Seven German artists are living with lice in their hair in an Israeli museum
for three weeks in the name of art.
The Berliners aim to stretch boundaries of what is art, saying they are
toying with ideas about hosts and guests in line with a theme set by the
museum.
"The idea is that we live in the museum as their guests, and at the same
time we are hosting lice on our heads," said artist Vincent Grunwald, 23.
The artists are wearing shower caps to prevent the lice from spreading.
Milana Gitzin-Adiram, chief curator of the Museum of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv,
said: "Art is no longer just a painting on the wall.
"Art is life, life is art."
'Open up wounds'
She said she spent weeks exploring the gallery's theme of "hosting", turning
to philosophers such as Jacques Derrida and the Bible for inspiration.
But after receiving proposals from around the world, she decided to choose
the head lice.
But artists also stressed the show was not meant to be a reference to the
Holocaust.

This prison is majority Muslim -- as is virtually every house of
incarceration in France. About 60 to 70 percent of all inmates in the
country's prison system are Muslim, according to Muslim leaders,
sociologists and researchers, though Muslims make up only about 12
percent of the country's population.
[...]
In Britain, 11 percent of prisoners are Muslim in contrast to about 3
percent of all inhabitants, according to the Justice Ministry. Research
by the Open Society Institute, an advocacy organization, shows that in
the Netherlands 20 percent of adult prisoners and 26 percent of all
juvenile offenders are Muslim; the country is about 5.5 percent Muslim.
In Belgium, Muslims from Morocco and Turkey make up at least 16 percent
of the prison population, compared with 2 percent of the general populace,
the research found.

In 1970 the Russians started drilling Kola SG-3, an exploration well which
finally reached a staggering world record depth of 40,230 feet. Since then,
Russian oil majors including Yukos have quietly drilled more than 310
successful super-deep oil wells, and put them into production. Last Year
Russia overtook Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest single oil producer, and
is now set to completely dominate global oil production and sales for the
next century.
If the opening paragraph of this report started by claiming that completely
unlimited crude oil reserves exist inside planet earth, readers might be
tempted to regard the entire text as preposterous ghostwriting for a
novelist like Frederick Forsyth. If the report then went on to claim that
the Russians have exploited this stunning reality for nearly thirty years,
right under the largely unwitting noses of western intelligence, readers
could be excused for mistaking the author for a lunatic, or perhaps as a
front for spy novelist John le Carr

An Iranian envoy said Monday his government will not submit to extensive
nuclear inspections while Israel stays outside the global treaty to curb the
spread of atomic weapons.
"The existing double standard shall not be tolerated anymore by
non-nuclear-weapon states," Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh told a meeting
of the 190 countries that have signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Nuclear safeguards are far from universal, he said, adding that more than 30
countries are still without a comprehensive safeguard agreement with the
International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure full cooperation with that U.N.
body.
"Israel, with huge nuclear weapons activities, has not concluded" such an
agreement or submitted its facilities to the IAEA's safeguards, Soltanieh
said.

Shattering a 'national mythology' By Ofri Ilani Tags: Palestinians
Of all the national heroes who have arisen from among the Jewish people over
the generations, fate has not been kind to Dahia al-Kahina, a leader of the
Berbers in the Aures Mountains. Although she was a proud Jewess, few
Israelis have ever heard the name of this warrior-queen who, in the seventh
century C.E., united a number of Berber tribes and pushed back the Muslim
army that invaded North Africa. It is possible that the reason for this is
that al-Kahina was the daughter of a Berber tribe that had converted to
Judaism, apparently several generations before she was born, sometime around
the 6th century C.E.
According to the Tel Aviv University historian, Prof. Shlomo Sand, author of
"Matai ve'ech humtza ha'am hayehudi?" ("When and How the Jewish People Was
Invented?"; Resling, in Hebrew), the queen's tribe and other local tribes
that converted to Judaism are the main sources from which Spanish Jewry
sprang. This claim that the Jews of North Africa originated in indigenous
tribes that became Jewish - and not in communities exiled from Jerusalem -
is just one element of the far- reaching argument set forth in Sand's new
book.
In this work, the author attempts to prove that the Jews now living in
Israel and other places in the world are not at all descendants of the
ancient people who inhabited the Kingdom of Judea during...
