06-03-07 - 'USS Liberty' veterans demand investigation danger to our national security exists whenever our elected officials are willing to subordinate American interests to those of any foreign nation, and specifically are unwilling to challenge Israel's interests when they conflict with American interests; this policy, evidenced by the failure to defend USS Liberty and the subsequent official cover-up of the Israeli attack, endangers the safety of Americans and the security of the United States.
I want every blogger in the free world to post this story on their blog. Maybe if we can make enough noise we can force the bastards in the mainstream media to cover the 40 year anniversary of the attack on the USS Liberty. To date only 2 smaller sources have. It's a start.

06-03-07 - 'Wear a veil or we will behead you,' radicals tell TV women All 15 women presenters reported for work at the official Palestine Television station in Gaza yesterday, in defiance of death threats by a radical Islamic group that is believed to have links with al-Qa'ida. The Righteous Swords of Islam warned that it would strike the women with "an iron fist and swords" for refusing to wear a veil on camera. They should start carrying one of these under their robes.

It didn't involve merely 'throwing a stone', as this Haaretz article implies. The man was viciously attacked by these settlers. If I'm not mistaken, an Israeli (soldier?) stepped in to save him. Here is an older BBC report on this incident.

Those who believe this is merely a response to terrorism need to explain why the land being annexed is identical to a map first drawn up by Mr Sharon in 1982.
