Iker Casillas believes England's goalkeepers will be the Three Lions' key weakness at the FIFA World Cup™. The Spain and Real Madrid No1 has questioned the big-match temperament of Robert Green, David James and Joe Hart ahead of the tournament, which gets under way on Friday. None of the England goalkeeping trio featured for their club sides in Europe last season, while both Portsmouth's James and Green of West Ham lined up for teams battling relegation from the Premier League. And Casillas, a key member of Spain's UEFA EURO 2008-winning squad, believes top teams will be able to expose England's frailties in that area. He said: "I can see why both Lionel Messi and Xavi have talked up England's chances at the FIFA World Cup because their class is undisputed. But their goalkeeping situation is a real problem. "None of the keepers have played even European Cup level, that's the highest level you can play at club level. And if you have never played in the top club competition in the world, you are going to find it hard to perform at the top international level in the world when even more eyes are on you. Their goalkeeping situation is a real problem. None of the keepers have played even European Cup level. Iker Casillas on England's goalkeepers "If you look at myself, Gigi Buffon of Italy and Julio Cesar of Brazil, we are keepers who've all won European Championships, World Cups and European Cups. At this level nerves play a big part and any mistake a goalkeeper makes is going to be scrutinised. It's not always about ability at the World Cup, it's about having been there before and knowing how to handle the big games." England coach Fabio Capello has left England's fans guessing as to who his number one will be in South Africa, but Casillas believes he knows who will get the nod. "I don't see that England coach Fabio Capello has any choice but to play Robert Green," he added in quotes reported in Daily Star Sunday. "It doesn't matter if Joe Hart has more natural ability. To throw him into the World Cup with no experience would be crazy and Fabio is far more intelligent than that. He has stuck with Robert Green throughout the qualifying stages and that is the way I am sure it will stay." Despite his obvious reservations about the England squad, Casillas added: "Apart from the keeper situation, England are very strong and I'd put them in the top three favourites, along with us and Brazil."

Israel risked a fresh wave of international condemnation today when its troops boarded a boat attempting to break the blockade of Gaza and forcibly diverted it to the port of Ashdod. Five days after the botched assault on a six-boat flotilla ended in the deaths of nine activists and international isolation for Israel, an unknown number of naval commandos stormed the MV Rachel Corrie in international waters, about 20 miles from the coast of Gaza. Today's operation was mounted despite growing calls for Israel to ease its siege of Gaza significantly. The US, Israel's staunchest ally, said the blockade was "unsustainable and must be changed". Israel said it had met no resistance in stopping the 1,200-ton Rachel Corrie. "They complied with us completely," an Israeli military spokeswoman told the Observer. Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement, the main organisation behind the flotilla, said the passengers and crew had four times refused to accede to Israeli demands to divert to Ashdod voluntarily. "There's no way that 20 people are going to resist a fully armed force," she said. "The fact that Israel boarded a civilian boat in international waters is a violent act." She expected the 11 passengers – including the Nobel peace laureate Máiread Maguire– and nine crew would be treated "with kid gloves: the world is watching". There had been no contact with the boat since early this morning, said Berlin. "Communications are shut down." According to Israeli military accounts, commandos boarded the Rachel Corrie from naval vessels alongside rather than from helicopters, as happened in Monday's operation. They gained control of the boat within minutes. The passengers and crew had already declared their intention not to resist. The boat, carrying medical supplies and construction materials, was being towed into port to Ashdod this afternoon. Israel said it would unload the aid and transfer it to Gaza. However, last week it refused to allow any construction materials from the flotilla into Gaza, claiming they could be used to make weapons and build underground bunkers. The passengers, from Ireland and Malaysia, would be deported immediately, Ygal Palmor, spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry, told the Observer. The Irish passengers would be offered flights from Ben Gurion airport; the Malaysians – whose government has no diplomatic relations with Israel – would be taken by bus to the land border with Jordan. If they refused to comply with summary deportation, they would be taken to a detention centre until their case could be heard by a court, Palmor said. All those deported would be refused entry to Israel for around 10 years, he added. Israel has spent the past five days struggling to contain a diplomatic crisis and public relations catastrophe. Relations with its regional ally Turkey, whose nationals accounted for all those killed on Monday, have sunk to an unprecedented low. Despite strenuous efforts by Israel to ensure the dominance of its version of events, accounts emerging from activists have claimed that Israeli troops fired first on the boat at the centre of the assault, the Marvi Marmara. Israel has claimed a hard core of 40 "jihadis" on board was intent on attacking its troops. Autopsy reports on the dead activists yesterday revealed that some had been shot at close range, and five had gunshot wounds to the head. The US has joined the growing international chorus for the siege of Gaza to be eased. "We are working urgently with Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other international partners to develop new procedures for delivering more goods and assistance to Gaza," said the national security council spokesman Mike Hammer. "The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed." Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has hinted at a limited adjustment in the blockade policy, but aid agencies fear it will a cosmetic change aimed at appeasing international opinion rather than a genuinely relieving of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. full story http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/0...orrie-gaza-ship

The way we're laying into the team before even a ball has been kicked bodes well for the tournament. Keep it up lads.

