"It was a daring raid, even by Israeli standards."
French find the villain in the protests - the mediaYou don't say...! (Hattip: Roland Milelli)
(Paris) Even Christine Lagarde, France's trade minister, has received phone calls from concerned friends in Chicago and Washington to check whether she was safe.
As scenes of vandalism and violence in central Paris flicker across television screens abroad and major newspapers speak of riots and anarchy in France, people here are grumbling that the media coverage of three weeks of mass protests against a labor law - especially in the English-language press - has unjustly distorted France's image.
A CNN anchor, Kyra Phillips, likened clashes between young vandals and riot police officers at the end of a march Tuesday in Paris to the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising in Beijing that led to the deaths of hundreds of pro-democracy activists. Three days earlier, the British tabloid The Sun advised its readers "Don't go to Paris," saying that they would be safer in Baghdad than in the French capital right now.
A week before she embarks on a four- city trip to the United States with the ambition of countering the negative images, Lagarde complained Wednesday that media coverage had been "excessive."
"We're meeting with the French community and with investors and are trying to explain that despite the fact that they see people on the street all the time and nothing else, it's not every day and it's not the whole of France," she told reporters Wednesday.
Defense Minister Michèle Alliot- Marie put it more starkly: "We're not in Baghdad," she said in a statement to the International Herald Tribune.
"Some foreign columnists amplify and exaggerate the situation in France, just as they did during the unrest in the suburbs," she said, referring to three weeks of rioting last autumn in immigrant suburbs outside France's big cities.
"Oh, das darf man eigentlich gar nicht sagen. Aber wir sind ja unter uns. Also, wenn im Krieg Flugzeuge eingesetzt werden, dann fliegen die immer zu zweit. Und das zweite Flugzeug, das das erste beschützen soll, das nennen die Piloten 'Dash Two'. Und weil unser Sohn auch seine Schwester beschützen soll, haben wir ihm ein 'Dashtu' hinzugefügt."Großartig.
(76.) Nie mehr Zweite Liga! Die zahlreichen Aachener Fans im Himmel. Das gibt ne Sause auf der Heimfahrt, die sich gewaschen hat!Tabellenführer, jetzt elf Punkte Vorsprung auf Platz 4 - tatsächlich war es am Ende ein perfekter Abend für die Alemannia. Dabei hatten es die Schwarz-Gelben (heute mal ganz in weiß) wieder einmal unnötig spannend gemacht. Binnen zwei Minuten verspielte man einen 2:0-Vorsprung - gerade so als wolle man den enthusiasmierten Fans im Stadion, am Radio und im Internet zurufen: "Wir sind noch nicht aufgestiegen!"
Syrian leader on U.S. TV: Number of Holocaust victims not important, same thing happening in PalestineMore on our special friend Assad on SoE here, here, and here.
Yitzhak Benhorin
WASHGINTON – Assad joins the Holocaust-denial party: It turns out that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not the only world leader apparently not wholly familiar with the historical facts of the Holocaust.
In an interview with American public television, Syrian President Bashar Assad said that while a massacre of Jews took place during World War II, the perception in the Middle East is that the number of Holocaust victims was exaggerated.
The Syrian leader added that he did not know whether the killing of Jews was carried out through shootings or the use of gas chambers, noting he is not an expert on the matter.
The killing method or number of victims are not important, Assad argued, adding that what happened in the Holocaust is the "same thing" now happening in Palestine. [There he's in perfect agreement with most Germans; SoE.]
The shocking comments were made during a nighttime interview on a low-rating channel and were not covered by the U.S. media.
Pensioners a big hit in Tel Aviv
In front of one Tel Aviv polling booth, four well-dressed trendy-looking 20-somethings tried to convince passers-by to vote for the pensioners' party. Though the activists seemed uncertain of where the party stood on issues such as defense and the economy, they said that as young, well-off Tel Aviv residents, they wanted to do something to help the "poor old people." They also acknowledge that it was a trend among youth in Tel Aviv to vote for the Gil party.One Gil supporter, Sonya Blikin, saying she was "voting for the pensioners because they're the only party with a platform I can support. Actually, I'm not sure what the platform is," she admitted, "but I know that old people and poor people are sitting in the streets, and I feel bad and I want to do something to help them." (...)
