Every shekel Israel spends counteracting #BDS is a shekel less it has to spend on killing Palestinians & deepening the occupation

On Sunday 18 August 2013, the Moroccan authority arrested three Saharawi activists who are members of the Saharawi Association ( CODAPSO- type the full name of the organization. )The activists are Hammad Hammad, Sidi Mohamed and Alal Asofi. The arrest took place at the Karont checkpoint, 40 kilometers away from the city of Dakhla. The Moroccan force police did not give them any reasons for their arrest and detained them for three hours. It investigated them and searched their cars and personal belongings. Eventually, the activists were released and continued their trip to the Dkhala city. 

In the meantime, the Moroccan security forces have besieged and surrounded the ASLAM neighborhood.

BBC has become extremely cowardly in many issues in recent years, not just on those touching Palestine. During Samer Issawi's hunger strike BBC's lack of neutrality became very pronounced (he was mentioned off-handedly in two articles during it and his hungerstrike got it's own article only after it ended), and now of course one can look at how BBC tries to tell at little as possible about Edward Snowden's revelations. Fear before power has become collusion.

Answer to hysterical, absurd claims at: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/13639

European Union has made a small move towards justice, upholding international law. It could do much more, from heavy economic and political sanctions to just freezing the extremely favourable trade deals that it has granted to Israel. More of this hysterical whining and it will do that. I personally suggest you stuff this "blood libel" stuff where the Sun doesn't shine, because it's an affront towards victims of actual historical racism to try to connect their suffering to the illegal settlers.

All Israel's settlements on the areas it occupied in 1967 are illegal, building of them are war crimes as are population transfers and ethnic cleansing Israel is committing now on a daily basis.

I understand that some people have a hard time understanding that Israel is bound by same laws as "lesser" states, but that's how it is. Building more illegal settlement fortresses on E1 would separate East Jerusalem from West Bank, would cut a huge chunk out of West Bank, but that's really beside the point because all the settlements are illegal and Israel has no right to keep anything at all of the areas it occupies.

The world and Palestinians have for decades offered Israel 78 percent of British Palestine in exchange of Palestinians getting 22 percent. That Israel demands more is outrageous and really the world, EU in lead, should encourage Israel to embrace peace by bringing back UN plan 1948 borders as a reminder that pre-1967 borders are not the least that Israel can get, but the most.

First Unlooted Royal Wari Tomb of Its Kind Unearthed in Peru

The Wari lords have long been overshadowed by the later Inca, whose achievements were extensively documented by their Spanish conquerors. But in the 8th and 9th centuries A.D., the Wari built an empire that spanned much of present-day Peru. Their Andean capital, Huari, became one of the world's great cities. At its zenith, Huari boasted a population conservatively estimated at about 40,000 people. Paris, by comparison, had just 25,000 residents at the time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the archaeologists carefully removed the fill, they discovered rows of human bodies buried in a seated position and wrapped in poorly preserved textiles. Nearby, in three small side chambers, were the remains of three Wari queens and many of their prized possessions, including weaving tools made of gold. "So what were these first ladies doing at the imperial court? They were weaving cloth with gold instruments," says Makowski.

Mourners had also interred many other treasures in the room: inlaid gold and silver ear-ornaments, silver bowls, bronze ritual axes, a rare alabaster drinking cup, knives, coca leaf containers, brilliantly painted ceramics from many parts of the Andean world, and other precious objects. Giersz and his colleagues had never seen anything like it before. "We are talking about the first unearthed royal imperial tomb," says Giersz.

But for archaeologists, the greatest treasure will be the tomb's wealth of new information on the Wari Empire. The construction of an imperial mausoleum at El Castillo shows that Wari lords conquered and politically controlled this part of the northern coast, and likely played a key role in the downfall of the northernMoche kingdom. Intriguingly, one vessel from the mausoleum depicts coastal warriors battling axe-wielding Wari invaders.

Star is crowded by super-Earths

Scientists have identified three new planets around a star they already suspected hosted a trio of worlds.

It means this relatively nearby star, Gliese 667C, now has three so-called super-Earths orbiting in its "habitable zone".

This is the region where temperatures ought to allow for the possibility of liquid water, although no-one can say for sure what conditions are really like on these planets.

