ECB head's wife says Sharon provokes violence

The wife of European Central Bank chief Wim Duisenberg on Saturday described Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories as "inhuman" and accused Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of provoking violence.

Gretta Duisenberg has stirred international controversy by using a diplomatic passport to visit Palestinian President Yasser Arafat this week, urging an end to Israeli occupation and making remarks that Dutch and Israeli officials have called biased and Jewish groups said verged on anti-Semitism.

The ECB chief's spouse, who heads a pro-Palestinian activist group in the Netherlands and last year hung a Palestinian flag from her family home, said after further talks with Palestinians she wanted to look into alleged Israeli human rights violations.

"The power of the Israeli government to humiliate (Palestinians) like that -- I cannot stand it ... If you see it yourself, it's more inhuman," Duisenberg told Reuters after a meeting with Palestinian lawmaker Hanan Ashrawi.

She blamed Israel for the violence afflicting the region since Palestinians launched an uprising in September 2000 for a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war...
