April fools, right?
I'm an Israeli officer, and I have fought in Gazza, and I can judge a lot better than you probably ever will. Every implication that you wrote about Israeli crimes is a lie.
And yes, the Israeli Army evacuates buildings before it bombs them (depending on the mission, obviously) and as I've heard directly from an F-15 navigator who's a relative of mine, will go for another round before dropping a bomb if it sees any trace of human beings.
I agree, with you. It is so absurd that it's hard to believe. I've had friends wounded because of precautions we've taken to prevent harm to innocents, or rather "uninvolved" as they're described.
You're not seeking the truth though.
The article actually says the opposite of what you claim.
If Israel wanted to create maximum mayhem on the other side it can easily do it using its current armament. In fact Israel NEVER used ground launched rocket fire in any conflict involving populated areas because of there relatively low accuracy (MLRS was never used in urban setting warfare and is reserved for classic war scenarios facing regular army formations).
Instead Israel used air teams to deliver accurate rocket fire, risking the lives of air force pilots involved. The whole point of the article is to explain that Israel has finally developed a rocket accurate enough to be fired from a distance of 40 KM with a precision of 10 M. technologically that is a very impressive feat. it means that in future urban setting conflicts (such as hizballah in Lebanon or hamas) israel would have at its disposal an effective accurate ground launched weapon with no risk to air teams. It also indicates that Israel assumes that in future conflicts terrorist organization will have AA missiles
"In fact Israel NEVER used ground launched rocket fire in any conflict involving populated areas because of there relatively low accuracy…"
From Haaretz, 12/09/06: ""What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs," the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war…." (link to tinyurl.com)
In fact, there's abundant evidence of Israeli use of MLRS cluster munitions in town and village areas across South Lebanon during the 2006 war.
"Instead Israel used air teams to deliver accurate rocket fire, risking the lives of air force pilots involved"
The Guardian made a documentary which demonstrated the use of drones to attack residential areas in Gaza:
They also used white phosphorous missiles:
It looks as if the Javelin missile system will result in similarly high loss of life.
Drones are indeed an option but they have other limitations. Getting a drone into place takes a lot of time. Drones are also limited in their carrying capacity and tine they can spend in the air.
As for phosphors – contrary to other armies (the USA army, for instance) the IDF does not use phosphor as an offensive weapon only as a means for cloaking army movements. Phosphors are not fired on enemy combatants only on open areas to produce a smoke screen. This is a perfectly legal use of phosphor.
You're digging a pretty deep hole here bran…
Don't you read your own sources? Israel "admits" using phosphor "based on INTERNATIONAL NORMS". That's what I said.
If you think using phosphor is a terrible thing Why don't you attack you own government that dose the same?
Very brave of Israel to 'risk air force pilots lives' when attacking Lebanon and Gaza. Crazy considering the high-tech air defense systems both those territories own and operate……..
Do you really think that hamas/hizballah wouldn't use AA missiles if they had them? And do you really think that they are making every effort to get them?
Developing the javelin system is a profoundly MORAL act. It saves the life of both Israeli soldiers and enemy non-combatants.
Because they're going to handout pamphlets before they shell a target, right?
By limiting peripheral damage to innocent.
And yes. As a rule the IDF does warn inhabitants around buildings it is about to bomb not only by dropping lephlets but by actually calling the telephone numbers of the neighbors. That was routinely done during cast lead. I know it sounds a bit strange but that's actually how it was done.
What Silverstein failed to mention is that Truthout, a bunch of Jew-hating SOBS, merely reprinted Silverstein's own lies.
"…..risking the lives of air force pilots involved."
Are you actually trying to generate sympathy for people who fire deliberately into areas where there are known to be innocent women and children, with clear expectation there will be civilian deaths?
I'm not trying to get any sympathy from you. You are a Palestinian patriot and you naturally support your side.
What I am trying to do is to explain the rational for Israel developing this weapon from an Israeli POV. I im an Israeli and the life of our pilots is precious for me. I hate the idea they they are risking ther life daily and am happy to find a way to limit the risk without further endangering enemy non combatants.
When did one of your precious pilots ever lose his life while blasting Palestinian babies with white phosphorous or half-ton bombs? The best way for your precious pilots to limit their risk would be for them to just stay home and stop taking Palestinian lives.
of course I would prefer the pilots to stay home. As they say in Hebrew – halevay!
Trouble is I don't see how a responsible government can can keep the pilots home while half the country (including me BTW) are being peppered with rocket fire.
I consider myself a liberal Israeli. During the 90's I voted labor and was a staunch supporter of the oslo process. I have absolutely no problem with territorial compromise. The green line is not sacroscent in my eyes. Yet nothing that I see from the direction of gaza gives me reassurance that a Palestinian state will sooner or later not become a launching point for attacking Israel. It is this perception that is the single most powerful show stopper for the peace process.
Unfortunetly I don't think you even realize the problem. But then again you are an armchair Palestinian. You can afford giving the Palestinians foolish advice and egging them on to a never ending struggle since non of this realy effects you personally. When you get bored with the computer there are always shopping in London. It is us and the Palestinians that have to find a way out of this mess/
Bran, allow me to step in here. Mary Hughes Thompson is one of the founders of Free Gaza and has spent an extensive amount of time both in Gaza and in the West Bank. She is hardly what you call an "armchair Palestinian." Her questions are to the point, and instead of the ad hominems, how about answering her questions?
Bran either doesn't understand or is hiding true Israeli policy. Israel has not really wanted or sought a "partner" for peace at all. (Rabin may have been the only one to take Oslo seriously enough to talk more, however unsavory he found the contact! But he faced the headwinds of growing Israeli military arrogance!) Given such a partner, such as the PLO, which kept from border attacks for a year or more, Israel faced a "crisis" said Ehud Barack: It looked like Israel would have to recognize a partner and negotiate, for once, in good faith! The crisis was resolved by invading Lebanon and making war anew on the PLO. Now Bran either understands the Israeli lies about peace all along and is just repeating the crap he is told or this is a fresh insight for him. Israel, alas, cannot find a good neighbor so it will just takeover the whole neighborhood and decide who has rights and who doesn't, who can stay and who must go.
Richard, mary –
Why do you regard Palestinian hasbara to be inherently better then Israeli hasbara?
As I pointed out their are 2 sides to the WP debate. Just because you elect to support one side doesn't turn the other side into liars etc. I see no convincing reason to regard the Palestinian version as better then the explanation provided by the IDF.
Of course you don't have to convince me. I'm a nobody. But nobody's like me constute the majority of Israelis. And if your arguments don't carry traction among people like me you won't be making any progress in foreseeable future.
Of course you can tell me "f*** off! We don't need to convince you of anything. Will force you to comply to our demands thru BDS".
However I don't see that method being terribly effective.
Bran, the "difference" is that many of us are intimately acquainted with the occupation in all its respects, by virtue of having been to the OPT and learning the history, international laws, and personally knowing many Palestinians and their families. We bear witness to what this belligerent and unlawful occupation is doing to an occupied people.
