That Hamas is MORE popular after firing 1000s of rockets into Israel, forcing them to destroy so much infrastructure, housing, lives, etc. worth 100s of millions of £s in a week when the Gazans have so little to start with is about as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a population of adults to be. I don't suppose we have seen the like since the middle ages.
I agree. Hamas is like a snake eating its tail. Israeli can easily blow them off the face of the map with a fraction of their firepower so I just don't get what they are talking about. They did not win anything.
They 'win' by surviving … they 'win' by projecting pictures of death and destruction … they 'win' by imprinting the the image of the 'crying mothers with dead babies' and the IDF …
It's called propaganda … the moment Israel returns fire on the hundreds of missiles fired at them from within civilian territories … the ISRAELIS 'appear' as if they are the aggressors … the ISRAELIS are told to desist from returning fire … the ISRAELIS are hated because of 'proportionality' …
it ain't gonna happen …
the Arab/Muslims will be taking it on the chin for as long as they persist in attacking the sovereign free liberal democratic State of Israel …
any race that has been targeted for destruction will have survival imprinted in their dna. the israelis have been subjected to 4 attempts at invasion since 1946 and are asked to endure endless provocations. passivity will only invite further aggression. every day there is another article about the abuses under extremist muslim regimes.
to the critics of israel i ask that you vote with your feet and move to one of the societies that surrounds israel. then become a critic of said society and send me an update of how well you are fairing. i presume that your life expectancy will be somewhat shorter than if you were living in israel.
The siege Of Gaza is over as evidenced by the visits of a Head of State and Goverment members from various countries through Egypt .
To all intents and purposes , Gaza has an elected leadership and is starting to act like a country in its own right .
It is to be hoped that one of these days it may start to behave a bit more responsibly , like a proper country .
The biggest problem that will have to be solved before any progress can be made in the peace process is REFUGEES .
Not just the Arabs/Palestinians .
There is the question of Jewish Refugees .
Before 1948 there were over a million Jews in North Africa/Middle East Today there are only a few thousand
In the 1940s' and 1950s' , 850000 Jews were ETHNICALLY CLEANSED from Arab/Muslim Lands because , and only because , they were Jews .
They were expelled/fled because of a wave of Antisemitism that swept the Arab/Muslim lands at that time .
Most were not Zionists ,but were targeted nonetheless .
They left leaving their property , possesions and thousands of years of community and culture .
Most arrived penniless and destitute in Israel , which set about absorbing and resettling these REFUGEES .
I sometimes wonder what the face of the Middle East would have looked like if the Arabs/Muslims had been 'nicer to their Jews', and they had stayed ,rather than having to flee to Israel
Modern Israel would have been impossible. The Arabs would not have fled Israel so Lod [Tel Aviv], Jaffo, Haifa, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Tiberius, etc would have been Arab cities. After 1948 the Jews of Arab lands would not have been forced to go to Israel and double its population making it viable. Today, Jews from Arab lands and their descendants make up half Israel's population.
I agree - partially. Theocratic Israel would have been impossible. However, a secular Israel would have emerged. That would have been a better outcome. Please read Count Folke Bernadotte's (the UN's mediator) plan of 1948. It is a great document.
The Israel today is a model state on Planet Earth … despite being under constant attack from the Arab/Muslims …
Israel is a … liberal … democratic state … under the rule of law … where all its citizens (Arab/Bahai/Christian/Jewish/Gay/LGBT) are equal before the law … where there is real FREEDOM … where the Judiciary/Police are independent … with an economy that is 1st World (a member of the OECD) … while no country is PERFECT … Israel has achieved much in its 60+ YEARS !!!
So … whatever happened in 1948 … is HISTORY … the 2 state solution was deemed appropriate in November 1947 by the UNITED NATIONS … but the Arab/Muslims REJECTED THAT OPTION … AND THEY BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ALL THE WARS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THAT TIME … it's time the Arab/Muslims learned how to 'chill' … accept the sovereign Jewish State and 'move on' … otherwise the 'knock-out punch' they want to deliver on Israel … will continue to bring them only pain and suffering … Inshallah
That is why over 2 million Israeli's possess (or have applied for) 2 passports. The liberal Jews are leaving the country - leaving the fundos to continue with ethnic cleansing. We get to have regular business meetings with Israeli traders in Dubai (an Arab country). They are fed up with the right-wing politics of Israel. They want to integrate (and do business) with Asian countries. Most of them are Sephardic Jews. I think some of them will marry locally and settle down in Dubai. The Ashkenazic Jews are very racist - they eat alone in their hotel rooms, hire Ukrainian (or Russian) whores, drink a lot, and barely make it to business meetings on time. There is a huge difference between the 2 communities. You yourself live in Canada - it is quite a secular country. I am sure you hate the place - too many Christians. Must be very sad eating your Kreplach all alone surrounded by goy and gentiles. Please resist the temptation to kill them, as required by the Torah.
