Human Rights In Jammu And Kashmir > Page 1
Pakistan's unrelenting offensive against India has been conducted on two fronts ... sponsoring terrorism in India and conducting a worldwide propaganda campaign. In the context of Jammu and Kashmir, the propaganda disseminated by Pakistan has concentrated on alleged violations of the Human Rights of the Kashmiris by the Indian Government and its security forces.
The first and foremost Human Right is the right to life, And it is the bounden duty of any State to take necessary action to safeguard the life, property and dignity of its people. In the context of Kashmir it is essential to examine who is responsible for the creation of an environment where human rights can be violated. After all the Indian security forces have been present in the State of Jammu and Kashmir since 1947 and never was any hint of any human rights violations of the people voiced. On the contrary the presence of the Indian security forces state has been a source of assurance to the people of a state that has been subjected to repeated aggression by Pakistan. The people of Jammu and Kashmir, including those of the Valley refused to be duped by Pakistan's blandishments in the three wars with Pakistan- eloquent testimony to the people's faith in the Indian security forces and the Indian polity.
What then is the new element that has been introduced that has triggered off the whole debate on the question of Human Rights in Jammu and Kashmir? The answer has been given by International Human Rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Asia Watch who have had to acknowledge the pervasive presence of terrorism in the Valley and have documented the depredations of the terrorists.
The Vienna Declaration passed at the end of the World Human Rights Conference in 1993, the resolution adopted by the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly also in 1993, the Resolution 1993/48 adopted by the Commission on Human Rights, all stress the need for the international community to combat terrorism and condemn terrorist activities as a gross violation of Human Rights.
The real question that needs addressing is the continuous assault on democratic institutions perpetrated by the armed terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir acting at the behest of Pakistan.
In his book Future of political violence General Richard Clutterbuck states ".. The ultimate civil right, however, is the right to live. A violent minority, whatever its politics, has no right to kill, and no claim to such a right must ever be allowed to override the right of the majority to live in peace.. ". It is precisely this right that the a violent minority has arrogated to itself in the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
The pillars of a free democratic society are the judiciary, the press and free political activity.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's math education department is recruiting a different kind of candidate for a new summer program — sixth-grade math whizzes.
The Achieving Mathematics Excellence Camp is a summer camp for incoming sixth-grade students who excel at math and attend public schools rated as a C or lower in Iberia, Vermilion and Lafayette parishes.
The camp is part of a larger initiative that launched last year at the university to boost students' interests in the math and sciences by providing professional development to middle school teachers.
The university received a $1.8 million National Science Foundation grant to create the Louisiana Mathematics Masters in the Middle program to provide courses for middle-school math teachers to achieve an elementary math specialist certification.
As part of the grant program, the teachers produce a summer camp to nurture middle-school students' talents and interest in mathematics.
"We'd like to maintain the academic momentum that these students have achieved. They've already shown that they have potential and we want to further unlock their potential," said Peter Sheppard, head of UL-Lafayette's department of curriculum and instruction.
The 10-day camp provides students 50 hours of supplemental instruction based on an Olympics theme with students working out their math skills in the Geometry Gym, Ratio Racetrack and Algebra Arena, Sheppard said.
"This is not a camp where they're going to sit down and do ditto sheets. They'll be actively learning and having a blast," he said.
So far, 13 teachers from the three-parish area participated in the program, taking course work over the summer and throughout the school year.
Teachers in the program already have a master's degree and their specialist certification may be applied to doctoral studies in educational leadership.
Sheppard said the specialist program is the first of its kind in the state.
The camp will continue over the next three years with students' progress tracked as part of the grant.
Camp enrollment is capped at 60 students at each parish site and spots are still available, Sheppard said. Interested parents may email Sheppard at firstname.lastname@example.com or call him at (337) 482-1514.

I am always anxious for the translation to come out so that I can understand exactly what is happening between the characters. For some reason in this chapter I do not find it to be a necessity. The activities are plain as day and I could sit and watch with the volume muted and not miss a thing.

I guess this is supposed to make up for the slow chapters of character developement.
Nu-huh folks. It's not what I signed on for. I wanted to see more of the thought process as Nagi gets in touch with his inner Dragon God. Not much thinking here. Plenty of action, no explanation.
This story is headed for the big swirly unless the plotlines can come together. I don't EVER see where the author is taking us, but so far my trust has been abused, but never broken. Yeah, I know I'm sounding cranky, but I expect a lot from this story and no understanding of the subplot doesn't help.
DANG. Can that boy get busy or what?

Kang Shichan from Aflame Inferno - MC is a womanizer, it's not shown but strongly implied he sleeps with a lots of women
Koinzell from Ubel blatt - MC sleeps with a few secondary female characters, I've droppet that series after a few volumes, so I'm not sure about his current count
Takeru from MuvLuv - I'm not sure if he counts, he sleeps with at least one girl in each alternative history
You could also count MS of such manga as:
Eden: It's an Endless World!
Iketeru Futari
Otogi no Machi no Rena (well, MC is a girl, but her male friend is almost as important as her and he scores some)
I read those manga a long time ago, so I don't remember actual score of MC from those manga. They slept at least with main female character and some secondary characters.

