Dozens of protesters in Sao Paulo demonstrated Thursday against President Shimon Peres' visit to Brazil and Israel's actions in Gaza.
"War criminal, go home" the protesters shouted at Peres as he arrived in the city to give speak at a conference of local industrialists. Some of demonstrators held signs equating Peres with Hitler; others waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags

Capitalism: A love story
By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist
Michael Moore’s new film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” has one the best openings of any documentary in recent history. To draw a parallel between past and present, scenes from the Roman Empire are brilliantly juxtaposed with scenes from present day America.
Images of profligate and corrupt Roman senators are juxtaposed with images of corrupt American politicians. Images of the poor living in the slums are contrasted with images of the rich gorging themselves on food and indulging their senses.

Most advanced, expensive fighter jet headed to Israel
Most advanced, expensive fighter jet headed to Israel
By Amos Harel
The largest defense deal in Israeli history, for the purchase of the F-35 stealth fighter aircraft, is advancing, slowly but surely.
The rounds of talks among the defense establishment, the Pentagon and manufacturer Lockheed-Martin have significantly narrowed the gaps between the parties.
The United States is scheduled to respond next week to Israel's express request for 25 of the jets.
Jerusalem is to reach a final decision by early 2010, and there's a good chance a deal will be signed by the middle of the year.
