The book acts less of the war, or of the question, how seriously the military threat of Israel was in May 1967 actual. Primarily Segev wrote over Israel: Over the motives of the acting participants in politics and military, above all however over the tendency in the country and the reasons for it, why the Israeli society reacted in such a way to the threat, as it reacted.
On the basis of archives materials, diaries, letters and interviews Segev draws collageartig the picture of a deeply depressive tendency in the months before the war, which changes in the course of the overwhelming military victory to euphoria and over courage. From this stress ratio it finally leads the crucial steps off the decision to the preventive military strike and for the occupation of large regions Arab neighbour states.

Franz has it thereby as deserter and German particularly heavily and of Polina as its mute brother is spent.
Times the two must flee before the Germans, adjust themselves then again before the Russian partisans. Making more difficult it is added that Polina answers on the one hand the strong feelings of Franz, but not forgotten can the fact that the German fascists villages burn and kills the inhabitants indiscriminately.

In the love and in the war (against the terror)…
Sunk in thoughts I schlurfe toward exit of the supermarket, ask me exerted, what to hell I could probably write into the introduction of my master work. The supermarket employee, who normally guards the trolleys, disappeared. As I rausgucke, see I him with two police officers of the RATP (that Paris suburban traffic) before the door. I step from the exit and get tangled in red-white separation volume.
Wildly fuchtelnd and inclined grinsend Mister safety man hops thereupon on me to and directs me on the other roadside. When I look at it confused, he spits out: “Those chase directly an abandoned backpack up in the bus! They must make a large elbow around the bus.” Before my internal eye I, as the bus goes à la to “speed” in a large explosion into air, see look me instinktiv after Keanu Reeves over, which will save the situation.

Cancer in China, war against Iran and gas price increases by Gazprom - citizen journalism world-wide
The illness, in particular cancer of the lungs, struck many people, in an extent, which the author for the future of the country lets in the last years precariously be afraid. Chinese would concern a fifth of all world-wide cancer illnesses; the reasons for it: Smoke, bad nutrition and above all environmental pollution. In the once clean rivers of the rural regions flow in the meantime garbage and also chemical waste, particularly outside of the cities would come it by it to extraordinary forms of cancer.
Besides the Chinese are world champion in smoking, who is WHO alarmed, but a consistent health plan on the part of the government for clearing-up and particularly for the early recognition and prevention of cancer is missing, just like means to the diagnosis and therapy. The consequences for the economy of the country are not foreseeable - nevertheless Bhuwan assumes cancer will lastingly affect the development of China.

War before the palaces
One can watch the time standing still in “Venezia 75”, the Kurzfilm, the Antonello Sarno made for the birthday of the Mostra - a half hour of old pictures to see before the opening film “apology” from Joe WRIGHT. The Lido, Venice as window blind hardly changed, and the festival takes place still in the same areas. The olle Festivalpalazzo is kostümiert for three years for the duration of the film festivals by the Italian Meisterausstatter Dante Ferretti.
Suitably to the fact that the war - main in the Iraq, in Paul Haggis' “The Valley OF Elah” and Brian De Palmas “Redacted” - will play a role in this competition, has Ferretti this time an enormous spherical bomb into a potemkinsche plastic front before the actual palace wall tinkered. In view of the fact that the entire festival already dreams about the new building at the other side of the Strandpromenade, it seems to one that a little like a bad comment to the hated old Festivalzentrum.

War the Palazzo
Daringly already is that. An enormous steel ball, five meters in the diameter and 400 Kilos heavily, has the white wall before the Palazzo del Cinema smashed and thront now in the middle in a hole from destroyed clay bricks.

Finally a new Festivalzentrum is to develop, in its center the cinema hall of Italy largest with 2400 places in the coming three years on the Lido. But the arrangement of Fellinis Ausstatter Dante Ferretti does not function much better than account: „War the palaces “or, more roughly said: „Skin away this marode festival “?
