Israel to send experts to Congo

Israel to send experts to Congo



Aug. 7, 2002

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.

Uhmm.. What is it you're smoking, kudzu? Got a little speed mixed with your camel dung this time?

Now, please tell me about the wondrous Saudi culture again. I collect weird stuff, you know ;)).

That reminds me, gotta buy a can of Raid.

Don't forget the roach motels. You'll need a few cases to clean out this infestation.

Yes, finally all of this - leads to Exposure! "...is a NEST full of LIBERAL Jews posing as Conservative Jews!

I see. A newbie plopping down on this thread to harrass long-time Freepers, Jewish and not. Quite an act. A dull one, actually. By the way, anyone can access a Yiddish dictionary online or otherwise.

Heh. Maybe kudzu's bosses have sprung for a copy of the Targumatik 2000 translation software. It's on special offer this month.

I'd come down on him if he were but I just haven't seen it yet. If you do, please point it out to me.

Well, it's like this: if you wade through Mr. Lied's stuff with your eyes (and nose) open, it'll become pretty apparent. Also, Mr. Lied posts on LibertyForum under the nick "Voegelin", and a bit more outspoken (but just a bit) than here. We had a recent thread which got to contain mostly quotes of LarryLied, in order to illustrate his antisemitism. It illustrated antisemitism all right: the thread was pulled for antisemitic content.

Good one.

A typo on my part. It should be Angolagate.Some Keywoord to search on: Angolagate,Falcone,Gaydamak,Leviev,Bush, Arizona Republic. Many conservatives were not pleased with Bush leaving Jonas Savimbi in Angola out to hang. We did support UNITA but maybe he and it was a lost cause.

Well, I haven't heard of Angolagate either. Maybe the farmers of the world should let the hunter-gatherers of the world have their continent.

South African cops are after this guy:

Trials and tribulations of Billy Rautenbach

Billy got his real break when he "found" 400 abandoned vehicles in the desert after the Gulf War. The article above is mild. Billy has been involved in even more stuff.