My whole family has 2 passports! There's nothing wrong about that … ask a Lebanese Christian … I know many of them and they're the same … anyways that's just the nature of Israel … there are many immigrants who came from North America …
You're such a racist yourself. Feh
What do you know? You're a real hate monger. Enjoy your brown rice and pork pie or is that forbidden to you? You 'think' you know something but you sound very envious of the Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews … are they more successful than you? It's in the genes … God given as it were … LOL Fear not … the greater power loves you to … but only a little cuz that's the way it goes.
BTW … it's got nothing to do with religious beliefs … the gene pool has been set by forces much larger than one can imagine … it's there and will remain there … in the gene pool …
As for kreplach … I'm not a big fan … but maybe you are … do you like 'dim sum' … it's the Jewish take on it … only with no PORK!
Dim sum is very nice - particularly seafood and pork. I do not eat brown rice and pork pie - I prefer rice noodles (thin size - 1mm or 2mm) with pork in light oyster sauce.
Re the Jewish traders in Dubai - my comment was about the huge genetic differences between them - the Asian-types enjoy the local food and entertainment and like going out - the European-types stay in their hotels, drink and spend the night with whores. I am not jealous of them - they are my sales agents.
Having 2 passports (more than 2 million people) suggests a lack of confidence in the country. A recent CIA study says: "The study further predicts the return of over one and a half million Israelis to Russia and other parts of Europe." Russia is enjoying an economic boom, after a period of decline. The CIA study concludes: "The CIA report predicts "an inexorable movement away from a two-state to a one-state solution, as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial Apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947/1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region."
"International lawyer Franklin Lamb said in an interview with Press TV on Friday, adding that those who do not have American or western passport, have already applied for them.
"So I think the handwriting at least among the public in Israel is on the wall...[which] suggests history will reject the colonial enterprise sooner or later," Lamb stressed.
He said CIA, in its report, alludes to the unexpectedly quick fall of the apartheid government in South Africa and recalls the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, suggesting the end to the dream of an 'Israeli land' would happen 'way sooner' than later."
Yes … racists like yourself … would take ANYTHING Press TV says as 'real information' … LOL ha ha
Get real … Israel is on the cusp of energy independence …
see: http://www.meforum.org/3388/israel-energy-reserves
So you're a sales manager … you must feel important?
The Russian/Israelis have every right to travel between states if their passport allows them to do so … let them make their $$$ wherever … I'm OK with that … but you're not?
It's a given the overwhelming number of Jews on Planet Earth will be living in Israel … there's no doubt they will remain so going forward …
What's in doubt is a viable 2 state solution … the Arab/Muslims may never get sovereignty … only autonomy … but that's on them … Israel will dictate the terms of their release … after all … they are the jailors! You don't give in to threats from Arab/Muslims … YOU HAVE TO 'HANDLE' THEM … LIKE THEY'VE BEEN HANDLED UP UNTIL THE PRESENT … Egypt/Syria/Lebanon/Jordan et al cannot threaten Israel … Qatar? LOL or Saudi Arabia … these not ready for prime time players will still be sorting their various messes out long into the 21st C … let's revisit the issue in 2062 … kick the can down the road … by then the Israelis will have robotic soldiers policing the borders and the air above Gaza … see if the Arab/Muslims think that's 'Sharia compliant' … LOL
As for you … your racism brings out my 'best' impulses to throw racism back at you … I'm real tolerant until I meet racists … then I just push back with the same BS … ver geharget
Hamas will lead the Filistanis? This is the best the Economist can offer? Is there any hope a new generation of Filistanis … many of the 5 MILLION DIASPORA FILISTANIS … especially ones educated in the West … who have been exposed to what is possible if one implements a 2 State Solution … 2 States for 2 Peoples …
This is the ONLY ray of hope the Filistanis can hope for … because from Meshel … Haniyeh … Abbas … you're getting … same old same old policies and NO NEW TRICKS …
The Filistanis deserve a NEW dancing partner to lead them … a 'salsa' queen or king … think 'out of the box' … there's lots of talent … someone should step up … renounce terror and get the 'best deal' available and become the 'father/mother of a nation' …
Best wishes … but terror … will bring death and destruction on an ever larger scale … make the right choice!
What is a Filistani ? Is that a racial epithet ?
