Palestinian Political Prisoners Protest Israeli Oppression
by Stephen Lendman
Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners languish in Israeli gulag hell - ruthlessly brutalized for their faith, ethnicity and determination to live free, not for any crimes they committed.
Israel cracks down hard on anyone challenging its police state harshness and longstanding plan for an ethnically pure nation exclusively for Jews - with Arabs confined to ghettoized bantustans, prisoners on their own land, denied virtually all rights, victims of apartheid viciousness worse than South Africa’s.
Hunger striker Muhammad Allan may die - in a coma after two months without food, hospitalized on a respirator receiving liquid minerals and nutrients intravenously.
Irresponsible Western Media Russia Bashing
By Stephen Lendman
Western media irresponsibly blame Russia for high crimes against peace committed by their own nations, namely America, key NATO allies, Israel and rogue Arab states - notably in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Yemen and Syria, ignoring Moscow’s consistent efforts to resolve conflicts diplomatically, the only way to restore peace and stability.
World attention on the gravest refugee crisis since WW II caused by US-led imperial wars affects Syria most of all. Half its 23-million population is internally or externally displaced.
Nothing is reported about Obama’s full responsibility - a proxy war he launched in March 2011, complicit with other rogue states - using imported death squads to topple Assad’s popularly elected government.
Instead of laying blame where it belongs, Western media bash Putin. Hysterical Fox News misreporting claims he’s “co-leading” war in Syria.
HISTORIC NEWS: Finally, EU Breaks Away from U.S.
Eric Zuesse
On Saturday, September 12th, United Kingdom’s Labour Party elected as its leader and their candidate to lead the UK, Jeremy Corbyn, who has been the most vocal British critic of the UK’s serving as the lap-dog of an aggressive imperialistic United States of America.
Simultaneously, the leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s own Christian Social Union Party, Horst Seehofer, a man who, prior to his being appointed to be the Party-chief had been Chancellor Merkel’s Agriculture Minister, has now turned against Chancellor Merkel (who until now was the most powerful leader in all of Europe) and denounced her policy on the refugee crisis, and has now stated publicly that Germany should instead ally with Russia and against NATO on the entire Syrian war.
Irresponsibly Bashing Venezuelan Justice
by Stephen Lendman
On September 10 in Caracas, justice was served. Anti-Bolivarian fascist coup plotter Leopoldo Lopez was sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for his leading role in inciting months of violence and related crimes last year, resulting in 43 deaths, many injuries and destruction of public property.
He got off lightly. In America, he’d likely have been charged with sedition, convicted offenders sentenced to decades or life in prison.
President Nicholas Maduro compared him to the 2002 coup plotters - calling him “the face of fascism.”
Along with defrocked National Assembly member Maria Corina Machado and other co-conspirators, he launched a US supported La Salida (the Exit) campaign, openly calling for ousting Venezuela’s government, inciting street violence to replace Bolivarian social democracy with money-controlled business as usual.
A Month of World Decision Centered in Manhattan
LaRouchePac
Sept. 10 (EIRNS)-Manhattan will be a center of gravity for the entirety of world history, during an extraordinary month which will begin with a major meeting featuring Lyndon LaRouche and prominent guests in a dialogue with a Manhattan audience this Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by United Nations proceedings culminating in the 70th General Assembly General Debate from Sept. 28-Oct 6. On the first day of that debate, Vladimir Putin is expected to make a proposal for an effective coalition against ISIS and terrorism. Obama would address the General Assembly on the same day, Sept. 28, if he is still President then-but we have it in our hands to ensure that he will no longer be President, having been removed from office by Constitutional means.
Western Media Ignore US Responsibility for Refugee Crisis
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11 Internal and external human floods followed Bush aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, then Obama continuing his wars and his own on Libya, Syria, Donbass, Yemen and complicit with Israel on Palestine, as well as other turbulent hot spots caused by Washington’s imperial agenda.
Major media explain nothing about why people flee countries of origin for safe havens elsewhere. They ignore millions of Palestinian refugees, forcibly displaced internally, in neighboring countries and elsewhere by Israeli aggression since 1947-48. Or the millions of Mexicans and other Latinos forced north to America by economic, not hot wars. Or over a million Ukrainian refugees Russia accepted following Obama’s war on Donbass, most remaining - humanely treated, given proper food, shelter and medical care.
Support for Hillary Clinton Plunging
by Stephen Lendman
New ABC New/Washington Post poll numbers released Monday show Clinton’s support fast eroding. Whether she’ll end up damaged goods too discredited to win remains to be seen.
Maybe her disturbing past caught up with her. It’s hard imagining a worse presidential choice. Previous articles discussed her loathsome record as US senator and secretary of state - a war goddess beholden solely to monied interests at the expense of most others, especially America’s most disadvantaged. A Clinton presidency assures continuing Bush/Obama wars as well as endless new ones - maybe challenging Iran, Russia and/or China belligerently, lunacy if happens.
US Petition Drive to Arrest Netanyahu
by Stephen Lendman
On Friday, Netanyahu left London and headed home. He met with Prime Minister David Cameron, British MPs and Jewish community leaders.
A petition to arrest him got over 110,000 signatures so far. His longstanding record of high crimes demands accountability. Instead he was treated like an honored guest - an appalling display of indifference to Palestinian suffering.
A US petition to arrest him began circulating - ahead of his scheduled UN General Assembly address in New York later this month. It aims for 100,000 signatures or more before his arrival - sending a message saying his genocidal crimes can’t be ignored.
Refugees or Humanity Marching under Razor Wires
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
Besieged Humanity: From Nowhere to Nowhere
International institutions of peace and security are fraught with indifference and incapacity to deal with the emerging humanitarian crises. What led to the making of Two World Wars is happening again to repeat the history. Humanity is victimized and its freedom is barbed wired to seek help. With marked difference, refugees are often identified as “economic migrant” as if Europeans were the glittering gold mines of the 21st century economic prosperity. The EU has policies and practices but not for the Arab-Muslim refugees to come to Europe. Nobody dares to face the pertinent reality ahead of the global political changes. Mostly Muslims and highly cultured and civilized people dragged at gunpoint out of their ancestral homes into the nowhere. Sailing on rubber dingy across oceans because unwanted wars and conflicts made them displaced and unwanted everywhere.
Netanyahu Escalates War on Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
Israeli desecration of Islam’s third holiest site continued for a second day. Soldiers and police attacked Al Aqsa Mosque worshippers, terrorizing them - on the phony pretext of conducting a security operation, to let Zionist zealots enter where they don’t belong.
A longstanding agreement with the Islamic trust in charge of Al-Aqsa permits Jewish prayer only at the neighboring Western Wall, the Second Temple’s last remnant.
Israeli authorities systematically breach all agreements it makes. Heavily protected extremist settlers are escorted into Al-Aqsa’s compound regularly, ignoring Palestinian and overall Arab street anger. Clashes, injuries and arrests follow every time. Al-Aqsa director Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani accused Israel of “impos(ing) sovereignty over it by the power of (brute) force.”