You, on the other hand, have never spent any time learning what you call "the other side." How many Palestinians do you know and talk to daily? I've talked to "both sides," including once enjoying friendships with a few officers in the IOF. I came to my conclusions over time, and as the result of my own observations and analyses.
You cannot negate what is truth by closing your ears or your mind, Bran.
One of the things that keep on amazing me with "progressives" like you is the absolute certainty in which you state things you have no way of knowing. We have never met yet you somehow know "that I never learned the other side". I must compliment you on your amazing power of clairvoyance.
I lived in Israel all my life. I am an intelligent and educated person. I love the land of Israel and am fascinated by its complex history. I have studied arab culture and religion together with some of the finest orientlists my country produced. I speak and read Arabic reasonably well. I am an avid fan of studies of Israel including archeology, geography, history. I have several Arab acquaintances (no, I don't speak with them "every day". I assume that neither do you speak with your IDF acquaintances "every day". And BTW, mary, how good IS your Arabic?). I can modestly say that I read at least a couple of hundred books on these topics.
I don't know what your qualifications are, mary. Yet I doubt they are much greater than mine. Accusing me of closing my eyes is slightly ridiculous.
Why is it so difficult for you to accept that reasonable, intelligent and moral people can reach conclusions that differ from you own?
So you believe in the power inexorable forces of history? I know very little about inexorable forces of any count. Let me just point out that during the last century the inexorable forces of history did very little to help the Palestinian cause.
Bran can explain all he likes about the new weapon from an Israeli point of view. It will get the job done in a less costly way w/ respect to Israeli lives. However, "getting the job done" is the assault on civilians by a modern army equipped to the gills by the US to slaughter these civilians. This "job" is repellant to civilized people (and many Israelis, as I understand).
Frankly — Israelis do not pay up enough for the terror they foster. If they did, more of them might wish to get off other people's land altogether. This might be a point for US policymakers to consider: Arming Israel just encourages more military adventures (like Iran). Unarm Israel (relative to now) and watch how fast Israel reaches accord with Palestinians.
Bran can disagree but the fact is that Israel has all but destroyed the Palestinians at this point and that is, and has always been, unnecessary for the mere existence of a Jewish state on part of mandate Palestine. But that wasn't enough for the Israelis and now they have continued expansion at the cost of the Palestinians and earned the rancor of civilized people everywhere. Israel will never feel safe until it has destroyed the entire ME of its Arab culture and owns everything. Israel is a intelligent beast that cannot dare look at itself in a mirror. That's where progressives come in — to hold up the mirror and force the beast to open its eyes.
Thank you for your response. You are a thoughtful person and deserve a serious response.
You believe in a democratic, secular state with equality and justice to all. That is a very noble goal. Yet as a potential citizen in your putative state I cannot avoid asking myself some troubling questions. For instance, how democratic, secular, tolerant, and liberal is the current Palestinian state in Gaza? In fact, how secular, democratic and liberal are any of the arab countries in the area – Egypt, Libya. Lebanon, Syria?
In my modest assessment – not very much.
So what reason do I have to assume that your putative "free palastine" will be better then the current " little Palestine" or other Arab countries? I am currently a fairly well to do Israeli living in a prosperous and liberal (albeit not perfect) society. Why should I risk my future and my children's future to live under a hamas-like regime just to satisfy your amorphous notions of justice?
Instead of attacking Israel, focus your creative energy in turning gaza into a model of progressive democratic values and economic success. I am convinced that once you succeed, Israeli such as me will gladly join such an enlightened state.
Thank you for holding up the mirror to me. I do it every morning and am very impressed by how charming and good looking I am (my wife's words, not mine).
If the purpose of Israel is to take over the ME and destroy arab culture then it has a very strange way of doing it. Israeli governments had repeatedly given up territory for the sake of peace and security. Israel withdraw from the entire Sinai peninsula in 1982, from large parts of the west bank in 1993-1995, from s. Lebanon in 2000, from all of gaza strip in 2004.
The worrying thing for reasonable people like me is that in almost all these cases the withdrawn territory turned in to a launching point for anti Israel attacks. S. Lebanon was taken over by hizballah, gaza by hamas, and Sinai become during the last couple years a lawless wild area. This fact, more then any other, weakened the position of territorial concession advocates such as me.
Palestinians today (both in Israel and the WB) enjoy a higher standard of living then in most arab countries. Most of them have complete political freedom (gaza) or a very high level of autonomy (WB). It is far from perfect but much better then the situation 30-40 years ago.
The only solution I see is to return to negotiate and reach a pragmatic deal.
I think your focusing on trifles. The scholars I studied from are imanuel sivan. Yitzchak reiter and eli avider (among others). In Hebrew they are known as mizrachanim. The most reasonable translation is orientalists.
It seems that the only people you consider reasonable are those who agree with your political opinions. That is not very conductive for dialog. However it seems you are not interested in dialogue since you prefer instead to rely on inexorable historical forces (or brute force).
You didn't answer the question posed by Mary.
It's all about the cost, Richard. The tactics and mode of operation have not changed one iota. They just decided that the life of a Palestinian is not worth the jet fuel and an expensive smart bomb so now they have a cheaper alternative.
It would also be interesting if Hamas and Islamic Jihad adopt the same tactics to whitewash their crimes and "warn" Israeli citizens to leave their houses before barraging them with rockets. But of course, they do not have anywhere near the same firepower as they still live in a closed concentration camp.
"Since they are striking terror into the hearts of Israeli civilians, the IDF intends to return the favor at the earliest opportunity."
Haha, you've got to admire the audacity of such a statement.
It's almost as if a certain Middle East military didn't already do this to civilian areas in 2006 with cluster bombs, white phosphorus, Hellfire or Harpoon missiles.
Oh, how I love revisionist history.
Harpoon? really, when?
This is a long-range anti-ship missile, which seeks its own targets within a pre-defined area.
Are you sure you don't mean something else, such as Maverick?
There's a land-attack missile, based on the Harpoon airframe, but with man-in-the-loop guidance, but I'm not sure if Harpoons as such have ever been used in anger.
What of the dubiousness of firing rockets from civilian areas?
I am wondering why the English Version and the Hebrew Version are so different.
For example the hebrew version states in the headline that it is a very accurate weapon – הרקטה החדשה, שהשיגה בניסויים רמת דיוק של עד עשרה מטרים מהמטרה, תשמש בעיקר לתקיפת מפקדות טרור בשטח בנוי ברצועת עזה.
The IDF warns these who reside around the targets by calling them and asking them to leave the area prior to the attack (leaflets are being distributed as well) the Hebrew version mentions it "כדי למנוע פגיעה בחפים מפשע, בצבא מתכוונים לפעול באופן דומה לדרך שבה מתבצעות כיום מרבית תקיפות חיל האוויר: תחילה יקבלו האזרחים שגרים סמוך ליעד התקיפה הודעה טלפונית שעליהם להתפנות מהשטח, ולאחר מכן תזוהה מחדש המטרה"
The English version doesn't.
