The Tide Has Changed
samedi 20 février 2010
London is ‘angry’ over the use of stolen identities by the Dubai assassins and points its finger at the Jewish state and its notorious Mossad espionage agency. The Israeli ambassador to Britain, Ron Prosor, was summoned yesterday by the foreign minister to “share information”. In practice Britain has stopped short of accusing Israel of involvement in the scandalous assassination, however to signal its displeasure the Foreign Office ignored an Israeli plea to keep the summons secret.

Ahmadinejad : “Read My Lips”
mardi 21 avril 2009

Assez souvent, les Israéliens en viennent à des arguments d’un genre bizarre qui ont tout leur sens dans le discours israélien, mais sont dénués de toute signification hors la rue juive. Un de ces arguments est le suivant : ’ces Palestiniens, pourquoi insistent-ils pour vivre sur notre terre (Israël), pourquoi ne s’installent-ils pas tout (...) suite
