Monday, September 4, 2006 Three weeks after a cease-fire ended Israel's monthlong war against Hezbollah guerrillas, Israel is increasingly concerned that government officials and army officers traveling abroad could face war crimes charges, a Foreign Ministry official said Monday.
A special legal team is preparing to provide protection for officers and officials involved in the 34-day conflict in Lebanon, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media. Comment: Now why would Israeli politicians and military men fear war crimes prosecutions if they didn't committ war crimes?

06/09/2006 In its first-ever public recruiting drive, being launched on Tuesday, the Shin Bet security service is calling on high-tech geeks to join the anti-terror battle. "If you thought the only way to fight terror was with Arabic, think again," says the campaign's slogan.
Shin Bet sources admit the ad campaign is also intended to change the organization's image. For many, the first thing that springs to mind at the mention of Shin Bet is torture. The people in the service are tired of that. They want the Shin Bet to be associated with advanced technology and software development. "We want the public to know other sides [of the service], not only the investigations and dark rooms," a Shin Bet source said on Monday. "The public doesn't know the service's technological side, which is an essential tool of preventive security. Part of the campaign's aim is to bring that to mind." Comment: Ahhh...isn't that nice! You see, Israeli intelligence is not ALL about torturing Palestinian men, women and children to death, some of it is also about helping to FIND the Palestinian men, women and children BEFORE Shin Bet tortures them. So come on Israeli young people! Get involved, kill a few Palestinians children...you'll feel much better, Shin Bet PROMISES you will.

05/09/2006 Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is the "best" candidate in the 2008 race for Israel, a panel of eight Israeli experts assembled by Haaretz has determined.
Giuliani is followed by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Arizona Senator John McCain and New York Senator Hillary Clinton. Ranking bottom of the list is Illinois Senator Barack Obama. As part of a new project, The Israel Factor: Ranking the presidential candidates" the panel will rank the candidates every month, up until the 2008 election, awarding them marks out of 10 on a series of questions that will determine which candidates are "best" for Israel. Comment: Let us just reiterate that there is NO special relationship between America and Israel. No high-ranking members of American political life in any way owe their allegiance to Israel. Just remember that, ok? And ignore what is in front of your face.
