Khuder Gazali, 36 years old, talked to me, his eyes fixed on mine, almost never blinking -- from the shock, anger, and disbelief. "Last Sunday people came to us and asked us to go help some people who'd lost their legs when their home was bombed by the Israelis," he explained of the events that took place in a small

International Policy In ActionBlaming the victim is the retort of the sickos and the mentally ill: "I couldn't help it, he made me do it".It's a refrain shared by murderers and rapists, the false placing of cause and guilt on the victim as the instigator and person responsible for the crime.In terms of nations, it's the justification for atrocity, war crime and the slaughter of innocents.

Well... who's the biggest wanker in Britain? Nominations please.Given that there is an acute sperm shortage in the UK, thousands of women seeking fertility treatment face remaining childless because of an acute shortage of donors. The shortage results from the Government's change in the law allowing children to contact their biological fathers once they grow up.Maybe the Government should sponsor

What was it Condoleezza Rice said? That "a hasty ceasefire would not be a good thing"?What was Blair's pathetic excuse at the G8 summit? That it was much better to have a ceasefire that would last than one which might break down? Yes, I entirely understand. Blair and his masters - we shall give Rice a generic title to avoid the obvious - regard ceasefires not as a humanitarian step to alleviate

Sir Peter TapsellSir Peter Tapsell, a veteran Tory MP, accused Mr Blair of "collusion" with President Bush in giving Israel the "go-ahead to wage unlimited war for 10 days".He said it was "a war crime gravely reminiscent of the Nazi atrocity on the Jewish quarter of Warsaw".

Rebekah Wade must be wet with excitement and anticipation at the forthcoming "honour" (a dameshipiness, surely) seeing as how she now dictates the Government's crime policy so completely."At LAST we can applaud the Government for seeing sense on crime and punishment.And Sun readers are entitled to much of the credit."

On Tuesday, when at least 35 Lebanese were killed -- possibly many more as no one seems to know who is lying under the rubble or has been incinerated in their fleeing cars -- we had the BBC?s Ben Brown in Beirut giving a blow-by-blow account of every facet of the evacuation of foreign nationals in general and British nationals in particular. If anyone doubted the racism of our Western media,

Tony Blair has accused Iran of supplying weapons to attack UK troops in Iraq, and of giving arms to Hezbollah so it could target Israel. SourceWe, of course, are totally innocent of supplying arms to other countries, illegally or otherwise.In fact, from 1998 to 2001, the USA, the UK, and France earned more income from arms sales to developing countries than they gave in aid.
