Will Muhammad Abu Khdeir’s Convicted Israeli Killers Get Off Scot-Free?
Stephen Lendman
On July 2, 2014, Khdeir was kidnapped, forcefully taken to the Jerusalem Forest, brutally beaten and burned alive by his three Israeli abductors. An autopsy confirmed death by immolation - indicating burned soot inhaled into his respiratory tract and lungs while still alive. He experienced excruciating pain while dying.
On Monday, a Jerusalem district court convicted three Israelis for his murder - two minors and an adult, Yosef Ben David, the ringleader. His conviction was suspended after a psychiatric evaluation claimed he wasn’t mentally competent at the time of the killing - despite clear evidence he knew what he was doing, plenty to convict him of cold-blooded murder. Both minors are scheduled to be sentenced in January. Will judicial leniency follow - perhaps letting them off scot-free despite long prison terms this type atrocity warrants?
Zionist Power: Swindlers and Impunity, Traitors and Pardons
James Petras
We work so hard to establish ourselves and to get where we are and to have somebody (Jonathan Pollard) screw it up…and then have Jewish organizations line up behind this guy and try to make him out a hero of the Jewish people, it bothers the hell out of me…’ Admiral Sumner Shapiro, US Navy Rear Admiral who served as Director of the Office of Naval Intelligence (1978-82) Washington Post 6/16/2008
“We … feel obligated to go on record with the facts regarding Pollard in order to dispel the myths that have arisen from the clever public relations campaign…aiming at transforming Pollard from greedy, arrogant betrayer of the American national trust into Pollard committed Israeli patriot” Sumner Shapiro, William Studeman, John Butts and Thomas Brooks, former Directors of Naval Intelligence cited in Ronald Olive, Capturing Jonathan Pollard: How one of the Most Notorious Spies in American History Was Brought to Justice, Annapolis Maryland: Naval Institute Press . 248.
Introduction
Over two decades ago, Harvard political science professor, Samuel Huntington, argued that global politics would be defined by a ‘clash of civilizations’. His theories have found some of the most aggressive advocates among militant Zionists, inside Israel and abroad.
Turkey Refines and Sells Stolen Syrian and Iraqi Oil for ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
Erdogan is an international outlaw, allied with America’s rogue imperial enterprise, waging endless wars of aggression, responsible for millions of deaths, vast destruction and a human refugee flood desperate to find safe havens.
He’s supporting ISIS, US proxy foot soldiers in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, directly involved in their oil smuggling, refining and sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the black market.
America and other Western nations are well aware of what’s going on, doing nothing to stop it, aiding it by inaction and/or direct support - Russia alone intervening responsibly by bombing ISIS’ truck pipeline, transporting oil along with its facilities in Syria, aiming to destroy its operations entirely.
Mowaffak al Rubaie is a former Iraqi Governing Council member/national security advisor. Interviewed by RT International, he explained “(i)n the last eight months (alone), ISIS (sold) $800 million dollars worth of (stolen) oil on the black market of Turkey.”
Open Season on Murdering Palestinians with Impunity
by Stephen Lendman
Since October 1, the death toll tops 100 defenseless Palestinian civilians murdered by Israeli forces unaccountably.
Rogue states operate this way, disturbingly against young children, over two dozen killed, hundreds injured or arrested. B’Tselem accused Israel of cold-blooded murder.
Its letter to Netanyahu demanded an end to the ongoing carnage, including “horrific…summary street executions.” Executive director Hagai El-Ad accused him of “permit(ting) - and encourag(ing) the transformation of police officers, and even of armed civilians, into judges and executioners.”
We Leave The Dirty Job To The Turks
By Gilad Atzmon
It is far from being a secret that the EU doesn’t posses the political, legal, material and cultural means to counter the refugee crisis. But our European leaders didn’t give up, they have now found an ideal solution -- they bought their way out. A global crisis that that was instigated by a chain of Zio-con immoral interventionist wars is just about to be ‘resolved.’
