Palestinians foiled 48 anti-Israeli attacks last month: Qorei

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian security forces foiled 48 attempted attacks against Israeli targets last month, prime minister Ahmed Qorei said as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was due in the region on a new peace push.

By Associated Press November 13, 2005

Nothing to see here except the normal repetitive (and blind), poor me nonsense from the Pale's. This from Dahlan no less ....

Mohammed Dahlan participated in Sunday night's negotiations .... Dahlan complained that since the Israeli withdrawal, "Gaza has became an even bigger prison."

Prison .... country. Make it what ever the f*ck you want. It's yours dipsh*t.

All Quiet on the European Front

Lyons, France’s second largest city, witnessed heavy fighting between “youth” and police yesterday afternoon. It was the first rioting in a city center since the French riots began more than two weeks ago. It was also the first rioting in broad daylight.

Yes, everyone (already) has this Brussel's Journal post. There's a reason, very impressive writing about a less than impressive country.

I'm really starting to fall in love with the word again. This link via http://no-pasaran.blogspot.com/ is simply splendiferous. Think Henry Miller, Paris .... fall, 2005 (O.K. I'm exaggerating). Colorful, perhaps too. For any p.c. types. But I didn't write it. And I cadged the link from somewheres else. But you can decide for yourself (oh Elmo don't get all hippie dippie on us now).