I wounder why the English papers bring it's readers only half the story
hardly any of AIPAC's constituents can read Hebrew beyond the verses they neglected during their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Other writing is for Christian Zionist consumption. It is a miracle they can even read.
I don't know how the original Hebrew phrased this
Sums up your work quite nicely. Maybe make it the blog's tagline…
Would it not be easier and more effective to negotiate a lasting ceasefire; and withdraw the blockade/occupation? Surely that would be the best way to end violence from Hamas, instead of continually encouraging these cycles of violence.
Are you serious? Can you show me anyone in history doing so voluntarily? (seriously, I'm curious, no teasing).
Been there, done that. In response thousands of rockets and mortars have been launched and fired, making more than a million Israelis under constant life threat. How would you react?
Being naive generally means not to think enough. Naive persons often show a certain ignorance or simplicity when thinking about a problem. This could be due to lack of experience, information or ability to make judgments.
it finally and conclusively proved Richard will do everything possible to discredit Israel, no matter what the truth is.
according to Richard, there are two options: 1. " the IDF truly is the most moral army…". 2. The purpose of this new unit is to attack civilians for the sake of it, AKA brutal terrorism. this is Richard's thesis.
but let's think for a minute if option 2 makes sense: every one of these new very light rockets costs a fortune, while the IDF has today several battalions of M-109 self propelled gun, which shoots much deadlier rounds than these extra light 30-40 kg missiles, at an extremely cheap price.
link to en.wikipedia.org
So if the purpose is to shoot civilians at random, why not use the old and cheap howitzer?
Or… the IDF really wants to accurately attack terrorist targets! but Richard won't think of this simple possibility, that the duck is actually a duck.
Regarding semantics: "with the exception " refers to "The IDF has refrained…" and not to "imprecision". That means the IDF used MLRS despite the fact that it's inaccurate, as also written in Hebrew. But it's so natural for Richard to misunderstand this simple grammar and portray the IDF as liars and fools.
.The new weapon makes war more efficient for Israel. Anyone expecting Hamas and others to rejoice at this new discriminating weapon are fools. Israel fields F-16's, tanks and advanced munitions (most courtesy of the US) against civilian street fighters all the time. This sort of modus operandus is hardly "moral" or protective of innocents. It is just big time Terror with a capital T.
As for discrediting Israel, let's not overlook the important role that Facts play in this process: Israel discredits itself before the whole world again and again by its policies and practices and its obvious plan to steal even more land from indigenous people, old school imperialism. Again and again. Richard hardly has to do anything at all. l
Richard – You wrote "I'd sit down at a negotiating table, give back the Territories , share Jerusalem, recognize a Palestinian state & demand the Arab states recognize Israel, cease violent resistance, and normalize relations."
Well, from Rabin through Olmert Israel did negotiate, did return territories to the PA including all of Gaza, and announced that it supports a 2 state solution. Israel is waiting for more Arab states to recognize it, cease violence and normalize relations.
Barak offered a large percentage (92 – 97%) of the territories. What was the answer?
BTW, you called 2 people "morons". It doesn't help your arguments.
It is Israeli policy to either not negotiate or to do so in bad faith. It's that simple. The very act of negotiating (the "peace process") has been transformed, in fact, into a slick form of not-negotiating! And offers themselves are always designed to appear generous but be unacceptable. Israel has tried negotiation and offers of peace, not.
It is just the usual deceitful practices of a state built by gangsters, hypocrites and latter day imperialists for themselves. I wouldn't live in Israel, be a physical part of the obscenity, the orgy, of its national life on the wreckage of another people..not for nothing. This state have proven repeatedly that it has no rights, no legitimacy, and no decency by its racism and by its incredible violence toward a disarmed and nearly destroyed people. It is beyond comprehension how some Israelis could actually believe that its state has behaved decently and honorably toward the people it has reduced and displaced. How could anyone familiar with history believe such a sham?

And the above by David is not off topic? Not slanted?
Worse, it's just a collection of superficial sound-bites and slogans: "gangsters", "orgy", etc.
What you really appear to be saying is that anything anti-Israel goes, but that you'll censor counter-arguments.
And so I understand that you share the view that all the Jews that built the State of Israel, from Gordon to Borochov to Ben-Gurion are described by "a state built by gangsters, hypocrites and latter day imperialists", and that that statement was germain to the topic of discussion, the new, more precise artillery of the IDF.
It was an answer to an issue raised by another discussant. But, yes, it is "off topic" but only in an effort to respond to another "off-topic" comment.
(I don't expect Richard to share my views in detail. But we do agree, I think, that the present form of Zionism "on the ground" is unacceptable and that much of the history of Israel has been cloaked in mythology and distortions, particularly the history involving the indigenous Palestinians from the very earliest points in time to the present. I think Richard would accept this.)
Is that back-pedalling from your "off topic" sweeping demonization of all those who built the state of Israel?
And is it "of topic" in reply to mention the real history of the first leader of Palestinian nationalism, Al-Husseini, from 1929 to 1945? No "hasbara" is needed, just go to Encyclopedia Brittanica or any other trustworthy source.
Oooh, it's time to dust off Husseini! I've been waiting for this one!
And it is time to dust off the anti-hasbara comments. But no need to wait long for that
@ Ron
You know s*** about Palestinian nationalism ! And know what ? Palestinian nationalism started prior to Zionism, in fact already in the 1830's against the Ottoman circonscription.
We know that al-Husseini and his role has been exagerated by the hasbara in order to paint him as a major figure in Palestinian nationalism. It's not the case.
It's just like Frence right-wingers who describe the Battle of Poitiers against the Muslims as a huge victory saving Europe from the Islamic hordes, whereas Muslim sources hardly mention the battle, totally insignificant from their point of view.
Read al-Kayyali and come back.
[comment deleted. I've already pointed out that this is off topic. If you don't follow the comment rules you will be moderated]
How come you just can't stop making useless points?
DY said: "al-Husseini and his role has been exagerated"
The fact of the matter is that Husseini was one of if not the major figure of Palestinian nationalism from the 1920s to the 1940s. If you disagree, explain who was more important.
Even into the 1960s, Yasser Arafat – to overcome his Egyptian accent – claimed to be related to the Husseini family to gain credibility (he was not).
Perhaps in a few more years the Arab "hasbarists" will tell us that Arafat's role was likewise exaggerated.
Maybe — I am certainly one disenchanted guy. I think it is fair game however to point out that Israel has been built on the wreckage of another people and that national life there is, for me, an "orgy" of domineering.
It's a shame there is so much nastiness, name-calling, and poor deportment across the various responses and counter-responses on this thread. How can there be a productive dialogue under such circumstances?
Productive dialogue needs to be free of hasbara first.
@ Bran (sorry, no reply option)
"Let me just point out that during the last century the inexorable forces of history did very little to help the Palestinian cause."
