Ahem, excuse me, but most people believe that was an asprin factory in Sudan. I seem to recall the U.S. is currently being sued over it. Although I regret this for America, I hope Clinton is found guilty.
LOL! They clapped. Big whoopee.
He so sad and irrelevant. Does he know that Blair does't love him anymore?
A four-bagger I think.
Well it may not be a total waste.
But ole Marcus Reines sure seems to don't he.
They were probably recruited by the Soviets at the same time at Oxford.
Any FreePers out there who wants to start a new thread entitled, "Ten Ways to Silence Slick"?
When will this piece of garbage realize that he is as irrelevant as Yassar Arrafat?
JERUSALEM (March 19) - A year-long rift between the London office of the Jewish National Fund and its parent organization in Jerusalem has led to the British branch breaking away.
In a letter faxed Wednesday from London to JNF world chairman Shlomo Gravetz, JNF-UK president Gail Seal charged that Jerusalem was trying to run the UK operation, and even shut it down.
"This will have consequences well beyond those affecting our respective organizations and may affect the charitable status of other Israel-oriented charities in the UK," she wrote.
Seal said the situation was one which she and her board "are no longer prepared to tolerate and with deep regret I must advise you that we are, with immediate effect, formalizing the steps we have already taken to fund-raise for Israel through other avenues."
This move highlights a divide between Israel and Diaspora Jewry, with more communities not donating to mainstream organizations.
JNF-UK, which has been a contributor to the JNF for the last 90 of the organization's 98 years, is Britain's third-largest Jewish charity, having raised $8 million last year.
JNF has been the organization through which world Jewry acquired land in Palestine since the turn of the century and still owns some 17 percent of Israel's land.
Gravetz yesterday denied the UK branch's accusations, saying JNF-UK "has been trying to alter the relationship between the office in London and the office in Israel, that gives preference to the office in London. It was trying to transfer the center of power to London."
This, he said in a statement, was something "that the JNF will not agree to in any way, that there will be any other center than the JNF in Jerusalem. Any attempt to transfer the center to another country points to an attempt at political manipulations that is unacceptable."
The dispute between the parent organization and its affiliate began last year, with a dispute over emissaries sent by the JNF to London. JNF-UK charged that two of the three emissaries were operating in a way "detrimental to our ongoing day-to-day operation in the UK. Despite numerous requests over the years to persuade Jewish National Fund to recall those emissaries, we found ourselves in the unparalleled position of having to take unilateral action to safeguard the JNF database and other confidential information."
In January, JNF-UK barred the two Israeli representatives from entering its London office. The JNF has demanded an apology.
Thanks. I needed that....
Ever read Lucky Bastard, postulates just that scenario and continues to worse, all too close to reality
As for naming a reservoir after him: I thought they already named that sea over there about Him. Whatis it again?
That would be the DEAD sea. as in, incapable of supporting life.
Reminds me of how he tried to "save the Constitution" by not resigning and fighting his impeachment. (did a little bombing then too, as I recall) What a sick man.