Looking at it again, Groups G and H look like nightmare groups.

It never ceases to amaze me how Jewish Americans put Israel before America. *Koch

'Rachel Corrie' may arrive by Saturday Activists on board Gaza-bound Irish ship say they will not resist if IDF troops board vessel Aviel Magnezi Published: 06.03.10, 00:58 / Israel News A pro-Palestinian activist on board the Irish vessel 'Rachel Corrie' told Ynet Wednesday that the ship is currently located between Libya and Cyprus, and that it is making its way to Gaza but will not arrive before Saturday morning. The activist said those on board were coming "in peace", and that they would not resist IDF soldiers if they insisted coming on board. The claim was reminiscent of one made by the activists on board the flotilla that arrived Monday. He added that before the ship had embarked it had been searched for weapons, and stressed that there were none on board. The Irish vessel, named after a peace activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer, is reportedly carrying more than 20 people: More than ten Malaysians, five Irish, and eight crew members. "We are not afraid, despite what happened on the Marmara," said Derrick Graham, who is on board with wife Jeanie. "The violence there was a product of fear, I saw the fear in the eyes of the soldiers. You need to send your veteran soldiers, not the young ones." He stressed that the violent turn of events on board the Turkish ship Monday would not affect the Rachel Corrie. "We don't plan on resisting. In the event that your men are stupid enough to come and arrest us, we will sit down and not resist," he said. "It would not be wise for the government of Israel to direct its brutal violence towards us." Graham added that the passengers on board the ship were saddened by the violence on board the Marmara. He said he had participated in a number of voyages to Gaza in the past, and that this was not the general rule. "There were never such problems on sails to Gaza. We object to violence, which is why before we left we searched the ship to make sure there were no guns or weapons of any kind on board. The crew members were also checked by officials," he said. The activist added that the IDF had called to ask him similar questions. When asked whether he knew that the passengers on board the Marmara had firearms, he expressed shock. "These are supposed to be violence-free, weapons-free ships," he said. On board is also Mairead Maguire, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate well-known to Israeli authorities. She was injured at an anti-fence protest in Bil'in in 2008, and has taken part in previous Gaza sails. "I'm not afraid, I think it is important to give Gaza freedom and support it," she said.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8165338.stm Q&A: Israeli Arabs About 20% of Israel's population are of Palestinian Arab descent. Israeli Arabs often complain they are second-class citizens, while some Jewish Israelis fear they form a "fifth column". Israeli Arabs protests against Israeli operation in Gaza Israeli-Arab protests against Israeli military action worry some Who are the Israeli Arabs? About a fifth of Israel's population - roughly 1.45m people - are of Palestinian Arab descent. During the war that surrounded the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Arabs were forced from or fled their homes. Those who remained within what became Israel, and their descendents, have been granted citizenship and are known as Israeli Arabs. In addition there are about 250,000 Arab residents of occupied East Jerusalem. The majority have refused citizenship, so are not described as Israeli Arabs, but still have Israeli residency. About 80% of Israeli Arabs are Muslim, the rest are divided, roughly equally, between Christians and Druze. The majority of Israeli Arabs identify closely with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and often describe themselves as "Palestinian citizens of Israel" and "1948 Palestinians". What is their status in Israel? Israel defines itself as both Jewish and democratic, but some argue it is impossible for it to be both without discriminating against non-Jews. The Israeli government says Israeli Arabs are citizens with equal rights - although their "civic duty" differs as they are exempt from compulsory military service. It points out that Israel's Declaration of Independence promises equality for all. But one Israeli-Arab MP has described Israel as "democratic for Jews and Jewish for Arabs" and Israeli Arabs frequently describe themselves as "second class citizens". The Orr Commission, a government inquiry, concluded in 2003 that "government handling of the Arab sector has been primarily neglectful and discriminatory". And the US state department says Israeli Arabs face "institutional, legal, and societal discrimination". Where do they live? The largest concentration of Israeli Arabs is in the north of Israel, in towns such as Nazareth, Um al-Fahm and Sakhnin. Many also live in mixed cities such as Haifa, Jaffa and Acre. The Israeli state appropriated what the Orr commission described as "vast expanses" of land owned by Arabs who fled or were forced out in the wake of 1948. This and subsequent policies resulted in a "drastic decrease" in the land available to Israeli Arabs, the commission said. Although determining accurate figures is difficult, advocacy groups say Israeli Arabs now live on about 3% of the land in Israel, despite making up about 20% of the population. Since 1948, no new Arab towns - apart from Bedouin townships - have been founded, although the Israeli-Arab population has grown at least sevenfold. Many Arab communities were surrounded by areas used for security purposes, Jewish regional councils, national parks and highways, that prevent or block future expansion, the commission said. According to advocacy groups, some 160,000 Bedouin Arabs live in the Negev in southern Israeli, about half of them in "unrecognised settlements" which are cut off from basic services. Most of the rest live in impoverished towns established by the state. What are Israeli Arabs' living conditions like? More than half of Israeli-Arab families are living in poverty, compared to about 15% of Jewish Israeli families, and the gap is widening. For all but one of the past five years, Israeli-Arab communities have received less than 5% of government development funding each year, according to the Mossawa advocacy centre. Municipal services in many Israeli-Arab communities are inferior to those in Jewish areas, with classrooms shortages, ageing roads and a lack of local employment opportunities. Some Israelis blame lower levels of municipal tax collection in Israeli-Arab areas for the gap. The Mossawa Centre says some Israeli Arabs are unwilling to pay taxes for poor local services, but adds that Israeli-Arab areas tend to have fewer of the factories, businesses and government offices that feed municipal coffers in other areas. The US state department says Israeli Arabs are "underrepresented in most fields of employment". For example, the Mossawa Centre says only 8% of employees in government offices are Israeli-Arab and of 70,000 employees in hi-tech companies only 300 are Arabs. There is no state-funded Arabic language university. Israeli Arabs also miss out on benefits, such as housing and educational subsidies, available to people who have completed national service. The foreign ministry has said that this can outweigh the advantage gained from being able to start higher education earlier than those who serve in the military. Are Jewish and Arab Israelis equal under the law? The Israeli government says yes, Israeli-Arab advocacy groups say no. The Mossawa Centre says at least 20 laws discriminate overtly or tacitly against them. It points out that Israeli Arabs are not classed as an official minority and says Arabic, though an official language, does not have the same status as Hebrew. Muslim and Christian festivals are not national holidays; Jewish ones are. One particularly controversial law is the 2003 Citizenship Law, under which Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza - women under 25 and men under 35 - who marry Israelis are not usually allowed to move to Israel. Palestinians over those ages are granted only temporary residency, not citizenship. Israel says the law is necessary for security; Israeli Arabs say it discriminates as it affects them disproportionately. Another hard-fought area is access to land. About 93% of land in Israel is owned by state or semi-state bodies and is then leased to citizens. Thirteen percent of the land is owned by the Jewish National Fund, which was founded specifically to buy land for a Jewish homeland. Its directors have a powerful role in the state body that controls the other 80% of the land. Israeli Arabs have long complained of difficulties in leasing this land. Three legal cases since 2000 have, however, set precedents with rulings that neither the state nor local residents' committees can block the leasing of land on the basis of race. But MPs have tried to use legislation to overturn the rulings, and advocacy groups say it is still, in practice, difficult for Israeli Arabs to lease much state-controlled land.

