A Good Excuse to End a Bad Relationship

Israel could see what was coming. Before the convoy set sail, Israeli leaders pleaded with Turkish officials to stop it; they offered to allow the supplies to be delivered through an Israeli checkpoint. But Erdoğan’s government let it go anyway. Thus, Israel had no choice but to intervene directly. And those on the boat made sure it turned violent.

Now, Turkey is milking the event for all it’s worth. It accused Israel of state-sponsored terrorism. It compared the psychological impact of the incident on Turks to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Americans. Turkish President Abdullah Gül called the Israeli raid a crime against humanity and said Israeli-Turkish relations will never be the same. Erdoğan labeled it a massacre. Turkish armed forces announced several cutbacks in cooperation with Israeli forces. The government also offered to supply Turkish naval protection for the next “aid” convoy to Gaza; “This would be, in effect, an act of war,” wrote Mark Steyn, “—more to the point, an act of war by a nato member against the State of Israel.”

What do the Swedish Gaza activists hope to achieve?

.....Who actually profited from what happened? Well, most analysts agree that the biggest beneficiaries are the radical Islamists of the Middle East, notably Hamas, the terrorist organization which currently rules Gaza. Hamas won a major PR victory and gained valuable international legitimacy at the expense of moderate Palestinians and the Fatah leadership of the West Bank. Politically this is a boost for those Palestinians who object to peace negotiations with Israel, and prefer the more violent path of jihad, the so-called holy war against Israel and the non-Muslim world.

In Turkey, Islamist extremists are milking the incident to win easy points against secular and modernising forces. Iran is delighted that the world’s attention is being diverted away from its nuclear programme and arms deals with Hezbollah and Syria. As so often before in the Middle-East, the rhetoric of peace and freedom becomes a tool to strengthen despotic, terror-sponsoring regimes which scoff at both. This happened largely because, as Israeli author David Grossman put it, Israel acted like a puppet on strings pulled by a small fanatical Turkish organization......

Hizbullah: Israel's gas belongs to us

Marine law expert Adv. Amir Cohen-Dor: The Dalit and Tamar gas fields are within Israel's economic zone.

Adi Ben-Israel and Uzi Blumer14 Jun 10 17:41

Hizbullah claims that that the natural gas fields recently discovered in the Mediterranean, belong to Lebanon and warned Israel against extracting gas from them. Iranian English language paper "Tehran Times" quotes Hezbollah's executive council chief Hashem Safieddine as saying that it would not allow Israel to loot Lebanese gas resources.

Earlier this week, Lebanese parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri told "AFP", “Israel is racing to make the case a fait accompli and was quick to present itself as an oil emirate, ignoring the fact that, according to the maps, the deposit extends into Lebanese waters. Lebanon must take immediate action to defend its financial, political, economic and sovereign rights."

'Maze' teaches firefighters to navigate every which way, builds confidence

'Maze' teaches firefighters to navigate every which way, builds confidence

PORTSMOUTH — With forty pounds of equipment strapped to their back, a face mask and nothing but a flash light, Port City firefighters crawled, crammed and twisted their way through a three-level maze as part of the department's continued training regiment.

Owned by the state, "The Maze" has 130 feet of challenging crawl space including five manholes, five pass throughs, four horizontal, four vertical, and four diagonal obstacles. It also includes a crawling pipe to simulate a sewer pipe/tunnel operation.

Also attached to the large trailerlike training module is a control room that allows for training officers to watch their fellow firefighters navigate through the dark maze using infrared cameras. The control room includes a control station with an intercom system with the main unit in the control room and two intercom stations in the maze area.

Asst. Fire Chief Steve Achilles said the training is all about improving a firefighter's "confidence, teamwork and knowledge."

In groups of two, the firefighters don their air packs and safety gear, climb to the roof the trailer and slowly lower themselves into the dark maze below.

By pairing up firefighters and allowing them to utilize only a flashlight, Achilles said it will strengthen their communication skills and their ability to work in confined spaces.

"It builds confidence and gets you familiar with your air pack and air consumption rate," Achilles said.

The training module is also used for new firefighters fresh out of the Fire Academy.

"New recruits get put through this and it really is a telltale sign if you're claustrophobic," he added.

Fresh out of winding his way through the dark gauntlet and only slightly out of breath, Capt. Tim Collins said the exercise is a good way of exposing firefighters to situations involving something other than fighting fire.

"It's not the same as a fire by any means, but it gets you situational awareness with your gear on," Collins said.

The fire captain said he considered the training to be a good exercise and most importantly a confidence builder.
