...Ronnie Yahia, a 47-year-old student at the Sapir College for Liberal Arts in Ashkelon and a father of four, was a bitter reminder of the threat Israel faces on its sixtieth anniversary. It is a similar reminder to the one the Israeli army was given in southern Lebanon in July 2006 during the tragic Second Lebanon War. There were harbingers of this day. In January 2002, when Karine-A, a ship loaded with 50 tons of bullets, missiles and mines, was caught in the Red Sea, substantiating the long-suspected link between the Shiite Islamic Republic of Iran...
...perspective, the implications are clear and it will defend itself at any price, as costly and as tragic as it may be. On the Northern front, a million Israelis were displaced in the Second Lebanon War, due to an incessant raid of missiles emerging from Hezbollah outposts in Southern Lebanon. With an average of 150 missiles a day raining on its citizens for over a month, Israel had no choice but to target the very villages in which Hezbollah had been taking refuge among civilians. On the Southern front, the citizens of Sderot and the Western Negev have...
...Israel has acknowledged its need to withdraw from Arab territory, which they had occupied for security considerations. Withdrawal from the 20-mile “Security Belt” in Southern Lebanon in May 2000 proved counter-productive. It brought Hezbollah 20 miles closer to the Northern borders. Its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in August 2005 was fatal. With long range missiles, neither the residents of Sderot, not Ashkelon, nor my parents in Tel Aviv, can sleep peacefully at night...
...science is more than ever a truly global enterprise, especially for solving challenges such as energy and climate change. The latest example of this, they claim, is Congress' recent failure to appropriate any funds this year to the $20 billion multi-national fusion power project (ITER) being constructed in southern France. The landmark R&D project is aimed at demonstrating the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power, and the U.S. has pledged to cover 10% of the cost over 10 years...
...freeze may explain why Bout was willing to stick his neck out for new business. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) sting operation came together relatively quickly. According to the charging documents filed with the Southern District of New York, a confidential source working for the DEA emailed an associate of Bout in November to arrange for an arms shipment FARC. Using the code words "farming equipment" in the emails, Bout's intermediary allegedly planned for 100 Russian-made Ingla surface-to-air missiles to be air-dropped into FARC territory inside Colombia. After meetings in Curacao, Copenhagen...
