ICJ should assess legal status of prolonged Israeli occupation of Palestine, says UN rights expert

 21 March 2014 – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on occupied Palestine, Richard Falk, today called for an assessment by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal status of the prolonged Israeli occupation of Palestine, and allegations that it has legally unacceptable characteristics of ‘colonialism’, ‘apartheid’ and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

  “Special steps must be taken to ensure that the human rights of the Palestinian people are protected and the rule of law established in an occupation which has lasted now for more than 45 years,” Mr. Falk said after serving six years as the independent expert charged by the Human Rights Council to monitor and report on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

 In his final report*, the Special Rapporteur also calls on the UN Human Rights Council to examine the legal implications of the occupation of Palestine. And urges the international community to act decisively to uphold Palestinian human rights.

  “Ongoing settlement expansion remains a serious obstacle and undermines prospects for Palestinian self-determination” he said, noting that the number of settlements built in the West Bank doubled in 2013, according to Israeli official data. “So far, there have been no signs of change in this trend for 2014 and Israel has already defiantly approved the construction of hundreds of new homes in the first three months of the year despite the ongoing peace negotiations.”

 The UN expert also reiterated concerns on the Wall, recalling that, in 2004, the ICJ declared its construction  illegal in occupied Palestine. An estimated 85% of the planned route of the Wall lies within the West Bank; more than 60% of a planned 708 km has been completed and construction continues. “Such a course of action undermines respect for international law and should be challenged,” Mr. Falk underscored. 

The Special Rapporteur called for urgent attention to the deterioration of the situation in East Jerusalem, which the report describes as a “microcosm of the fragmentation of territory taking place throughout the West Bank”. 

 He noted that “more than 11,000 Palestinians have lost their right to live in Jerusalem since 1996, under rules imposed by Israel.” The potential liability of companies who profit from settlements is also analyzed in the report. “The international community is starting to react responsibly in relation to issues of corporate social responsibility,” Mr. Falk said.

 “Some companies and countries are increasingly moving away from engagement with settlements on the basis of their illegality under international law; these examples are to be commended and should be followed by others.”

 The human rights expert also expressed his views on a worsening humanitarian situation in occupied Gaza, noting that “the effects of the blockade, coupled with regional developments, are having a severe impact on the civilian population of Gaza.”

  “We mustn’t forget that thousands of Palestinian political detainees, including children, remain in Israeli prisons. Among them are more than a hundred administrative detainees. Many of them are subjected to ill-treatment and torture from the time of their arrest to their interrogation in detention” the Special Rapporteur said.

 Speaking before his final appearance as Special Rapporteur at the Human Rights Council, Mr. Falk stressed the importance of this mandate to bear witness to the serious human rights violations that continue to afflict the Palestinian people after more than four and half decades of occupation. 

  “In the face of Israel’s continuing refusal to cooperate with this mandate, accentuated by defamatory attacks by political NGOs intent on undermining it, it is of the utmost importance that my successor is supported and enabled by the UN and the Human Rights Council, to report objectively on the human rights violations being endured by the Palestinian people,” he stressed.

The Special Rapporteur is scheduled to present his final report to the Human Rights Council on Monday 24 March 2014.

The latest round of US-driven negotiations has yet to engender a significant, organized response from Palestinians in the Diaspora.

 Details have emerged in recent weeks as to the shape that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s “framework agreement” is likely to take, both in reports by Palestinian officials and in columns by U.S. analysts: Not only would there be a truncated Palestinian state with significant Israeli controls remaining in some fashion, but the Palestinian right of return would be eliminated entirely. 

 Given the gravity of the decisions that could be made on behalf of Palestinians – including an “end of claims” arising out of the conflict – one would expect a more forceful response in responding to these proposals. 

 If the PLO/PA was to come to a final settlement with Israel tomorrow, and, in doing so, purported to “end all claims” of the Palestinian people, states and international bodies – even those like the International Court of Justice – could conceivably accept its decision as having been made on behalf of all Palestinians. 

 To propose a concrete strategy for popular action, some initial steps could include: Organize locally and establish popular forums for Palestinians to discuss the likely terms of any agreement, their implications, and the extent to which such an agreement would be palatable. 

 Establish and strengthen alliances and networks of Palestinians across the globe that are unified around common goals and demands. 

 Establish and communicate to the PA/PLO and international stakeholders the red lines and basic demands that must respected in any agreement signed in the name of the Palestinian people must respect.

 Identify strategies to increase public pressure on Palestinian negotiators to hold to those red lines and to pursue national goals and aspirations.