Back at Rabin Square, a crowd of teenage girls chanted "Save our grandfathers" on Tuesday afternoon. They said they had no official affiliation with any party, but had decided to come to the square at the last moment because "the old people need all the help they can get."
We suspect that most of the youngsters quoted in this report are also supporters of Israel's Anti-Passiflora Movement. Read more about the Pensioner's Party here.
Exit polls show center-left bloc winning 62-66 seats
Exit polls released as polling stations closed at 10 P.M. Tuesday showed center-left parties gaining a total of between 62 and 66 seats, with Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Kadima winning 29 to 32 seats, Labor 20-22 seats, Meretz five and the Arab parties seven to eight seats.
The Likud, which had hoped to block a center-left coalition, won 11 to 12 seats in the poll, far below the figures the party had hoped and a far cry from the 38 seats it won under Ariel Sharon in 2003.
The results, if accurate, could mean that the Likud would become Israel's fourth largest party, with the Russian immigrant-dominated Yisrael Beiteinu becoming the third largest list in the 120-seat house with 12 to 14 seats.
In the largest surprise of the night, the Pensioners party was seen to win six to eight seats. The Sephardi ultra-Orthodox Shas won 10-11 seats in the exit polls, meaning it could have the same strength as the Likud.
The polls also showed the right-wing National Union-NRP taking eight to nine seats and the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism five to six seats.
Low turnout vexes large parties
The three largest parties had been under mounting pressure as polls neared closing time, fearing that the lowest voter turnout in Israeli electoral history may sap their strength in the next Knesset.
BREAKING NEWS
Saudi envoy welcomes Osirak attack
Israel’s 1981 attack on Iraq’s nuclear reactor was “probably” fortunate, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Washington said.
Asked March 23 whether Saudis now welcomed the attack on the Osirak nuclear reactor, given Iraq’s subsequent aggression against Kuwait, Turki al-Faisal answered, “Probably, yes.” Faisal appeared caught off guard by the question, which came when he called on Israel to disarm to create a nuclear-free Middle East. “We all know that Israel has atomic weapons and that’s why removing these threats from the Middle East on a uniform basis would serve Israel’s purpose as well as the rest of the countries in the area,” he said.
Israel’s attack on Iraq was widely condemned at the time.

Nur eine Minute nach dem Platzverweis scheiterte Marius Ebbers knapp an Sead Ramovic. Der Keeper stellte sich auf den Fuß des Mittelstürmers, der schubste ihn weg, und Ramovic zeigte eine seiner bekannten theatralischen Einlagen, mit denen er bereits beim Hinspiel auffällig wurde. Anklam fiel darauf rein und zeigte Ebbers die Gelbe Karte. Es war der einzige Erfolg von Ramovic, Ebbers’ Rache war grausam. „Das waren genau die richtigen Antworten“, feixte der Torjäger später.Nach vier Toren von Alemannias Mittelstürmer und jetzt acht Punkten Vorsprung auf Platz 4 ist das Tor zur ersten Liga nun endgültig weit offen. Danke, danke!
Nach bewährtem Muster wird der „Kreislauf der Gewalt“ bemüht, in dem die Ermordung von 30 Holocaust-Überlebenden am Pessach-Fest (bei Arte beharrlich „Pescha“ genannt) und die Eliminierung mörderischer Terroristen als eine Soße erscheinen. Ach nein, nicht einmal das. Man macht letzteres zum größeren Verbrechen.
Und das geht so:
Das Strafgesetzbuch unterscheidet aus gutem Grund zwischen Mord und Tötung. Jeder weiß: „Mörder ist, wer aus Mordlust, zur Befriedigung des Geschlechtstriebs, aus Habgier oder sonst aus niedrigen Beweggründen, heimtückisch oder grausam oder mit gemeingefährlichen Mitteln oder um eine andere Straftat zu ermöglichen oder zu verdecken, einen Menschen tötet“.