In what was a huge play in the Green Bay-New York game, Mike Pereira, the NFL rules analyst for Fox Network, said he would have reversed the call.
Pereira used to oversee all NFL officials.
The Packers got a huge break when wide receiver Greg Jennings was ruled down by contact.
Despite a replay that showed the ball coming out as he was going down, the officials did not overturn the call.
The Packers went onto to score a touchdown and tie the game 10-10.

Album Drop: This Week's New Releases, From Pearl Jam To David Gray
It's new release Tuesday, so it's time to take the latest tunes for a spin. This week Pearl Jam gets de-grunged, Basement Jaxx bring down the house, Sean Kingston burns it on the dance floor, and David Gray belts out some tunes, just for you. So, let's get into the groove, after the jump.
Pearl Jam, Backspacer
He may not seem quite as dreamy as he did back in the '90s when his posters lined your bedroom walls and you longed to run your fingers through his greasy hair, but Eddie Vedder still sounds great. This album feels like a serious return to form, with great rock songs and a gorgeous ballad, "The End."
Basement Jaxx, Scars
Brits Felix Burton and Simon Ratcliffe of Basement Jaxx are still pumping out the kind of house tunes that put a wiggle in your backside. "Raindrops" might be enough to finally get "You used to be my Romeo" out of your head. Notice how I used the word "might." Another highlight of the album—tracks with Kelis, Santigold, and Yoko Ono.
Islands, Vapours
And now it's time for a little Canadian indie rock. The third album from Islands is being called their most accessible yet, which in their case is a good thing. These songs will remind you of Nick Diamonds' original band, The Unicorns.
Sean Kingston, Tomorrow
Can we talk for a second about how Jamaican reggae-rapper Sean Kingston is only 19? He bust onto the scene with "Beautiful Girls" two years ago, and now he's back with his sophomore album. If you've been to a club any time in the past four months, you've probably already danced to "Fire Burning."
David Gray, Draw the Line
Why, oh why, do lyrics sounds soooo much better when sung through the mouth of a British hottie? Singer, songwriter, piano pounder, and guitar strummer David Gray knows how to break your heart and he'll do it over and over again on his new album.

White spots in the pupil
On occasion, the pupil of the eye may appear white. This is never a normal condition and requires immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist. The causes of a cloudy or white cornea are different than those of a white pupil but are also significant and require immediate attention. Cataracts can also cause the pupil to appear white.

2 Inglewood Officers Hurt In Confrontation
According to KCAL9, police turned off the lights around the home about and within 15 minutes the man had turned himself in. The two women in the house with him -- a woman described as his girlfriend and her 14-year-old daughter, were also free.
The shooting was reported around near
"Our officers received a call of a family disturbance in the area here,"
Mejia said two officers were injured, but only one was believed to have actually been shot. The nature of the second officer's injuries was not immediately known.
The officers were both taken to
Mejia said he did not know the details of initial call that brought officers to the scene, only that it was a "family disturbance." Witnesses told reporters at the scene that a teenage girl came out of the house screaming, then the suspect came out and dragged her back inside.
A Los Angeles County Fire Department inspector said paramedics responded to the area in response to a shooting, but were not permitted to approach the scene due to the possibility of an active shooter. He said one shooting victim was apparently taken to a hospital by police.
The gunman holed up inside the home after the shooting, during which police did return fire. It was unknown if the suspect was injured.
A neighbor told reporters that a man was firing a semi-automatic weapon from the home, which is apparently owned by a woman who was inside the house during the standoff. The witness said one officer was able to limp away after the shooting broke out, but another appeared to be unconscious and had to be carried away.
The witness said the shooting was likely the result of a domestic situation. She said brother of the woman who lives in the home contacted police and was shouting from a nearby street corner, asking police to get his sister out of the house.
Several homes in the neighborhood were evacuated, and Mejia urged residents who do not need to immediately return home to avoid the area.

