#1 interestingly, the Al Arabiya coverage is less anti Israel than that of the BBC (about equal with CNN)

interestingly among the 'peace activists' is Denis Halliday; this fellow was director of of the Oil-for-Food program (also known as the oil for palaces program) in Iraq between the Gulf War and Iraqi Freedom.

The "Oil for Food Program" was run out of the old Canal Hotel in Baghdad as were the UNSCOM Inspection Regimes. The "Oil for Food" people were a seedy, very secretive lot who avoided contact with the UNSCOM crowd and Americans in particular. Most everyone on the teams figured they were dirty, but we didn't know until years that followed just how dirty.

#4 Do people still disbelieve that Israel allows passage of goods through borders with Gaza, but controls flows - as does Egypt on the south - because Hamas made the area a war zone?

#5 Seize the "Rachel Corrie" and either sink or sell it, ships are expensive enough that'll put a huge dent in the screaming anti whalers.