"Despite having a rapidly growing population, the government strictly defines Tamra's city limits and expansion outside of those limits is forbidden. Any buildings erected outside the delineated area will invariably be demolished or repossessed by the state. As a result, Tamra has a terribly high population density, with homes pressing upon each other. Moreover, the Israeli state does not provide the city with anywhere close to sufficient funding to provide such a dense population with a modern standard of living. Nathan describes haphazard electric and telephone lines and a poorly maintained and confusing network of roads, which are lined with uncollected garbage. Since Tamra's people are forbidden to expand outwards, they are forced to continually increase their density and expand upwards in crowded tenements. Despite the warmth and friendliness she received from the population, Nathan admitted that the town sometimes felt like "ghetto living," and described a "sense of suffocation." The warmth with which Nathan was greeted in Tamra contrasts sharply with the hostility that Arabs often encounter in Jewish areas. According to Nathan's Arab friends, to visit a city like Tel Aviv is to be a target, identifiable by language and appearance. They feel a profound sense of being unwelcome, and fear encountering overt hostility, or even violence. The Arabs Nathan spoke to cited polls that have been published which indicate that a majority of Israeli Jews want all Arabs expelled from the country. They also mentioned hearing of attacks on Arabs by Israeli youths and racist police officers. The housing crisis and "ghettoization" of Tamra is a familiar facet of life for Arabs in Israel. Across the country, Arabs are refused building permits, so as to strictly define the land area of Arab communities, and preserve land for Jewish farms and settlements. As such, thousands of families build their homes without official permits. Judged to be "illegal" by the government, these homes are subject to demolition. Many families recall police with bulldozers rolling into town at the crack of dawn and tearing down houses, rendering them homeless in an instant. Often these "illegal" homes rest on land that has been inhabited for many generations by the Arab families."