Gliese 667C is 22 light-years away.

In every Israel election Israeli Jewish parents could vote for a better future for their children by voting for an end to the occupation that has gone on for 46 years and for equal rights for all Israeli citizens after 65 years of inequality based on ethnic-religious identities.

They could vote to have their children grow up and live in a country that respects human rights, international law and equality of human beings no matter their background.

But they don't vote for that. They vote for continuation of the occupation, for more Ethnic Cleansing, for intensifying Apartheid.

It seems that Israeli Jewish parents hate Arabs more than love their own children.

It's funny how the countries which are usually full of "Freedom" rhetoric to the extent that it nauseates the foreign observer, appear to nowadays have the most spineless politicians and apathetic populations when it would be time to stand up and protect those supposedly cherished freedoms - or at least a time to show some amount of indignation for the loss of them.

But it seems that the British forget all about Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus and other stuff like that and the Yankees, who usually are like silverback gorillas thumping their chests and shouting about "Land of the Free! Live Free or Die!", fall silent and find something more interesting and unpolitical to do when reality bites them by showing the ugly modern truths under all that old heirloom rhetoric.

I'm getting the feeling that the wrong side won the Cold War. We would still have security states, but at least they would be ones without hedge funds.

I have no doubt that United States uses it's spying on Europe to conduct industrial espionage - sharing the loot with the US companies that act as arms of the NSA, FBI and so on - but probably also to spy on European politicians and high ranking bureaucrats, trying to find skeletons in the closet that they can use to blackmail them.

The utterly spineless Viviane Reding for example; her meek "I must believe what the American government says" is hard to explain otherwise, nobody that naive in real life would have an IQ high enough to be able to act as a commissioner.

If the "West" is too weak to stop Israel from ethnically cleansing occupied East Jerusalem and West Bank, if "West" is too weak to stop Israel from building more and enlargening existing illegal settlements, then at least the "West" should stop de facto supporting the ethnic cleansing and illegal settlement building.

If "West" can't do anything for peace, it should at least stop supporting Israel's illegal activities to make peace impossible. No more "deploring" by Catherine Ashton, instead condemnation.

The extremely favourable - to Israel - trade deals that EU has made with Israel should be the first to go.

Israel is able to keep up the occupation, Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing because it has had to suffer no major ill consequences and has instead been able to profit out of the suffering of Palestinians.

Ordinary citizens have been able to enjoy the fruits of occupation too and this always a majority of them votes for more suffering on the Palestinians.

To end the occupation and Apartheid majority of Israelis have to be made to feel that the occupation and oppression hurts them more than it benefits them. That they will come to see that the occupation must end.

Cultural boycott is not counterproductive. It brings pressure on Israel, unlike keeping up the status quo and it's weekly announcements of new illegal settlement building projects and daily attacks by settlers.

Zionists have become comfortable with the occupation. US blocks all international sanctions against Israel, so it's the moral duty of normal people to make the majority of Israelis uncomfortable with the coccupation and oppression.

Israel is an Apartheid state build and kept up through ethnic cleansing. (There's a reason why it's illegal settlements are called "Jewish settlements" you know - no Israeli Arabs, no Palestinians allowed to live in them.)

Israel tortured a man named Arafat Jaradat(1983-2013) to death this year. They arrested him for throwing a stone and demanded that he become an informant for them and when he didn't they tortured him until he died.

Majority of Israeli academics are quite comfortable with the whole occupation and all the human suffering it causes. It's only right that they are made to be pay a price for allowing their government to do commit human rights violations and war crimes.

Commenting in a thread on Politico article on NSA spying and Edward Snowden: 

He isn't giving anything yet to China and it might be that he won't give them anything. If the Chinese government is wise, they just give him a security detail and let him freely meet every possible journalist that wants to interview him.

That would hurt US more than any extra detail he could give to the Chinese and it's hard to think that there wouldn't already be any Chinese spies among the 1 million employees, contractors and subcontractors working for US intelligence services, NSA included.

I would guess that NSA probably has enough moles so that other major states like Russia and less major states that are interested of spying US - like Israel - are pretty well aware of what NSA is doing.

No wonder that Russia, China and in less extent EU are so interested of having their own internet capabilities and constraining the activities of Big Tech allied with US government in the spying.