During the last century the inexorable forces history did very little to help the cause of Jews and many others. That doesn't mean their causes were not just. Or that the cause of the Palestinian people isn't just.
In the case of the Palestinians, there have long been dark forces at work to prevent them from obtaining justice, aided and enabled by the U.S. with its biased support and billions of dollars.
I believe the tide has begun to turn. Few American Jews are interested in what happens in Israel; fewer Jews are moving to Israel, and more Jews are moving out, to Germany and other countries. And the world increasingly sees just who is the victim in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Hasbara is costing more and becoming less effective. BDS has been embraced worldwide as millions compare apartheid in Israel to apartheid as it existed in South Africa.
Empires never last. Americans are already growing tired of being Israel's cash cow and of sending their young people to fight wars for Israel. Once our leaders grow some cajones and learn to stand up to AIPAC it's just a matter of time before Israel will stand alone. I hope Israel survives, though never as a Jewish state. I would prefer it be a democracy, and eventually I believe it will, as the bi-national secular state it promises to be, with equality and justice for all its citizens, Muslims, Jews, Christians and others. Palestine will be free.
Thank you for your response. You are a thoughtful person and deserve a serious response.
You believe in a democratic, secular state with equality and justice to all. That is a very noble goal.

Instead "of turning Gaza into a model of progressive democratic values" (read: colonialism) how about letting the Palestinian people determine their own future? Who are you or anyone else to decide what kind of society they should be, you incredibly smug, zionist supremacist?
I honestly don't understand your position.
At the one hand you're advocating turning Palestine/Israel into a 'bi-national, secular, democratic country'. Then, when I point out that the current 'small' Palestine is not a 'bi-national, secular, democratic' and that based on the track record of Arab countries in general there seems to be slim prospects that it will become one in the future, you call me a 'incredibly smug, zionist supremacist'.
If you aren't able to respond coherently to my simple question how do you expect to convince most Israelis that your idea is feasible?
@ Bran
Mary Hughes Thompson and Mary are NOT the same person ! Are you that blinded ? You don't see two different names and two different symbols next to their names ?
Your reply to Mary Hughes Thompson is plain hasbara, by the way. Of course you would never join a state with the Palestinians, you're living on their land !
And when you go on trips "with the kid" to Masada and elsewhere: do you tell him about the more than 400 destroyed Palestinian villages, and the ethnic cleansing in order for you to live on your "ancestral land" ???
PS. By the way I have the impression that there are two "David" with nearly the same symbol/color but diametrically opposed views on the conflict.
[comment deleted–this is pure hasbara and totally off-topic]
For Bran:
The success of Israel commercially has been made possible by American money and Jewish support worldwide. America has been, and continues to be, a treasure chest for Israelis, virtually thousands of dollars for every Israeli citizen. Palestinians haven't had this support. Instead, they have been bombed and butchered by Israel. So, before you get too smug about Israel, bear in mind that none of it could have happened in the absence of American Jews and American taxpayers.
The rotten part is that, after shelling out all this geld, Israel has turned steadily into a mean little ethnic country that makes war on its neighbors forever just to feel "safe", a very subjective state. Israel alone has an unexamined, uninspected nuclear arsenal in the ME and it alone is the most dangerous state by far, dangerous to peace, dangerous to any identity that is not Jewish. I don't think the Mullahs are anywhere as crazy as the Israelis who have such a hard time joining the civilized family of nations.
As for territory: Unilateral abandonment of occupied lands is not negotiation. Israel has not, will not, negotiate in good faith. As for the future of Israel that you think you are protecting, I assure you that you are doing the opposite. The more accomodation refused by Israel, the more likely that it will ultimately be forced into more strigent accomodations. I want Israel to survive, but not Greater Israel, the great thief, but a small Israel with a modest Jewish population among other identities as well. Virtually no civilized state thinks in terms of "blood" any longer — it is so beyond the pale! Yet, Israel stills wants to be a walled off ghetto and so it builds a wall. A narrow ghetto, hostile to outsiders, to others, regardless what they say they are. Sure, you enjoy your life in your ghetto, but only at the cost of some many others being humiliated and stepped on day after day. Hell, American Southern Plantation whites enjoyed their lives immensely, as well, before the Civil War and did not want change. They did not enjoy it so much after that war. Israel is a ghetto rebuilt by Jews who would have otherwise assimilated and found new ways of staying Jewish.
Hey David – oops you made a mistake by not checking facts. You wrote:
"America has been, and continues to be, a treasure chest for Israelis, virtually thousands of dollars for every Israeli citizen. Palestinians haven't had this support."
Well, according to "The Economist" magazines book "Pocket World in Figures", the largest recipient of bilateral and multi-lateral aid is the West Bank and Gaza. In 2009 they received $749 per head. Oops. It is followed by Kosovo with $35 per head. See page 44 of the book.
That's nonsense. You know very well that israel was historically funded by world Jews and American Jews in particular and, since Johnson at least, by the US. This historical funding helped very much create the modern Israel that a handful of Israelis take credit for. Histoircally, this kind of continuing support for purposes of building, not just surviving, has not been provided to dispossessed Palestinians. I figure the economist was not focused on military aid perhaps. I don't know. It is common knowledge that Israel is the largest recepient of US foreign aid, year after year. This largesse is so well documented that I don't have to truck out anything in "evidence."
You should also know that most of that money ends up back in Israeli coffers because most of the West Bank's businesses are Israeli-owned.
You write "Unilateral abandonment of occupied lands is not negotiation". However, two of the Israeli territorial withdrawals I pointed out to you WHERE in fact based on negotiation. The Israeli withdrawal from Sinai in 1982 followed extensive negotiations with Egypt. the Israeli withdrawal from most of the WB in 1992-1995 followed negotiations with the Palestinians. Obviously there is much about the history of the region that you have yet to learn.
It is true that America is generous to Israel, however I would think twice before asserting that American support is the main reason for Israel's prosperity. After all even a cursory glance will show that Egypt is a recipient of very generous American support as is Jordan and even the PA. in fact the PA is beneficiary to tremendous amounts of aid donated by the EC, the world bank, and arab country's. The fact that all these countries remain financly backward despite generous foreign assistance indicates that obviously Israel has something more than mere American support. In fact Israel lacks the natural wealth enjoyed by many arab countries yet developed a first class economy. Obviously something is very wrong in the economic policy of arab countries.
Your description of Israel "constantly" at war with its neighbors is plain wrong. Israel had no war with Syria, Jordan, Egypt or Lebanon in the last 30-40 years. As I said there is much you need to learn about the region.
There is much that is impressive about Israel but one should not lose sight of the impressive funding these 5.8 million receive from the world, mostly America. Israel is losing many professionals, I think, because it cannot provide opportunity. That's not a great economic plan either. I know this is so because many of these families attended the Jewish school from which my son graduated and live in the neighborhood.
