POPSNBC Olympics Web Site Awards West Bank to “Palestine”
Today's Reuters story about Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's peace offer to the Palestinians gets wrong the basic history of Palestine. Under the proposal, Israel would return to the Palestinians some 92.7 percent of the occupied West Bank, plus all of the Gaza Strip In fact, it is impossible to "return" West Bank land to the Palestinians, as they never were the sovereigns of this territory. http://blog.camera.org/archives/2008/08/updated_reuters_rewrites_ruler.html Before 1967, when the West Bank came into Israeli hands, the territory was ruled (and annexed) by Jordan. Prior to that, it was under British rule. Before that, it was Ottoman territory. The Egyptians ruled for some time, as did the Mamluks, the Crusaders, Arab Caliphs, and a number of other ancient empires. But the Palestinians are not on this list. So while the West Bank could technically "return" to Jordanian or British sovereignty, it could not, however, return to Palestinian sovereignty.

POPS"Tropic Thunder" Comedy Mocks Hollywood And Movie-Makers To save the movie, director Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) decides to shoot it documentary-style, with his actors improvising in the jungle. But that idea also goes awry, and the gun-toting actors find themselves up against a drug lord and his minions' real guns. The premise is amusing, though the actual plotting doesn't always make sense, especially when the actors have to face the real-life villains. And as it goes along, the pleasure is not so much from character development as a series of set pieces, such as African-American Chino's view of Lazarus' vision of an African-American, or Grossman's attempts at crisis management. Indeed, Cruise may be the funniest thing in the movie, although he gets competition, notably from Downey and from Jay Baruchel as Kevin Sandusky, the non-star in the acting ensemble. And movie buffs will have fun picking up on the allusions to other films, especially Apocalypse Now. http://www.tropicthunder.com/home.html

POPSLong Tan awards 'right' for vets: PM I didn't agree with the Vietnam War, but have been saddened by the response to the Vets. Even shunned by Returned and Services League. They have had to fight for recognition and acceptance. This will help.

POPSKiarostami - the godfather of Iranian cinema Looking at Tazieh clearly invites westerners to step into Iranians' shoes. "Of course, I feel pain when I see that my country is considered evil," he says. "So in all my films, my wish is to give a kinder and a warmer image of human beings and of my country. Every morning, when I wake up, I have to say hello to my neighbours. And this is what I like to show in my films: friendship, love between people".

POPSHello? New laws alone can't beat back risks of cell phone use Put a cell phone to your ear while driving and be prepared for a siren call -- from the police or paramedics. Keep your head down while walking and texting, texting, texting, text ... and oops ... "Emergency Room" may be your next subject line. And if you have kids, don't forget to keep worrying if electromagnetic radiation swirling from their ever-present cell phones will one day call up cancer cells. The risks of keeping in touch dominated health news the past week, leaving me feeling rather queasy. Facts and mandates on cell-phone use across the U.S. were catching up to the creeping, creepy feeling I've had about our societal disease -- call it 24/7 communicatosim. Emergency room docs reported an upsurge in people coming with injuries (and not just sore thumbs) from walking into, or falling into and over, various objects while walking and texting --- things like cars, curbs, signs, bicyclists, buildings and buses.