A Society in Crisis “Israeli society is reaching new heights of racism,” said Sami Michael, one of the country’s most celebrated equality advocates and president of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI).26 A growing body of research indicates that racist sentiments are not the preserve of the right-wing fringe but increasingly prevalent across Israeli Jewish society. One particularly disturbing indicator is that the chant “Death to the Arabs” is voiced not just by mobs of right-wingers angered by this or that Palestinian attack. Rather, “in the late 1990s and onwards,” writes Amir Ben-Porat, a professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Ben Gurion University, “‘Death to the Arabs’ became a common chant in almost every football [soccer] stadium in Israel.” Ben-Porat, who authored a study on the use of the chant, says that because of the importance of soccer in Israeli society and its high profile in the media, “This chant is heard far beyond the stadium.”27 In its 2007 Israeli Democracy Index, the Israel Democracy Institute found that 87 percent of all Israeli citizens rated Jewish-Arab relations in the country as being “poor” or “very poor.”28 In addition: • 78 percent of Israeli Jews opposed having Arab parties or ministers join Israel’s government.29 • Just 56 percent of Israeli Jews support full equality for Palestinian citizens of Israel and an identical number agreed that “Arabs cannot attain the Jews’ level of cultural development.”30 • 75 percent of Israeli Jews agreed with the statement that “Arabs are inclined to violent behavior” (as compared with 54 percent of Palestinian citizens of Israel who had an equivalent view of Israeli Jews).31 • 43 percent of Israeli Jews agreed that “Arabs are not intelligent” and 55 percent agreed that “the government should encourage Arab emigration from the country.”32 A recent Haifa University survey found that half of Israeli Jews object to Arabs living in their neighborhoods (56 percent of Arabs supported residential integration with Jews).33 Similarly, ACRI reported that 75 percent of Israeli Jews surveyed said they would not agree to live in the same building as Arabs. The same survey found that more than half of Israeli Jews felt that Arabs and Jews should have separate recreational facilities.34 There are two consistent trends among all these surveys: both Palestinian citizens of Israel and Israeli Jews hold some prejudices towards each other, but on almost every measure, Israeli Jewish views of Arabs are more negative and extreme than Arab views of Jews; second, the negative trends have risen markedly in recent years as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has intensified. Between 2005 and 2006, there was a 26 percent rise in racist incidents targeting Arabs, and the number of Israeli Jews reporting they felt “hatred” towards Arabs doubled to 30 percent.35 While the conflict is undoubtedly the overarching context for these sentiments, an important contributing factor may be the consistently dehumanizing and denigrating stereotypes of Arabs that have for decades been presented to Israeli Jewish schoolchildren in their textbooks and media.36" Not really how you're painting it is it Dan? You come across as very balanced and have taken this thread in a good spirit, but unfortunately racism and discrimination of Arabs living in Israel is rife.

He had that 'out of my depth' look in his little piggy eyes tbs.

When you grow up a bit you'll realise having a few quiet beers is as much fun/relaxing as getting lashed.

my mum is jewish, my dad is catholic. my foreskin remained intact i do have family that live in israel which is why i can see both sides of the story. my family had to flee their home in haifa a few years back when the hizbollah were firing rockets into their town from lebanon. i have family that live in bersheva in the south of israel that live in constant fear that they will be the next victim of a rocket fired over the border from gaza by hamas militants. i think i am sympathetic to both sides. i am contantly getting into arguments with my mother because i'm critical of many of the things israel has done. that much is obvious from what i have posted i think. i have a lot of sympathy for the palestinian people and agree that some of the actions taken since the likud got into power last have been shocking. israel has not done itself any favours in recent years. that's not to say mistakes of the past mean that everything they do is wrong though. i do think the media response to the flotilla has been massively overblown, especially when you look at the evidence. there is clearly a lot of anti-israeli sentiment on this board and there are still a lot of anti-semites in the world, that is obvious. israel is a sovereign state and i believe therefore has the right to exist and defend its borders, regardless of what hamas would like you to believe. most people i know in israel are liberals, want an end to the conflict and favour a two state solution. i'm sure most people in gaza and the west bank feel the same. it is a shame that it is extremists on both sides - the islamic fundamentalists on one side and the right wing orthadox jews in their settlements on the other - that seem determined to stop that happening. it's also worth noting that around 20 per cent of israel's population are arabs that live in peace alongside the jews in a western-style democracy. i think it's a real shame there aren't more modern progressive states like israel in the middle east. Historically solutions only come when the superior power wants it.

The BBC are scum sucking pack of weasel cowards and shitheels when it comes to Israel.

Having a Jewish mother means Dan has a right of return to Israel iirc.