As for war — you know you are being slippery. Low-intensity conflict has been constant — more or less — for decades. Lebanon was in fact assaulted twice over, Beruit bombed into wreckage. I count the Iraqi war as an Israeli proxy war, etc. etc.
Hundreds of millions of people live in Egypt compared to the handful in Israel and yet Israel receives more aid than Egypt (which is second best, I know). I see a multiplier here that impacts you, your expenses and your life style, so don't tell me about all the money going elsewhere. On a per capita basis, Israel is incredibly supported by Jews worldwide and American military aid. It is a charity from the American Jewish point of view, no matter how successful in the field, commerce or the arts. It remains a charitable organization.
Israel has made meaningful negotiations impossible, never offering anything that really matters to Palestinians. Now they are posed to offer a bantustan sort of country, a "cantonized" slice of the WB. Shame. Shame.
As for bad economics in Arab states, no question about the disaster that imperialism left behind in these areas. I don't think they are doing things right either, but I do understand that development takes capital and that has not been forthcoming, just as it was restricted to Israel for a long time, and still is, to some extent.
Frankly, I don't think the 5.8 million have a future in a Jewish state OF THE KIND now in play. This aggressive state is increasingly unwilling to risk Israeli lives further in wars and so seeks to automat the process. Ultimately, this will fail and the people willing to risk their lives will succeed to some extent in restoring their hegemony in their own land. Israelis will leave rather risk their lives in conflict. I don't recognize any legitimate Jewish claim to the bare land they left abandoned for thousands of years. I think that is hogwash, I think that many Zionists know it is hogwash.
I tried learning the history from certain popular books (like the one by Michael Oren on the Six Day War) but they left so many questions unanswered or badly answered that I had to find other writers, and this turned out to be the revisionists in Israel and, of course, Chomsky and Finkelstein. The Oren book is pure hasbara, unacceptable as a work of historical writing. It's shortfalls actually steered me into anti-Zionism. But that's another story.
Question: since your knowledge about the ME is admittedly limited how can you tell that Chomsky is more reliable then oren? How do you know that finkelstein isn't feeding you "pure Palestinian hasbara"? what tools do you have to discern between the arguments of pape and those of karsh?
You repeatedly make claims that have no factual basis. You accuse me of being 'slippery' and claim that 'low intensity warfare' is going on constantly. Yet that is not true. I know of no low intensity warfare with Jordan, Egypt, Syria or Lebanon. Yes, even Lebanon. The 2006 war was aimed against hizballah and effected only those limited areas (some towns in s. Lebanon and the dahya quarter in Beirut) controlled by hizballah. Beirut was not 'destroyed' since it was not attacked. Take it or leave it – those are the facts.
Jewish connection to Israel is not hogwash. The other day I took the kid for a trip to the beautiful desert oasis of ein gedi. Along the way we visited the ancient Jewish synagogue of ein gedi, the famous caves of Qumran and Masada .are you seriously claiming that all this is 'pure hogwash'?
Most Jewish Israelis where born in israel. They have no reason and no intention of 'leaving' Israel any more then Italians have intention of leaving Italy or Jordanians of leaving Jordan.
Oh, I think you get the point. My "bias" isn't offset by hair splitting about the record: However you look at it, Israel's record is dismal and the vanity of Israelis about the state does tend to forget the role played by others in making this little state mighty both commercially and militarily as well as its intellectual resources. The record of human rights abuses, non-cooperation with world-endorsed sanctions and resolutions, military adventures, deceptions and outright lies is dismal and correcting my gaffs in history does not clear that record and is not persuasive.
Real things, real ideas are not symmetrical. You cannot simply say to someone who says "This is a tree", "How do you know it isn't a rock?" The reason Oren fails to make the grade is that his rendition doesn't make sense, it leaves unexplained certain matters that are better and more simply explained by an alternative view. There are ways of knowing, it is not that everyone (including you?) are the victims of propaganda. Our impressions may be formed by such writing, but our sense of things, the rectitude of the point of view, is not dependent on another's writing unless it rings true and explains events.
Lebanon was war, no matter what you say. Beirut was attacked, mainstream reporters reported it. It was attacked and IDF laid siege for a long time. And I said that the Jewish "claim" to Israel was hogwash, not the Jewish connection. I grew up with Masada and Kochba and the others. While the actual history is suspect, the connection is not. The connection does not, did not, strip Palestinians of their rights and justify their continued dispossession or the expansion into the WB. Does not. And that is great matter that should be settled with justice or low intensity conflict will continue for Israel forever, as long as Palestinians survive.
Who are the five ex-patriate Israeli families living in my neighborhood? What are they doing here, settling down, buying houses?
I was talking about the SECOND Lebanon war of 2006. You are talking about the FIRST Lebanon war when Israel indeed occupied large areas of Lebanon. That was way back in 1982. As I wrote previously Israel was not involved in any 'low intensity warfare' with its neighbors since the mid-seventies (or in the case of Lebanon since the early eighties).
The matter of American aid to Israel should be taken in proportion. The annual budget of Israeli government is something like 80 BILLION dollars. So 3 billion dollars, while not being insignificant, cannot be the sole explanation for Israelis relative economic prosperity. American aid is reciprocal. Israel gains from it but so does America.
Opinions should be based on fact and context. Basing your position on 'feeling' and 'sense of justice' doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't do it in financial or medical matters. No reason to do it when dealing with a complex region off which you know little.
The Jewish people have a claim to the land of Israel based on continuous national CONNECTION going back millennia. Of course that is no reason to harm the Palestinian population. That's why both sides have to negotiate and reach a pragmatic sensible solution. In my opinion that will involve complex territorial exchange including Israel, Palestine AND Jordan. The Palestinian state while be demilitarized with its nominal capital in e. jlm. Temple mount will be under joint control with equal rights to Jews and Muslims.
Israeli society is not perfect but neither is it bad as some Israel bashers want to make seem. It is vibrant, young, and lively. As for the 5 Israeli expatriate families you know, well I know some 50 American expatriate families living in Israel. What does THAT mean?
@Bran "The Jewish people have a claim to the land of Israel based on continuous national CONNECTION going back millennia…" While you might have a CONNECTION to Israel, that doesn't give you a right to go back after those millennia and claim it as yours. I too have continuous national CONNECTION going back millennia. As a Christian my savior was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth and died in Jerusalem. I learned in Catholic school that Jerusalem was the holiest place on earth for Christians. So why do you get to decide that it belongs to you and not to me? Rather than showing gratitude for being allowed to share the land of Palestine with those people who had lived there for millennia and still lived there, zionists immediately waged a campaign to rid the land of its indigenous population, you now demand that you are the supreme owners of the land. Talk about chutzpah!
We can start a historical/religious/cultural slugfest that might be quit interesting.
However I would much appreciate if you can address a serious question that rises in the mind of many Israelis hearing about your position. I am reposting the question here:
o You believe in a democratic, secular state with equality and justice to all. That is a very noble goal. Yet as a potential citizen in your putative state I cannot avoid asking myself some troubling questions. For instance, how democratic, secular, tolerant, and liberal is the current Palestinian state in Gaza? In fact, how secular, democratic and liberal are any of the Arab countries in the area – Egypt, Libya. Lebanon, Syria?