Country Guitar TABs And How To Read Them
You know, us guitar players really have it easy when it comes to writing down and reading music. We devised our own system which is far simpler to use and understand than traditional music notation. It's called guitar tablature or TAB for short. Simply walk into any guitar store and you'll find 100's of guitar books all written in TAB.
So at risk of stating the obvious, it's essential that you become very proficient at reading it.
- You'll be able to buy a guitar book and teach yourself from it at home
- You'll be able to learn the exact transcriptions from your favorite songs
- You'll be able to write down and keep your own music
Learning to read traditional music notation fluently is quite a task especially if you didn't learn it as a child. Guitar tab however takes just just a few minutes to understand and only a few days to master!
Here's How To Read Country Music Guitar TABs
Let's begin by taking a look at a single stave of guitar tablature.
The first thing to note is that it's always very easy to identify one because it will have TAB written vertically at the beginning of each stave.
If you count the horizontal lines you'll see that there are six of them, each line represents a different string on your guitar. The top line represents the first string, the next line is the second string and so on.
Listen To Me Explain TAB
See the picture below...
The notes are indicated by numbers written directly over the lines (strings). In the example below you can see that the number 1 is written over the 6th line meaning that you should play the 1st fret on the 6th string. In this way you can see how tablature is actually very similar to a simple grid system.
Wherever you see 0 written it indicates that the open string should be played i.e. without any note being fretted along the fretboard. In the picture below you can see that a 0 (zero) is over the 1st string meaning you should play the 1st string open.
With tablature it's also possible to show whether notes should be played all once such as in a chord or one by one such as in a scale or melody. The diagram below shows how a D major chord would be written in TAB and written in this way you would play all the notes at once since they are stacked one on top of the other in a straight vertical line.
The second example shows how a D major arpeggio would be written in that the notes are spread out across the stave indicating that you should play them in order of sequence, one individual note at a time. This is also how guitar licks would be tabbed out.
It's easy to find a lot of free country guitar tabs which you can print out simply by doing a search in Google. In fact, there are many sites dedicated to country songs and tabs for beginners, lead guitar tabs, chords and so on all of which are completely free to access and learn from.
I'd like to leave you with one final important consideration. It's wise to take advantage of all the country guitar lessons you can find however your final goal should always be to eventually develop the ability to teach yourself whatever you want to learn on guitar. Knowing how to read TAB fluently and feeling very comfortable with it will give you a lot of freedom in that you can take full advantage of the many thousands of guitar books for sale.
You'll no longer need a guitar teacher to teach you anything, you'll be able to do it yourself.

The Cavaliers signed undrafted rookie center Micheal Eric to a three-year contract on Friday. The first year has a partial guarantee and the last two years are non-guaranteed.
Eric, 24, averaged 9.0 points and 8.8 rebounds as a senior at Temple, but a knee injury eliminated any chance of him being drafted. He went to summer league with the Cavs and averaged 4.0 points and 3.8 rebounds, impressing the coaching staff with his defensive ability.
Cavs coach Byron Scott even compared Eric's defensive potential to Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka, who was named to the All-Defensive Team last season.
"He has to look at himself as Ibaka, a guy that came in who was raw, but defensively was a great help defender and a great one-on-one defender, then your offensive game kind of comes," Scott said. "That's how Ibaka has developed and I think he (Eric) has the same type of potential."
Eric is a native of Nigeria and didn't begin playing basketball until he was in high school.

Xtreme Hot Sauce Review
Tags: garlic, hot sauce, review, Xtreme Hot Sauce
The maker touts this Xtreme Hot Sauce as one that is 100% all natural. This idea is reinforced by the plain brown label, reminiscent of what your local butcher might use to wrap your fresh cut meat in. The large x dominating the logo, combined with a vessel shaped liked that of a hip-pocket sized bottle of hooch completes this attention-grabbing package.
Ok; bottle open. First whiff gives an unmistakable hit of fresh garlic. Very strong and extremely pungent. My wife thought I was chopping garlic for a recipe, it filled the air that much. We poured about a half-teaspoon onto a tostitos scoop chip. It comes out of the bottle very slowly, due to the large garlic chunks. Continue Reading

This week's Three-and-Out comes courtesy of Ben Breiner of The Star Press in Muncie, Ind.:
First down: Ball State had turned up its passing game this season in a big way. Despite the sense the Cardinals were an up-and-down spread team, last year they were fairly balanced between run and pass, averaging more than 200 yards on the ground. This year with a less experienced offensive line, they've unleashed Keith Wenning full force, and he is on track for a number of records, throwing to WRs Willie Snead, Jordan Williams and Jamill Smith. RB Jahwan Edwards has been productive in spots, but not to the level he reached a season ago.
Second down: The defense is a tad better than the stats make it look. But there's no getting around the fact the Cardinals' defense isn't where the staff wants it, and the raw numbers bear that out. Particularly, the run defense has been a problem, giving up 4.9 yards per carry, 5.3 against FBS competition. But the secondary, led by senior cornerback Jeffery Garrett, ranks a respectable 24th nationally in yards per attempt allowed. Then there's the turnover total of 20, second-most in the country.
Third down: Ball State tends to be a pretty strong road team, partially because it seems to avoid penalties and sticks to its pared-down game plan. Coach Pete Lembo is fond of saying "We do what we do," and there's a grain of truth to that. His team is 8-3 in true road games the past two seasons and hasn't lost many games that it wasn't expected to. The discipline factor showed most clearly against Virginia, where the Cavaliers simply piled up the turnovers and penalties as Ball State took advantage.
Fourth and goal: This is a program that has just sort of been chugging along the past two seasons, compiling a 17-5 record somewhat in the shadows of the Northern Illinois freight train. Part of that lower profile might be a byproduct of the persona the team projects. Lembo likes referencing Seinfeld to call his squad "A show about nothing," and they often fall back on an approach of being ultra-focused on the preparation at hand, not getting too high or too low. Now that profile might rise as they chug toward a collision course with a Nov. 13 showdown with the Huskies, likely for the Mid-American Conference West Division title.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your fast response! Unfortunately, i don't have any
options to configure VLANs (ip addr.) under the LAN interface page. The
VLAN interfaces just don't show up. I don't understand why.
I checked for pfSense but it was unclear if my WRAP SBC was supported.

