Growing interest in alternative views on Sharon and the politically induced coma of the overextended pacification process (mistakenly labeled “peace process”).
“The Israeli newspaper Haaretz found in an investigative report they conducted last month that Israel spends about $550 million alone for the non-military aspects of settlement maintenance and expansion. The Israeli Knesset, meanwhile, estimates that Israel will spend about $3.4 billion on the separation wall, 80% of which is to run inside the occupied West Bank.”

‘Don’t buy fruits of Occupation’: Activists remove Apartheid Israel goods from supermarket shelves In Flanders, Belgium, the Flemish Palestine Solidarity Committee has stepped up its boycott campaign of Israeli goods.
Sort of a creepy outing list using google maps. Obviously the creators behind this aren't trying to incite any action or violence against these people. Um, obviously.
While the BNP is a particularly loathesome organization, we must remember that is is a legal political party in the UK. If you don't like that, blame Labour, not the BNP. You're living in a Labour government which allows the BNP to exist. Saying that people should be sacked from their jobs because of party affiliation is a bit rich and smacks of Red Scare tactics from the era of McCarthyism in the US. Except communism actually was illegal there during that time. These people are racist, homophobic isolationists. Don't give them the status of 'victim.' It's a legal party and must be treated as such.
i found this quote while reading some browser news: "IE 8 isn't earth-shattering by any means -- and that is actually a good thing. We don't need explosively new ideas in the enterprise world."
I didn't actually know that Microsoft's IE actually had "fans." Most likley these are disgruntled web managers and IT geeks upset by change. This article is a fairly well reasoned follow-up to an article on IE's flaws from Windows person and the comment area is full of pithy attacks by andgy IE peoplw. Really, I just thought people used IE because it came installed on their computer. I didn't think they actually preferred it. Hmmm. Takes all kinds.
Someone who turns out to be more of a radical racist wingnut than your usual BNP crowd leaked their membership list to the public. Here is last year's list of the British fascist movement.
E-mail spammers need just one mug in 12.5million to make a profit, a study has revealed. That's a response rate of 0.00000008 per cent – but enough to make up to £2.2million a year if conmen fully exploit the spam network.
Psychopaths are as old as Cain, and they are believed to exist in all cultures, although they are more prevalent in individualistic societies in the West. The Yupik Eskimos use the term kunlangeta to describe a man who repeatedly lies, cheats, steals, and takes sexual advantage of women, according to a 1976 study by Jane M. Murphy, an anthropologist then at Harvard University. She asked an Eskimo what the group would typically do with a kunlangeta, and he replied, “Somebody would have pushed him off the ice when nobody else was looking.”
During the United States election campaign, racists and pro-Israel hardliners tried to make an issue out of President-elect Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein. Such people might take comfort in another middle name, that of Obama's pick for White House Chief of Staff: Rahm Israel Emanuel.
