US To Give Israel $30 Billion in Military Aid BBC Newshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_ea st/6948981.stmUS Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns has signed a deal that will provide Israel with $30 billion of military aid over the next ten years. The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has said the aid will preserve his country's military advantage over other countries in the Middle East. The new military aid package represents a 25 percent increase from present levels. The US announced multi-billion-dollar arms deals with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Gulf states last month. Washington says it wants to help its allies in the Middle East meet their security needs and counter the growing power of Iran in the region.

Analysis: New US-Israeli Arms Deal Jonathan Marcus - BBC Newshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6949904. stmThis new agreement sets increased levels of US military aid for Israel over the coming decade. In broad terms, Israel will receive a total of some $30 billion in military aid, a significant increase over $24 billion it received over the past ten years. This is welcome news for Israel...

No Strings Attached to New US Defense Package for Israel Haaretz (Israel) http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/894644.ht mlThe new $30 billion American defense package for Israel is not conditioned on diplomatic progress or concessions to the Palestinians, a top U.S. aide said Thursday as representatives from both countries signed the memorandum of understanding in Jerusalem.

U.S. Highways Badly in Need of Repair MSNBChttp:// www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20095291/The U.S. highway system is broken. And it's not clear where the money is going to come from to fix it. Amid a steady rise in congestion and ongoing deterioration of decades-old roads and bridges, federal and state funding is failing to keep up with the need to maintain existing infrastructure and increase capacity. And the cash shortfall is only going to get worse, with the Federal Highway Trust Fund - supported by a tax on gasoline - projected to run dry in 2009.

Sunic's New Book, Homo Americanus: A Review Paul Gottfriedhttp://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/homo_ americanusA polyglot Croatian scholar, Tomislav Sunic, provides in his newest book, Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age, reasons that a good European should distrust the US... Sunic gives the proper reasons that Europeans should despise us, namely, because we are hostile to European national identities, because we have contributed to bringing to Central Europe Frankfurt School brain-laundering and last but not least, because we try to substitute for concrete historical traditions such notions as propositional nationhood and the ideology of human rights.

Diversity May Not Be The Answer Gregory Rodriguez -- Los Angeles Timeshttp://www.miamiherald.com/851/story/207371.ht ml... You've heard the rap: Diversity is our strength. We should celebrate it, blah, blah, blah. ... But according to a provocative new study by Robert Putnam, one of America's preeminent political scientists, it's just not true. ... Diversity, he argues, is turning us into a nation of turtles, hunkered down with our heads in our shells. According to the study, there is a strong positive relationship between interracial trust and ethnic homogeneity. In other words, the less diverse your community, the more likely you are to trust the people in it who are different from you. The flip side is also true: The more ethnically diverse the people you live around, the less you trust them.

Congress Considers Federal Funds for 'Holocaust Education' The Jewish Advocate (Boston)http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/article .php?pg=3&ar=97With more than 62 years having passed since the Shoah, local and state lawmakers are working to give Holocaust education a boost. Currently being reviewed by committees in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, the Simon Wiesenthal Holocaust Education Assistance Act - if passed - would provide select organizations nationwide with competitive grants to be used to develop Holocaust curriculum guides as well as training for teachers. The act would distribute $10 million - $2 million yearly for five years - in federal funding to establish these programs ...

Holocaust Remembrance: What's Behind the Campaign? Mark Weberhttp://www.ihr.org/leaflets/holocaust_remem brance.shtml... Holocaust remembrance is not, as its supporters claim, a noble effort motivated by sincere concern for humanity. Instead, this relentless campaign is an expression of Jewish-Zionist power, and is designed to further Jewish-Zionist interests... The Holocaust remembrance campaign reflects an arrogant view of Jews as a special and superior people... Jewish death and suffering do not deserve to be venerated more than the death and suffering of non-Jews. The Holocaust remembrance campaign deserves scorn, not support, because it is a one-sided effort that serves narrow Jewish and Israeli interests and bolsters Jewish-Zionist power.

Doubts Emerge About 'Inspiring' Holocaust Story The Associated Presshttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070819/ ap_on_re_eu/ukraine_holocaust_tale_2;_ylt=AujiQzl6.x 3enNAAnsVuAGwF1vAI It is a story of courage and kindness during the first tragic days of the Holocaust in Ukraine - the tale of how a village rose up against an anti-Semitic gang of killers to save its Jewish neighbors.

And a leading Holocaust expert says that most of the Jews of Ispas were killed by fellow villagers. (gee we all wonder why)