Bei Arte aber ist ein gezielter Angriff auf einen palästinensischen Terroristenführer im Frühjahr 2002 ein „Mordanschlag“, obwohl der israelischen Armee vor dem Hintergrund der beispiellosen terroristischen Bedrohung kaum niedere Beweggründe unterstellt werden können und, was die mögliche Heimtücke betrifft, ein Terroristenführer, der sich qua eigener Untaten auf die Abschlussliste der IDF katapultiert hat, gewiss nicht arglos sein kann, wenn der Sensenmann an seine Tür klopft.
Man ahnt, wie es weitergeht: Ist der Terrorist schon einem „Mordanschlag“ zum Opfer gefallen, werden die 30 Shoah-Überlebenden bei der Pessach-Feier im Park-Hotel von Netanya (na?) „getötet“. Dabei trifft die Definition von Mord im Sinne des § 211 StGB im Fall dieses Terroranschlags den Nagel auf den Kopf: Der niedrige Beweggrund ist mit dem Rassismus des Täters, der die Juden als "Feinde Allahs" und als "Abkömmlinge von Affen und Schweinen" als lebensunwertes Leben verachtet, genauso gegeben wie die besondere Heimtücke, denn er verschaffte sich als Frau verkleidet Zutritt zum Festsaal, um sich dort inmitten von hundert Feiernden in die Luft zu sprengen.
Arte schert es nicht. Und wer solchermaßen Mord und Totschlag umetikettiert, bringt es auch fertig, selbst den Fall Jenin so darzustellen, dass ein Saeb Erekat sich feixend auf dem Sofa windet.
At about 3am yesterday the SAS squadron commander in charge of the rescue force summoned his team at their base inside the heavily fortified green zone. The force consisted mainly of SAS troopers, backed by about 50 soldiers from the 1st Battalion The Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines — all members of the Special Forces Support Group codenamed Task Force Maroon.Defence sources told The Times that helicopters with reconnaissance cameras and Predator unmanned aerial vehicles, which can monitor movements on the ground from 20,000ft, were deployed. The men who spearheaded the rescue arrived in a convoy of cars disguised as local taxis and pick-up trucks.
Half the team set up a cordon several streets away from the target so that innocent civilians did not blunder into an operation that might end in a shoot-out. The 25 men who burst into the two-storey building used classic hostage-rescue techniques, storming every room simultaneously to ensure no one escaped.
They found the three hostages sitting bound on the floor of a ground-floor room. Their captors had fled. No shots were fired. In case the kidnappers were lurking nearby the hostages were cut free, taken out of the building and bundled into the back of an army Land Rover. Less than two minutes after the rescue force had entered the building, the three Westerners were on their way to freedom.
U.S. plans new bases in the Middle East
The U.S. military has developed a ten-year plan for "deep storage" of munitions and equipment in at least six countries in the Middle East and Central Asia to prepare for regional war contingencies.
The plans, revealed in March 2006 contracting documents, call for continued storage in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman, as well as the establishment of two new storage hubs, one in a classified Middle Eastern country "west" of Saudi Arabia ("Site 23") and the other in a yet to be decided "central Asian state."
Despite impressive physical facilities in Saudi Arabia, freedom of action from Saudi bases has always been a sticking point between the U.S. and the Saudis.

Israel will begin setting its final borders over the next two years according to a plan based on including the major West Bank settlement blocs and the Jordan Valley, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.
Spelling out his vision of the future borders, Mofaz said in an exclusive interview that Israel would retain control over the settlements of Ofarim and Beit Aryeh, currently on the Palestinian side of the security fence. He also indicated that the withdrawal from the West Bank would include civilians and the military. But, he said, Israel would retain a "free hand" to operate within the evacuated areas at its discretion.
In a detailed listing of the settlement blocs to be retained under a second withdrawal following the Gaza and northern Samaria disengagement, Mofaz included Ma'aleh Adumim, the Jordan Valley, Ariel, Kedumim-Karnei Shomron, Gush Etzion, Reihan-Shaked and Ofarim-Beit Aryeh.
