Europe - Hollande says French warship delivery will ‘depend on Russia’s attitude’
@dmatlhoko35 To reward a country that has invaded another, stealing Crimea, (so they didn't have to pay their lease or loose their navy base), causing violence in Kiev, and supplying, training, and providing rebels to destabilize a country so severely that innocent men, women and children are dying due to Russian weapons and intervention is indeed a very good reason to cancel a contract, so a dictator cannot have more weapons to terrorize his neighbors. Maybe you forget the 1950's when the Soviets over ran the Czech Republic, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, the Baltics, and other formerly free countries. But we are not talking French cheese, art, or Peugeots. We are talking about deadly military equipment being given to a dictator who is holding Europe and France hostage with it's gas and oil. What about Russia honoring their signed, sealed, and paid for contract for oil and gas? Russia said they will cut off France in retaliation if French stands up and does the right thing. Contracts with despots do not count and should be revoked. France needs to make the International community stand up and buy these ships for NATO. Not hand them over to a state threatening to turn off the gas and freeze France and Europe in the winter. These contracts are signed in Dutch and Malaysian blood. Hope you can sleep at night.

Americas - Smoker's widow awarded $23 bn in punitive damages in Florida
Hell no!! they should not get a dime, I know a many people whom have never smoked, died of the same causes, as matter of fact I just purchased a classic car from a lady whom is 73, had half of one lung removed because of cancer, never SMOKED! Yet I had a neighbor we called bubba, smoked the fattest cigars he could buy, died at 93, was this smoking to, most males live around 70 if they're lucky, maybe smoking kept him alive. His family should sue for him living so long as a smoker, this would be a first. Guess tobacco companies just needs to call it quits in the US, lay off every worker, file bankruptcy In the US move to china where they can't be sued. Americas going to the dumps, literally, because of this kind of none sense.

Europe - Hollande says French warship delivery will ‘depend on Russia’s attitude’
French President Francois Hollande is a despicable coward. Selling the French soul for 1.1 billion euros to the Russians. He forgets words like honor, liberty, brotherhood, and his friends and partners in the world. Soon Russia will control France with Russian Gas and oil, and France will become a puppet state of Russia. That's ok forget the countries who delivered you from the Nazis and German aggression. WE will boycott all French goods and merchandise. Bye Bye Airbus! Shame on the French watching Russian missiles shoot down women and children and selling them more war machines. Watch out flying over Russia. Your French citizens might be next.

Middle east - Israel identifies ‘missing’ soldier in Gaza
Gaza is Israel's open air prison for Palestinians guilty only of their ethnicity. The racist Jewish state with the world's fourth most powerful military incarcerates them, baits them, and enjoys a near one hundred to one kill ratio. Any retaliation the Palestinians are able to wreak upon their Jewish captors is justifiable and commendable. America giving the Jews any assistance whatsoever for their continuing land theft and ethnic killing is cruel and criminal. With covert aggression and the Sampson Option (German submarines with ICBM nukes pretargeted at world population centers), Eretz Yisrael, and increasing American government influence, the racist Jewish state would have all Goya worldwide become as the Palestinians.

Middle east - Israel identifies ‘missing’ soldier in Gaza
The Jewish State must be forced, by whatever means necessary, to recognize an armed Palestine with externally enforced autonomy, eviction of all settlers, true contiguity encompassing Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem together, neither pinched nor parceled, and pay punitive reparations. American foreign policy may then again serve American interests, not further Israel's tenacious pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and nothing less than a WORLD DOMINATING APARTHEID JEWISH EMPIRE.

France - An ‘explosion of violence’: French press reacts to Gaza protests
I hate violence; in all forms and flavors. It is difficult, though, not to at least empathize with those who are watching from afar, their people dying in what seems to be an impossible to rectify situation. I have to ask, though: Is there EVER a suitable reason for bombing a hospital? In this, and probably every stinking war since the beginning of time; innocent civilians suffer. All I can do is pray that a miracle will happen and the bloodshed will end.

Gaza is not an Israeli problem is a Palestinian problem, Israeli soldiers are not going to risk their lives for this cause! Fatah need to help their own people! Hanan Ashrawi, cup the crap! the 'occupation' is the problem? which occupation? in zone A, in zone B? in Gaza? "HAMAS" is our problem?, it's your problem!, THAT'S a problem! "Fatah" (Fataj) cup the crap! tell the world who is "Hamas", tell the world what "Hamas" is doing to the Palestinian people! Abu Mazen, Mahmoud Abbas, young Israeli soldiers, Gaza children are dying, because of your hypocrisy !!!

If a hospital is being used for an arms depot, then they shouldn't be surprised that it's in play. Hamas wants to run up the Pal. body count as high as possible for their propaganda efforts. They don't give a damn about the Pal people who are suffering as a result of the terrorists firing rockets. Still, if you vote for a terrorist group, then you have no one to blame but yourself when the terror finds you.

Middle east - Egyptian media applauds Israel’s Gaza offensive
While I do hate to see any loss of life it is the end result of teaching children to hate Israeli's from birth. That coupled with Fatah announcing a unity gov't with a terrorist group like Hamas makes both Abbas and Hamas equally responsible for this bloodshed. There is not ONE country on earth that would not react to protect civilians from Hamas's rockets.

Americas - Smoker's widow awarded $23 bn in punitive damages in Florida
Another story noted that the Robinson's lawyer, Willy Gary, said the lawsuit’s goal was to stop tobacco companies from targeting children and young people with their advertising: "If we don’t get a dime, that’s OK, if we can make a difference and save some lives.” Oh sure. If RJR simply promised to stop running cigarette ads during Saturday morning cartoons and in comic books and remove their products from sale in grade school cafeterias I'm *sure* Mr. Gray and the other lawyers would be EXCRUCIATINGLY happy to simply drop the $23 billion in damages and have their work listed as pro bono. Sometimes I have to wonder if today's Antismokers, their lawyers, and their well-paid "activists" have actually succeeded in telling MORE lies than the tobacco companies themselves managed back in the 1950s and 60s.