To schedule a tour or visit please click here. You will find space at the end of the request form to provide additional information about your request or ask questions.
UMMA has a long tradition of service to K-12 students and educators of southeastern Michigan. Over 5,000 children visit the museum each year, most in class tours. Young students tour the Museum in small groups and are encouraged to discover their own relationship with the art.
Academically enriching and great fun, docent-led tours enable K–12 students to understand art, history, culture, geography, and much more. Tours may also focus on a particular culture such as monuments of China, ceramics in Korea, or American history. Alternatively they may be thematic and address units like neighbors and communities, shapes and colors, friends and family. Explore our new menu of curricular offerings for tours that integrate classroom and gallery learning.
UMMA's creative and experienced docents will always work with teachers to tailor tours to make them appropriate to the individual classroom curriculum. A docent will contact the classroom teacher to discuss the theme, content, and logistics of the tour. Docent tours develop observation skills and visual literacy, confidence and critical thinking.
UMMA Docent tours are always free. Tours for school groups are available by request at least three weeks in advance. The Museum can accommodate up to sixty students in one visit.
Subsidies to defray school bus charges are available. Please see Bus Parking and Reimbursement.
UMMA's docent-guided school tours are supported by the Richard and Rosann Noel Fund for Museum Education, Toyota, the Dr. Albert Bennett UMMA Education Fund, and other generous donors.

My hair type is mostly 2c with a bit of 2b. But, for some reason, I have a bunch of very wiry, kinky hairs growing out of my head and I don't know why. They're very kinky, almost like a zigzag pattern, which doesn't fit in with my wavy hair at all.
Why do I have these?
I have them too :/ I think they're normal, but I pull them out when I see them anyway. Usually if I use a lot of moisture, they're less noticeable.
My hair is kinky as well. I just live with it!

JACKSON, Mich. (AP) -- A woman who lived for months with the corpse of a companion was arraigned Friday on charges of cashing his pension and Social Security checks.
Linda Chase, 71, appeared in court three weeks after police found the remains of Charles Zigler in a chair in the living room of their Jackson house, 40 miles south of Lansing, in southern Michigan.
Chase is not charged with any crimes related to Zigler's death or her failure to report it. Police believe the 67-year-old died of natural causes in December 2010, although Chase said it was last year.
Chase is charged with forgery for converting checks worth $28,000 intended for Zigler. A judge released her after advising her to appear for all court dates.
"I can't even walk. Why would I run?" Chase replied.
She declined to comment to the Jackson Citizen Patriot (http://bit.ly/O36qcB) outside court. An attorney has not been assigned yet.
Police entered the home on July 6 after Zigler's relatives said they hadn't heard from him and couldn't get inside. Chase has said she didn't want to part with the body and talked to it while watching NASCAR races on TV.
Prosecutor Hank Zavislak said a mental-health exam is likely before the case moves forward.
"She knows exactly what she has done," Zigler's nephew, Aaron Dryer, said. "It wasn't because she missed him or because she couldn't live without him. It was for the sole purpose of taking that money. ... Our family wants her in jail."

'Calle 54' takes jazz's high road
By Mike Clark, USA TODAY
(out of four)
Stars : Tito Puente, Gato Barbieri, Eliane Elias, Bebo Valdes, Chucho
Director : Fernando Trueba
Distributor : Miramax
Rating: G
Ken Burns' Jazz was made by a historian, which partially explains why
its subjects spend a lot of time talking. But in the documentary Calle 54,
most lips are zipped unless they're wrapped around brass. That's partially
explained by the fact that director Fernando Trueba is an enthusiast of jazz
(subcategory: Latin), so he is happy simply allowing great musicians to get
in front of the camera and wail.
But, of course, it isn't that simple. To be sure, the late
conga god Tito Puente, barefoot pianist Eliane Elias and famed movie-score saxophonist
Gato Barbieri, among others, would be rewarding to watch and hear under any
circumstances. Yet, as Trueba proved in 1992's Oscar-winning Belle Epoque, he
has a flair for vibrant color schemes. And here he's predominantly shooting
in a studio (not in live performance), where he can control camera movement,
lighting and background palate.
Add lightning-bolt editing, and the result is almost enough
to make an audience levitate. Wim Wenders' The Buena Vista Social Club,
while musically superficial in comparison, offered more political context. It
wouldn't have hurt Calle 54 to have told us a little more about its participants,
but there's not been a more infectious jazz performance screen treat since 1959's
classic Jazz on a Summer's Day.