What are salsa queens and kings in relation to this article?
When it comes to post on the Arab/Israeli conflict its only a matter of time before the crazies come on line.
The Arabs can't say the letter 'P' … therefore in Arab speak they say 'FILISTAN' … look it up … racial one!
As far as … humourless goes … you take the cake! Take a salsa lesson yourself!
The Fililstanis … need some new 'blood' for their geriatric LEADERSHIP GROUP … a man or woman … a king or queen/father or mother … get it … oh thick one Rumba … oh I get it … you're upset I didn't use a different dance … like the Rumba? LOL
Your post is incoherent at best, racist at worst. I have no idea what you are talking about.
Did not Israel create Hamas in an attempt to divide and conquer the PLO ?
Until Hamas and the PLO get the differnces out of the way there is no way there will be peace.
Can you imagine Hamas at the White House to sign a Peace Treaty?
Then again the worlds grand daddy of terrorism, Arafat made it there.
How does that riddle go …
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
Seems appropriate … LOL
"Then again the worlds grand daddy of terrorism, Arafat made it there" - your comment. I think the White House would have no problem with this. Begin, Sharon and Shamir were also welcomed in the White House. Nelson Mandela as well. And, of course, several Irish politicians. So freedom fighters have always been welcome!!!
You said: "So freedom fighters have always been welcome …"
Going by your 'definition' … Begin, Sharon, Shamir and Mandela … ALL BROUGHT THEIR PEOPLE … sovereign states
Arafat … only brought himself $$$$ + POWER … his people are still WITHOUT A STATE … WITHOUT A VIABLE PEACE SETTLEMENT … WITHOUT HOPE … Why? Because he never had their interests in mind … his only interest was the dissolution of the Jewish State a goal that's a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY … an unachievable goal … Inshallah
The meds are having an adverse effect - you have become totally incoherent. Mandela did not create South Africa - he changed it from minority rule to majority rule. Begin, Sharon, Shamir did not create Israel - they were merely efficient killers. With people like these 3 (and many more murderers), who needs enemies?? They ruined the credibility of Israel. There have been some very fine Israeli leaders, like Rabin. However, he was a man of peace - so the Israeli right-wing decided to murder him. Sad.
Take off the 'rose coloured' glasses … Rabin didn't come out for a Filistani state on the West Bank … he was a MILITARY LEADER … who offered autonomy to the Filistanis but NOT sovereignty …
Barak & Olmert offered sovereignty … but didn't get a response from Arafat and Abbas respectively …
Israel's leaders are their own … to be liked or disliked by their own citizens … they're not looking for you to applaud them …
You want to talk about efficient killers?
You mean like …
Arafat … how many Filistanis blood are on his hands?
Haniyeh/Meshel/Zahar how many Filistanis blood are on their hands?
You and 'the gang that couldn't shoot straight' will continue to suffer humiliation as long as you continue to DENY Israel it's right to live in peace and security. Don't even think ANY Arab/Muslim will be living in better circumstances than the Jews/Zionists/Israelis if they are DENIED peace and security. Hasn't that been made VERY CLEAR? Capeesh … Ba-roor … got it?
and around and around an around we go...
That is right - except, Shamir, Sharon and Mandela, were acting for their nationalistic interest. Hamas acts on religious convictions. For them this is a religious war, not over land or buildings
You mean that the people of Palestine are not wanting their land (and buildings) back?? The Zionists did not want any land at all?? They were merely joking!!! The reality is that the planned ethnic cleansing of Palestine began well before 1947 - a synopsis is given below:
"In 1947, there were 630,000 Jews and 1,300,000 Palestinian Arabs. Thus, by the time of the United Nations partition of Palestine in 1947, the Jews were 31% of the population.
The decision to partition Palestine, promoted by the leading imperialist powers and Stalin's Soviet Union, gave 54% of the fertile land to the Zionist movement. But before the state of Israel was established, the Irgun and Haganah seized three-quarters of the land and expelled virtually all the inhabitants.
In 1948, there were 475 Palestinian villages and towns. Of these, 385 were razed to the ground, reduced to rubble. Ninety remain, stripped of their land."
"In 1940, Joseph Weitz, the head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department, which was responsible for the actual organization of settlements in Palestine, wrote:
Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries - all of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left.
Joseph Weitz elaborated upon the practical meaning of rendering Palestine "Jewish":
There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument: ... the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish ... with a non-Jewish minority limited to fifteen percent. I had already reached this fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary.
The Koenig Report stated this policy even more bluntly:
We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.
Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, declaimed: "We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves."