In my modest assessment – not very much.
So what reason do I have to assume that you're putative "free Palestine" will be better than the current" little Palestine" or other Arab countries? I am currently a fairly well to do Israeli living in a prosperous and liberal (albeit not perfect) society. Why should I risk my future and my children's future to live under a hamas-like regime just to satisfy your amorphous notions of justice?
Instead of attacking Israel, focus your creative energy in turning Gaza into a model of progressive democratic values and economic success. I am convinced that once you succeed, Israeli such as me will gladly join such an enlightened state.
Bran — and why should Palestinians trust that Israel will cooperate with this democratic Arab state? And, if they should trust that, then Israel should trust Arab states as well, regardless of whether they meet Israeli "standards". The quote on "standards" shuld be self-explanatory. There are things to like about Israel but the ethnocratic, fear-mongering democracy part is not one of them. Israeli "standards" are not so high after all.
Hey David —
You are so consistently wrong with the facts it is shocking. I guess not though as your excessive bias prevents you from accepting basic facts.
You wrote:
"So, before you get too smug about Israel, bear in mind that none of it could have happened in the absence of American Jews and American taxpayers."
"None of it could have done" – wow that is ridiculous and self-serving for smug, condescending types.
Who else would have given Israel $3 billion a year and blocked all attempts to enforce UN sanctions against Israel? Explain how David's statement is "ridiculous."
I don't care what war you were talking about: Israel makes war on civilians left and right. As for "feelings," ultimately positions and activism are based on feelings.
Let's try some different facts. There is no question that Palestinians have been treated unjustly, that no reparations have ever been forthcoming from the Zionist invaders. There is no question that Israel is probably the leading homocidal state on the planet on a per capita basis. There is no question that Israel receives more US foreign aid on a per capital basis than any other state by a very large margin not to mention the deep pockets of American Jews. There is no question that the $3 billion is sizable even in an $80 billion economy. These statements are factual. There are all sorts of organizations testifying to criminality of Israel aggression, the injustice still being meted out to Palestinians in their own country, a region that is categorically not "disputed." etc. etc. So, my "feelings" are based on these facts, after all. What a surprise.
Land for peace worked with Egypt, why not the West Bank? You and I both know that this did not and will not happen with Israel's cooperation because, like you, Israel will hairsplit the fine points in order to conceal or distract from the big point, namely that settlements will not move and Israeli control will never go away.
Israel has this security disease such that, whenever it FEELS insecure, many people have to die and more homes have to be demolished (1.2 million bomblets on Lebanon!) This, like the little bit of blowback against Israel, will never go away, even with Iraq declawed and Iran next on the Israel/AIPAC agenda. People have to die because Israelis FEEL unsafe. Nothing else really explains the size and extent of Cast Lead. That's pretty much it.
You have a right to be proud of your state and its accomplishments but justice and peace and integrity are simply not among these and you can't take credit for these noble achievements. It is not an accident that Israel is shunned the world over: This is not a result of Palestinian "hasbara". People know right from wrong.
The statements I provide above are factual. My "feelings" are based on these facts. Bran and Charlie can chew on this for awhile.
I realy don't get your approach to facts. You claimed that Israel is a country that 'makes war on its neighbors forever' (your words). Then, when I show you that Israel made no war against any neighboring country in the last 30 years, you simply shift the goalpost.
Then you go ahead and keep on spreading baseless assertions. For instance you make the incredible claim that that 'Israel is probably the leading homicidal state on the planet on a per capita basis'. What a load of hogwash. In terms of causalities the isreal-palestine conflict is actually quit modest. Total number of casualties from both sides probably doesn't exceed 15,000-20,000 people during the last 60 years. In terms of regional conflicts that's quite low. For an example of truly bloody mindness check up what the Syrian regime is doing the last couple of months. Or the Turkish-Kurdish relationship.
Similarly you falsely claim that the Palestinians have been treated unjustly by Israel. A combination of lack of democracy, political extremism and myopic statesmanship caused the Palestinian leadership to commit almost every possible mistake leading to their current predicament.
You further claim that land for peace can't work in WB because of settlements. Yet you ignore the fact that Israel destroyed settlements. Not once but Thrice. In Sinai in Gaza AND in north Samaria.
Never has anybody died because Israel 'felt insecure'. That's baseless nonsense. Cast lead didn't break out because any feelings. It broke out because of hundreds of rockets fired by the Palestinian Gaza army on Israeli towns.
Your feelings are obviously not based on facts. You have been drinking deeply from the anti Israeli koolaid.
Cast Lead is war and punishment. Bulldozers destroying homes is war. Checkpoints are war. Hundreds of children die because of the rockets that really haven't done much damage in Israel except create FEAR, exactly what I am talking about.
Palestinians are not responsible for their predicament no matter how many "mistakes" they have made. Zionists are responsible. The perpetrator is Zionism and its hogwash claim on other people's property. It is outrageous that you would even posit such a thought. Zionists perpetrated this conflict and are responsible for the results.
My objection to your comments is that you obfuscate with detail that changes nothing. I do not know everything, but I know that Israel has stolen property and intends to keep on stealing property. I know that a modern army is launched against civilians such that 400 children died in Cast Lead (but Israel doesn't target civilians, does it? Imagine if it did!). I know that Palestinians continue to be oppressed on their own land by settlers who seem to me to be sociopaths altogether.
I know these things are true and I bet you do as well. But, lets prevaricate and obfuscate with your insider knowledge that really doesn't change the text at all. Again — Israel gets fearful thinking of Hitler in Teheran and so now many more people will die because of Israeli fear. Israelis living on top of other peoples property and the wreckage of their homes are annoyed by rockets now, so voila! 400 children dead. (I'd still like to look at per capita killing!)
Israel is the aggressor, threatening world peace. Israel has the uninspected unaccountable nuclear arsenal, Israel is so far gone that it now says it doesn't matter if Iran has a bomb, wants to build one, is building one, or not. None of this matters because Israel feels unsafe and therefore more war for Israel and more for the US and more dead people to make Israel feel safe. It is so unacceptable it is hard to see how a grown adult, whether Israeli or American, could accept such demented thinking.
When you get thirsty enough, my wife has just made another quart of our special Kool-Aid.
and, if Israel is so productive, why American aid in the first place? And the indirect subsidy to American weapon suppliers is not a "benefit" to America in any case — it a subsidy to an industry that has dubious social value. The funds could be used for teachers who are being terminated by the hundreds here.
$3 billion divided by 5.8 million, why that's over $500 a head for Israelis! That's $5,000 over 10 years without compounded return) Given that you, Bran, are so proud of Israel's productivity, I recommend you give your $500 back. I am accepting refunds of charity on behalf of citizens of the US.