"These are the main places," he explained. "And if the need arises, we will move the security fence to enclose all of these places."
During the interview, which will appear in its entirety in Friday's Post, Mofaz said that Israel would prefer to set its borders in agreement with the Palestinian Authority and based on the US-backed road map. "But if we see that we do not have a partner, then I think we will need to take our fate into our own hands and make a decision where it is right to be and where it is not right to be," he said.

Autistic Teen's Hoop Dreams Come True(Picture: Eric Sucar, The Daily Messenger/AP)
It was the stuff of Hollywood, but it was real.
Senior Jason McElwain had been the manager of the varsity basketball team of Greece Athena High School in Rochester, N.Y.
McElwain, who's autistic, was added to the roster by coach Jim Johnson so he could be given a jersey and get to sit on the bench in the team's last game of the year.
Johnson hoped the situation would even enable him to get McElwain onto the floor a little playing time.
He got the chance, with Greece Athena up by double-digits with four minutes go to.
And, in his first action of the year, McElwain missed his first two shots, but then sank six three-pointers and another shot, for a total of 20 points in three minutes.
"My first shot was an air ball (missing the hoop), by a lot, then I missed a lay-up," McElwain recalls. "As the first shot went in, and then the second shot, as soon as that went in, I just started to catch fire."
"I've had a lot of thrills in coaching," Johnson says. "I've coached a lot of wonderful kids. But I've never experienced such a thrill."
The crowd went wild, and his teammates carried the excited McElwain off the court.
"I felt like a celebrity!" he beamed.
Auch moderate Palästinenser sind jetzt der Meinung, dass Gespräche mit Israel keinen Sinn ergeben. "Die Zeichen stehen auf Gewalt", meint der palästinensische Menschenrechtler Bassem Eid.Warum machen Gespräche mit Israel keinen Sinn? Etwa, weil die palästinensische Seite sich grundsätzlich nicht an die Ergebnisse solcher Gespräche hält?
Auch blieben aus Protest gegen die Militäraktion viele Geschäfte und Schulen in den Palästinensergebieten geschlossen.Was genau einem Volk auf der Erde schadet: den Palästinensern.
Die Hamasführung hatte Saadat die Freiheit versprochen, sobald sie die Regierung bilden werde. Abbas wusste, dass er das nicht verhindern konnte.Warum unterstützt die EU einen Präsidenten, der keinen Einfluss auf die Politik in seinem Land hat?
So blieb der EU nichts anderes übrig, als zum Ende der Gewalt gegen Europäer aufzurufen. Der Appell sei eindringlich und von höchstem Nachdruck, erklärte EU-Kommissionspräsident José Manuel Barroso vor dem Europäischen Parlament in Straßburg. "Niemand hat den Palästinensern mehr geholfen als die EU", sagte Barroso vor dem Parlament. "Die EU war einer der Geldgeber des palästinensischen Volkes und möchte dies auch bleiben."Peinlicher und plumper kann man nicht öffentlich darum betteln, auch in Zukunft das monatliche Schutzgeld überweisen zu dürfen.
Außenkommissarin Benita Ferrero-Waldner wurde noch deutlicher: Falls die Übergriffe auf Europäer und ihre Einrichtungen nicht enden sollten, müsse die EU über Kürzungen der Hilfen für die Palästinenser nachdenken.Wie viele von diesen "Übergriffen" braucht die EU noch, um den Nachdenkprozess zu starten?
Das war eine deutliche Warnung: (...) Ein Kürzung oder Unterbrechung der Zahlungen würde allerdings nicht nur die Palästinenser, sondern auch die EU treffen: Sie hätte damit keinerlei Einfluss mehr auf die Autonomiebehörde.Ganz offensichtlich hat die EU derzeit schon genau null Einfluss auf die PA. Was also hat die EU zu verlieren?
