a billion people go to bed hungry every night; a billion people have no access to clean water

If this and the bit about children never drinking water were true, wouldn't entire continents be completely devoid of human life? I haven't seen any shortage of people in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or, for that matter, anywhere in the world. Of course, Clinton's words are dutifully reported by the sycophants, and never questioned.

Actress and activist Jane Fonda visits victims ofsuicide bombers (AND AFAFAT'S HEADQUARTERS)

Actress and activist Jane Fonda visited Israelis wounded in suicide bomb attacks and met with Israeli peace activists on Thursday.

Fonda, 64, is on a weeklong trip to the region and plans to attend meetings of Israeli and Palestinian women organized by a global movement to stop violence against women.

The movement, called V-day, was inspired by the off-Broadway hit "The Vagina Monologues" and its playwright, Eve Ensler, who is also in Israel.

Fonda and Ensler were to speak later Thursday to Jewish and Arab doctors and patients at Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital after a performance of selected passages from "Monologues" put on by a group of Israeli women.

Earlier, Fonda, a two-time Oscar winner and fitness guru, visited Israelis recovering from chronic injuries at the hospital's rehabilitation center.

She appeared emotionally moved on meeting Sharon Maman, 23, who suffered brain damage after two suicide bombers blew up simultaneously in downtown Jerusalem on Dec. 1, 2001. The young man, who lay flat on his stomach on a hospital bed, only began speaking again three months ago.

Fonda listened as social workers at the hospital told her that violence against women has increased alongside Israeli-Palestinian battles and a worsening economy that has left many people jobless.

Fonda also met with Israeli activists from the group Peace Now at a Jerusalem restaurant, where a handful of right wing protesters shouted at her that she was betraying Israel by visiting peace activists.

On Saturday, Fonda is to visit the West Bank town of Ramallah to see a physical rehabilitation center, a Palestinian refugee camp and Yasser Arafat's headquarters complex, most of which has been destroyed by Israeli troops.