There is a growing, uncomfortably Orwellian feel to the BBC’s constant censoring of anything that Israel and its supporters may find disagreeable. 

 Among the Corporation’s attempts to justify itself we have been told that the suggestion that Palestine is not free is “contentious”. 

 It should be blindingly obvious that the belligerent military occupation of one people by another would be contentious. One side will want to justify it and the victims will want to expose it and appeal for justice. People should be free to hear both sides of any argument and make up their own minds. By setting itself up as both judge and jury, the BBC is exhibiting what seems to be contempt for the public’s intelligence – not to mention the hard-won provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention

UN totally absent from Iraq since the starvation of half a million children and about 500.000 more, except from representatives giving statements every now and then that do not save any lives what so ever!

As Sanctions Hit Iran’s Most Vulnerable, the Man Who Dared to Feed Sanction-Starved Iraq Remains in Prison.

In 1999, I traveled to Iraq with Denis Halliday, who had resigned as assistant secretary-general of the United Nations rather than enforce a punitive UN embargo on Iraq. Devised and policed by the United States and Britain, the extreme suffering caused by these “sanctions” included, according to Unicef, the deaths of half a million Iraqi children under the age of five.

Ten years later, in New York, I met the senior British official responsible for the imposition of sanctions. He is Carne Ross, once known in the UN as “Mr.Iraq.”

 I read to him a statement he made to a parliamentary select committee in 2007: “The weight of evidence clearly indicates that sanctions caused massive human suffering among ordinary Iraqis, particularly children. We, the US and UK governments, were the primary engineers and offenders of sanctions and were well aware of this evidence at the time but we largely ignored it or blamed it on the Saddam government. [We] effectively denied the entire population a means to live.”

I said, “That’s a shocking admission.”

“Yes, I agree,” he replied. “I feel very ashamed about it.”

“Before I went to New York,” he said, “I went to the Foreign Office expecting a briefing on the vast piles of weapons that we still thought Iraq possessed, and the desk officer sort of looked at me slightly sheepishly and said, ‘Well actually, we don’t think there is anything in Iraq.’”

That was 1997, more than five years before George W. Bush and Tony Blair invaded Iraq for reasons they knew were fabricated. The bloodshed they caused, according to recent studies, is greater than that of the Rwanda genocide.

On February 26, 2003, one month before the invasion, Dr. Rafil Dhafir, a prominent cancer specialist in Syracuse, New York, was arrested by federal agents and interrogated about the charity he had founded, Help the Needy. Dr. Dhafir was one of many Americans, Muslims and non-Muslims, who for 13 years had raised money for food and medicines for sick and starving Iraqis who were the victims of sanctions. 

 He had asked US officials if this humanitarian aid was legal and was assured it was – until the early morning he was hauled out of his car by federal agents as he left for work. His front door was smashed down and his wife had guns pointed at her head. Today, he is serving 22 years in prison.

On the day of the arrest, Bush’s attorney-general, John Ashcroft, announced that “funders of terrorism” had been caught. The so-called “terrorist” was a man who had devoted himself to caring for others, including cancer sufferers in his own New York community. More than $2 million was raised for his bail and several people pledged their homes, yet he was refused bail six times.

Charged under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Dr. Dhafir’s crime was to send food and medicine to the stricken country of his birth. He was “offered” the prospect of a lesser sentence if he pleaded guilty, and he refused on principle. 

 Plea bargaining is the iniquity of the US judicial system, giving prosecutors the powers of judge, jury and executioner. For refusing, he was punished with added charges, including defrauding the Medicare system, a “crime” based on not having filled out claim forms correctly, and money laundering and tax evasion, inflated technicalities related to the charitable status of Help the Needy.

Then-governor of New York George Pataki, called this “money laundering to help terrorist organizations” to “conduct horrible acts.” Pataki painted Dr. Dhafir and Help the Needy’s supporters as “terrorists living here in New York among us,” adding that they were “supporting and aiding and abetting those who would destroy our way of life and kill our friends and neighbors.” For jurors, the message was powerfully manipulative. This was America in the hysterical wake of 9/11.

The trial in 2004 and 2005 was out of Kafka. It began with the prosecution successfully petitioning the judge to prohibit the word “terrorism” from being mentioned. “This ruling turned into a brick wall for the defense,” says Katherine Hughes, who was an observer in court. “Prosecutors could hint at more serious charges, but the defense was never allowed to follow that line of questioning and demolish it. Consequently, the trial was not, in fact, what it was really about.”

It was a political show trial of Stalinist dimensions, an anti-Muslim sideshow to the war on terror. The jury was told darkly that Dr. Dhafir was a Salafi Muslim, as if this was sinister. Osama bin Laden was mentioned, with no relevance. 

