On January 31, 2013, a three-member UN panel cited Israel as in violation of the human rights of Palestinians and the sovereignty of the Palestinian nation.
Israel’s plan for World War enters high gear — By Gordon Duff and Press TV Share | Email | Print “The ‘final straw,’ as it were, has been set in motion in Azerbaijan. Their government, once in agreement with Iran over Caspian oil finds, now is taking direction from Israel. This may well cause the [...]
Mister Chairman,Excellencies,Ladies and Gentlemen,Exactly a year ago, on 29 November 2011, I expressed, before this august gathering, my concern that “talk of peace has become virtually meaningless” in the face of continuing aggression and occupation of Palestinian and Arab land, and of an ever more hostile and determined strategy of the occupying power to continuously expand control over and possession of Palestinian territory, including exploitation of its resources.
Some and perhaps many will regard my headline question as offensive but I make no apology for asking it; and I take comfort from the fact that my decision to pose it is fully supported by one of my very dear Jewish friends – Nazi holocaust survivor Dr. Hajo Meyer.
After his debacle at the UN, and his coming debacle in Gaza, Netanyahu is going to need a fall-back career: Lead role in the Broadway musical comedy “Springtime for Bibi.”
Yesterday, September 27, 2012, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an impassioned speech that was full of half-truths and lies to the United Nations.
Iran’s leadership denies any effort to make a nuclear weapon and Iran’s Foreign Minister said that international inspectors will be allowed to visit any site in Iran that they wished while The New York Times beats the drum for war.
With the world in such an economic, financial, political, and social mess, as it has been for a number of years, one has to wonder what the role, purpose and mission of the World Economic Forum.
What follows is the background story of the questions I emailed and hand delivered to Buddy Roemer which have now become an Open Inquiry to All Presidential Candidates.
Today at the United Nations President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas formally requested full United Nations membership and stated, “I don’t believe anyone with a shred of conscience can reject our application for full admission in the United Nations.” Citizens of conscience can help force President Obama to earn his Nobel Peace Prize…
CTJP=Compassion, Truth, Justice, Peace. President Obama’s speech today at the UN drew immediate praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his efforts to dissuade Palestinian leaders from pushing for a United Nations vote on statehood, calling Obama’s actions a “badge of honor”.
This week the United States Middle East hypocrisy will be viewed by the world. After 44 years of illegal military occupation by Israel, Palestine is reaching out to the world for recognition and statehood even though their bid for statehood at the UN Security Council will surely be vetoed by Obama
The best way for America to become more secure may well be to dismantle its vast security apparatus. This means eliminating the Department of Homeland Security, closing down our 800 military bases on foreign soil, and slashing armaments spending by the War Department, the one euphemistically called the Department of Defense but which is, in fact, the spearhead of today’s naked American aggression in six countries.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been to Israel more than any other presidential candidate and he believes he’s on a mission from God. In his 11 years in office he also wrested much power away from that states Legislature. This citizen of conscience for US House of Representatives has been to Israel seven times since 2005, but I spent my time in occupied Palestine, on my mission from God: seek truth and report it!
While hard working American tax payers face economic hardships, 81 members of Congress neglected listening to their constituents during this summers recess to take a lobbyist-funded trip designed to pressure them into sending even more tax-payer-funded weapons to the Israeli military which will be used to commit human rights abuses against Palestinians.
We pay special attention to the so-called “anti-imperialist” camp’s great betrayal of the Libyan people and how, through ignorance, stupidity, dogmatism, naivety and greed for Gaddafi’s money, these faux “leftists” turned their backs on the Libyan people and supported the murderous Gaddafi regime.
Sovereignty and a New Reality: Palestinian Statehood at the United Nations. Ambassador Areikat spoke to the question of why the PLO is only now bringing this request to the UN – stating that US President Barack Obama’s speech at the UN General Assembly in September 2010 served as a point of encouragement for the action.
Jeff Halper looks ahead to the Palestinians’ “September moment”, when they intend to go for independence and apply for admission to the UN, and how the PA must move quickly to mobilize civil society support worldwide.
International civil society is Palestinians’ “most important ally”

PACK YOUR BAGS BAN KI-MOON. Blockade illegal… collective punishment illegal… interception illegal… The UN called for “unimpeded” humanitarian assistance for Gaza
PUTTING OUT FIRE WITH GASOLINE IN LIBYA By Susan Lindauer STAFF WRITER former U.S. Intelligence Asset covering Libya and Iraq at the United Nations War doesn’t work, does it? Best case scenario, NATO’s war against Libya will run 18 to 24 months unless decisive action is taken right now—this day—to end the military confrontation. Moussa [...]
Dear Folks, I know you have all heard of a mythical term called ‘oversight’. The context most familiar to you could be anything from the Federal Reserve, defense contracting overruns, to the Pentagon’s black operations. But Greg Palast is going to introduce us to the nuclear unicorn today.
Political donation laundering-rechanneling (PDLR) is a business in its own right, whether it is for pre-election donations or post-election maintenance contributions. In most cases, PDLR requires savvy strategists and planners, quick-witted implementers, friends and enablers in high-places, and a high degree of creativity, almost to the point of being artistic.