These are the words of Uri Lubrani, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion's special adviser on Arab Affairs, in 1960: "We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters."
Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces stated:
We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel ... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours.
Eitan elaborated before the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee:
When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do will be to scurry around like drugged roaches in a bottle."
"The territorial ambitions of Zionism were clearly spelled out by David Ben Gurion in a speech to a Zionist meeting on October 13, 1936: "We do not suggest that we announce now our final aim which is far reaching – even more so than the Revisionists who oppose Partition. I am unwilling to abandon the great vision, the final vision which is an organic, spiritual and ideological component of my ... Zionist aspirations."
In the same year, Ben Gurion wrote in a letter to his son:
A partial Jewish State is not the end, but only the beginning. I am certain that we can not be prevented from settling in the other parts of the country and the region.
In 1937, he declaimed:
"The boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them." [47] In 1938, he was more explicit: "The boundaries of Zionist aspiration," he told the World Council of Poale Zion in Tel Aviv, "include southern Lebanon, southern Syria, today's Jordan, all of Cis-Jordan [West Bank] and the Sinai."
Ben Gurion formulated Zionist strategy very clearly:
After we become a strong force as the result of the creation of the state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine. The state will only be a stage in the realization of Zionism and its task is to prepare the ground for our expansion. The state will have to preserve order – not by preaching but with machine guns."
I suggest that you read books on Zionist ethnic cleansing written by Jewish scholars like Ilan Pappe, Noam Chomsky, etc. Also Gurion's Plan D - Plan Dalet, or Plan D, (Hebrew: תוכנית ד', Tokhnit dalet) - i.e., total ethnic cleansing in Palestine - a war crime!!!
Population Transfer? Is that what you're allegedly talking about?
Well in 1948 … MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS were transferred out of India to Pakistan … 500K human beings lost their life in this transfer
In the Middle East … there was a transfer as well …
Arab/Muslims out of what became the Jewish State
Jews out of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya into the Jewish State
A POPULATION TRANSFER … inadvertent … but it's like the 'Gypsy Curse' … 'be careful what you wish for' … hey maybe this is what is happening to the Arab/Israeli Conflict … 'be careful what you wish for' …
I am not interested in responding to you in future - because you deliberately distort history. Or (more likely) that you are functionally illiterate. There is a huge difference between population transfer (e.g., India, Singapore, Ireland, etc.) and ethnic cleansing. India gave territory to establish Pakistan (under an agreement) - it did not grab territory. Secondly, the people who moved had lived in the sub-continent for several centuries - they did not "suddenly arrive" from Poland, Russia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, etc. Thirdly, it was not compulsory. Fourthly, those who remained did not lose their villages, towns and homes. Fifthly, there were no land laws passed by parliament to "nationalize land" of people - no JNF. Sixthly, neither state is in violation of any UN resolution on people issues. Seventhly, India supported Pakistan to become a member of the UN. In fact, there is close co-operation between the 2 countries at the UN and other international agencies. Eighthly, there was no loss of nationality or voting rights in case of "inter-marriages". Ninethly, there was no attempt to "grab land", "establish settlements", "control airspace", "withhold tax revenues", "deny voting rights", "pass apartheid laws", "assassinate political leaders", "deny international memberships", "blockade shipping/trade", etc., etc., etc. If you cannot see the difference between a transfer of population and blatant ethnic cleansing, then there is no way that anybody can waste any more time to educate you. Goodbye.
In 1948, India/Pakistan - Population transfer …
Where 500K were killed/murdered !!!
Where countless numbers were raped/maimed/humiliated !!!
You said: "… In fact, there is close co-operation between the 2 countries …" LOL … don't make me laugh!
An apologist for India/Pakistan relations? What are you afraid of? Being caught out as an Indian Muslim? Don't want to offend your Hindu Bros? How many MAJOR WARS between them have taken place to-date? How about Nukes in the hands of both these parties?
Your animus is palpable … your ignorance betrayed by your hatred of Jews/Zionists/Israelis … due to your Muslim background. Ok I get it … Mr. 'don't like any faith but we both know differently' … I SEE U !!!
