Twilight Zone / Five masked men
In a dirty and neglected room in the surgical department of Rafidiya Hospital in Nablus, an elderly shepherd lies injured, the victim of a vicious attack.
Five masked men assaulted him last week.
They beat him with sticks as he was tending his grazing sheep to the west of his home village of Til.
The five came down from the direction of Havat Gilad, an illegal outpost in the territories, sprayed tear gas in his face and at his companions, and then began hitting them with sticks, drawing blood, while he lay helpless on the ground.
Now the shepherd, Hashem Hamed, has two fractures in his left arm, fractures in his skull, large stitches on his head, in front and back, and is severely traumatized.
This is the country we support with our tax dollars as the only "democracy" in the Middle East.
Take a good, hard look at what this "democracy" means for Palestinians who have had the bad taste to keep breathing.
Cancer patient dies due to the Israeli army siege on Gaza
How can it be that the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have come up with a policy denying basic humanitarian treatment of sick Gazans in such a way as to create their very own "Final Solution" for them?
Mexican trucks allowed into U.S. despite new law to stop them
The Bush administration is going ahead with a controversial pilot program giving Mexican trucks greater access to U.S. highways despite a new law by Congress against it.
The hotly contested program, opposed by labor, independent truck owners and environmental groups, permits up to 500 trucks from 100 Mexican motor carriers full access to U.S. roads.
Can these drivers speak - and read - English?
How well are their trucks maintained, and what are their safety standards, as compared with those applicable to US long-haul
drivers?
Do they actually know the laws about driving on US highways?
Apparently, none of this matters to the current administration.

I can't even fathom the wierd image some people must have of Mexico. This isn't a Speedy Gonzales cartoon or some lame Italian Clint Eastwood movie. Golly geepers. They have speed limits, lines on the highways, traffic lights, pavement, telephones, electric lights, running water, & everything. Oh well... At least the anti-Mexican crowd finally figured out that the "NAFTA superhighway" is just the interstate system & not some special set of dedicated highways being built for Mexican trucks. Geezle...
