Israel over Gaza: A Campaign to Perpetuate the Occupation Israel over Gaza: A Campaign to Perpetuate the Occupation
Israel's military operation called Molten Lead started on Saturday, December 27, 2008 and took more than 200 lives in its first day, much to the satisfaction of the Israeli public.

The NFP News Story of 2008 - the Food Recalls! Print E-mail
Written by Trevor Hill   
Monday, 15 December 2008

ImageYeah, yeah, there are tons of other major News Stories this past year. All kinds of them. The wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, soon-to-be Iran, Sudan, or which ever one you’d like to pick. There’s the Economic ‘Meltdown’; like screwed up world economics was ever anything new. How about Obama’s election? Well, that’s something TIME will probably do.

There were many other items besides food that was recalled, but we’ve picked ‘Food Recalls’ as the NFP’s news story of the year because we’ll probably be the only ones to mention the fact that for virtually everyday, a ‘recall’ of mostly food items, including the killer dog and cat food, was presented on the Canadian news channels during 2008.