Sunset over the Dedham Mountains
NOTE: Boston Common is no longer being updated. For the latest Boston-area blog posts, please see Universal Hub
We were driving down Centre Street in West Roxbury this afternoon, headed toward Dedham, when I looked up and saw one of those optical illusions that make you think you live in Colorado - low-lying clouds that looked like a mountain range. "Hey, look at that," I said to Greta, "Don't those clouds look like mountains?"
Of course, being six, she hasn't learned yet to meekly accept adult pronouncements (and here's hoping she never does): "How do you know they're NOT mountains?" Um, because I just know there aren't any mountains in Dedham, I told her, but somehow, that just didn't seem like the right answer - there SHOULD be mountains there!
Previous: Snitchin' on Stop Snitchin'
Next: Taking in the sea air
christine says (on January 18, 2005 02:50 PM):
I experienced the same optical illusion driving on Green Street in Marblehead, towards Rte 114. I thought it looked exactly like a distant mountain range, and said to meself "self, that view would vastly improve this town."
by the time I made it to i-95, the illusion was gone. it was dark. and i was sad.

3 local ships extend deployment amid Gaza conflict (US warships turn around)
Source: Pilot Online.com
Three Hampton Roads-based warships reversed course this weekend and were steaming back to the eastern Mediterranean Sea today as U.S. officials kept a close eye on the escalating conflict between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza.
The amphibious warships Iwo Jima, New York and Gunston Hall were scheduled to return next week but instead will remain on standby, said Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello, a Navy spokesman.
Sources told CNN that the ships could be needed in the event Americans are evacuated from Israel in the coming days, though officials said evacuation remains a remote possibility.
I really want to emphasize that no active mission planning is underway, Servello said. This really is about due diligence.

The case here, and no I am not trying to minimize what happened to the Liberty, but there were surrounding countries ready to destroy Israel.
This particular conflict is not even similar

3. I fail to see how this "is a lot different."
We are now going to have the Iwo Jima, New York and Gunston Hall (like the USS Liberty) in international waters near Israel at a time of belligerence.
The problem with the Liberty is that she and her crew did not have the protection of another nearby ship.
Our Naval Command should be smart enough to learn from the experience so that no other American ship would be sent by itself and be exposed to an extended "accidental" attack.
The Liberty was outside of Israeli waters but was monitoring air traffic and radio communications. Until the time of the attack, we had no information that Israel would attack one of our ships. It was a mistake to send the Liberty, by itself, to the area.

4. What?
"Israel was actually fighting for its survival in the 67 war."
Sadat parking tanks in the Sinai for three days does not make an existential threat. Given that it was Israel that initiated the war by attacking said tanks, and pretty easily pressed right through to the Canal zone, saying Israel was "fighting for its survival" is just a lie.
if you want to try to argue that Israel was in its right to do all that, go ahead, but enough of this "helpless infant struggling for life" horse shit mythology, okay?

15. They did a pre-emptive attack because Nasser was calling for the total destruction of Isreal, and
mobilizing his troops along the border.
Israel would have had great difficulty if Egypt attacked first.
That 6 day war in no way justifies what happened to the Liberty
However, there was a good reason to believe that Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries were united in seeing the destruction of Israel at that time.
In 1973, Israel did delay, and sustained many casualties because of that delay.

Article saying Nasser had planned the War:
Articles that point out, that the Egyptian movement of troops was to little to be any threat to Israel AND Israel knew that.
Report that Sadat (Egyptian President in 1973) planned the Yom Kipper war, to defeat his own army as well as revenge for 1967:

10. Nasser, right
Boy, I'm just on a roll tonight.
We can't forget the role the USSR played i nthe debacle, either;
The Soviet Union exerted a troublesome influence on the events leading up to the war by feeding Arab suspicions about Israel. This culminated in the delivery to the Syrians and Egyptians of a false alert on May 13 that Israel had massed troops near the Israeli-Syrian border in preparation for an attack on Syria.
Although it is not clear that the Soviets actually desired a war, a recent book by Gideon Remez and Isabella Ginor, Foxbats over Dimona: The Soviets' Nuclear Gamble in the Six-Day War, makes the controversial contention that the Soviet Union intentionally sparked the war in order to justify an attack against Israel's nuclear facility in Dimona. Israel's rapid and overwhelming success undermined the plan, the authors argue.
The bolded text is why Nasser was making fast alliances and moving his forces - not because he planned to attack Israel, but because the USSR had told Nasser that Israel was planning to attack. At the time, Egypt and Syria were united as one country; the United Arab republic.

