Israel is the North Korea of the Middle East, with the US its China. Victory to the Palestinians in their struggle against the terrorist state of Israel.

Mining companies are caring sharing people. Really. Take BP and the Gulf of Mexico. Or Woodside and East Timor. Or the Clive Palmers of the world whose wealth increased 19 percent last year. So when they campaign against the resource super profits tax they only have our interests at heart. Really.
