Gaza: voices from the ground 2:12pm on 30 Dec 2008 Yoram Dinstein who says that the deliberate targeting of civilians and the indiscriminate bombing by Israel are equally forbidden;

Norman Finkelstein an expert on the historical record of the Palestine Israel conflict;

Ali Abunimah:..."[We have to look at the] Warsaw Ghetto or Guernica to find crimes in the modern era of the scale of the viciousness and of the deliberateness of what Israel is committing with the full support of the United States[.]"

Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 2:59pm on 01 Dec 2008 The IAEA have made their report, the only evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons was a "doctored" document and some speculation about a stolen laptop.

Melanie Philips yells from the page that it is not strictly true that Iran doesn't have nukes as CAMERA the (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) says that, despite the IAEA report, there is no conclusive proof that Iran is incapable of developing Nuclear warheads.

Scott Ritter (a conservative weapons inspector) points out that even if Iran were determined to develop nuclear weapons they don't have the capacity to do so, the numbers don't add up.

Why not discuss Thorium and link this with improved trade with Iran?
Images of terror 5:41pm on 30 Nov 2008 I hope that cool heads will prevail in Pakistan and India too.

The Ambassador of Pakistan was quick to deny that the terrorists came from Pakistan on Newsnight which doesn't bode well for any co-operation between India and Pakistan.

There is a possibility that the terrorists came from or were trained in Pakistan.

Pakistan did little to solve the problem of Al-Qaeda networks under General Musharraf, one of the possible reasons why was because it was thought that the military aid that they were receiving from the US would have stopped if they had any success.

Has Tariq Ali been asked to comment on these events on the BBC recently?
Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 08:54am on 24 Nov 2008 MarcusAureliusII ,
Your comments are deliberate misinformation and serve no other purpose but to insult and annoy.
The UN and the International Court of Justice have been clear regarding Israel, history has remembered and will continue to remember their decisions.

Obama needs a lesson in geography before he talks about a "united Jerusalem."
Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 9:41pm on 23 Nov 2008 MarcusAureliusII: "But then if the [P]alestinians were smart, they wouldn't have created the predicament they are in."

Please spell Palestinians with a capital 'P' even if you are going to insult them.

It is evident that Chaim Ben Pesach, who has been banned from YouTube, has decided to post here.
Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 7:52pm on 23 Nov 2008 MarcusAureliusII,

What Israel's neighbours are like is irrelevant, Israel is just a bad, what Norman and his supporters are asking for are two states, the end of occupation and for Israel to rebuild its wall elsewhere other than Palestine.
Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 09:08am on 23 Nov 2008 MarcusAureliusII,

Can Obama bring peace to the Middle East? 08:57am on 23 Nov 2008 What's there to negotiate?

UN resolutions and the International court of Justice are already clear on borders and the occupation and the wall.

One of the excuses that the Golan Heights haven't been returned is because of the dispute between Syria and Lebanon about the Shebaa farms, Israel agrees with Syria that it is part of Syrian territory but as this area is a disputed the whole region it will remain occupied.
How "The One" won ... 06:26am on 06 Nov 2008 Mistake comment 3 above should read COMEX.
How "The One" won ... 8:44pm on 05 Nov 2008 Dennis Kucinich was disenfranchised from the Democrat debate not to mention the third party candidates of Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney who had negligible coverage.

Obama, so what.

Death penalty, coal and nuclear fuel, Israel...

I don't care about what people are saying in bars give us the news.

No here's the really bad news.

The current financial crisis is too complicated for anyone to understand, is that's the BBC line?

What happened to the value of the $US? One day it was toilet paper suddenly it's the currency of choice again, anything to do with the mass selling of gold as it was one of the few commodities that could be sold?

There is $500 trillion in estimated derivatives against $3 trillion of above ground gold, the world's alternative currency, what's going to happen when the COREX gets bought up by, say the Russians, what then?

Robin, do you job instead of waffling.

Re: Congo, it has nothing to do with funding from Rwanda and everything to do with Sony, Barclays Bank, Anglo American & De Beers doing business with paramilitaries who control the resources.

5.4 million dead.
