The Counter-Terror Bureau has cited, in recent days, a growing threat of the imminent execution of terror attacks against Jewish and Israeli targets abroad, with emphases on Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania and Venezuela. The Bureau urges Israelis traveling to these countries to avoid places where there are concentrations of Israelis, and to obey the instructions of local law-enforcement authorities.

Based on all of the above, I personally doubt that Davis’ immunity plea will be accepted. However, if despite everything, his claim were accepted, what would be the political repercussions?

Settlements in the West Bank are currently subject to military rule and jurisdiction. While not actually formally annexing the settlements to Israel, the move is generally seen as a step closer to annexation. Once settlements are under Israeli law, any future settlements will automatically fall under the effective jurisdiction of Israel. It would then be only a matter of time, once there are enough settlements, for Israel to then formally annex entire swathes of the West Bank to Israel.

Egypt is allowing Iranian warships to cross the canal, on their way to Syrian ports. Israel was publicly critical of the passage - arguing that it is a provocative move - but Egypt ignored the pressures and granted the Iranian navy permission to pass, symbolizing the change to the regional balance of power following the fall of President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt is signaling that it is no longer committed to its strategic alliance with Israel against Iran, and that Cairo is now willing to do business with Tehran. This is precisely what Turkey has done in recent years under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Webmaster's Commentary: Poor little (nuclear armed) Israel! The Suez is considered an international waterway, and under treaty, is open to all ships from all nations. Egypt is giving no signal whatsoever that it is siding with Iran against Israel; it is simply letting the Iranian ships pass and transit to Syria on a training mission. This should be considered as normal. Of course the Israeli government, in its collective hubristic paranoia, refuses to interpret this as such. However, the disturbing tone of this article seems to be "grooming" English speaking readers of Haaretz for an attack against both Egypt and Iran, with neither country having done anything to provoke such an attack. And of course, Israel doesn't expect that they will have to do the fighting, dying, or paying for this conflict; as usual, it will be the Americans who pay for, fight, die, or get maimed for life in the "neutralizing" of Israel's existential threats in the region. And that statement: "Egypt is signaling that it is no longer committed to its strategic alliance with Israel against Iran, and that Cairo is now willing to do business with Tehran. This is precisely what Turkey has done in recent years under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan." is completely bogus. The reason that Turkey has walked away from Israel in terms of cooperation is the massacre of unarmed Turkish aid workers in cold blood on the Mavi Marara last May in international waters last year, attempting to get desperately needed aid to Gaza. Israel refuses to come clean about it; the Turkel investigation is a whitewash of Orwellian proportions, and Israel refuses to apologize to the Turkish government for the murder of its citizens. Is it any wonder that Turkey doesn't want anything to do with Israel right now?!? These are very dangerous times for the entire region, courtesy of Israel. These Iranian ships are about to transit the Suez, http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110220/wl_nm/us_iran_navy_suez and if Israel boards, attacks, or creates a false flag attack against these ships, we're potentially looking at the start of World War III.

Gen. Khalilullah Ziayi, police chief of Kunar province, said 15 men, 20 women and 29 children or young adults were killed during operations in Ghazi Abad district in the past four days. Kunar provincial governor, Fazlullah Wahidi, also said that 64 civilians were killed. "We take allegations of civilian casualties very seriously," U.S. Army Col. Patrick Hynes, director of NATO's operations center, said in a statement. "We are conducting an immediate assessment of these allegations and will report our findings." Webmaster's Commentary: No, Col. Patrick Hynes, Afghan civilians continue to be expendable. Their deaths are handled by the disbursement of money as compensation, which can never bring back the dead loved one, and infants and children keep getting murdered on a daily basis. Please look at the photos at the top of the article referenced below; now, imagine that they were your kids. The Afghan people do not hate Americans because we are allegedly "free"; they hate us because we continue to slaughter their families in the name of this immoral and illegal war, fought and paid for publicly, ultimately for private profit.

That's the amount of compensation offered by the Pentagon for the "collateral damage" which it has caused in Afghanistan. As the war escalates and more innocent victims of Washington's aggressive actions accumulate in number, the US military calculates what it will take to placate grieving Afghan parents." "The squandering of billions of dollars, however, in prosecuting this war and the other imperial campaigns in the Middle East and Central Asia is responsible for other hidden costs to children in the United States. In 2009, the US continued its falling ranking in infant mortality to 33rd in the world, behind the much poorer, but medically wiser, nation of Cuba.

