transfer the bodies of 84 Palestinian terrorists to the Palestinian Authority...
Judge, jury and executioner
the first significant incident in the strip after a few months of relative calm in the area." According to this racist paper two Palestinians being bombed to death by Israeli war planes is not a significant incident but an Israeli occupation soldier being lightly wounded is. And can Ha'aretz make their mind up whether the tank was "NEAR Gaza" or "IN the southern Gaza Strip". Although either way I'm sure it was on a mission of peace.

Greece Uncut
Tax evasion by the rich is again a major contributor to the "economic crisis" "Various studies, including one by the Federation of Greek Industries last year, have estimated that the government may be losing as much as $30 billion a year to tax evasion — a figure that would have gone a long way to solving its debt problems." But getting corrupt gangsters to pay their taxes is out of the question. The rich do what they can, the rest suffer as they must. Until they choose to exercise their God-given right to resist.
France, Germany Forced Greece to Buy Arms: MEP
France and Germany, while publicly urging Greece to make harsh public spending cuts, bullied its government to confirm billions of euros in arms deals, a leading Euro-MP alleged Friday. The Prime Minister went abroad supposedly on a trip to find a way to reduce Greece's debt and came back having bought €2.5 billion in arms when Greece already has a gargantuan military. It was such a farce.
Important facts about Greece
Some excerpts but worth reading the whole thing.
I have never been more desperate to explain and more hopeful for your understanding of any single fact than this: The protests in Greece concern all of you directly.

What is going on in Athens at the moment is resistance against an invasion; an invasion as brutal as that against Poland in 1939. The invading army wears suits instead of uniforms and holds laptops instead of guns, but make no mistake – the attack on our sovereignty is as violent and thorough. Private wealth interests are dictating policy to a sovereign nation, which is expressly and directly against its national interest. Ignore it at your peril. Say to yourselves, if you wish, that perhaps it will stop there. That perhaps the bailiffs will not go after the Portugal and Ireland next. And then Spain and the UK. But it is already beginning to happen. This is why you cannot afford to ignore these events.

So let me deal with some of that media Mythology.
- Greeks are lazy. This underlies much of what is said and written about the crisis, the implication presumably being that our lax Mediterranean work-ethic is at the heart of our self-inflicted downfall. And yet, OECD data among its members show that in 2008, Greeks worked on average 2120 hours a year. That is 690 hours more than the average German, 467 more than the average Brit and 356 more than the OECD average. Only Koreans work longer hours. Further, the paid leave entitlement in Greece is on average 23 days, lower than most EU countries including the UK’s minimum 28 and Germany’s whopping 30.
- Greeks retire early. The figure of 53 years old as an average retirement age is being bandied about. So much, in fact, that it is being seen as fact. The figure actually originates from a lazy comment on the NY Times website. It was then repeated by Fox News and printed on other publications. Greek civil servants have the option to retire after 17.5 years of service, but this is on half benefits. The figure of 53 is a misinformed conflation of the number of people who choose to do this (in most cases to go on to different careers) and those who stay in public service until their full entitlement becomes available. Looking at Eurostat’s data from 2005 the average age of exit from the labour force in Greece (indicated in the graph below as EL for Ellas) was 61.7; higher than Germany, France or Italy and higher than the EU27 average. Since then Greece have had to raise the minimum age of retirement twice under bail-out conditions and so this figure is likely to rise further.
...
And the biggest myth of them all: Greeks are protesting because they want the bail-out but not the austerity that goes with it. This is a fundamental untruth. Greeks are protesting because they do not want the bail-out at all.

David Willetts in secret talks with banks on funding of student loans
Idiotic ideas are coming so thick and fast from the Tories at the moment it's hard to keep up. I'd really like to see how this one came about. Was Willetts like erhh got a big problem here how can we fund kids education when we've just tripled tuition fees and slashed teaching funds. Oh I know, we'll just get high street banks to lend lots of money to people who probably won't pay it back. I can't remember that one ever going wrong...
Best Glastonbury ever
Senior Tory Christopher Shale found dead at Glastonbury festival This story is pretty weird. There'd just been leaks of him criticising the party the day before and now he drops dead.

National Transitional Council are only interested in getting into (or more accurately staying in) power.
Israel’s Jordanian friends
Yes that is the actual title of the Zionist article coming not so long after 'Our Saudi Arabian Allies'. "Op-ed: Jordan remains stabilizing factor, Israel committed to helping monarchy survive... the so-called “Arab Spring” in the Middle East has now spread to the traditionally stable country of Jordan, a historical ally of the United States and Israel." Yeah and 'stable' is just a codeword for 'follows the US-Israeli agenda in the region.