That of course also means that if US government is ready to pay a price big enough, then Snowden's likely B plan (cross the border to China proper seeking protection there) might not be worth much to him, only to the Chinese.

Swedish Folke Bernadotte saved 30 000 Jews from the Concentration Camps during World War 2.

In 1948 he was sent as UN envoy to Palestine to negotiate peace. Because of his background, it was expected by UN that the Zionists would view him positively and would more easily listen to him.

What the Zionists did - with the future prime minister Yitzhak Shamir playing a major role - was to murder him.

That was his reward from Israel for saving 30 000 Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis. Being murdered.

That's the Israeli idea of justice and how much they really care for the Holocaust.

Commenting to Damian Thompson's article on the Torygraph:

Snowden will not be a "Rightwing" hero, the author is deluded, if he means "Republican" or "Conservative" with the "Rightwing".

Some of them are cheering him because they see him hurting Obama, but in fact he's hurting the intelligence apparatus that both main parties in USA have been building since the beginning of the Cold War and a lot of Republicans don't like this.

Think of Ari Fleischer who has lauded Obama for his actions, calling his second term "The fourth term of George W. Bush."

Instead I think he will be a hero to a lot of people coming from all political ideologies, and probably a traitor to people from most political ideologies. It will be mixed, but those who dislike the current political and geopolitical situation overall in US and in the World will see him the most positively.

What comes to Obama, he will certainly serve his term to the end, probably pretty popular still but his reputation stained by this. One has to remember that this is not about the person in the Oval Office, but the deeper currents in the government that go on from administration from administration.

To truly change things, policies have to be changed, laws have to be changed to create "firewalls", vast amount of personnel needs to be changed and other arms of the government need to be galvanized to do their job in reining in the presidency and the intelligence agencies when they go too far. (I doubt this will happen.)

Observe how Congress has failed in this even when in other issues the party that hasn't been and has wanted to get to the Oval Office has gone very far to obsctruct the presidents. The intelligence agencies, like Pentagon, have been a kind of holy cow hat every politician worships publicly and avoids criticizing "too much".

Since the beginning of 2000, Israel is killed 1579 Palestinian children.

Zionists believe that they should have a right to kidnap, torture, kill people and steal land to their hearts' content without suffering any casualties at all.

And without having to suffer any criticism either.

'

As long as Zionists prefer Ethnic Cleansing, Apartheid and other human rights violations and war crimes to peace, they have no right to complain about if they now and then suffer casualties themselves.

Israeli voters could vote for peace in their elections, but instead majority always votes for more occupation, more Ethnic Cleansing and more racist policies.

US government and tech companies' arrogant behaviour in the PRISM and Boundless Informant issue, when they just assume that all information of "foreigners" belongs to them, that only "Americans" have a right to privacy (as long as they are obedient and don't have any contacts to abroad) is a good example why United States is so hated, loathed and despised elsewhere on this planet.

It hasn't occurred to any representative of US government at any level to even claim (dishonest as it would have been) that they don't steal information of citizens of other countries. They just assume that everybody else except the "American" voter is inconsequential and need not be bothered with even with falsely comforting lies.

So many people who seem to think that Israel must be utterly good and perfect, incapable of doing anything wrong, because it declares itself  to be a Jewish state.

Well, here's news to you: Jews are are no better or no worse overall than other humans - they are not demigods with halos around their heads - and when given the opportunity to commit atrocities with knowledge that they can get away with everything they do, as the "West" has allowed to happen in Palestine,  they fall as hard and deep as any other group of people would.

The problem with the Philosemites is that they have as ridiculous extreme view of Jews as the Antisemites do, just exactly opposite.

Israel is trying to steal what remains of the Palestinians' lands. Everybody who has seen the map of Israeli settlements, it's illegal Wall, it's "Jewish settlers only" roads on the West Bank knows this.

It's a colonialistic landgrab, made possible by the Israel Lobby buying the whole US Congress from decade to decade.

And it's not just the Congress: Bill Clinton has just been paid in advance 500 000 dollars to give a 45 minute talk to one Israeli organization taking part in the colonialist project on the occupied areas.