27. So my reference to the Article that Nasser wanted the war is wrong????
I was careful, I referenced comments from BOTH sides on the issue of who really started the 1967 war, the longer papers point out the arguments that it appears to be Egypt and Syria but Israel attacked first. In many ways that explains the rapid pace of the Israeli Victory, it did NOT attack an army set for a Defensive Battle, but one set for an Offensive battle.
When you plan an attack you want your supplies as close to the front as possible, so it can follow the army on the march. In a defensive situation, you want the supplies further back, so when you retreat you retreat to your base of supply.
If the Egyptians wanted to attack, its supplies for its army would have been right with the Army, to follow into Israel. When the Israeli Army attacked, the Egyptian Army was pushed back, leaving its supplies behind. With no supplies to fall back on, you get a rapid defeat (This seems to be the main reason for the Russian loses in June through September 1941, Stalin seems to have planned to attack the Germans in Poland, but Hitler attacked first).
The problem is Israel has NEVER claimed it took much supplies in the 1967 War, it captured a lot of equipment, but Israel never claimed to have captured to much in supplies. Which implies it recovered a lot of vehicles and front line equipment, but little fuel, spare parts and food.
Thus it is hard to determine what happened in the 1967 War, Israel could have been a true preemptive attack, and forced the Egyptian army to abandoned their supplies OR the Egyptians never had any supplies to lose. Either way, the Egyptian Army was a quick defeat in 1967.
The Article I cited that clearly states Nasser had planned the War:
On the other hand, the CounterPunch Article in relation to the 1973 Yom Kippur war tends to follow the following scenario
1. The Egyptian Army attacked, and then brought its supplies with them,. Correct action of an attacking army.
2. When the Egyptian Army was on the defensive, it kept falling back on its supplies
In the CounterPunch Article the attack was halted by Sadat but that is a separate issue, read the Counterpunch article for WHY the Egyptian army stopped. My point is in the Yom Kippur War, the Egyptian Army acted like an army should in both is offensive and defensive phases. The Egyptian Army did NOT basically dissolved in 1973, like it had in 1967 for it had supplies to fall back on. Supplies just behind the front line that the Army could retreat to and resupply itself. That is normal for any Army on the defensive. That was NOT the situation in 1967, but it was the situation in 1973.
Thus it is possible for the 1967 War to be either a preemptive war by Israel to prevent an Egyptian Attack, OR a simple war of aggression that Israel planed and executed (and an argument can be made it could have been BOTH, Israel, seeing an attack by Egypt then implemented its own offensive war as a preemptive war instead of an offensive war).
On the other hand, the 1973 Yom Kippur war, makes no sense. Egypt had pieced the Israeli defenses, the passes mentioned in the article were a better defensive position, but unmanned at the time of the attack. A quick march to those passes would have opened up Israel to a full blown Egyptian attack, thus the Israeli decision to attack Syria instead makes no sense UNLESS Israel already knew those passes would NOT be taken. i.e. the Egyptian army would NOT move Eastward and actually threaten Israel.
Something was going on in the 1973 War, as the Counterpunch article points. The actions of the Sadat and Israeli makes no sense, unless they was an understanding between Israel, Sadat and the US as to roughly what will happen. Sadat thus could appear to be helping Syria, while Israel destroyed the Syrian Army, then the Egyptian army could be saved by the US intervention but only after the Egyptian army had been defeated. Sadat came out on top, he fought a war with Israel, the other generals were discredited for their defeat in that war, he knew he would get the Suez Canal opened up which would improve his support in Western Europe (and bring with it money to expand the Canal to permit even larger ships to use the Canal).
One of the concepts people have a problem with is the concept of Winning by Losing. Sometime, just showing up and losing is all you need to win what you are fighting for. Sadat wanted the Suez canal open, what he did military showed to the world that the Suez canal was a bad peace line and thus Israel could abandoned it (In many ways, to many people in the US and Israel had come to see the canal as a military impediment that Israel had to hold, something people with actual military training said was rot. Thus people had to see that the Canal was NOT the barrier people had come to think it was between 1967 and 1973).
Thus Sadat saw more in Fighting and LOSING then he saw in Fighting and Winning. The most Egypt would get was the Sinai, Syria would get less territory, but territory that had value as farm land, not the desert lands of the Sinai. i.e. the VALUE of the land Syria would recover would be greater to Syria then the Sinai was to Egypt. The big thing for Sadat was the Suez Canal, which he did win in the Yom Kippur war (it was re-opened soon afterward, then the rest of the Sinai returned, with restrictions as to how many Egyptian Military units were allowed in the Sinai, but only after Camp David during the Carter Administration).
Thus Sadat won everything he immediately wanted when he went to war, the opening of the Suez Canal, even while he lost the war. The Counter punch Article goes into other issues of why Sadat was willing to lose the war, for by losing his position inside Egypt was strengthened.

14. You have your view, I have mine. The rendition you just presented is horseshit mythology.
It was Nasser, NOT Sadat who ordered the Egyptian troops to the border.
When Nasser ordered UN forces that were stationed on the Egyptian-Israeli border out, that was the first warning. In May Egypt ordered
a blockade of Israel through the Straits of Tiran. That was the second warning. At the same time Syria increased its border clashes with Israel along the golan Heights and mobilized its troops.
In May Nasser and Hussein signed a mutual defense pack, followed by one with Iraq. In June the Arab states began mobilizing their troops while Nasser and other Egyptian leader intensified their anti-Israeli rhetoric and called for a total destruction against Israel.
Egypt had their weapons supplied from the Soviets, including plans.
It is because Israel could NOT survive a first strike that they took a pre-emptive strike against Egypt
At that time it wasn't just tanks that Egypt had, they had Soviet planes, which were also destroyed before they could take off
It isn't mythology.

