Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel's Gaza campaign "barbaric,"

Thousands turned out to greet Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his return home from Davos, Switzerland, on Friday, a day after a heated exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres over Israel's military campaign in Gaza.

Erdogan stormed offstage during a debate at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Turkey, a predominantly Muslim nation, has long been the Jewish state's closest military and economic partner in the region, and Turkey recently mediated indirect peace talks between Israel and Syria.

Erdogan say to Peres. "My voice will not be that loud. You must know that. When it comes to killing -- you know killing very well. I know how you hit, kill children on the beaches."

"From now on, Davos is finished for me," Erdogan said. "I will not come back. You won't let people talk. You gave him 25 minutes, but you gave me 12 minutes. This is not right."

He then left the stage, complaining that Peres was receiving preferential treatment.

Obama makes history as first black US president

Barack Obama became America's first black president yersterday in a singular moment of history and proclaimed the nation had chosen "hope over fear" in the face of economic gloom and foreign wars.

Obama, the son of a black Kenyan father and white American mother, laid his hand on the same Bible that Abraham Lincoln used at his inauguration in 1861 to take the oath of office.

Obama's inauguration, on the steps of the US Capitol which was partially built with slave labor, broke the highest racial barrier in the United States, and may go a long way to consummating civil rights icon Martin Luther King's dream of racial unity.

Obama has vowed to hit the ground running as soon as he takes office, pushing an 825-billion-dollar stimulus package to lift the US economy and vowing to repair the tattered US image abroad. The new president has also offered talks with US foes such as Iran.

Bawah USD$40 Setong

Harga minyak di pasaran dunia mungkin tetap bawah USD$40 ringgit setong akan datang ini, yang mungkin kita di Malaysia akan mendapat balik harga lama petgrol iaitu RM1.05 setilter seperti dahulu. Lepas itu ramai rakyat Malaysia akan berjalan-jalan makan angin, dengan petrol murah.

Negara pengeluar minyak dunia seperti Iran dan Venizuala yang sangat dimusuhi Amerika Syarikat mungkin akan tertekan sedikit ekonominya dengan keadaan harga barang asas seperti makanan dan pakainan yang melabung-lambung.

Begitu juga di Malaysia, walaupun harga minyak turun dan akan rendah lagi, peniaga yang sudah selesa menjual mahal, mereka tetap tidak mahu menurunkan harga makanan dan barang-barang. Contohnya makanan di kedai makan dan restoran.

Keputusan Pilihan Raya Kecil Parlimen K.T.

Dulu Parti Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak pernah kalah dalam pilihan raya kecil, namun sekarang nasib menang kalah, tidak boleh dibuat ramalan.

Seorang prof yang bercakap di TV3 memberi analisis bahawa kekalahan itu disebabkan media bannyak mengampu hingga meluatkan audion hingga rasa simpati kepada calon PAS. Katanya ramai yang datang ke Trengganu menyusahkan UMNO dari membantu, yang menjadikan pondok-pondok parti kelam kabut.

Entahlah ye!

Kenapa Jadi Begini Nasibmu Rakyat Pelestin?