Israel is using the genocide done by the Nazis as a tool to get away with it's own atrocities. This has to be stopped, Israel must be forced to stop hiding behind the Holocaust and must not be allowed to get away with it's own crimes as a result of a guilty conscience over the Jewish genocide.

Jewish blood can't be washed away from the hands of the "West" by Palestinian blood. Attempt to do so just leaves more blood in our hands.

If international organizations and major states don't bring sanctions to Israel, then normal citizens must act.

And it's not just Israel, the Boycott and Disinvestment movement can and should serve as an example and inspiration to solve other similar situations where the so-called international community is unwilling or uncapable of acting. For example, Western Sahara and West Papua.

The Tibetans are already running their own "Boycott China" campaign, and are now targeting foreign companies taking part in the "re-development" of Lhasa.

I encourage you to support them, the West Papuans, the Sahrawis of Western Sahara and to support the boycott of Israel until justice is done.

PLO has recognized Israel as a state since 1988 and is ready to let Israel get 78 % of British Palestine if Israel let's Palestinians have East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza.

In 2008 Abbas even offered to give half of East Jerusalem to Israel and betray the rights of refugees, offering that Israel should only take 17 000 refugees back, but even these where too much for Olmert's government, which demanded the whole of East Jerusalem.

Instead of Israel allowing right of return to any refugees - which all have it according to international law - Israeli politicians like the current government minister Tzipi Livni demand that Israeli Arabs should be ethnically cleansed as part of a peace agreement and moved to the West Bank.

Canadian visa refusal for Palestinian poet overturned after social media campaign | Books | guardian.co.uk

A social media victory is being claimed on behalf of the leading Palestinian poet Ghassan Zaqtan after his visa to enter Canada to attend a prestigious poetry award ceremony - initially denied - was granted on Thursday.

Zaqtan was shortlisted for the C$65,000 (£41,000) Griffin poetry prize in April for his 10th collection Like a Straw Bird It Follows Me, described by judges as poetry which "reminds us why we live and how, in the midst of war, despair, global changes". But the Palestinian poet and novelist, who is also founding director of the House of Poetry in Ramallah, found that his request for a visa to travel to Canada to attend the ceremony was denied by the Canadian embassy in Cairo, according to his translator Fady Joudah, on the grounds that "the reason for the visit is unconvincing".

Eton's entrance exam apparently featured this question - on how to justify murder of protesters as Prime Minister. twitter.com/muzrobertson/s…
— Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) May 24, 2013

The brutal murder of a British soldier in London doesn't seem to be that much of a "terror attack"; instead, based on the attackers behaviour, it seems to be a callous "15 minutes of fame" attack, whose perpetrators pay for their 15 minutes of fame with at least 25-30 years in prison - and the British public may pay for it with loss of more civil liberties.

One could say that the attack was the result of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Mali, but none of these wars was directly mentioned, just a vague "Arabic country" where Cameron has sent troops. This could be an attack inspired by the bombing in Boston, USA, but the feeling I get is that the political motive in this case is there just to give a fig leaf of a justification in the attackers own eyes' and - quite possibly - to give the attack a higher profile.

Similar brutal attacks in recent years without a political motive - with samurai swords in churchyard, for example - tend to disappear quickly, presented as weird or freak news with the attacker rarely getting widespread publicity. But add a political motive and you get your 15 minutes of a fame with picture and name spread around the globe.

Stephen Hawking has done the right thing, others should follow him and it should have been done decades ago en masse to end the occupation.

Israel has become an Apartheid state which on a daily basis takes more Palestinian land and destroys Palestinian property in an effort to force people leave.

And it's just not the occupied territories, Israel is planning to forcibly remove 30 000 - 40 000 Bedouin, Israeli citizens, from Negev.

Israel is a nasty, oppressive regime hiding behind it's self-declared Jewish identity and people must stop excusing it's crimes just because its "a Jewish state".

Israel is an Apartheid state committing Ethnic Cleansing; just today it announced the building of 296 new illegal settler units on the occupied West Bank. Israel tortures people, even to death like happened to Arafat Jaradat earlier this year.

Since 1967 Israel has imprisoned 750 000 Palestinians and now stops Palestinian access to 51 % of occupied West Bank according to the World Bank.