Ethnic cleansing … better watch out what you wish for … 'the Gypsy Curse' …
BTW … there have been MANY Population Transfers … Turks/Greeks 1922 … ethnic Germans out of Eastern Europe after WWII …
There's no 'nice' way to say it … your 'talking points' put YOU in the 'hate' crowd … anti-Israel/anti-Zionist crowd … we can never 'convince' one another …
That's fine … I'll continue to display the hard truth … while you will continue to preach lies and propaganda … the 'truth' of fools
As a committed agnostic, I deeply resent you shoving labels on me - you have no business to do so - in fact, you should apologize. I have problems with all religions, particularly the 3 Abrahamic religions. The only religion I can relate to is Buddhism. I travel to both India and Pakistan regularly - I have many friends on both sides of the border. That part of the world is very interesting and culturally vibrant. India is an emerging super-power - India, China and Russia are already the major players in Asia. All 3 of them support the rights of the people of Palestine. You are right on only 1 point - I have a huge problem with militant Zionism and with Israeli occupation and apartheid policies. Heard a good joke in London recently:
An Israeli arrives at Heathrow airport. The customs official says to him, "Your occupation, Sir?"
"No, no," replies the Israeli. "Just visiting."
It's funny that you collect Israeli 'occupation' jokes … I'll call you anything I want without apologies … since if the hat fits wear it!
I don't think India or China or Russia will dominate the 'future' … too many problems in … transparency … bribes … 'bridges to nowhere' …
I love Indian food which includes Pakistani food … my golf partner is Pakistani … I've got no prejudice in my body EXCEPT for those that continue to spew hatred at Israelis/Zionists/Jews … so I've got my eyes out for YOU and your LIES
Your view about global economics is contrary to the view of the World Bank, leading economists, the IMF, etc. Here is the IMF's view:
"The International Monetary Fund expects that China's economy will overtake America's as the world's largest in terms of gross domestic product, adjusted for purchasing power, by 2016.
According to the Fund's latest forecast, the Chinese economy will have expanded to some $19 trillion that year compared to just over $11 trillion today. America's share of global output would drop to 17.7 percent compared to 18 percent for China.
Considering that China is roughly the same size as America but has four times as many people, millions of whom are still poor but many millions more who are extremely industrious, and given its increased openness to business and trade, analysts have expected the East Asian country to overtake America as the dominant economic force on the planet for more than a decade. But few predicted that it could happen so fast."
You can stick with your own textbook and disregard what contemporary economists are saying. Nobody has ever accused you of being enlightened or well read.
As for food, I find Indian (and Pakistani) food a bit heavy - cannot be eaten on a daily basis. Btw, north Indian food and Pakistani food is identical. I cook (and eat) Thai food. When eating out, I prefer Japanese or Vietnamese food. Getting fresh ingredients is a major issue for Thai cooking - this is not possible in North America - the only exception is California.
On Israel. It is entire possible to be against Israel's policies without being prejudiced against the Jews. A Jewish girl is about to marry a relative - we have no problem with this marriage. There was only one issue that was easily resolved by the girl and the boy - i.e., the children born will not be taught any religion. They can make up their mind which religion to join after they have become adults. Religion is an absurd outdated ritual with any value addition to good human values and retards peaceful coexistence.
With all their 'benefits' … China … India … Russia … lack transparency … and have massive issues with CORRUPTION/BRIBES … there's issues ahead for these individual countries … let alone the impact of 'global warming' …
The child born to this couple will be 'Jewish' according to 'Jewish tradition' … so no problem for me … it's BS about the issue of the child choosing … there are OBVIOUSLY many many opportunities for 'coaching' the child into the 'right' decision! It's ridiculous to assume otherwise. No Christmas celebrations? No Eid celebrations? et al
Religion is absurd but culture cannot be teased out of the 'growing up' of children within a household. IT'S NOT UP TO YOU … YOUR 'we have no problem with this marriage" is self-serving and disingenuous … Ver geharget!
Your views on the global economic situation are very different from any of the main scholars on these subjects. Incidentally, how often to you visit China, Russia or India?? A child born to an agnostic Asian father and a Jewish mother (whose parents have German and Turkish passports respectively - the father is Turkish) will be probably agnostic. In any case, the marriage documents will be made in a country where atheism is the "state religion" - therefore, Jewish tradition is totally irrelevant.
The Palestinian people keep making their choice clear - more war and more suffering. Go ahead and keep supporting Hamas, but then quit asking the rest of the world to give a damn about you.
Their untended vote in U.N as independent state notwithstanding. We already have reached the stage of Palestinian fatigue.
After all, who are these Arabs? whom only after 1967 they began calling themselves "Palestinians". The truth is, the core structure of which they, and all other Arabs are on ethnic, or secretarial Tribes - rather then rationalistic forms as we in the west have come to recognize.
There is no one monopolistic unit called "Palestinians" - only Tribes, whose common goal is the destruction of Israel as homeland to Jews. These Arabs in Gaza are from different tribes then those in West Bank, and in those refugee camps living in other Arab states.
