We need all of this uranium for peaceful purposes, especially energy, when we are one of the largest petroleum exporters in the world.
This is so true, and it really made me think about how much propaganda is taught these days about Israel!!

Not totally true, throw in Hizbullah and delete Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan. For now… Theyre probably going to join in the fray soon.

Avi Be’eri’s life story could have easily become a successful soap opera. It started with the death of his parents in Guinea, continued with slave traders smuggling him into Israel and through to the IDF officers course, which he is due to complete on Tuesday.
The 21-year old,…

Wow, Hamas, I didn’t know this was possible but you became more horrible.
Holy crap, I just think we found the only way possible to make the Israeli-Palestine conflict even more screwed up. An Italian NGO is alleging that Hamas is kidnapping African refugees who are trying to sneak into Israel and then holding them for ransom.

African rabbi in bid to become first Ugandan Jewish MP
A Ugandan Jew who grew up under the Idi Amin regime is hoping to become the first rabbi serving in a national parliament outside of Israel or Europe.
If Gershom Sizomu is elected he will also be the first Ugandan Jew elected to national office.
The African country goes to the polls in February 2011 and this week Rabbi Sizomu will find out if his application to stand for the parliamentary seat of Bungonkho North, in the city of Mbale, has been accepted by the electoral commission.
He has already received the backing of several Ugandan politicians and the official endorsement of the main opposition party, the Forum for Democratic Change.
Rabbi Sizomu is coming to 92Y in May to talk about the Abayudaya Jews of eastern Uganda. Learn about the history of this unique Jewish community, its daily challenges and its relationships with its Muslim and Christian neighbors.
Well people, I think we’ve found a winner in the hipster Judaism stakes. Black, from a third world country with a traumatic history and a clergyman? That’s like the Heeb magazine trifecta.