Israel's current government includes figures like American Naftali Bennett, who claims that Israel will not accept any kind of Palestinian state, not even an archipelago of bantustans that Benyamin Netanyahu plans.

Bennett claims that even 200 years into ther future Israel will be occupying those part of West Bank that it won't annex, condemning Palestinians into eternal slavery.

Stephen Hawking is right in boycotting Israel and all people of conscience should boycott Israel.

European Union is finally going to label illegal settlement products, but it's leaders are also largely Israel's sycophants, like the current British Blairite foreign policy representative Ashton, who has not condemned a single action by Israel during her entire tenure (she "laments" and "deplores" which is the most severe use of words she can use against Israel's regime).

Leaders of individual EU states are eager to declare their pro-Israel credentials, with France's Hollande opposing BDS campaign and Britain's Cameron declaring that criticism against Israel is "an attempt at delegitimization", with Germany's Merkel declaring that Germany will stand with Israel.

The fact is that Israel is above international laws and human morality according to EU leaders also, and that to them also Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing is a Zionist right and opposing Israel's war crimes and human rights violations is always antisemitism.

The "West" has made Israel into an object of worship and everything is permissible to the Israeli regime, which uses Judaism as it's shield. Criticize Israel and the shield will be raised with shouts of "Antisemitism!" and "Holocaust!" and obedient Western politicians run into declare their and their countries undying and unconditional support to Israel no matter what it does.

Apartheid, Ethnic Cleansing, torturing people like Arafat Jaradat to death and enslaving an entire nation (American born Israeli minister Naftali Bennett publicly declaring that Israel will occupy "at least 200 years" those parts of West Bank that it's not planning to annex)
are seen by the West to be Israel's right, which might occasionally "lamented", but never opposed.

And naturally the victims of Israeli Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing are claimed to be guilty of their own suffering, like Barack Obama has said. According to him everything that Israel has done to Palestinians is their own fault. Imagine the outrage if someone would say the same about past Jewish suffering.

I do have to wonder who motivated the Chechen Tsarnajev brothers to commit the bomb attacks in Boston? Hopefully their contacts can be tracked.

This plays suspiciously into Putin's hands and SVR&FSB has in the past shown scant recard to human lives when instigating violence to justify government policy.

SVR&FSB might - although this is clearly a far-fetched conspiracy theory - have pretended to be a link to Jihadists and encouraged the brothers to turn from Chechen nationalist aspirations to supposedly serve global Jihadism.

If FBI informants can pretend to represent al-Qaida then why not SVR&FSB agents?

War Criminal Shimon Peres being "protected" from Arab, Asian, Berber and Muslim workers of the SNCF company at the Gare du Nord railway station:

The Israelis are the bigots, the French were just trying to please the Zionist rogue state. This is nothing new to France.

Hollande has previously claimed that he considers boycott of products from Israel's illegal settlements to be illegal and in French courts the state is trying to get boycott activists convicted of "discrimination towards Israel". 

I've followed closely and tried to participate for the last half year in attempts to get publicity for Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike.

The British media is united in an almost utter and total silence on the subject. The Guardian finally did publish a short letter from Samer Issawi - who has been 271 days on hunger strike today, by the way - but published at the same time a character assassination by it's own reporter about Issawi to protect it's back.

(If you, by the way, write "Zionist" or "Zionism" in a comment thread on The Guardian's website, your future posts will be pre-moderated after that to avoid you being able to do that again, so afraid is The Guardian of Israel. A group of Christian Zionist web thugs, the CiF Watch, claim that The Guardian re-writes it's articles about Israel and Palestine when CiF Watch demands so, and that if the first re-write isn't acceptable to the Christian Zionists of CiF Watch, The Guardian will re-write an article second time to please them. Nothing is too much when it comes to showing deference to Israel by The Guardian, apparently.)

Otherwise, silence from individual journalists, from BBC - which refuses to report about them directly, demanding that they must reach a higher visibility, "capture the minds of the Palestinian people" etc before it reports about them (BBC has 3 times reported indirectly, when Israel has killed people taking part in protests on behalf of the hunger strikers) - and from Fisk, Hasan and everybody else.

The British media, even the supposedly "radical" or "rebellious" journalists, are scared to the death of Israel, trying to avoid criticizing it and hiding it's activities as best as they can.