It is time to call the spade, a spade. let people of WB re-join their brethren in Jordan, who's 75% of its population are "Palestinians". People in Gaza return to their Bedouin Tribes in Sinai desert and Egypt.
Whoever represented the Palestinians? - these are corrupt leaders like an Egyptian by the name Yasser Arafat, and now we learn that Mahmud Abbas, is accused by a Palestinian writer as descendant of Baha'i sect, who's grandparent had come from........Iran.

'Gabby' Giffords to visit NH to urge Ayotte to back expanded gun sales background checks
The advocacy group/political action committee co-founded and co-chaired by Giffords and Kelly announced the visit Monday as part of a nationwide "Rights and Responsibilities" Tour to rally gun control supporters. In New Hampshire they are expected to continue their attempt to pressure U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte to change her controversial April vote against the Manchin-Toomey amendment, which would have expended background checks for gun sales to gun shows and the Internet.
Details of the visit have yet to be announced. They will also visit Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, North Dakota and Ohio.
The group released a poll conducted in late May by the Democratic pollster, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner. According to the pollster, it showed 84 percent of New Hampshire voters support expanded background checks, with support crossing party lines. Eight-two percent of gun owners also support expanded background checks, the pollster said.
The poll also showed that 75 percent believe it is "fully possible to both protect Second Amendment rights and strengthen laws to keep guns out of the wrong hands," Americans for Responsible Solutions said, explaining another poll result.
The poll also said that 57 percent of New Hampshire voters believe Ayotte should change her vote on background checks, including 57 percent of independents, 56 percent of gun owners and 39 percent of Republicans.
According to the poll, 44 percent are less likely to vote for Ayotte because of her opposition to expanded background checks, while 18 percent said they are more likely to support her based on that vote.
The poll said that "at least 37 percent"of Granite Staters own a gun.
Americans for Responsible Solutions aired radio ads criticizing Ayotte's vote in the spring.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".

The intermediate shafts connect the steering column to the steering gear. Vehicles in areas where salt is used to de-ice the roads are being recalled because severe corrosion can damage the lower intermediate steering shaft. This can cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and separate at the lower steering column bearing. Separation will result in complete loss of steering ability. Dealers will replace the lower intermediate steering shaft and inspect the upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing for damage, they will be repaired or replaced as necessary. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.
Additionally, Vehicle owners located where salt is not used who have concerns regarding their steering will have a one-time option to have their vehicles inspected and, if necessary, repaired.

Comments about Colorburst Earbuds:
When I was working at a Brookstone near me, my store had the same headphones in the picture of the review below, so I do not know what the new ones are like. However, the older ones (I didn't know there was a newer model until I read the review below) are great. I bought them as a backup earbuds, and because they were ridiculously cheap for a 2 day sale going on, and I was very surprised with their quality. Of course, you can't compare the sound quality to something like Beats by Dr. Dre, but they do a good job. There is a significant amount of bass without the sound being tinny, and the angled earbuds make them stay in your ear.

Comments about Colorburst Earbuds:
I had a pair of the old version of the Colorburst earbuds. When they broke, I ordered a new pair. I have been disappointed that this new version, while it sounds "OK" is lacking the rich bass the old version had. I also like how the old version angled in. Another disappointment is that the silicone ends on the new version are over metal ends and come off very easily. I just lost one of the ends again and can't find it. My husband still has his original pair. I took these from him and let him know he can't have them back. I am desperately looking on line with no luck to try to find more of the original version. Brookstone, bring them back!! Attached is a picture of the original version.

Lips have an extremely thin outer protective layer. As the body ages, the already thin layer becomes thinner. To compound the situation, lip skin does not have sweat or sebaceous glands. Without the usual protective layer of sweat and body oils, the lips dry out faster, become chapped more easily and can age faster than other areas of the skin. Satin Lips® Lip Mask is part of the effective Satin Lips® Set that also includes Satin Lips® Lip Balm. The Satin Lips® Lip Mask gently exfoliates dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless, preparing them for the best application of supermoisturizing Satin Lips® Lip Balm for soft, kissable lips.
The Satin Lips® Lip Mask contains miniature beads that gently, yet effectively, exfoliate dead surface skin cells that cause the lips to appear dull and lifeless.

The Walt Disney Company China Announces Local Adaptation 'Disney High School Musical: China'
BURBANK, Calif. and SHANGHAI, Nov. 22 — The Walt Disney Company in China today announced the start of production on its third local co-production project in just two years, "Disney High School Musical: China." Working with local partners Shanghai Media Group (SMG) and Huayi Brothers Media Corporation, the movie is planned for cinematic release in summer 2010.
