Sorry shorty, can't let you get away with this one either. Israel s heavy handed military and collective punishment of the overall populace has been documented and condemned by every world government, including your own.
Conrad has a "Fark the World" attitude. Which seems to parallel the official policy Israel seems to have taken. The real problem I have with all this is "I" am part of the rest of the world that is getting "Farked" in all this!
In 1938 he went to the United States and during the next years taught at many of the country's leading universities. In 1940 he was involved in legal proceedings when his right to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York was questioned because of his views on morality. Russell was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1908, and re-elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1944. He was awarded the Sylvester medal of the Royal Society, 1934, the de Morgan medal of the London Mathematical Society in the same year, the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950
Bertrand RussellBertrand Arthur William Russell was born at Trelleck on 18th May, 1872. His parents were Viscount Amberley and Katherine, daughter of 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley. At the age of three he was left an orphan. His father had wished him to be brought up as an agnostic; to avoid this he was made a ward of Court, and brought up by his grandmother. Instead of being sent to school he was taught by governesses and tutors, and thus acquired a perfect knowledge of French and German In 1890 he went into residence at Trinity College, Cambridge, and after being a very high Wrangler and obtaining a First Class with distinction in philosophy he was elected a fellow of his college in 1895. But he had already left Cambridge in the summer of 1894 and for some months was attaché at the British embassy at Paris.
He was impressed with the ability of the Italian mathematician Peano and his pupils, and immediately studied Peano's works. In 1903 he wrote his first important book, The Principles of Mathematics, and with his friend Dr. Alfred Whitehead proceeded to develop and extend the mathematical logic of Peano and Frege. From time to time he abandoned mathematics for philosophy. In 1910 he was appointed lecturer at Trinity College.
He was offered a post at Harvard university, but was refused a passport. He intended to give a course of lectures (afterwards published in America as Political Ideals, 1918) but was prevented by the military authorities. In 1918 he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for a pacifistic article he had written in the Tribunal. His Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy (1919) was written in prison. His Analysis of Mind (1921) was the outcome of some lectures he gave in London,
Connie, if it was just your calling Bertrand Russell an idiot it wouldn't seem so curious. But when you call Jimmy Carter and Lady Ashton, and the European Union and the United Nations and the rest of the world idiots it start to have a consistent tone to it. Sorry, JMO
RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has warned he may dissolve his self-rule government and ask Israel to resume full control of the West Bank if troubled peace talks fail.
Dismantling the Palestinian Authority would be a last resort, Abbas told Palestine TV in an interview broadcast late Friday. However, his comments marked the most explicit warning yet that he's considering a step that could crush lingering hopes for a Mideast peace deal.
Ok, so there were only 1.300 killed. Or 1,200, Or One Thousand One Hundred Thirty Seven. People Killed. In retaliation for people lofting rockets at the people they see as stealing their land. What is your point Conrad. Do you see this as just another day at the maintenance department? If you don't see the hard-hotheadedness of your position on this then there really is no need to go any further.
Threatening again Conrad? I thought Lily only did that. If you see me voicing my opinion on Israel s methods and practices as slander then I have to question you and your position as well. Sure, you guys love to kill people who voice their opinions against you. And it makes me wonder why. Why do you kill people Conrad? Does that make you right? Does that change the situation on the ground? Does "spin" really work? I grew up in America while it was predominantly Christian, Anglo Saxon. I've seen the Zionist influence being propagated here in the United States. If my stance of resisting Zionism is cause for me to be assassinated by Mossad then I won't be the only target.
A deadly forest fire is spreading in northern Israel, despite the efforts of all available Israeli firefighters and a growing number of foreign crews.
The fire service told Israeli media on Saturday morning that emergency workers were "still far from attaining control over the fire".
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an appeal for more international help on Friday evening.
At least 41 people have died in what is thought to be Israel's largest blaze.
As the forest fire entered its third day on Saturday, every available firemen in the country was helping to battle the flames in the Carmel Mountain region near the city of Haifa.
A spokesman for the fire service told Israel Radio that the crews were attempting to push the fore "from green areas to areas that were already burnt".
Specially equipped firefighting aircraft and crews from Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Jordan, Egypt and the UK are also assisting.
The US sent a team of experts, fire-fighting supplies and pledged to make additional aircraft available. The Palestinian Authority also sent firefighting units.

Israel: War = Expansion
Sorry short-one, Russell never advocated nor initiated any purges like Cast Lead that lead to the killing of civilians.