The EU will pay €3 billion to the Turks to handle the refugee situation. In return, Turkish citizens (may) be able to travel without visas in Europe's Schengen zone. As we know, many of those who flee Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan make their way to Europe through Turkey. The EU message to turkey is simple -- you can do what ever you like with these refugees, just make sure that you don’t send them to us.
Putin in Paris
by Stephen Lendman
On Monday, Putin and Obama met privately on the sidelines of the Paris climate conference for about 30 minutes.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the US president “expressed regret in connection with the incident involving the Russian jet downed by the Turkish Air Force in Syria(n)” airspace.
It wasn’t cross-border as Erdogan claimed, lying about his act of war and refusing to apologize for the death of the Russian pilot, gunned down from the ground while parachuting to safety by extremist Turkmen, operating like ISIS, allied to Ankara against Assad.
Albert Einstein’s Anti-War Agenda
by Stephen Lendman
Today the most perilous time in world history - before the November 13 Paris false flag and Turkey’s aggression against Russia, with full US-dominated NATO support.
In the wake of Paris and Washington’s complicity with Erdogan’s bandit act, an article days earlier said the Doomsday Clock inched closer to midnight.
The threat of possible global war with nuclear weapons should terrify everyone. Public complacency and ignorance in America and other Western societies make the unthinkable possible. The horror of potential nuclear war looms.
November 25 marks the centennial anniversary of Einstein’s famous theory of relativity, revolutionizing science, making him internationally renown for his important achievement.
Less well-known were his views on the horrors of war - important to remember at a time events increasingly drive things toward the unthinkable - potential mass annihilation from thermonuclear weapons. Einstein deplored them, saying: “I have always condemned the use of the atomic bomb against Japan.” Five months before his November 1954 death, he explained “one great mistake in my life…when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made…"
Russia Imposes Economic Sanctions on Turkey
by Stephen Lendman
Antagonizing Russia is foolhardy. Erdogan’s reckless act is proving costly. Putin’s promised payback is proceeding.
On Saturday, responding to Erdogan’s aggression, he signed an “Executive Order on measures to ensure Russia’s national security and protection of Russian citizens against criminal and other illegal acts and on the application of special economic measures against Turkey.”
It “restricts foreign economic operations envisaging imports to the Russian Federation of certain goods originating in the Turkish Republic in line with a register determined by the government of the Russian Federation (exclusive of the goods brought into the Russian Federation for individual use in the amounts permitted by the laws of Eurasian Economic Union).”It bans or restricts Turkish organizations from conducting certain types of activity in Russia. Effective January 1, Russian employers are prohibited from hiring Turkish nationals. Current Turkish employees aren’t affected.
Moscow Says US Knows Who Killed Russian Pilot
by Stephen Lendman
Sputnik News reports Russia’s Defense Ministry says its “Su-24 pilot died because of an attack from the ground when he was landing,” adding that “during a rescue operation, (a) Russian marine was also killed.”
Foreign Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said “Moscow has all grounds to suggest that the US has obtained the exact data (about individuals on the ground involved in) firing…on the Russian pilot.” A US Defense Ministry spokesman lied, claiming “(w)e don’t have anything on this issue.” Putin remains justifiably livid about what happened, compounded by Erdogan’s refusal to apologize. Fascist despots never say they’re sorry.
Rogue State Britain
by Stephen Lendman
Britain proves time and again it’s a loyal imperial partner, participating in all US wars of aggression overtly or covertly, rule of law principles be damned.
Washington wants the November 13 Paris false flag along with Brussels violence and lockdown used as a pretext for escalated bombing of Syrian targets, not ISIS and other terrorists. Britain’s David Cameron intends holding a parliamentary vote on greater UK involvement in Obama’s war on Assad - likely this week.
He lied claiming an imminent ISIS threat to Britain’s homeland when the only thing its people need fear is state-sponsored terrorism, a false flag like in Paris.
Defense Secretary Michael Fallon lied like Cameron, saying “(t)he threat to the UK is extremely high. An attack is highly likely so we have to respond. What happened in Paris and Brussels could easily happen in London” or other UK cities.