17. Again, take note of the Soviet involvement
Think from Nasser's perspective.
Your major ally has just handed you information that a nation that invaded yours ten years ago, is planning to do so again. do you
A) wad it up and throw it back in your ally's face, saying "lol, no, they would never, they're too nice!"
B) take it seriously and muster your forces in preparation?
obviously, you'd take B. Which is what Nasser did.
Look at what you just said;
In May Nasser and Hussein signed a mutual defense pack, followed by one with Iraq.
Do you know what a defense pact means? Do you understand the idea of such a thing?
This is followed by Nasser moving forces into the Sinai and warning the UN. And they just sort of sat there for three days. Maybe they were hoping that the Israelis would be blinded by hte sunlight reflecting off the MiG cockpits?
Now, of course, Israel at the meantime isn't aware of the false report from the Soviets to the Egyptians (i've heard claims that it WASN'T false, but, well, i'm going with it being fake, due to lack of strong evidence). Israel sees Egypt communicating with its allies and moving troops, and.. .yeah, I don't really blame Israel for getting a little freaked about that.
Too bad both sides of this pending conflict had both vowed to not communicate with the other, huh? There was no call from Egypt going "Hey Israel, this thing the Russians gave us, uh... what the fuck?" nor was there a call from Israel to Egypt going "Man, Nasser, we see tanks out there, what are you doing?"
As I said. If you want to argue that Israel thought it was justified, whatever, like I said, I can't blame Israel from getting freaked out over it. But nor can I blame Egypt for getting freaked over the intel they had. And in the tense situation that resulted, it was Israel that fired the first shot and coasted to an easy victory in the Sinai and Golan. Israel's survival was never at stake.

20. Yes Israel fired the first shot, no question about that. In the 1973 war Israel did delay, and
suffered for it, though they were more equipped in 1973 than in 1967.
Probably the most amazing thing was the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt initiated by Sadat. At that time it was considered that peace between Egypt and Israel was the least likely to happen.
That is why when george bush became president, the possibility for peace was put back 40 years. Every President since nixon had tried to facilitate a peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israel. It was george bush who could have taken over where Bill Clinton left, but instead did just the opposite, and left the possibility for a two state solution even more distant

22. And 1973 was a push by the UAR to reclaim Sinai and Golan
Also not an existential crisis. I mean, while we're on the subject. See, all I'm saying is that Israel's existence wasn't in doubt. A case could be made for that meme applying in 1948, but given the utter ineffectiveness of the Arab forces, it's still not a very effective case. Just as the pro-Palestinian side doesn't need to make bullshit claims that Hamas is firing "bottle rockets," the anti-Palestinian side doesn't need to pretend that Israel is a mewling, helpless kitten eternally on the verge of death. Neither are true, and both are insulting to the intelligence of pretty much everyone involved.
My take is that Bill Clinton was more interested in looking good on the news, than he was with actually working to broker a useful peace agreement. Bush, of course, is an apocalyptic christian - "Israel's gotta be there so Jesus can come back!" so you're right, that was eight years of the US being fucking useless in that department. And i'm a big fan of Obama, but I'm not sure he's hte guy to change the record.

34. Plus, during the extended attack, the attackers were close enough to see up to 3 US flags during
strafing attacks and torpedo runs.
As said by the survivors,
"After surveilling USS Liberty for more than nine hours with almost hourly aircraft overflights and radar tracking, the air and naval forces of Israel attacked our ship in international waters without warning. USS Liberty was identified as a US naval ship by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft nine hours before the attack and continuously tracked by Israeli radar and aircraft thereafter. Sailing in international waters at less than five knots, with no offensive armament, our ship was not a military threat to anyone.
"The Israeli forces attacked without warning and without attempting to contact us. Thirty four Americans were killed in the attack and another 174 were wounded."
The survivors are not anti-semitic, and no one can legitimately charge them with being anti-semitic. Also from the same web site:
"The USS Liberty Memorial web site abhors the racist and extreme positions taken by antiSemitic, Holocaust denial, conspiracy theorist and other such groups which often seek to identify with us and to usurp our story as their own. We have no connection with and do not support or encourage support from any of these groups including National Alliance, National Vanguard, The New Order, National Socialists, The French Connection, Liberty Lobby, American Free Press, Republic Broadcasting, USS Liberty Radio Hour, Storm Front or other such groups. We wish harm to no one and encourage social justice and equality for everyone; we seek only accountability for the criminal acts perpetrated against us and can do that without help from hate-mongers."
No Navy ship should ever be alone and relatively unarmed near Israeli waters during hostilities.

