By Yvonne RidleyNOT content with committing war crimes and human rights atrocities in full view of the world, Israel has now confirmed itself as a rogue state by launching into international piracy. Dawn had not yet broken over the Mediterranean waters in which the SS Dignity was sailing when an Israeli naval gunboat appeared from the inky black and rammed the aid-bearing ship. The act of aggression on a peace mission was launched in international waters 90 miles off Gaza, without any warning to

As 2008 comes to a close we must look back at America’s security and terrorism in general around the world. We also wonder what the new year will bring under Barack Obama’s leadership. Will he favor the far Left and close Guantanamo Bay? Where will the detainees go? Rumor has it that Australia, along with several other countries, has been asked to take some of the detainees. Government agencies begin preparing their year-end reports and presenting them to appropriate agencies and to the g

Robert Fisk: Why bombing Ashkelon is the most tragic irony December 30, 2008, THE INDEPENDENT How easy it is to snap off the history of the Palestinians, to delete the narrative of their tragedy, to avoid a grotesque irony about Gaza which – in any other conflict – journalists would be writing about in their first reports: that the original, legal owners of the Israeli land on which Hamas rockets are detonating live in Gaza. That is why Gaza exists: because the Palestinians who lived in Ash

From Atlanta Georga television station 11Alive: McKinney’s Boat Collides With Israeli Vessel Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was aboard a boat called the Dignity that CNN said was rammed by an Israeli boat. The boat was carrying volunteers and medical supplies to Gaza when it was intercepted. It left Cyprus Monday. “Our mission was a peaceful mission, to deliver medical supplies,” McKinney said. “Our mission was thwarted by aggressiveness of Israeli military. Now one of the thi

Lanyards are popular in multiple avenues of the modern world, whether it is a professional environment
for holding ID cards or in universities where students attach keys to the end of a lanyard bearing the
name of their school.  For those working around machinery or heavy equipment, the breakaway lanyard is
a vital tool. 

Picture the scenario: you are working with an industrial machine, for illustration purposes assume it is
a large blade saw to cut wood.  As you are pushing the wood into the machine, imagine if the lanyard you
have around your neck to display your employee ID becomes stuck in the machine and the force pulls you
toward the blade.  If you are unable to reach and pull the lanyard off your neck in time, the results
could be disastrous.  With the breakaway lanyard, all you need to do is quickly pull at the clip and it
will come off your neck.  The best part, other than not getting your head stuck in a blade machine, is
that you can easily re-attach the lanyard after it has been separated assuming it is still in one piece. 
This item is a must have for anyone working in an industrial environment.

By Steven Plaut There is so much to say about events over the past few days, but I will try to keep mine very short. The web is full of relevant materials. a. As usual, the press and the Israeli political establishment are ignoring what actually produced the massive rocket attacks on the Israeli south, namely the pusillanimous decision to expel the Jews from the Gaza Strip and to turn the area over to the Hamas. The result of that cowardice was entirely predictable and was predicted in these
