Tony Blair's government tightened the screws on Israel's illegal West Bank settlements yesterday by warning British food and agricultural importers that they will now be liable for taxes on zero-rated goods which are not genuinely Israeli. Less than 10% of Israel's farms exports are said to emanate from the West Bank, but such goods are used to defray the heavy cost of subsidising the settlements from Palestinian attacks. For instance a lone settler occupying a hilltop in the West Bank illegally is being guarded by 6 troops to the tune of $27,000 a month! Your money is going to subsidise illegal settlements and ethnic cleansing if you buy Israeli goods! Boycott Israel! ... read full story / add a comment

While these accusations are not new, their significance is increased given the Al Samoud missiles were one of the pretexts the US/K used for going to war on Iraq. It will be interesting to see if they are trundled out as a pretext for action against Egypt once the war in Iraq is over? How involved is Israel in developing US military strategy and targeting? US and Israeli intelligence sources allege that Western and US technology obtained by Egyptian government-owned companies is being sent to Pyongyang and is adapted and returned as advanced missile components for Egypt's medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) programme. The same Israeli sources claim that Egypt has 'Scud C' missiles with a range of 500km. The missiles Cairo is now developing, the sources said, are believed to nearly double that range. Israeli and US officials differ over the extent of Egypt's missile programme and its threat to the ... read full story / add a comment

North Dakota, still illegal to live together outside of marraige. OK so it aint the Taliban, but don't this stink of christian fundamentalism? And this is after a recent vote, in which the representatives of the good people of north dakota voted to keep the 113 year law on the books. It may not be real news, but if I lived there I'd be a criminal, along with my wicked partner........ http://breaking.examiner.ie/2003/04/04/story94229.html ... read full story / add a comment

Now I believe that all of the Native American soldiers and marines over there in Iraq, along with every one of the Black and Hispanic troopers who, put together, make up sixty percent of the U.S. military's front line, should be asking themselves, "Why are we doing the white man's dirty work?" ... read full story / add a comment
