THEY do say that Tinsel Town, home of the fabulously rich, famous and beautiful people is the place where dreams come true. But I think that Hollywood should now be renamed Follywood to reflect the actions of some of its residents.

Just days after the Hamas-Fatah clash last June in Gaza, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas looked firm and composed as he shook hands with members of his new emergency government. He made sure his move appeared as legitimate as possible, issuing decrees that outlawed the armed militias of Hamas, and also suspended consequential clauses in the Palestinian Basic Law, which had thus far served as a constitution.

Why did Israel attack Gaza with such brutality? Did Israeli officials think, even for a fleeting moment, that their army's attacks could halt, as opposed to intensify, Palestinian rockets or retaliatory violence? Indeed, was Palestinian violence at all relevant to the Israeli action? Was the Israeli bloodletting in Gaza solely relevant to the Gaza/Hamas context, or is there a regional dimension that is largely being overlooked?

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown recently stated that he would like to see
Guantanamo Bay closed down as soon as possible. But lawyers and human rights campaigners accused him of double standards claiming the British Government is running its own Guantanamo Bay, hidden away in leafy Worcestershire.
