We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

As the tanks roll over the refugee camps in Palestine and the apartite wall goes up, with open blatant racist policies with the mandatory wearing of special ID badges of non- “jewish” people, While "israel" "legalizes" the Murder of Palestians and Theft of more Palestinian land the destruction of Palestinian Property and isreal drains billions in blood money from US. The organization said it was outraged at published reports that 69 percent of 7,500 Europeans surveyed called Israel the Top threat to world peace.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has called for excluding the European Union from Israel-Palestinian "peace" talks after reports of a new poll showing many Europeans consider Israel the top threat to world peace. Wiesenthal Center dean Rabbi Marvin Hier said the result "defies "logic" and is a racist flight of fantasy that only shows that anti-Semitism is deeply embedded within European society, more than any other period since the end of World War II." The survey, first reported by the Spanish newspaper El Pais, has not yet been released. Its main result was reported Friday by the International Herald-Tribune, which cited a source at the European Commission. Full results are to be released by the European Commission tomorrow. "This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, 'hook, line and sinker,' to the vilification and demonization campaign directed against the State of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media," Hier said in the statement posted on the Wiesenthal Center Web site. He said that if the reports are accurate, "Israel should draw the only conclusion possible - that the European Union and its members should play no role in any future "peace" process." The Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal Center also asked supporters to sign an Internet petition to European Commission President Romano Prodi saying Europe's "blatant bias" disqualifies it from "peace" talks. Minister Natan Sharansky, responsible for the Diaspora and Jerusalem affairs, said Saturday that the poll results prove "anti-Semitism" lurks behind European political criticism on Israel. "Just like in the past when the Jew was blamed for usury for being thieves and murderous cannibals, the 'enlightened' world today uses that same claim about the Jewish state. The European Union must work to stop the demonization of Israel before Europe deteriorates back to its dark past, we are not the children of satin."

During the night the Israeli occupation force came into Nablus, this occured in the region of 2am, they entered the old city and also Balatta refugee camp. It appears that in the old city 5 or 6 soldiers were injured by a bomb which exploded as they conducted their incursion. We have had reports that as 5 or 6 soldier walked through the market place a bomb was detonated in a box between them. The army withdrew later from both areas. At approximately 6:30 this morning they returned to Balatta refugee camp. They have occupied a house about 100 metres from here. We have been told there was 3 jeeps and a tank at the entrance of the camp. Two small boys have been injured with live ammunition. At this end of the camp there is a jeep and a humvee and they have occupied the houe of Niam Gusowy and Hamed Onab, keeping the families hostage as human shields. The army has been firing from the vehicles and house as children try to go to school and boys throw stones. They have also fired smoke grenades and possibly other weapons. The occupied house has approx. 5 soldiers and 10-12 Palestinians including 6 or 7 children. Several ISM activists have been on the street shielding children and we also attempted to communicate to the soldiers in the house to no avail.

Yesterday they shot and killed 1 man from Askar refugee camp near the village of Deir Al Hatab.

Israel is in the closing stages of a multi-decade program to steal the occupied territories from the palestinians. Part of this program has been to torture the palestinians as a people so that they would give up and leave. The Palestinians have resisted this with heroic bravery, and so the 'greater zionist' Israelis are now considering ethnic cleansing or even extermination as a way to take the palestinian's land.

Note that there are millions of Israelis who not a part of this evil, but unfortunately the majority is either gullible enough or evil enough to enable it to happen.

Just like in germany in the 1930's...
