EU blasts Palestinian bid to pass banned chemical off as food aid

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=939844&contrassID=1&subContrassID=1

People say that the Palestinians aren't smuggling things, aren't trying to kill people, so the Israeli security measures aren't justified.

I have a question: if you were in Israel's place, when faced with things like the above story and the general 12 or so suicide bombings a week foiled by the checkpoints and security fence, what would you do to secure your country?

Now I have another question. Why does the BBC, considered a "notable and trustworthy unbiased news source" by many, takes no notice of this story?

Thanks

I know traditionally online is cheaper because of the commission, but I just can't understand why I get such great deals through travel agents.

I visit Myrtle Beach every year and I am finally going to take the plunge and buy a townhouse there. What can you guys tell me about Possum Trot at Crescent Beach? I am interested in knowing about the neighborhood and how safe it is. I know it is north of Barefoot Landing and between Atlantic Beach, which isn't so great and Cherry Grove. I am very excited! I plan to move to the beach.

I moved from New Orleans about one year prior to Katrina and now am wanting to return, but I need to know from other locals, what is the city like? Has it returned to what it was or has it changed too much to recognize? Also, how bad have insurance rates on houses raised? This will be tremendously important when deciding my price range for a new home. Thank you for all your help.

I'm thinking about traveling to LA for Anime Expo 2008, but if I do, I need to plan now & reserve my rooms ASAP. What hotels are close by the convention center? Also, I'm planning on seeing more of the sights while I'm out there. Do I need to have my own car, or is there a good public transportation system out there? The last time I went to LA it was for a school trip & we had our own vans. Even if I don't get to go to AX, I'm still planning on going back out there at some point in time & these things are good to know. I try to take the public transportation when I can, since it saves money (money that I can use towards silly keepsakes & better hotel rooms).

My fiancee and I are trying to think of honeymoon destinations and we're talking about possibly going on a cruise. Neither of us has ever been on one so we don't really know a whole lot about it. Can someone tell us what kind of stuff we would look forward to if we chose to take one for our honeymoon, like the pros and cons of choosing a cruise? What was your personal experience like and would you do it again if given the chance?

I have just been granted Level 2 status and my question is -- if I post questions (costing 5 points each), will I down to Level 1 again if my total points go below 250?

I am just a curious newbie.

I will be a first time traveller to Hong Kong from Melbourne Australia.
Which hotel would be a comfortable and good quality, and near shopping and day trips.
I am not looking for cheapness, but not over the top either. I like to be close to tourist things, rather than off the beaten track.
I have checked out many on the websites, however experiences and recommendations are usually the best way. Thanks in advance to all who can assist.
Happy New Year.

My hubby and I are going to be in Hawaii from 01/17-01/27. We'll be staying at the Hilton Resort in the Waikoloa Village.
It's been 3 years since I've been to the big island and I have a horrible memory. I'm trying to get my bearings before we leave for a change lol
Anyhow... I pulled up Google Earth and I still can't tell. Will we be closer to the congregation on Mamalohoa Hwy near Kona International Airport or to the northward tip on Hawi Road? (or someplace else I missed entirely?)

I'll be going alone, while my husband is in classes and I get lost VERY easily lol, so the straighter the path the better.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'll call the Brothers when we arrive, but I'm trying to plan ahead to ease some anxiety.

Has anyone had any experience going to the port the day of departure and trying to score a really cheap price on a cruise? I have heard of this through the rumor mill, but have not been able to get any details. How about any other ways to get super bargains on cruises?

I've been toying with the idea of bringing my Chinese penpal of 1+ years over for a week's visit. I don't really care about paying for it because its something I really want to do. By the way, it's my idea, not his--he doesn't even know I'm thinking of this yet so don't think he's trying to get a free trip to America out of me.

My question is, how would I go about getting the ticket to him? Would I have to wire the money or just get the ticket put in his name? Also, do websites like Expedia and Travelocity allow you to put a ticket in someone else's name (in this case, my penpal's) despite the fact that I'm paying for it and not him?
