He praised the Israeli Prime Minister, Mr Ehud Barak, as being "more creative and courageous" than the Palestinian President, Mr Yasser Arafat, during the Camp David summit and warned that Mr Arafat would be "making a big mistake" if he declared independence unilaterally. Mr Clinton said he was reviewing his decision to freeze the transfer of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to West Jerusalem, a move which would effectively recognise Israel's sovereignty over the disputed city. A furious Mr Arafat said during a visit to Paris on Saturday that he would declare a state "when the time is right", depending on the "advice of friends". Dr Nabil Shaath, Palestinian Minister of Planning, said Mr Clinton was "unfair" and the Palestinian legislator, Dr Hanan Ashrawi, called his remarks "blatant political blackmail". The spokesman of the opposition Islamist Hamas movement, Mr Mahmoud Zohar, warned the US that "its interests will be in danger in all Islamic states" if it moved its embassy to Jerusalem. Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hizbullah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, threatened yesterday to destroy the US embassy in Israel and kill its diplomats if the mission was moved to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. "You can move your embassy to Jerusalem and send your diplomats there. But honest people can turn your embassy to rubble and send back your diplomats in coffins," he said in south Lebanon.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