"Approaching the subject from another perspective, Israel gains a lot from its trade with the United States. This trade allows it to gain huge income revenues, and to compensate for the deficit in its trade balance. The United States is Israel's first trade partner, and the Israeli exports to the United States constitute usually more than one third of the total Israeli exports. For example, the Israeli exports to the United States reached 18 billion dollars in 2006 (38.4% of total exports), and around 16.7 billion dollars in 2009 (35% of total exports).
Similarly for imports, the United States is Israel's first trade partner. In 2009, the Israeli imports from the United States were estimated at 5.848 billion dollars, constituting around 12.3% from the Israeli total imports value estimated by 47.367 billion dollars for the same year.
"The above points out a trade surplus of 11 billion dollars in the Israeli trade balance with the United States. This has actually been the average surplus for the past four years. It is by this surplus that Israel substitutes for the largest part of its trade balance deficit with other countries. Actually if it wasn't for this surplus, the Israeli trade balance would have suffered an annual increase in trade balance deficit ranging between 19.5% and 25.7% in the period 2006-2009."

Technote (FAQ)
In IBM Rational Asset Analyzer, viewing large COBOL source files fails with screen showing Java out-of-memory conditions or blank screen.
When testing the PTF on a very large file, it seems that both the OutputTimeout and ScriptTimeout values have to be large enough for the file to be downloaded. Something just over 2 minutes works. A tester changed them to 10 minutes for his test. After making the change to /etc/httpd.was510.conf, the HTTP server must be restarted. If you want a permanent change, you have to update the /WebSphere/etc.httpd.was510.conf file.
The OutputTimeout and ScriptTimeout values in the HTTP server both have to do with how long some action can be performed by the HTTP server. So, if you have some huge file you are downloading, it can take too long and cause the timeout. In the test case, this was a 110,000 line file.
These are documented configuration settings of the "OS/390 HTTP Server Planning, Installing, and Using" manual:

J.League wrap: Hiroshima top Sendai, standings
Having started the game in second position, Hiroshima claimed victory and top spot thanks to Yojiro Takahagi's 78th-minute goal, which handed Sendai their first defeat in five games.
Fans at Hiroshima's home stadium had to wait until after half-time on Saturday for the first goal as Kazuyuki Morisaki struck in the 48th minute to give the hosts the lead.
Sendai hit back in the 70th minute through Shingo Akamine but eight minutes later Takahagi clinched the three points for Hiroshima that saw them leapfrog the visitors in the standings.
Hiroshima are now on 47 points from 25 matches, two ahead of Sendai and Urawa Reds.
Urawa drew level with Sendai after a 2-1 comeback victory away to Yokohama F. Marinos.
Yokohama took an early lead through Brazilian striker Marquinhos in the fifth minute but the Reds were level at the break thanks to Yosuke Kashiwagi's 23rd-minute strike, while Yomoaki Makino scored the decisive goal in the 64th minute.
An injury time goal from Junya Tanaka ensured reigning champions Kashiwa Reysol snuffed out any chance of a comeback by bottom-club Consadole Sapporo in their 3-1 win.
Kashiwa led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Hidekazu Otani and Masato Kudo but when Shota Sakaki scored in the 81st minute Sapporo still had hopes of snatching a point.
But Tanaka's goal in the fourth minute of second-half injury time ensured Kashiwa won their second match in a row and moved into sixth position.
Omiya Ardija moved out of the relegation spots with a shock 1-0 win over Sagan Tosu with Gamba Osaka slipping into the drop zone thanks to a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Albirex Niigata.
Shinzo Koroki's two goals for Kashima Antlers were not enough for victory as they let Kawasaki Frontale back into the game for a 2-2 draw, while Jubilo Iwata defeated Vissel Kobe 2-1.
In other results, Shimizu S-Pulse drew 1-1 with Tokyo and Nagoya Grampus knocked off Cerezo Osaka 2-0.

Visit Dutch Fantasies
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Part of my family lives in a rural area where there are lots of Dutch immigrants and their descendents, so I've definitely had a few Dutch Fantasies while visiting them. However, you'll have really hit the mother load when you check out this collection of porn shot with amateurs. They live out fantasies that are far dirtier than the thoughts that usually spring to mind when I spy someone Dutch while visiting relatives.
For one thing, usually when I see a Dutch chick I might picture her sucking or riding my dick, but I don't generally imagine another dude being there too. DutchFantasies does, of course, have lots of couples, but it also has quite a few threesomes. One thing I appreciate is that even if the women are super-hot, you're not going to feel as if you're watching a bunch of European pornstars. The men are also just your everyday Johans.
No dates appear on the content, but the site hasn't grown since at least October 2011. You'll find 74 videos to download in Windows Media format and they tend to offer average-quality playback, though I did come across some good-quality flicks as well. You can also check out some high-res pics (or at least very high-quality shots) in 74 photo galleries. There are no Zip files, though.
Now, when I think of Dutch women, I sort of have a narrow idea in my mind. I generally notice the ones who are tall, blonde and blue-eyed, but like all populations, there's plenty of diversity. You'll see loads of brunettes and some redheads. Breast sizes vary, all the babes tend to be young and some are slimmer than others.
You get a lot of bonus sites from the Porn Nerd Network, including Eros Exotica, Bollywood Nudes, Amazing Cleo and Jessi And James. There are supposed to be video feeds to check out as well, but I didn't see any this time around. Of course, you don't want to join a site based on its extra content alone. Unless you're dying to see people from this specific region have sex, the quality might be a bit too low to get you to sign up. And the lack of updates doesn't help things either.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I make a snarky comment about the stoker forgetting where I like the pedal for clipping in. I force the pedal into position and clip in. The stoker dryly remarks that the problem is likely that the cranks are 180 deg OOP. Doh! We had a good laugh and took a few minutes to get the cranks back in phase and retighten the timing chain. We want to give OOP a try someday, but I'm thinking 180 degrees might be a step in the wrong direction. Btw, we went on to have wonderful thirty mile ride, and thankfully the timing chain was the only oops from the winter's maintenance.

In the third season of HBO's Veep, Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) will run to become the first female president of the United States of America.
If you think there's anything remotely inspirational about that prospect, chances are you haven't been watching Veep. Armando Ianucci's series is just a hair less cynical about D.C. than Shonda Rhimes' Scandal. In the world of Veep, politics is just a neverending series of performances in front of the camera and a competition between people who utterly loathe each other to see who can amass the largest collection of toys at the end of the day.
Oh, and it's profanely hilarious in a way very few TV shows even attempt to be. As the likable but grasping Selina, Louis-Dreyfus anchors an exceptionally strong cast of aides to the VP -- all of whom are on the chopping block in the third season. A potential election adviser (Diedrich Bader) breezes into town and urges Selina to fire her entire staff for incompetence or indifference. "I can maximize your chances of becoming the most powerful person on earth," he promises in the 90-second trailer. Selina grins.

