POPSControl Arms Campaign Pipedream. Until you change the attitude of all those people who want to rule other people, or to kill other people for whatever reason, not one treaty will ever work. I would love to live in a world where guns would never be used against another person. But, as I said, it’s a pipedream.

POPSMillions in Nepal facing hunger as climate changes Oxfam recommended in its report that the government and international organizations intervene to ease food shortages in hill and mountain districts and provide assistance during the upcoming planting season. The government should encourage farmers to try new crop varieties and improve water management, and it should integrate climate change strategies into government planning. Ang Dawa, a member of a parliamentary committee tackling climate change, said its effects were already prevalent in Nepal, especially in the mountainous north. She said her village in the foothills of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, was covered in several feet (dozens of centimeters) of snow during the winter when she was a child, but now there is hardly any snow.

POPSEuropean anti Semite gets Presidential Medal of Freedom Mary was in charge of the infamous Durban I so-called anti racism conference, which turned into an anti Semitic festival. When she was replaced as UNHRC, Richard Holbrooke (today one of Obama's most senior diplomats) commented, "I think Sergio is much better than Mary Robinson. I think she overly politicized the job." But wait. There's more: The trouble starts with Robinson's tenure as president of Ireland. During the last four years of Robinson's tenure, the European Union donated large sums of money to the Palestinian Authority. Ireland even held the presidency of the European Union for the second half of 1996. During this time, Arafat siphoned large amounts of European aid money away to pay for terror. Robinson can plead ignorance, but documents seized during the recent Israeli incursion into the West Bank revealed that the Palestinian Authority spent approximately $9 million of European Union aid money

POPSBBC advisor QUITS over Gaza appeal "I strongly wish to register my view that by justifying the decision to block the Gaza appeal on the ground of impartiality, the BBC's director-general has done greater reputational harm by implying that the DEC has not been objective in this case," reads his letter. Alam, a former vice-chair of aid organization War on Want, also said that he knew of at least one other committee member who was thinking about resigning over the decision. Despite the BBC refusal, the aid appeal raised more than £4 million for the besieged Gazans.

POPSDisgraceful BBC Blockage on Gaza Aid Appeal The BBC is wonderful. This clip is from the BBC. But who on earth is it in there who, over the past few years, has made the most atrocious decisions such as this which are totally at odds with the interests of the British public, and, in this case with all three main political parties?

The situation is developing on the ground and I understand that Oxfam, Save the Children and others have been able to get some aid into Gaza today."

POPSMita nalkaa ihmiset nakevat? Suurin nälkä ei ole suinkaan vatsan leivän perään, vaan ystävien jotka osaavat lohduttaa ja antaa toivon näköaloja. Jokainen ihminen kaipaa Luojansa yhteyteen, haluun saada sydämmeensä kestävä rauha tämän rauhattoman ajan keskellä. Tätä rauhaa, elämän tarkoituksen löytämistä ihminen voi yrittää tukahduttaa ajan iloilla ja turhuuksilla, mutta kestävää rauhaa sydän ei näistä saa. Ihmisen tulee ensin etsiä Jumalan Valtakuntaa, jonka löytäminen tuo ihmisen sydämmeen kestävän rauhan. Tämän ohessa kaikki muut tarpeelliset on ihmiselle luvattu antaa.
