Canadian Jewish Groups In Uproar Over "Apartheid Week" (Feb 01 2005 01:13 GMT) - The Globe & Mail reports,An event organized by the Arab Student Collective at the University of Toronto, to debate what it calls the Israeli apartheid state, is raising the ire of religious and human-rights organizations throughout the city. Israeli Apartheid Week, is scheduled to begin today and has been organized by the collective, a recognized club at U of T. [...] Groups including B'nai Brith Canada and the Evangelical Association of Canada have publicly condemned the University's decision to permit the event, saying that it will incite hatred against Jewish students on campus.I dunno, after having been here for a little while, I think you'd have to be blind to think Israel is anything other than an apartheid state, and after hearing Jeff Halper and Tamer Nafar speak recently, I'm pretty much convinced it is. |

Is there a future for European Jewry? (Feb 01 2005 01:11 GMT) - The Detroit Free Press reports,On Thursday, world leaders -- a king and queen, presidents and prime ministers -- gathered in Poland to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, where 1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered. But as the world focused on the past, an increasing number of European Jews are concerned -- to quote Sammy Ghozlan, a retired Calais police chief who now investigates anti-Semitic crimes -- that "after decades of peace, the old taboos against anti-Semitism are broken. There is no future here for a Jew."Full story. |

Mini micros pricing options (Feb 01 2005 01:11 GMT) - TidBITS (#764/31-Jan-05) reports, or passes along, news that Apple has reconfigured the "auto-gouge" feature the product shipped with initially in build-to-order configs at the online Apple Store: The 1 GB memory upgrade was originally a fairly ridiculous $475 when name-brand 1 GB cards of the same type can be found in the mid-$200s. The price now is $325, which is low enough that it's more reasonable to have an Apple-certified technician perform the installation - especially when you consider that Apple will warranty that RAM and replace it if you have problems. (Self-installed RAM is your own problem, a problem that bit me with my PowerBook G4 and Panther.) The wireless combination of Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme is now $100 instead of $130 when installed together. |
