These "Agreements" with Israel do not need to be reevaluated. Israel has never fully committed to them and has only paid lip service to the process of reaching an agreement with the Palestinians. The illegal Israeli settlements continue to be built, new sections of the occupied territories  are grabbed for new settlements and outpost, the evil inhuman blockade of Gaza continues, the terrorism of the IOF continue in Palestinian towns and villages, crops and water systems are destroyed by settlers protected by the IOF, homes and children's playgrounds are demolished in East Jerusalem more arrests are made under the Administrative Detention provisions. No. The Agreements do not need to be reevaluated. They need to be ripped up into thousands of pieces and thrown to the wind.

Israel will not last for ever in its present form.

More hand wringing and jumping up and down to apologise to the Israeli's for making a comment on a matter of public interest. As it happens, I think that she was right. Israel will not last for ever in its present form. The sooner politicians and in many cases the media get rid of their collective guilty conscience with regard to Israel and recognise the reality of what is happening in the Middle East, the sooner Israel will recognise that they are wrong in their actions and attitude. The world does not owe them a living.Their treatment of Palestinians and their barbaric blockade of Gaza is criminal. Israel will not last for ever in its present form and the sooner it changes the better.

Harriet, you are wrong.

No Harriet, you are wrong. The Olympics are important only to business interests, corporate hospitality industry and the media.The largest part of the people in this country will only see the extravaganza, the excesses and waste. They will see the costs, rising everyday, being funded from government coffers while more cuts in services, pensions, salaries and jobs are imposed, as the  "Because We can't afford it" argument is trotted out of Whitehall. At the same time, rising prices will rise even faster as real incomes fall. We, the British people will be paying for this Olympic madness for years as every other host nation has found to their long term costs.
