Originally posted by sassa what do you think they want back?
Israel happens to be the only country in that region with whom the US is friends with, if you really think about it. Because of the geographic location, Israel happening to be a democratic state, etc., US keeps its relationship with Israel. Remember that Israel is not the country where the US flag is burned everyday.
don't you think the huge jewish lobby in the united states, as well as prominent figureheads in the entertainment, financial, political, educational, and religious sectors have anything to do with it?Maybe they do. And I'm sure that if there was a strong Arabic lobby in the US, they would pressure the US toward their goals...but there isn't. And the US supports Israel to some degree (the US doesn't approve of every single thing Israel does)...once again, the US is thinking about their ass only and what suits them best (and I'm not blaming them, why shouldn't they).

where did israel get the money for buying weapons and equipping its armies, pray tell?
The only reason the US is supporting Israel is to satisfy their own interests. And think of the money given to Israel by the US as an "investment" by the US..obviously the US wants something back also.

WRONG! If you know your history, you'd know that the Arabic countries of the ME don't give a shit about Palestinians. They tried to fight and destroy Israel several times (each country having their own reasons, not just to "free" the Palestinians), but failed. And once again, if you know your history, not a single US soldier was ever placed to fight along Israeli soldiers during any of the Arab-Israeli wars...Israel always fought alone.

Again, my point with the ANC - they were a terrorist group.
I'm not familiar with ANC. What is it?

Do you really think that if all these three terrorist organizations (hamas, etc) were destroyed or dismantled that Israel would say "Oh, ok, let us give back this land to the Palestinians, and move out completely"?
So are you saying that the terrorist groups are helping the Palestinians in some way? Which way is that? Just one example.

there is no way in hell that the IDF is innocent in all of this.
Never said they were. Just want to see the shit stopped already. I thought that there would be immediate changes since Abu Mazen became the PM..but i don't see shit happening.

hamas issued a statement saying they would take revenge for that attack- that's exactly what happened in jerusalem....
"Hamas issued a statement"? Hamas is nothing but a low life terrorist group...since when are they issuing statements..and who is listening to them anyway.
This is the problem with the Palestinian people...terrorist groups are speaking for the people...and Arafat's office is no better. Abu Mazen should be the one speaking for the Palestinian people, "issuing statements" and deciding when/if to retaliate or not. This is never-ending. Sad.

this is retaliation for their rocket attack on a hamas member, but since civilians were also killed, this was their comeback.
You're saying that since Palestinian civilians were killed, that was the reason for today's attacks on Israeli civilians? I think not. Palestinian groups attack whoever they want..whether a soldier, civilian, child, whoever...they don't sit there and say to themselves "hmm since our civilians were killed, we're going to attack Israeli civilians in return." No..they always just go out on a suicide mission with one thing in their mind...and that is to kill as many as possible.
it's so sad. but the problem is that this is lopsided. the extreme israelis are already in the government. the palestinian extremists are the "terrorist groups". these are the two groups that will ultimately decide what's going to happen. moderate people have either been killed, jailed, or exiled.No need for the quotation marks around 'terrorist groups' because that's what they are...they purposely attack civilians and try to kill as many as possible..that's a fact..and everyone knows it.

It never ends...so sad. And especially in this time when both political sides are trying to finally establish peace, with the help of US.
Palestinians are jeopordizing their chance at getting their own state...that's another sad thing

Take a ride down Lexicon Avenue
Scott Bradford, Mark Armstrong and Chris Scott are known as Lexicon Avenue. Combined, these three lads from the north of England have been continually pounding the progressive scene with top class productions. From their brilliant first outing in 'Here I Am', things have only got better for the lads, leading them to many prolific and impressive remixes for the likes of Dirty Vegas, East West Connection, Dave Gahan, John Creamer & Stephane K, and Ben Onono amongst others. What is ironic is that one of their most popular remixes will never see an official release, that of course being their baseline driven rework of Depeche Mode. The lads recently caught up with RA to shed some light on their situation...
So how was 2002 and 2003 (what we have had of it) been for Lexicon Avenue?
It's been a very, very busy couple of years for us. Basically non stop studio and DJ'ing . The rest of 2003 is already well booked up with studio time and even more gigs. We need to try and find more time to work in the studio to be honest.
What is it like having 3 members in a production outfit. Can it ever get difficult in the studio or does it flow smoothly most of the time?
We all work well together. We do argue about things in the tracks from time to time but it works out ok normally. It's better having 3 sets of ears on quality control than just 1. It's great when we hit a brick wall as we all egg each other on. We have a good laugh as well taking the piss out of each other.
Being based in the UK, can you notice the so called downturn in the clubbing industry? If so, why do you think this may be happening?
the numbers have dropped a bit in a lot of clubs around the uk over the past year. The smaller underground clubs seem to be the ones that have shone through. Clubs like the end, basics, shindig and bedrock. I can see it being just as hard for clubs this summer but we all have to stick with it and things will sort themselves out pretty soon.....I hope
Your nite:life mix really pushed you guys as a DJ'ing outfit. Do you intend to further the DJ'ing and do you see benefits from working as producers and DJ's?
As mentioned earlier we have been really busy travelling and doing gigs we have been too busy doing gigs to be honest we need to get in the studio more.
THAT Depeche Mode remix. How did that come about?
We found an accapella and decided to do a mix for us to use at the 2002 wmc. We gave a few cd’s to people and a year down the line it really blew up....some twat has just bootlegged it though which we are very pissed off about. On the plus side Dave Gahan from DM heard it and asked us to remix his new solo single which is cool.
What can you tell us about any upcoming remixes and productions?
As I just mentioned we have remixed Dave Gahans "Dirty Sticky Floor" for mute. Our mix of John Creamer & Stephane K's "Wish U Were Here" is due out very soon we also have a lexicon avenue vocal single planned.
What producers or DJ’s have been influential to you over the years?
In the past Tenaglia, Mood 2 Swing, deep dish have been influences on us now its people like Chus and Ceballos, Peace Division and h-foundation that we aspire to.
Are there any artists in particular you guys would like to remix?
Grace Jones, the Cure, Bjork, New Order or an official Depeche Mode mix would be cool (and Madonna or Kylie for the cash ha!)
What hobbies do you guys like to get up to in your spare time?
We all have kids so we try and spend what little free time we get with them. We all enjoy a movie as well that and a trip to the pub.
If you had to name your top 5 or so favourite tunes, what would they be?
That’s to hard to do so you can get lost....Ha

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night the ("graveyard shift") to listen for the bell. Hence, someone could be "saved by the bell", or was considered a "dead ringer".
this is crazy:eek:

Retaliation-Is it Justified Depending on Who Attacks...

Why do you think in those extreme ways? Sharon wiping out the Palestinians? Why and how would that be beneficial to Israel? I think that both Israel and PA understand that this thing can't go on forever and truly want peace...that is why they're accepting US road map to peace.
Like I said before, it's not beneficial for the rest of the Arabic counties of the ME to attack Israel. Egypt and Jordan signed a peace agreement with Israel a long time ago, and they understant and know that going to war will hurt their economy, government, and the entire country in general. I also think (and hope) that the Arabic countries understant that the whole "jihad" thing is BS and it's better to work with Israel than go against it.
