Israeli Super Drone Stolen

kristy_christie writes "Globes Online reports that Steadicopter's prototype pilotless helicopter was stolen a few days after the completion of its test program and final test flights. Interesting to note that Steadicopter claims that their helicopter is unique and there is no other of its kind in the world."

Yes, there are racist marriage laws

But the law, voted for a year by a majority of 53 to 25, sent shockwaves through the Israeli left-wing opposition and parties representing the Arab community, which accounts for 18 percent of Israel's population.

"We think this law is a racist law... interfering in the personal lives of people, their right to fall in love with somebody else. This situaiton will not be acceptable," said Jafar Farah, who heads the Haifa-based Mossawa centre for Israeli Arab rights.

According to Mossawa, some 21,000 families will be affected by the measure which targets only the Palestinians and does not apply to marriages between Israelis and any other nationals.

Denying residency on race is racist, pure and simple.

Say what you want about work permits, but residency permits kinds of kills your analogy

Palestinians require permits to continue residing in the closed area

Given the latest Israeli policy on permits, Palestinians residing in this area face an uncertain future. On 2 October 2003, the Israeli Defence Forces issued a number of military orders requiring approximately 13,545 residents in the currently existing 'closed zone' in Jenin, Qalqiliya and Tulkarm districts between the completed Wall and the Green Line to apply for green-coloured permits to remain living in their homes. These permits are valid for up to six months.

These permits have turned a 'right' of Palestinians to live in their own homes into a privilege.

The Wall will further restrict farmers living outside this 'closed zone' from getting to their land within it. Medical staff, business people and international humanitarian organizations also have to apply for special permits. The military orders exempt Israeli citizens and internationals of Jewish descent from these requirements.

"Regardless of how you say it, the "drooling fanatics" are brave"

Are you an idiot? They strap bombs to themselves, walk into resturants, sit by families with kids, then blow themselves up.

That isn't brave, that is murder.
