Brits Denounce Netanyahu’s London Visit
by Stephen Lendman
As of Tuesday, September 8, over 107,000 angry Brits signed a petition demanding his arrest for high crimes too grave to ignore - mass murdering Gazans last summer, part of Israel’s longstanding genocidal anti-Palestinian campaign.
Netanyahu and likeminded regime thugs are war criminals by any standard. Universal warrants should be issued for their arrests.
Israel should be boycotted, isolated and stripped of its UN membership. It military and government officials should be automatically arrested, detained, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned by authorities of any countries they visit.
Noted British peace activists, union leaders and three MPs want Netanyahu disinvited before his scheduled Wednesday arrival.
They want tough sanctions imposed on Israel - long denied accountability most of all. London’s Guardian published their open letter, saying:
“This week, David Cameron is due to welcome the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, to the UK. As head of government, Netanyahu must bear responsibility for war crimes identified by the UN human rights council in its investigation into Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza.”

US claims that Russia is 'destabilizing Syria."[laughing] "That's amazing to hear Josh Earnest talk about destabilization. The US is behind this proxy war of head-chopping fascist nutjobs, and they have the gall to say that Russia is interfering or destabilizing. What's gettting them riled up is that they are being called on their game: They are being called to account, and someone is actually standing up to their efforts at regime change. It has nothing to do with ISIS, it has nothing to do with 'revolution.' It's just another coup.
No Letup in Anti-Russian Propaganda
by Stephen Lendman
Russia bashing remains intense. Media scoundrels are in lockstep with US policy - irresponsibly blaming Putin for Obama’s war on Donbass, using Kiev foot soldiers as proxies, heading recklessly toward resuming full-scale conflict.
Facts on the ground are irrefutable. Kiev forces continue waging naked aggression begun last year, systematically violating ceasefire terms agreed on, shelling Donbass multiple times daily - including residential neighborhoods, schools and other civilian targets.
Things are very close to exploding in perhaps greater war than before. Sergey Lavrov expressed great concern, saying:
“(W)e are really very much concerned about the current state of affairs - developments…resembl(ing) preparations for hostilities.”
Poroshenko’s “crazy statements” about (nonexistent” “Russian aggression” show he’s “more concerned about supporting Russophobia in the West and thus diverting attention from his inability to fulfill” Minsk ceasefire terms.
Lavrov quoted his comments made to the French newspaper Liberation - outrageously saying “Putin wants all of Europe.” It’s hard believing anyone takes him seriously. He’s a reckless aggressor waging war on his own people.
Anti-Netanyahu Rage
Stephen Lendman
He’s a world-class thug, an Arab-hating racist, an unindicted war criminal, a widely despised fascist heading Israel’s most extremist regime in history - exceeding Sharonian evil.
Obama can’t stand him. Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin won’t talk to him. They haven’t spoken in two months.
Relations between them were strained after Netanyahu publicly challenged Obama’s Iran policy - especially breaking long-established protocol by addressing a joint congressional session in March despite no administration invitation. At the time, Obama refused to see him while in Washington, an unprecedented rebuff.
Interviewed on Israeli Army Radio, Rivlin said “I think we’ve said everything that can be said - not about the Iranian issue but about our relations with the international community.”
US Dark Forces Stoke Violence and Instability in Latin America
by Stephen Lendman
US orchestrated plans to topple Ecuador’s Rafael Correa continue. On August 17, Telesur reported disruptive elements attacked Ecuadorian soldiers and police with live fire. Eleven injuries were reported.
Last week, violence rocked Quito. Dozens of police and several journalists were injured. Correa blasted opposition elements trying to destabilize Ecuador.
“I’ve never seen them so violent, so aggressive,” he said. “Those who used violence will be punished with the full vigor of the law. Ecuarunari (movement of Ecuadorian indigenous people of Kichwa nationality) leader Carlos Perez was videotaped encouraging violence. Attacks on police followed.
It’s time to reopen the American and Iranian embassies and promote reconciliation
Franklin Lamb
At the American Embassy, Tehran
Last month's historic nuclear agreement breakthrough, following nearly two years of grueling, frequently contentious negotiations, manifests the efficacy of diplomacy conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect to solve shared challenges among states that were formerly enemies.
This achievement, according to Iranian college students from whom this observer has been learning a lot recently while engaging in far reaching discussions in Iran, and the nuclear pacts momentum, leads logically to the next step, which should include opening the Iranian and American embassies. This so our two countries can talk freely and facilitate the work of the queuing trade delegations from both countries eager to discuss business opportunities and countless other benefits, including but not limited to the fact that opening our embassies will facilitate the quick restoration of banks financing of trade deals, restoration of consular passport and other services to the more than one million Iranians living in the US and travel of American to the Islamic republic.
Dick Cheney’s Litany of Lies About the Iran Nuclear Deal
by Stephen Lendman
On Tuesday, the former vice president voiced opposition to a done deal. Obama has more than enough Senate support to block passage of a Republican disapproval resolution - by filibuster to prevent a vote or sustaining his veto if one occurs.
Cheney is an unindicted war criminal - a neocon in the worst sense, a serial liar, the leading Bush administration figure behind naked aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, a sinister evil force as congressman, defense secretary and vice president.
He chose the notoriously hawkish American Enterprise Institute (AEI) as venue for his talk - a neocon think tank with enormous public policy influence, involved in promoting Bush administration’s aggressive wars.
German, Austrian Politicians Show Terrorism, Refugee Crisis Stem from Western-Launched Wars
LaRouchePac
Sept. 7 (EIRNS)-Sahra Wagenknecht and Dietmar Bartsch, deputy parliamentary group leaders of Germany's main (leftist) opposition party, Die Linke, have blamed Western countries for being the main cause of the currentrefugee crisis that Europe is grappling with-its biggest refugee challenge sincethe Second World War. "Western countries under the leadership of the United States have destabilized entire regions by making terrorist organizations, among other things, possible and exploit them.... Anyone who turns the Near and Middle East into a hot spot with wars, drone terror, weapons supplies and conscious destabilization, is to blame for millions of humans having to leave their homeland."
Fabricated Claims About Russian Troops in Syria
by Stephen Lendman
We heard the same refrain before. It keeps repeating about nonexistent “Russian aggression” in Ukraine.
Now it’s Syria. On Monday, its Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called rumors about Russia building up its military presence in his country “fabricated by intelligence agencies of the West and some Arab countries.”
“This hostile campaign is aimed at creating the impression that the Syrian state has become so weak that it has to seek direct military assistance from its friends.”
Western Logic: War Is Peace
by Stephen Lendman
Stop Nato editor Rick Rozoff posts important “anti-war essays, poems, short stories and literary excerpts” by notable earlier figures from ancient Greece and Rome to modern times.
Their consistent theme is fundamental opposition to war, its carnage and ruthless objectives. Some current postings call “(m)ilitary glory the most mean, the most cruel and contemptible thing under the sun!” (William Black 1881)
“All wars arise for the sake of gaining money.” (Plato) “The highest good is not war but peace.” (Plato) “War’s cannibal priest, druid red from his human sacrifice.” (Walter Scott 1816)
“A shuddering lump of tattered wounds lifted up a mangled head and whined.” (Alfred Noyes 1913) “The bestialization of man by war.” (Polybius)
