Viva, Viva Palestina

So I am getting more and more upset as this conflict goes on. I'm not sure that this is going to end any time soon either. Check out what the expected winner of next month's election in Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, said about this issue. He is more radical than Olmert, which is a scary thought. At least Olmert has been holding talks with Syria about returning the Golan heights, which were taken by Israel in the 1973 October war.

I was working all day to organize a panel discussion on the conflict, but it looks like that just isn't happening. Most professors seemed reluctant to speak, some said that they were just too busy despite their vested interest in the subject. One guy said that he spoke at a similar event at his old school and said some things against Israel. He was fired because the President of the university was a zionist, so he doesn't do public lectures anymore. The person that really irked me was a Jewish professor that told me that she didn't want to participate because the panel might be anti-Israel. I said that if she acted like that then the panel was bound to be pro-Palestinian, and she practically kicked me out of her office.

In other news, Bernake is actually asking for more money. Somebody needs to shut that fool up before he steals ALL of the money in the treasury (or not in the treasury). Also, Obama is working to get approval for his $700 billion bailout, which in all fairness is going to be more geared toward tax breaks than anything else, but still isn't going to fix the situation. The fed cut the interest rate to 0-.25% which is astounding. "In a speech in London Tuesday morning, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke defended the Fed's series of rate cuts since September 2007, saying that inflation was no longer a major concern." No longer a maor concern?! Maybe to his rich ass.

I don't know what to say, you all know the situation. This fed cut is a huge indicator that they are out of options to stall the collapse.
