Hamastan is a State supported financially by the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has found in Hamas an ideal instrument with which to extend its influence to the south of Israel. Hence there is a generous influx of Iranian weapons and rockets into the Gaza Strip, often passing through Egyptian soil through a labyrinth of tunnels to evade surveillance on either side of the border.

More than 200,000 Germans turned out in Berlin on July 24 to hear a carefully stage-managed Barack Obama tell them exactly what they wanted to hear: If he becomes US president, America will become a whole lot more like Europe.

While Colombians and other freedom-loving peoples around the world were celebrating the spectacular July 2 rescue of 15 hostages held in the jungle by the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), many Europeans were incredulous.

Spain has been reeling from the collapse of a housing bubble that for the last 15 years has enabled the notoriously uncompetitive economy to post some of the highest growth rates in the European Union. The Spanish Banking Association says that Spanish growth will probably be negative in 2008. By comparison, the Spanish economy grew by 3.8 percent in 2007.

Abdicating does not suppose winning the affection of the Socialist Party or its allies in the media – that will only earn their scorn. How are those media outlets going to reject this new turn imposed by Rajoy when it is precisely what they have been after for years? They will cheer wholeheartedly for the Right’s dereliction of its own creed just when it was about to overcome and its opponents were being left impotent to face the debacle. Download PDF

While Spanish Socialists have, according to critics, been busy reducing individual freedoms, disdaining life and attacking the family, the Spanish parliament on 25 June voted to extend human rights to apes. In yet another indication of the death of common sense in post-modern Spain, the new resolutions have cross-party majority support and are expected to become law within a year. The only remaining questions are: Will monkeys be allowed to vote in the 2012 general elections? And if so, will they vote for Zapatero or for Rajoy?

Europe is much more affected by the Iranian nuclear threat than the United States. Iran’s missiles, which will be equipped with nuclear warheads shortly, will easily reach European soil, and, when time goes by, they will reach more and more areas.

Ireland was the only country to submit the “Reform Treaty” to a popular vote; all other member states of the EU intend to ratify the document through parliamentary procedures. Although by EU law the Irish vote (53.4 percent said ‘No’ and 46.6 percent said ‘Yes’) should kill the treaty (because it requires unanimous approval to come into effect), European politicians will almost certainly find a way to keep it alive.

If Syria is serious, it might as well start closing the offices Hamas has in Damascus, put a stop to all the aid which is being provided to the guerrillas in Iraq and condemn the killing of their opponents in Lebanon. Otherwise, any treaty would just vanish into thin air. Download PDF Descargar PDF

Israel is currently celebrating the 60th Anniversary of its creation. It has not had an easy existence, far from it, and the fact that it still exists today is in itself a cause for celebration. Israel has progressed greatly since its birth in 1948 following a UN resolution. Nowadays it is a global economic power even though it is insignificant in geographical terms, minuscule in terms of population and has no oil or other natural resources. Israel’s prosperity is a miracle that is down to the tenacity, perseverance and imagination of the Jewish people. Download PDF