Yet they shy away from one of the biggest pieces of our federal budget: defense spending. Republican Congressman Buck McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, reacted to Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s recent and ever-so-modest effort to reduce the growth in the Pentagon’s budget by saying, “We are fighting two wars; you have China, you have Iran: Is this the time to be making these types of cuts?” Well, yes.

Nor can we shelter defense from fiscal imperatives. » * Feb 20 09:05 Iceland President Blocks Bill Guaranteeing $5 Billion U.K., Dutch Deposits By: Ethan Allen and...

But in this age of record Wall Street criminality (and bonuses), why should they? Let us be clear; the protesters in Wisconsin, and Ohio, and Texas, and everywhere else are NOT striking for anything more. They simply wish to keep what they already have in the face of a government that sees looting the people to feed the bankers as the one and only solution to the nation's problems. Do we not all wish to keep that which we have worked for? Can we deny these teachers any less? The plain fact of the matter is that even the FCIC report confirms that the economic problems people and states are facing were caused by Wall Street's fraudulent mortgage-backed securities, not teachers wanting a decent living wage. So not only should we not oppose the Wisconsin protesters, we should all join them, and protest not just in front of the state house, but every office of the Federal Reserve, every bank, every mortgage company, the homes of every CEO that got rich by defrauding investors and then dumping the resulting disaster onto the people with the help of a complicit Congress. Now, I do not like unions. They have been a royal pain in the ass for my entire film and TV career. But this is not about unions; it is about Americans keeping what they have spent their lives working for. Yes, the teachers union could cave in, but if they did, what would be the result? The money-addicts in Wall Street and Washington DC would, encouraged but that success, start pushing for even more impoverishment, because in a nation that has willingly sacrificed its agriculture and manufacturing to foreign shores, looting the people is the only way the money addicts can get their next fix. Somewhere, some time, between where we stand now and utter homelessness in the future, a line must be drawn; a line that says 'here and no farther will we go.' Let us draw that line. Let it be here and now. » * 4 comments * Permalink^ Feb 20 09:03 Bringing Home 150 Troops From Afghanistan Would Fix Wisconsin's Budget "Crisis" Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS "Under Walker's plan, most public workers -- excluding police, firefighters and state troopers -- would have to pay half of their pension costs and at least 12 percent of their health-care costs.

Israel attacked foreign flagged ships in international waters (the very activity the 6th fleet is killing Somali coastal patrol crews for), hijacked a US-flagged ship, and kidnapped 12 Americans, shooting one of them in the head 4 times. A real President, who remembers that his job is to take care of America and Americans, would not rush to the UN to protect the nation that just attacked Americans. A real Congress, who remembers that their job is to take care of America and Americans, would not hand Israel a license to murder more Americans anywhere in the world Israel decides they are an inconvenience!

The reality is radically different. Unlike true austerity measures ...rolling back worker's bargaining rights by itself saves almost nothing on its own. But Walker's doing it anyhow, to knock down a barrier and allow him to cut state employee benefits immediately. Furthermore, this broadside comes less than a month after the state's fiscal bureau...concluded that Wisconsin isn't even in need of austerity measures, and could conclude the fiscal year with a surplus. In fact, they say that the current budget shortfall is a direct result of tax cut policies Walker enacted in his first days in office. » * Feb 19 21:00 CHINA BACKS THE PALESTINIANS AGAINST US VETO-TIME TO OVERTHROW ZOG By: dtolsen Tags: * ISRAEL * PALESTINE * POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION * WHITE HOUSE Feb 19 19:50 Chinese workers in Israel forced to sign no-sex contract By: johnu78 Tags: * CHINA * ISRAEL * MIDDLE EAST Chinese workers at a company in Israel have been forced to agree not to have sex with or marry Israelis as a condition of getting a job.

In late July, 2008, the FBI announced that, this time, it had identified the Real Perpetrator: Army researcher Bruce Ivins, who had just committed suicide as a result of being subjected to an intense FBI investigation. Ivins' death meant that the FBI's allegations would never be tested in a court of law. Webmaster's Commentary: The FBI knows of a man who was caught entering the lab where the Anthrax used in the letters was kept, after he had been fired for a racially motivated attack on a co-worker. Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the lab building at night was Langford's predecessor, Lt. Col. Philip Zack, who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Zack being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992, apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy, a lab pathologist and close friend of Zack's, according to a report filed by a security guard. >Zack could not be reached for comment. In an interview this week, Rippy said >that she doesn't remember letting Zack in, but that he occasionally stopped by >after he was transferred off the base. > >"After he left, he had no [authorized] access to the building. Other people let >him in," she said. "He knew a lot of people there and he was still part of the >military.
