  • "In Canada, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute, nor should it be," the commission's statement said. "By portraying Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics, including being a threat to 'the West,' this explicit expression of Islamophobia further perpetuates and promotes prejudice toward Muslims and others."
  • "The problem with so-called hate speech laws is that they're not about facts," he said in a telephone interview. "They're about feelings."
  • . "Western governments are becoming increasingly comfortable with the regulation of opinion.

    Beware world when it comes to speech promoted by America.... the Americans can say anything they want provided the utterances do not cause any physical harm to other American citizens. Amercans say; "Sticks and stones may break my bones but NAMES will never hurt me". So for all of you NON-AMERICANS... get prepared to be told where the "dog died" in America.

    "'Moses was high on hallucinogenic drug when he received Ten Commandments,' claims top academic Last updated at 00:20 05 March 2008 Comments (0) Share When Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, he was summoned right to the top of Mount Sinai. But the man who led the Children of Israel to safety may have been even higher at the time, if an Israeli academic is to be believed. Psychology professor Benny Shanon says it was likely Moses was hallucinating under the influence of a mind-altering drug at the time of his biblical achievements."

Israel 'will attack Iran' before new US president sworn in, John Bolton predicts - Tele... - 1 views

  • "It's clear that the administration has essentially given up that possibility," he said. "I don't think it's serious any more. If you had asked me a year ago I would have said I thought it was a real possibility. I just don't think it's in the cards."
  • The "optimal window" for strikes would be between the November 4 election and the inauguration on January 20, 2009.
  • But waiting for either Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, or his Republican opponent John McCain to be installed in the White House could preclude military action happening for the next four years or at least delay it.

  • An Obama victory would rule out military action by the Israelis because they would fear the consequences given the approach Obama has taken to foreign policy,"
  • The Iran policy of Mr McCain, whom Mr Bolton supports, was "much more realistic than the Bush administration's stance"
  • William Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative, told Fox News on Sunday that an Obama victory could prompt Mr Bush to launch attacks against Iran. "If the president thought John McCain was going to be the next president, he would think it more appropriate to let the next president make that decision than do it on his way out,"
  •  
    This strategy makes sense but, again it may change tomorrow.
  •  
    Let's hope that Iran reverses its direction before any military actions are taken on Iran.

  • A second, the official said, was to send a clear message to the United States and other countries that Israel was prepared to act militarily if diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from producing bomb-grade uranium continued to falter.
  • But American officials were also told that Israel had prepared plans for striking nuclear targets in Iran and could carry them out if needed.
  • "They are clearly nervous about this and have their air defense on guard," a Bush administration official said of the Iranians.

  • Two sets of advance Russian-made radar systems were recently delivered to Iran. The radar will enhance Iran's ability to detect planes flying at low altitude.
  • Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, said in February that Iran was close to acquiring Russian-produced SA-20 surface-to-air missiles. American military officials said that the deployment of such systems would hamper Israel's attack planning, putting pressure on Israel to act before the missiles are fielded.

    Iran is getting nervous about aircraft fying in the air corridors adjacent to their air space. Israel is making arrangments to remove the nuclear sites in Iran.

    Israel: 'Painful Price Must Be Paid on Shalit Deal'
  •  
    If Israel gave the terrorist the DEATH sentence automatically they would NOT have to deal with the bastards ever again over prisoner swaps. If anyone commits a crime involving "terrorism" it is the DEATH penalty within seven days for trial and execution, no less. AND! bury the bastards in PORK so that they get the message that they WILL NOT go to heaven as clean martyrs but they will go to HELL as dirty PORKER infidels and UNCLEAN ... How else can you stop them ?

BBC News - Israel and Palestinian territories country profile - 0 views

      Power of the Media - they say "Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced" but on the other hand: "several wars were fought involving Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon" and this is the interesting part: Who started those wars? these countries. why? they did not accept the UN decision. Try to query a bit more on how these lands were occupied and under what circumstances. Try to find out what happened to the Palestinians in Jordan, BBC happily share information about Palestinians refugees without detailing Israel's history.  All those who read this article and wants to know the truth about Israel should query for facts (non partial).

    Facts are that there will NEVER be an end to this Palistine ARAB and Israel issue because Hamas's charter says NO compromise with INFIDELS...so FORGET negotiating with Hamas. See this link. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7039011.ece
