Israel’s back is against the wall. To the south it faces Iran-backed Gaza, a terrorist state dedicated to Israel’s destruction. To the north lies Iran-backed Lebanese territory, equally bent on Israel’s destruction. About 1000 kilometres to the east lies Iran, itself, which will soon have a nuclear bomb and the delivery system needed to detonate it 600 metres above Tel Aviv – the height at which an exploding nuclear bomb best incinerates a populace.

Ice in the Arctic on the Rise?

Paying Respect to Longshoremen
(May 5, 2009) The New Brunswick longshoremen who blockaded the shipment of heavy water to Argentina’s military government thirty years ago were given a celebration at Saint John’s City Hall last week.
