Neocons Fume Over US Boat to Gaza

At the behest of Tel Aviv and Washington, Greek authorities stopped a small flotilla from sailing to Gaza in a challenge to Israel’s four-year blockade of the narrow strip of land and its 1.6 million people. Now, apologists for Israel’s right-wing Likud government are heaping scorn on the passengers, as Ray McGovern notes.

Israel: The New Government Line

The Fine Gael/Labour government has dumped Fianna Fail’s critical attitude to Israeli excesses and instead turns a blind eye, even as Israeli Special Forces sabotage the MV Saoirse, threatening the lives of Irish citizens in the Gaza relief flotilla. The government response has been about as terrifying as the proverbial dead sheep.

Children not exempt from widespread torture in Israeli detention

Sleep-deprived and suffering from a broken leg, 16-year-old Muhammad Halabiyeh endured days of torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers and police officers, who punched him repeatedly in the face and abdomen, shoved needles into his hand and leg and threatened the Palestinian teenager with sexual abuse.

Palestine’s last village faces bulldozers to make way for Jewish holiday homes

Lifta to make way for Jewish holiday homes

Jonathan Cook reports on plans by Israel to demolish the Palestinian village of Lifta, near Jerusalem, in order to build holiday homes for wealthy foreign Jews and to erase for Israelis “all troubling reminders of an earlier Palestinian presence”.

Alert from the Steering Committee of the Tahrir

We have cause to believe that there may be further harm done to the Tahrir, and we know that the Greek State has been usable to prevent sabotage of at least one other flotilla boat in Greek waters.

Greece Now Complicit in Illegal Israeli Siege

The US boat, The “Audacity of Hope” set sail yesterday for Gaza. Within minutes it was surrounded by heavily armed Greek commandos, who eventually boarded the ship forcing it to immediately turn back to port. At the same time the Canadian boat the “Tahrir” was being boarded and their paperwork confiscated. Additionally all other boats had armed Greek police and Coast Guard personnel guarding the ships to keep them from leaving port. The Greek Announcement on the Flotilla can be read below. It is now clear that the siege on Gaza extends to Greece and its islands.

Feeding the brave flotilla to Israel’s slavering attack-dogs

Stuart Littlewood views the British government’s unwillingness – as evident from the statements of its ministers in Parliament – to support its citizens' right to go about their lawful business delivering humanitarian aid to besieged Gaza and to protect them from Israeli threats to slaughter them on the high seas.

Washington Okays Attack on Unarmed US Ship

The Obama administration appears to have given a green light to an Israeli attack on an unarmed flotilla carrying peace and human rights activists — including a vessel with 50 Americans on board — bound for the besieged Gaza Strip. At a press conference on June 24, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized the flotilla organized by the Free Gaza Campaign by saying it would "provoke actions by entering into Israeli waters and creating a situation in which the Israelis have the right to defend themselves."

European Spring: The Gradual Demise Of Capitalism

In the face of the current disaster of the capitalist system, one can ldetermine that capitalism's ideology, its promises for societal well-being, were false from the start. One can no longer defend capitalism in good faith. Marx was right, over a century and a half ago: capitalism has hung itself in its excess, in its greed for more and more and more.

Brainwashing the polite, professional and British way

In Britain as in America, the object of training professionals in everything from banking to the media is to produce a class of “managers” who instinctively muffle dissent — even if no one tells them to do so.

Facism still persists--- albeit, in Zionism

The world was wrong in its perception of fascism. It mistakenly believed that in the fall of the Nazis in World War II, fascism died a natural death. In fact, it survived in its new avatar — Zionism. And, like the ugly heads of Medusa, the scourge reared its own in Israel in 1967, more than 20 years after the second Great War ended.

Welcome to the violent world of Mr. Hopey Changey

Libya is the immediate opportunity. The Nato attack on Libya, with the UN Security Council assigned to mandate a bogus "no fly zone" to "protect civilians", is strikingly similar to the final destruction of Yugoslavia in 1999. There was no UN cover for the bombing of Serbia and the "rescue" of Kosovo, yet the propaganda echoes today. Like Slobodan Milosevic, Muammar Gaddafi is a "new Hitler", plotting "genocide" against his people

Is another European empire collapsing before our eyes?

The history of Europe is one of successive collapsed empires. Some, such as the Roman, Holy Roman, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires, simply overextended themselves and collapsed due to nationalist uprisings coupled with domestic political and economic inertia. Others, like the German Nazi, Soviet, Italian fascist, Napoleonic French, Spanish, and Portuguese empires collapsed as a result of their military aggression and incessant subterfuge from external forces.

IMF chief Strauss-Kahn caught in "Honey Trap"

Strauss-Kahn had enemies in high places, too, which is why this whole matter stinks to high-Heaven.

The IMF chief clearly had a leg-up on Sarkozy who has been battered by a number of personal scandals and plunging approval ratings.
