The Swiss estimate at least 3% of surfers in their country suffer from "excessive" internet use. Suffering surfers are most likely male, aged between 20 and 30 and have grown up with computer games and other entertainment systems such as "playstation" and "gameboy". read full story / add a comment

Summary:Peace activist Adam Keller' sends a vivid diary account of Saturday's anti-war rally in Tel Aviv in which Israelis and Palestinians took part. The rally was estimated at between 3,000 and 10,000. A young man spoke of his refusal to go to fight in Lebanon. The main speaker, a peace activist, had been with his wife in the back room of their home near Haifa when the front room was shattered by an exploding rocket nearby. When the press arrived, the peace activist decided to play the piano to send a message of peace, but the following day the picture appeared with war-like captions implying that he wanted revenge. There were disturbances, eggs thrown at the demonstrators, 300 black flags stolen. from them and two demonstrators arrested. There were also some memorable speeches from veteran anti-war people read full story / add a comment

Not in My Name Nour Odeh, The Electronic Intifada, 30 July 2006 " ,,, The Israeli side has attempted to market this campaign of death and destruction in Lebanon and Palestine as "self-defense" intended to "defend peace," in the words of Shimon Peres, who in 1996 gave the orders to bomb a UNIFIL post in Qana, South Lebanon, where hundreds of civilians had sought refuge. That attack burned 106 Lebanese civilians to death, also in the name of Israeli "self-defense." Israeli officials have also allowed themselves the audacity of speaking on behalf of the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples they are assaulting. read full story / add a comment