In Brüssel denkt man deshalb bereits darüber nach, die Gelder an Präsident Abbas umzuleiten (...).Das System Arafat also noch einmal von vorne. Was genau will man damit erreichen, dass man Millionenbeträge an einen Mann überweist, der - wie der Artikel selbst zum Ausdruck bringt - vollkommen irrelevant für politische Entscheidungsprozesse in seinem Land ist?
A new cult figure is born. And we are proud to have discovered and supported him long before he became famous.Die verwahrloste Jessica in Hamburg, der tote Tim in Elmshorn, die erwürgten Babys von Neuendorf – Timo Tasche ist immer da.
Er sieht den ganzen Tag Fernsehen: „Natürlich Nachrichten! Es könnte ja irgendwo wieder etwas Schreckliches passieren. Dann muß ich sofort los.“
Der junge Mann will bald sein Abi nachholen, hat kaum Geld zur Verfügung: „Ich muß mich immer entscheiden: Gehe ich einkaufen oder tanken, um zu einem Tatort fahren zu können. Meistens mache ich mich dann auf den Weg.“
Cigars, birds, flowers and servants — life inside Jericho jailAnd the terrorists have lost their paradise - trading it for a real jail.
by Stephen Farrell
Palestinian terrorist suspects are said to have served their time in style before the bulldozers arrived
Britain made a robust defence yesterday of its decision to pull out of Jericho prison before an Israeli raid, citing fears that its monitors would be kidnapped, and painting a portrait of a jail controlled by inmates living in luxury.
Palestinian guards confirmed yesterday that Ahmed Saadat, a leading militant captured by Israeli troops in the raid, kept birds and flowers in his quarters. Western officials said that Saadat in effect used other prisoners as “domestic staff”.
An official told The Times that Fuad Shobaki, the alleged moneyman behind a 2002 weapons shipment intercepted by Israel, smoked up to five Cuban cigars a day and was known as “The Brigadier” to inmates and staff. He was also seized.
“Saadat and Shobaki were very much in charge,” one prison source said. “These guys were running the prison. They did what they wanted, when they wanted.” (…)
Mark Regev, an Israeli government spokesman, said that Israel had asked for the monitors to remain. “There was an Israeli request last week to the British and Americans that the monitors stay on. We wanted the status quo to be maintained.”
But British sources spoke of a “credible and specific” warning this year that the PFLP had planned to free its prisoners, “possibly taking the monitors hostage”. They also cited warnings last year that militant groups planned to kidnap monitors. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has released a letter to Mr Abbas from John Jenkins, the British Consul-General, and his American counterpart giving final warning that the monitoring would end unless the Palestinian Authority ensured “full compliance” with the monitoring agreements and improved the security of the US and British personnel.
It followed reports by monitors that the six prisoners had access to computers, mobile phones and were not “locked down” at night. The monitors said that they were forbidden to search cells and that mobile phone jammers were switched off. (…)
Yesterday UN offices across the West Bank and Gaza remained closed as a precaution after the mayhem on Tuesday when offices were attacked and international staff kidnapped. But Sami Musallam, the Palestinian governor of Jericho and the Jordan Valley, dismissed concerns over the monitors’ safety as “bullshit”.
He said that in four years the six inmates had not left jail except to go to the mosque, dentist and hospital. He added that Shobaki was not allowed visits from his wife. “We have always depended on the British and Americans to be the guarantors of agreements between us and the Israelis,” he said. “We put a lot of trust in them, and now they have lost our confidence.”
Former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar said Tuesday that Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told him five years ago that "setting Israel on fire" was the first order of business on the Iranian agenda.
Britain's tiny contingent of monitors left Jericho's jail soon after 9am yesterday, telling Palestinian staff that they were taking their car to be fixed. In reality they had no intention of returning to watch over its 200 inmates, among them Ahmed Saadat, the man accused of masterminding the assassination of Rehavam Zeevi, Israel's tourism minister, in 2001.Instead, the three monitors headed out of the jail and began the uphill drive from the lowest city on earth to Jerusalem. The Foreign Office later said they were leaving because of fears for their "security" and few doubt that inside Jericho jail the inmates ran the show.
