Israel to boycott Durban II anti-racism conference

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced Wednesday that Israel has made a final decision to boycott the United Nations “Durban II” conference on human rights this spring, fearing it would be used once again as a forum for anti-Israeli sentiment. (Ynet)

Wait a minute. People die of hunger, civil wars in thousands around the globe, UN is watching this passively… The crisis hit the poorest badly, and UN spends - whose money? - on anti-Israel witchhunt? Why are there no funds and means for good dedds? Why is there always a lot of money when it comes to anti-US and anti-Israel activities?

Should Israel boycott the racism conference?

US government to tell 7,000 sites they’re high-risk terror targets

Friday, June 20th, 2008

The US government will tell 7,000 businesses next week that they are considered high-risk terrorist targets because they house large amounts of chemicals.

The sites - which range from major chemical plants to universities, food processing centers and hospitals - will need to complete a vulnerability assessment so the government can decide how to regulate their security measures in the future.

Surprise, surprise (Ynet)

Israel by the Numbers

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton recently promised to stand behind Israel, with Clinton saying she’d “obliterate Iran” if it attacked the state. In all likelihood Israel won’t need her help:

6 is the World rank of Israel’s nuclear arsenal by volume of bombs, according to the U.S. Defence Intellegence Agency estimates.

100 - 250 is the number of nukes in the arsenal, by the Federation of American Scientists’ count.

3 is the number of deployment options for Israeli nuclear weapons - one by air, two by land, three by sea.

2 is the number of Israel’s Dolphin-class, German-made nuclear submarines, which give it a second-strike capability.
