    Thanks vza. Interesting article which I'll post later. I'll have to go out and buy a monitor. The one I have, although rather new has just been "grilled", literally judging from the smell.

    It's such a beautiful film, so original, honest, and human! Thanks tgia! It certainly deserves all those awards and more. btw I'm sad for that driver, I hope the problem of traffic congestion will be fixed soon.

    Warranty expired not long time ago. A friend is going to give me one tomorrow. Sigh of relief.

    Too much!



    <span>HaYovel is one of many groups in the United States using tax-exempt donations to help Jews establish permanence in the Israeli-occupied territories — effectively obstructing the creation of a Palestinian state, widely seen as a necessary condition for Middle East peace.  
    The result is a surprising juxtaposition: As the American government seeks to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the American Treasury helps sustain the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them.  
    A New York Times examination of public records in the United States and Israel identified at least 40 American groups that have collected more than $200 million in tax-deductible gifts for Jewish settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem over the last decade. The money goes mostly to schools, synagogues, recreation centers and the like, legitimate expenditures under the tax law. But it has also paid for more legally questionable commodities: housing as well as guard dogs, bulletproof vests, rifle scopes and vehicles to secure outposts deep in occupied areas.
