18-Jan-11: Quotes of the day

The quotes today are from Iran.

Reuters says the ruling regime in Teheran "has been developing contacts in more than 30 countries to acquire technology, equipment and raw materials needed to build a nuclear bomb" according to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten on Sunday. It says: "More than 350 Iranian companies and organizations were involved in the pursuit of nuclear and missile technology between 2006 and 2010... "A race exists between the bomb and [Iranian] financial collapse," a French nuclear expert is quoted by the Norwegians as saying.

Iran's president has expressed his feelings on how things are developing. This source says Ahmadinejad told a group of official IRNA news agency staff today (Tuesday): "Tens of resolutions will not stop Iran's nuclear drive. We drive our peaceful nuclear program ahead day by day... If the Western countries issue tens of other resolutions against Iran, the resolutions will not have any impact on our country's will..." And from another source today: "We are making progress in the nuclear field and they can say and do whatever they want... They can even issue 100,000 resolutions... like we care."

You can't fault the man's clarity.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