11. (1) You ask, "Why is that?" The answer is that the U.S. Navy should learn from its experience and
never again send a relatively unarmed intelligence ship without protection from additional U.S. ships to the Mediterranean during hostilities.
(2) You say, "A quick google search of USS Liberty brings up so many filthy antisemitic websites."
The first web site that can be found with Google, for the USS Liberty Memorial, seems to not be a "filthy antisemitic" website. As indicated on its first page:
"Anti-Semitism and the Anti-American Apologists"
"The USS Liberty Memorial web site abhors the racist and extreme positions taken by antiSemitic, Holocaust denial, conspiracy theorist and other such groups which often seek to identify with us and to usurp our story as their own. We have no connection with and do not support or encourage support from any of these groups including National Alliance, National Vanguard, The New Order, National Socialists, The French Connection, Liberty Lobby, American Free Press, Republic Broadcasting, USS Liberty Radio Hour, Storm Front or other such groups. We wish harm to no one and encourage social justice and equality for everyone; we seek only accountability for the criminal acts perpetrated against us and can do that without help from hate-mongers."
"On the Israeli side, the group of pro-Israel, anti-American critics of our story, while small, persists in launching loud, vicious ad hominem attacks on anyone who attempts to discuss the deliberateness of the attack. These anti-American apologists refuse to discuss the facts of the case. Instead, they rely on propaganda and charge anyone who questions the Israeli position with being antiSemitic."
"For detailed and authoritative accounts of the power and influence of the pro-Israel lobby, please see The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy by Mearsheimer and Walt and The Pro-Israel Lobby by Edward Herman."
If you can show me the error of my ways and how this web site is antisemitic, I would appreciate it.
Likewise, if you can show me how no lessons should be learned from the attack on the Liberty and how lightly armed intelligence ships should not be accompanied by one or more additional ships when in the Mediterranean near hostilities, it would also be appreciated.

Is that true? Do you call other posters anti-semitic? The USS Liberty was a relatively unarmed radar and radio-listening ship outside of Israeli waters at the time of the 6-day war when it and its crew were repeatedly attacked while flying three U.S. flags.

While their defensive capabilities are pretty good, the 3 ships mentioned have very limited offensive capabilities and don't carry enough troops (a Marine battalion) to have a significant impact on land operations. Depending on the aviation complement, the offensive power of the 3 ships would be limited to attack helicopters and possibly 4-6 Harrier jets, which are light attack aircraft with limited air to air capabilities.
It has long been US policy to send an amphibious task force to areas where US citizens might need to be evacuated

Job interview etiquette is a set of rules one should generally accept and remember during every single job interview. It is a must if you want to have a chance to get a job.
Job interview etiquette is simply something that is expected from every single job seeker, and once you break it, your chances of being chosen for the job fall beyond the see level. In this article, we will try to summarize these rules, so you know what to avoid doing in interview.
Three well known rules of job interview etiquette
Be always on time. If you have ever had an idea that coming late will make you look like an important and busy person in the eyes of recruiters, forget it now and for ever. Interviewers have a plan of the whole day, and once you come late you have broken their plans. Even if they like you, and if your excuse is satisfactory, still they may not be able to do all the screening procedure with you, simply because you are late. So really, come always on time for an interview.
Turn all your cell phones, pagers, etc. off. To answering the phone, or letting it on during any kind of business meeting just shows how little value it has for you. And also, the level of respect you have to the person you are meeting. So for sure, ensure that nothing will blink or beep during the job interview.
Listen to the interviewer. Despite it may sound so logical, many applicants think about something else while being interviewed, or speak about totally different things as they should. Well if you want to ruin your chances, then this is a way to go. But if you prefer to sign an employment contract at the end of the day, you should rather hold job interview etiquette and carefully listen to the interviewer.
Some not so known rules of job interview etiquette
No Yawning please. It doesn't matter if you spent all night in the club or working on your interview preparation. Yawning is in general considered as a sign of being bored, or showing little interest. If you feel like yawning, go and grab a coffee or energy drink before the interview, to start you up.
Do not be too personal. Well, if you are an expert in the area of interpersonal relations and have the feeling that the recruiter might like to speak about something personal, you can try it. But in general, in ninety of one hundred cases, interviewers do not like when a candidate is too personal, and it is simply a job interview etiquette to keep the meeting professional.
Shave and take a shower before your job interview. It is amazing for me to see how many applicants come to undertake an interview unshaven. Come on, it is not so tough. It's not only a job interview etiquette, but in USA and Europe a business etiquette in general. So, for sure shave before your job interview.
Let the employer to lead the interview. Job interview is a meeting with set roles. You are there to mostly listen and answer to questions. It is strongly unethical to give a huge number of questions to the interviewers and try to find out too much before they had a chance to ask you all the questions they wanted. Too interrupt a recruiter is also a big mistake. Of course, there will come a time for your questions. Just wait until it comes.
Job interview etiquette looks like a certainty for someone, but as you can see it is easy to forget on something. Please, keep these rules in mind. It is one of the cornerstones you can build your interview success on. Team from Interview Penguin wish you good luck!
