In the last 10 years, Germany has welcomed a lot of ill-behaved young men for no discernible reason, and along the way citizens have had the dubious privilege of discovering whole new categories of crime, says Eugyppius.

Are British Muslims trying to ban dogs? It's a rumour that's been swirling for years ? and it's true that in Iran hardliners occasionally moot the idea. But in this case the rumour seems to be false, says Steven Tucker.

Video Reports : Two Xmas Day Protests in the West Bank, Sheikh Jarrah & Bil'in

No Room, No Inn : Only Tents in Sheikh Jarrah, Only Tear Gas in Bil'in

In their creative, nonviolent resistance against the Apartheid Wall, for the Xmas Day protest, Bil'in's villagers decided on gifting the Israeli Occupation Forces manning the checkpoint at that obscenity a box of luxury sweets, the intention was for five Santas positioned well back from the Wall - so as to allay any IOF fears that they may be rocks to slingshot them, however, before it could transpire, the well humoured protestors were malevolently doused in a blizzard of tear gas and this continued and continued.

Further away, down south in Sheikh Jarrah where the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem's Palestinians continues apace, the protestors were corraled opposite the mouth of the road where two illegally evicted Palestinian families are forced to camp, this protest was heartening in that the vast majority of the demonstrators were Israelis, some orthodox Jewish, deeply angered by what their government is doing in their name.

This Thursday and Friday, a spate of protests will be taking place in the West Bank in solidarity with the Viva Palestina aid convoy and the Code Pink/Gaza Freedom March and in disgust at Egypt's merciless attempts to kybosh them - in collusion with the US, Israel and the EU to keep Gaza hermetically sealed and suffocating in hunger and despair.