Under development for over a year, and created uniquely for Chinese audiences, "Disney High School Musical: China" is the story of a new student who meets a gifted young man with whom she shares a secret passion for singing. With the help of their friends they overcome the odds to win an inter-school singing competition, and discover their true calling in the process.
"Disney's ongoing commitment to local content development underpins our strategy to connect with new audiences around the world," said Mr. Jason Reed, general manager, Walt Disney Studios International Production. "Our local team has done an amazing job and we are fortunate to be building on the Disney Channel's success by working with a world class cast and crew led by our producer Janet Yang and visionary director Shi Zheng Chen.
"The choice of the right stories and best local partners is key to the success of our localization strategy. Shanghai Media Group and Huayi Brothers Media Corporation are leaders in their field and their involvement and contribution to this project is invaluable," added Mr. Reed.
In 2007, the Studio's first Disney branded local co-production, the award-winning, "The Magic Gourd" was released, followed by "Roadside Romeo" from India in 2008, "Trail of the Panda" (China 2009) and the feature film, "Book of Masters" (Russian 2009), based on a classic Russian fairy tale which opened in first place at the box office in October. Disney's sixth local production "Zokkomon" is currently in development in India and is expected to open in 2010.
Celebrity Designer Mychael Darwin Unveils Apparel Collection Inspired by The Princess and the Frog
Designer Mychael Darwin — best known for creating one-of-a-kind limited edition leather jackets — and Disney Consumer Products are launching an all new outerwear collection in honor of Disney's newest and first African American Princess, Tiana. Arriving in time for the Holiday '09 release of Walt Disney Pictures' new animated film The Princess and the Frog, the collection is inspired by the warm textures and bright colors of the hand drawn animation of this highly anticipated animated film and will appeal to both the fashion conscious and the Disney devotee.
When asked about his design inspiration for the collection, Mychael Darwin said, "I drew from my own Southern upbringing, the richness of the film's country landscapes and the beauty and grace from my own true life princess — my daughter. It was also important to me that I create a line that appeals to the inner desire of all women to be treated like royalty, specifically as they work hard to achieve their dreams."
Mychael Darwin Denim & Leather for Disney for women, tweens and girls consists of limited edition Italian all-leather jackets with hand-carved .925 sterling silver buttons, featuring custom-printed leather with beautifully artistic background scenes reminiscent of The Princess and the Frog.

New England Nationals in Epping: Hot rods, cool event
A longtime employee of John Force Racing, Miglizzi got down and dirty, and intently studied the concrete racing surface of the dragstrip at New England Dragway a little after noon on Wednesday. Then studied it some more.
Miglizzi's boss, John Force, and rest of the racers of the National Hot Rod Association hit New England Dragway this weekend for the NHRA New England Nationals.
"This is it; it's really going to happen," said Joe Lombardo, the dragway's general manager. "You start to realize you're going to make history for the track as well as the state. You kind of lose sight of that a bit and don't think of it that way when you're doing all the work to get ready for it. But you think about it as it ramps up. This is really going to be cool."While John Force, one of his racing daughters, Brittany, and fellow racers Robert Hight and Bob Tosca III were down in Boston doing promotional work at lunchtime on Wednesday, preparations for the weekend continued at the dragway.
Brightly colored haulers carrying the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycles that will compete this weekend jockeyed into position and unloaded at the track.
A "Fast & Flirty" Courtney Force collapsible cooler — coozie, if you prefer — to keep your favorite beverage cold, goes for $5 at the John Force Racing Travelin' Roadshow trailer. Same price for the "Fastest Force: Brittany" one supporting her sister.
"Everyone is so excited to have the NHRA here," Schibbelhute said. "Excited is an understatement. The public is all talking about it. Anyone who knows you work here is asking about it. They don't stop talking about it."Miglizzi was back out on the track, down on his stomach again on his wheeled platform and looking down the track through his binoculars. He got back up and jotted a few more particulars down in his notebook and then headed back to the starting line to get the temperature of the track again.It was 107 degrees at 11 a.m. under blue skies. It was up to 112.5 at 11:30 a.m. and 122 at 1:15 p.m., he reported.
"We're one big family," he said.
One big family throwing one big block party — Lombardo expects crowds of 17,000 to 20,000 each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday — this weekend.

I have a pair of these for my rear wheels on an 04 cobra and they have been fantastic. At 550hp I can get them to hook when I need to even in first and second gear. At the same time I have no problem throwing the back end out while keep them in control. I have had mine for going on a year now with over 10,000 miles in them and they are lasting great. Little to no road noise. They are so good they always outshine my front tires.

