Today's Israel has been more
than patient and forbearing while under
attack, perhaps even too tolerant, and
given their mortal enemies every
opportunity to change their ways. But,
with time, they have only escalated their
deadly hostilities. They have acted as any
nation should - with force against a cruel
and barbaric enemy.

MH17 Air Crash
- Mail On-Line 23 July 2014
The Dutch Safety Board, leading the investigation into the Malaysia
Airlines flight tragedy, said an international team of air crash investigators at the
Hampshire-based Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been able to download
'valid' info from the black box cockpit voice recorder. An AAIB spokesman said
that 'The CVR was damaged
but the memory module was
intact; no evidence of
manipulation of the CVR was
found.'
As the investigations
continued, bodies from the
crash site were arriving in
Netherlands where the
country's King WillemAlexander and Queen Maxima
were taking part in a National
Day of Mourning in Eindhoven
with relatives of the 298 people - including 10 Britons - killed in the disaster.
An unconfirmed number of bodies was released by the rebels yesterday
and taken to the Ukrainian government-controlled city of Kharkiv by train. Two
military aircraft will fly some of them to Eindhoven this afternoon, where they
will be met by the royals, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and relatives. He
says it could take 'weeks or even months' to identify all the victims.
The EU has inched towards introducing economic sanctions against
Vladimir Putin's Russian 'cronies' in response to the passenger jet's downing by
what is believed to have been a surface-to-air missile fired by the separatists that
the Kremlin backs.
