06-16-06 - Israel admits shell report flaws The army has told The Times that its report was flawed because it failed to mention two gunboat shells fired at about the time of the deaths.

One of the shells fell down at the coast west of the evacuated old Dugit settlement, some casualties among the people spending their day at the . . . "

06-16-06 - Get Out Your Tinfoil Hats They appear to be tied to conservatives and there appears to be a tie to townhall.com, the ultra-right-wing web site. Same outfit visited my blog, on more than one occasion. The comments feature is disabled on both of my blogs. Pro-Israelis, actively engaged in 'Hasbara' or PR ops, and whose numbers are extremely high in cyberspace, flood such media with their cybergraffiti every chance they get. I refuse to give them the opportunity. According to my own research, the visitor using netvocates seems to be based in the same city as this scandal involving that state's Republican party . Perhaps they've changed tack and are now jamming blogs instead of phone lines?

06-16-06 - As China's economy grows, so does the Jewish community - and Chabad "Ninety percent of the Jews who come to China come not because they fall in love with Chinese culture, but because there are opportunities." ..."We are absolutely determined that the infrastructure of Judaism in China should be Chabad. That's why we set up a JCC in each place, because Chabad cares for Jews in a way few other organizations do," he said. "We have the right balance of not compromising Jewish values and tolerating those who do. But tolerance does not mean we have to endorse intermarriage." China is slated to be an economic superpower by 2026 (as America's economy tanks). This move is no coincidence. Israel's survival must be ensured (by these folks).

06-16-06 - Open Borders Threaten Jewish Clout Closer to home, massive immigration will obliterate Jewish power by shrinking our percentage of the population ? to a fraction of 1% in 20 years. Jews possess political clout despite tiny numbers because we are concentrated in large electoral vote states, have legendary voting rates, donate significantly to both parties and dominant culture. We will retain residual influence due to campaign contributions, membership in institutional establishments and the endurance of our alliances, but the Latino vote will eventually overwhelm us....And except for the evangelical part of the community, Latinos do not share any particularly strong bond to Israel.....Latino population growth is inevitable, but exponential growth is not. If we can keep the numbers within reasonable bounds ? which would hasten immigrant acculturation and reduce traditional cultural bigotry ? we will likely maintain our position.
Wow. THe Latino immigrants are ok, so long as the Jewish groups can keep their numbers to a comfortable limit - one which would not threaten their interests. The rest of Americans, be damned.