Saadat's cell was more of an office. He had telephones and television sets. The jail's Palestinian guards stayed away from his quarters, which included a kitchen and an area to receive guests.
The British monitors stayed even further back. But to Israel, which has long wanted Saadat in its custody, they guaranteed that men it considered terrorist murderers were at least serving their time behind bars, even if those bars were covered by curtains.
When the British left, that guarantee evaporated, particularly as the newly elected Palestinian militant group Hamas had hinted it might free Saadat. So as the monitors moved out, the Israeli army - long ready for its capture or kill mission - moved in.
The military operation to raid the jail truly began at the moment the British passed an Israeli army checkpoint, according to senior Israeli commanders. "One, two, three, I counted the British monitors out," said an Israeli colonel, second-in-command of yesterday's operation. "We have standing orders to act in this case, so we went in."
Within minutes, a passage of time that provoked furious Palestinian accusations of collusion between Britain and the Israelis, the mission was under way.
Gen Guy Tzur insisted that there had been no co-operation with Britain. The operation had been prompted by Palestinian hints that Saadat and five others wanted for Mr Reevi's killing might be released.
Angry Muslims Protest Bush-Hitler ComparisonsWarning for Stern readers and editors: Pst, it's a hoax! (Hattip: FDR)
Muslim protests erupted worldwide this week after a high school teacher in Colorado compared Bush to Hitler. "It is a crime in Sharia law to insult Hitler (PBUH)!" stated Abdul Ali Aziz in a Muslim street interview. (...)
"The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the founder of our modern Palestinian movement, was best friends with the Prophet Adolf (PBUH). They used to dine, eat crumpets, and drink tea together at the Berghoff. The Grand Mufti had a radio show for Hitler (PBUH) [actually, it was the other way round, SoE] and raised a legion of Waffen SS for him and now this latest insult! Allah is my witness, those Danish cartoons now look funny in comparison!" (...)
Aggravating the affront was the latest comment made by a Colorado teacher Jay Bennish in class, replayed many times over by right-wing talk show radio hosts. CNN and some other networks have chosen not to repeat teacher Bennish's words out of respect for Hitler and Islam.

Offener Bruch des Atomwaffensperrvertrages durch (kostenlose) Lieferung von Unterseebooten an Israel
Berlin/Jerusalem. Nach einer früheren Meldung des britischen ”Observer” ist die atomare Bewaffnung der von Deutschland an Israel gelieferten U-Boote der Dolphin-Klasse vorgesehen. Damit bricht die Bundesregierung den Atomwaffensperrvetrag - mit Hilfe einer Finanzierung aus Steuermitteln mit mehr als einer Viertel Milliarde Euro. (...)
Durch diese Ausrüstung der israelischen Marine sind mindestens eine Milliarde Menschen der Bedrohung durch israelische Atomwaffen unterworfen, ausgehend vom Aktionsradius der Dolphin U-Boote. Ihre spezielle Ausrüstung nicht nur mit konventionellen Torpedoschächten mit einem Durchmesser von 533 Millimeter sondern in einer Sonderausstattung mit vier Schächten von 650 mm ermöglicht den Einsatz atomar bestückter Marschflugkörper für größere Reichweiten. (...)
Die vorgesehene Nutzung der von Deutschland zugelieferten U-Boote zum Zweck der Bedrohung vieler Länder des Mittleren Ostens durch israelische Atomwaffen ist vor dem Hintergrund der bekannten Informationen unübersehbar. Die Erklärungen der hierzulande für diesen Vorgang verantwortlichen Politiker, dies sei nicht der Fall, müssen deshalb als vorsätzliche Täuschung der Öffentlichkeit oder ansonsten als grob fahrlässige Ignoranz und Verletzung ihrer Amtspflichten eingeschätzt werden, der sie in ihren Funktionen bzw. als Mandatsträger komplett disqualifiziert und deshalb nur ihre Ablösung als angemessene Konsequenz infrage kommt.
