Israel has pledged to send a delegation of agricultural and industrial experts to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to assess the war-torn African country's needs and explore how Israel can help it rebuild, Israeli officials said yesterday. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres made the pledge during a meeting in Jerusalem yesterday with Congolese Foreign Minister Leonard She Okitundu. Peres briefed Okitundu on the nascent Israeli-Palestinian security contacts. He said there is no justification for Palestinian terror and that Israel does not lack a peace plan, but rather a peace partner. Peres also stressed the need to provide a "political horizon" to the Palestinians and to improve the humanitarian situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Okitundu explained how Rwanda and Congo reached a peace agreement last month aimed at ending a devastating war in which up to two million people have died. Israel's offer came a day after the World Bank approved more than $450 million in aid for Congo. Israel has in the past provided military aid and training to various African forces and commando units, including units of the army of Zaire, as Congo was previously known. |
Rotfl. Bought yourself a dictionary, did you? Don't bother, it doesn't change the writing pattern, the behaviour pattern, or any of the other variables you're identifiable by :)).
And you know better than to be throwing (purportedly) Jewish terms at me: I'm not Jewish. Just as you're not.
Now, tell me about Saudi hi-tech inventions. Gore-tex Camel Covers?
I don't think so. Dictionaries contain definitions.
Uh-huh, and I'm the Viceroy of India.
Good idea. You can be Viceroy this month, then I can be Viceroy next month. Or perhaps during Christmas. Do Viceroys collect tons of xmas-presents?
Better than that, we collect crores of rupees worth of Indian wisdom. Take, for example, the matter of reincarnation ....
I think maybe you've misread something - there's a Captain Klutz, courtesy of Don Martin. Obviously you scavenged American bases as a kid in search of mental stimulus outside of that dreary Koran thing.
I mean, your Saudi compatriots aren't too fond of actual reading matter, are they? Not a schred of culture in the place ;).
Yes, that is an interesting field. I wonder when Kudzu will have collected enough terribly bad karma to be reincarnated as an insect.
That reminds me, gotta buy a can of Raid.