Swiss Post; A Positive Review
I thought I would put this in the thread on Swiss post through Hobbyking, but I decided not to because the post is probably not viewed too often anymore. Moreover, I thought that I would share my views on Swiss Post from Hobbyking with the RC world, because not everything is as bad as it sounds.
Firstly, here are my charts indicating the position of the package, just to show all you skeptics that this is the real deal;

2013-04-11 11:44:35 Received data FOTAN HNG 852
Unlike all the negative press on Swiss Post and their delivery from Hobbyking, I can say that this order from the Hong Kong Warehouse has taken less than a WEEK to arrive. I am very pleased; it now says it will arrive tomorrow. I will again post on the quality of the packaging, but I am very satisfied with the delivery speed.
By the way, I ordered on the 9th of April. Perhaps what you should get from this thread is that Swiss Post does not constantly deliver packages months late, as usually depicted.

Four women granted licenses in October found first legal practice focused on women's rights
Published: 01.04.14, 09:41 / Israel News
The first female law practice has opened its doors in Saudi Arabia. The Islamic kingdom
granted four women law licenses in October, a revolutionary step for women in a country where they are banned from driving.
Related stories:
While Zahran is eager to represent women in labor disputes and parental rights, the office will not shy from representing male clients. She told Al Arabiya, "Our activity is not restricted to cases involving only women. Saudi Arabia's lawyer system treats men and women equally and a lawyer has the right to represent men and women."
For her part, the trailblazing Bayan hopes to inspire women across Saudi Arabia. She told Arab News: "This is a very positive step for the Saudi court system… we are four female lawyers who got the license, but I am hopeful that in future, the number will increase."
Women make up less than 20% of the labor force and face the world's only gender ban on driving.
When Saudi women organized in October to rally for their right to drive, the country's Islamic clerics
protested outside King Abdullah's palace.
Women were also previously banned from voting and holding public office, but King Abdullah promised that will change in the 2015 elections.

Dollars and Sense: January was sunny, but ominous clouds loom on the horizon
Money | Warren Cole Smith
January ends. The first month of the year is behind us, and from the stock market's perspective it was a good month. The Dow was up 5.8 percent for the month, its best month since October 2011. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index climbed 5 percent, its strongest January since 1997. The reasons for the gains: We got the fiscal cliff deal behind us, and we saw a lot of positive earnings reports during the month. We learned that orders for durable goods rose in December by 4.6 percent. The report was a sign of strength for the manufacturing sector. For most of January, new claims for unemployment benefits dropped. And among public companies, earnings ended up being mostly better than expected.
Ominous signs. But all was not sweetness and light, especially at the end of the month. The Commerce Department said the economy actually contracted in the fourth quarter, the first time that's happened since 2009. The National Association of Realtors said that its index of pending home sales fell in December, suggesting that sales of previously occupied homes may slow in the coming months. Today we learned that unemployment had ticked back up to 7.9 percent. Consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board, has now fallen for three months in a row. Lots of people, especially high-income earners, saw their paychecks shrink in January. These tax hikes on higher earners took a particularly heavy toll on the Conference Board survey, which showed a bigger decline in confidence among higher-income households.
What's ahead? From Wall Street, we'll see more earnings reports. We're near the end of earnings season, and sometimes that's when you get some surprises. A few negative surprises could change the tone of the entire season. Also, some retailers have Jan. 31 year-ends, so they can fully account for the Christmas sales. So the reports of these companies are not delayed, but they'll be interesting, because retail sales account for about 70 percent of the overall economy.
Whither Europe. Absent crises, Europe has been mostly out of the economic news for the past few months, but the economic environment remains decidedly mixed. This week we heard that European Union unemployment remains high at 11.7 percent. Also, data released by Eurostat on Thursday showed housing prices continue to decline. European home prices fell 0.7 percent in the third quarter. Prices in the Netherlands fell 3.9 percent, the biggest drop in the eurozone. Spain was also hard-hit, with a 3.7 percent drop. The good news is that eight nations posted gains, including Ireland, where prices edged up 1.6 percent.

Tournament of Roses up for Governors Award
NBC-owned KNBC and Fox-owned KTTV lead this year's roster of Los Angeles-area Emmy Award nominees, while the Pasadena Tournament of Roses has been tapped for the kudofest's Governors Award.KNBC and KTTV scored 16 nominations each. But KNBC actually has a slight leg up on KTTV thanks to the first-ever local Emmy nom for a digital subchannel. KNBC's secondary channel 4.2, which airs raw news footage during most weekdays (and weather forecasts at other hours), earned an Emmy nomination in the live special events (news) category. Known as News Raw 4.2, the service picked up the nom for its 2008 Election Night coverage. KNBC's regular Channel 4 news team is also behind the Channel 4.2 programming — which means, added together, KNBC actually earned 17 noms. In third place, CBS' combined KCBS/KCAL duopoly earned 13 nominations, while PBS outfit KCET was next with 10. FSN Prime Ticket earned seven, tied with Tribune's KTLA and public access outlet L.A. Cityview 35. As usual, ABC-owned KABC declined to submit itself for any categories, leaving a handful of station staffers to do so themselves — which is why the outlet earned only five noms, tied with Univision's KMEX and Telemundo's KVEA. The Tournament of Roses picked up the Governors Award in recognition of its 120th anniversary — and its more than 60 years of broadcasting. The Rose Parade has earned 11 L.A. Area Emmys through the years. KTLA earned a nom this year in the live special events (programming) category for the 2008 Tournament of Roses Parade. The Rose Parade coverage is up against KCET's telecast of the 49th annual L.A. County Holiday Celebration. Other notable nominees include recently retired KNBC anchor Paul Moyer, who is competing in the serious news story-single report category for his "Judge's Pay." In key categories, KMEX's Horacio Cervantes will face off against KTLA's Deborah Wilkinson for news director, while KNBC's Mary Harris competes with KTTV's Bob Tarlau for news writer. The hard news reporting category is a competish between KNBC's Ana Garcia and Fred Mamoun; KNBC's Joel Grover and Matt Goldberg; and KTLA's Chip Yost. In sports reporting, FSN West/Prime Ticket's Patrick O'Neal is up against KABC's Curt Sandoval and Dae Ho Suk. And the news feature reporting nominees are KTTV's Christine Devine and Gerri Shaftel; KABC's Rob Hayes; KCBS/KCAL's Dave Malkoff; and KCBS/KCAL's Lisa Sigell. Emmys were already presented in three categories that had only one nominee: creative technical crafts (Educable Channel 95); graphics (FSN West/Prime Ticket) and non-news writer (KCET). And in the news special category, there are two nominees — but the winner is already clear. KTTV's Bob Tarlau is up against himself, for two different reports he produced. As usual, the top newscast awards aren't represented by nominees; instead, every station that enters itself is automatically a candidate for the Emmy. That means every station with a major news operation is represented — except the Emmy-shy KABC. Complete list of nominees: L.A. LOCAL COLOR "Patagonia: Company With A Conscience" • KTTV-TV