Haven't had Continentals on the car since new. Over the past 16 years, and 4 sets of rubber later, these are the best set yet. Pirelli P Zero, Bridgestone S-02, and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx have all been wonderful. But these tires have the best all around performance the car has ever known. They also run smoother and quieter, somehow even on 18's at 36 psi doing 120 km/h with the top down. Will look for another set if the car continues to last.

I have compared alot of beds (jumped, rolled around on them at stores, yes, that was me) and found this one to be excellent. (I got the firm euro top which looks to be unavailable in the King now)I had received my bed whilst I was in the hospital with a kidney medical condition. When I returned home with still pain in the kidney area, I knew this was going to be the test. I slept very soundly, as though I was at a high end hotel, and the next morning, I sprang out of bed with no residual pain. I would recommend this bed to my mother.The beds I was looking at and what I had budgeted for was between $1,500-2,000. This one rates right up there with the ones I had previously tested.Happy Shopping!
After reading the other reviews we were sold. The bed is super soft, almost too soft, took me a few days to adjust. But now I cannot remember ever sleeping so good. The bed is an A+ and the service from Overstock was A+++. We ordered the bed on Sunday and had it Saturday, 6DAYS!! I would highly suggest both to anyone!!
Very apprehensive about buying a mattress on line but after looking in shops and reading reviews decided to go for it. Shipping was super quick and cheap. The matress is great. I could have handled it a little more plush but it is perfect for my husband. We've had it for over a month and I still go to sleep with a smile on my face because I love my bed!!
I received it a week ago and I been waiting to write a review after sleeping on it for at least one week. Mattress are great, not too soft, not too firm. We been sleeping pretty good since we got it. About the transfer, I think it is pretty good. My husband used to complaint a lot of me waken him up when I leave the bed. Not anymore! The only thing is that the fabric that cover the mattress is like satin, is not cotton like the new mattress. It did not bother me at all since anyway it is covered with mattress cover and the sheets. We think it is a great mattress for the price. The delivery people were very professional and took all the package material with them.
This mattress is so comfortable. Both my husband & I love it. We looked at lots of mattresses but this one seemed the best on price etc. My daughter had bought one a couple of years ago & told us we couldn't go wrong. I'd recommend it to everyone. The men that set it up called before they came, were prompt & it took just minutes to unwrap & set up. They took away the trash. It was great that they took away our old mattress. Let them know you want them to pick up when they call you. I
This was such a disappointment. Being a Serra, I had high hopes. First they delivered the wrong mattress. It was suppose to be the thicker one (deeper). I knew immediately it was a bad choice. Feels like a cheap hotel one. Pillow top - well, not really. I'm getting rid of it, since I have so many more aches and pains. Be careful ordering from here. I've had a lot better luck with **********.
My wife and I did not want to drive 40min to a mattress store where they don't even stock King size beds. So we decided to look online for one. We looked and priced out everything we could find and overstock.com is by far the cheapest. It's the only site that we found that does not charge extra for a low profile box spring also. I enjoy a soft top and my wife enjoys a harder bed. Without ever laying on this bed we decided to purchase it because of the price. It took about 3wks to process and arrive but it was well worth the wait. We have both slept better then ever since the bed has arrived. We are 90miles north of NYC but the delivery guys were from CT and were very helpful looking over the bed for any damage on arrival. I would have never thought you could buy a bed online and be happy with it, but this proves that you can. The bed is perfect for both my wife and I.
I was afraid of ordering this mattress because of the reviews but I took a risk and I am so happy I did. The mattress set was delivered and there were black skid marks on two of the corners, I called Overstock, sent them pictures and I was issued a partial refund which I was very satisfied with. The reviews stated that the mattress sinks in the middle, I had this mattress since Sept 2012 and it has not sinked. It is very soft, comfortable and does not make me sweat. I love my new mattress set, sometimes reviews help and other times you just have to take the risk yourself. I highly recommend this mattress set!
Really great mattress! We had a really expensive queen size mattress but wanted to upgrade to a king, so I was nervous it wouldn't compare to the quality of our queen. Definitely just as luxurious. I'm so happy with this purchase!
I must say that I am very pleased with the mattress that I received! Needless to say, I was very nervous about purchasing a item of this caliber without physically viewing it first, but I have no regrets. The mattress completely exceeded my expectations! I can honestly say that I will definitely recommend this item to my family and friends! I also had a very pleasant experience with the delivery service. I declined the warranty based on reviews; however, I did purchase a mattress pad for protection of my investment! I totally stand behind my purchase and I will definitely continue to purchase items of this caliber from Ovetstock!
