Does Israel finally come in out of the ambiguous cold?

"Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map," Olmert said. "Can you say that this is the same level, when you are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as America, France, Israel, Russia?"
It doesn't look like much, does it? Frankly, I don't see where this is ( Read more... )

salegamine found this one. Finally an Islamic cleric shows some sense!
One well-known sheikh, Abdullah bin Jabreen, has issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, declaring it illegal for Muslims to join, support or even pray for Hezbollah.
Yes, this only applies to Sunnis but it is significant in that it shows a serious change in the arab world ( Read more... )

Human Rights Watch (HRW) is rapidly losing credibility with me and the BBC lost it a long while ago. It's worse that HRW admits that Hizbollah has been launching from Qana.
