Israel got a check for $105 million from Mugabe this spring. The deal is for $1 billion. Israelis are on the ground in Zimbabwe training Mugabe thugs how to "control" crowds.

Gary Winnick and three of his friends from the Drexel days under Milliken busted Global Crossing for around $12 billion. A classic pump and dump. They took two billion from a company which never showed a profit. Winnick is pulling a Marc Rich and giving away tens of millions to get good PR. One of his deals is giving away free ten day trips to Israel to young adults (he pledged $5 million).

Israel should defend itself and I have no love for the Palestinians. But I do not agree with your comment that Israel is fighting a battle for America and all of humanity.
That is simply not the case.
Has there been clashes between the government and pro-freedom forces in Zim.? I'm not up to speed on the Zim. problems so you'll have to excuse me. The way I understand it, the government is doing what the majority of their citizens want them to do there, so I can't imagine there being massive pro-freedom demonstrations there. Maybe there is, I don't know.

REALITY is the rest of the 1 billion dollar deal will never be consummated. Zimbabwe is bankrupt and falling fast.

The deal to buy the anti-riot equipment was mooted last year when police sought authority from treasury to make a $105 million down payment to Israel's Beit Alfa Trailer Company (BAT) for the purchase of the arms to the tune of $1 billion. BAT is one of the world's leading manufacturers of riot control vehicles.
However, the deal almost collapsed when the police experienced difficulty securing foreign currency to pay for the equipment. Frantic efforts by the police, including a trip to Israel by police deputy commissioner, Godwin Matanga, just before the presidential election, resulted in the deal being resuscitated.