 That Help the Needy had openly advertised its humanitarian aim and that there were invoices and receipts for the purchase of emergency food aid was of no interest. Last February, at a hearing following a decision by a federal appeals court asking judge Norman Mordue to consider an alternative way of calculating Dr. Dhafir’s sentence, Mordue, re-sentenced Dr. Dhafir to 22 years – a cruelty worthy of the gulag.

With their terrorist case won, the prosecutors held a celebration dinner, “partying,” wrote a Dhafir supporter to the local newspaper, “as if they had won the Super Bowl.” The prosecution had “perpetuated a monstrous lie” against Dhafir, said the letter, against a man “who had helped thousands in Iraq suffering unjustly…. The trial was a perversion of American justice.”

No executive of the oil companies that did billions of dollars of illegal business with Saddam Hussein during the embargo has been prosecuted. “I am stunned by the conviction of this humanitarian,” said Halliday, “especially as the US State Department breached its own sanctions to the tune of $10 billion.”

During this year’s US presidential campaign, both candidates agreed on sanctions against Iran, which they claimed posed a nuclear threat to the Middle East. Repeated over and over again, this assertion evoked the lies told about Iraq and the extreme suffering of that country. Sanctions are already devastating Iran’s sick and disabled. As imported drugs become impossibly expensive, sufferers of leukemia and other cancers are the first victims. The Pentagon calls this “full-spectrum dominance.”

By John Pilger, November 10. 2012 


The truth about the criminal bloodbath in Iraq cannot be “countered” indefinitely. Neither can the truth about our support for the medievalists in Saudi Arabia, the nuclear-armed predators in Israel, the new military fascists in Egypt and the jihadist “liberators” of Syria, whose propaganda is now BBC news. There will be a reckoning – not just for the Blairs, Straws and Campbells, but for those paid to keep the record straight.

Actually! Psychopaths are using twitter as a tool to propagating and inciting crimes against humanity! Hitler a Gobbles would have been on twitter as well. Or they already are..sort of speak.

 And spend time to show exactly how sick, psychopathic and criminal they are - engaged in a #¤¤#¤¤ Pogrom on twitter against Palestinians they have forced into a concentration camp for over seven years!

 The Israeli state and IDF spokespersons on twitter are not just responsible for crimes against peace and humanity, ethnically cleansing, genocide against the Palestinians, while demolish homes, shooting teenagers, bombing the Syrian army, ravaging the Lebanese border, propagating and inciting crimes on twitter against 1.7 millions of Palestinians at the same time.

 But also indeed very much involved in destabilize the whole #¤#¤¤ region. Complicit in crimes against the Syrian people, crimes and genocide against Palestinians in Syria and also very much against the Kurds and complicit in a Iraqi genocide as well. 

 And one of the biggest threat to humanity and peace - deliberately and calculated!

 And with the henchmen in the US destabilize and attack Ukraine and making Putin busy wee-wee his territorium while screaming rockets and tunnels on twitter!

 Israel is actually as tragic a state can be! "The holy land"..yeah..right a #¤#¤¤ DISGRACE TO HUMANITY AND THIS WORLD!

 Every one should really ask themselves where the hell we are going when twitter is used to propagate and create "pretext and justifications" for maintaining a siege and attack on a defenceless population under siege and attacks for over seven years! And in contrast to a explosives-laden tanker Into Iraq Police HQ!

 Actually, the psychopathy is in class with Hitler and Stalin!

"Palestinians are victims of their own." Just like every one else in Syria, Iraq, Iraqis, Kurds and terror explosions all over the #¤#¤¤ region! Remember, we have been here for a long time now! WAY before any "young global leaders" that are spreading like mass genocidal psychopaths all over the Internet and planet!




"Before recognize a Jewish state, Israel must define it and its borders."

Is it "Netanyahu and Lieberman’s Jewish state that alienates its Arab citizens, or Yitzhak Rabin’s inclusive Jewish state that dedicated itself, briefly, to true equality?"

"Palestinians are victims of their own." Yeah..Like the Jews and millions and millions of more exterminated during WWII then! And "new young global leaders" spreading like the Nazis spread theirs! About 200.000 just in France!

 More "victims of their own."

Ohhh..."IDF has discovered tunnels.".."Palestinians are victims of their own." YEAH...IT´S A WAY OF LIVING AND DYING SORT OF SPEAK!

Oh yeah.."so let´s have Palestinians electroluded, starved, bombed and massacred for a decade, like in a gigantic Shatila camp with 1.7 million people, just like in Syrian refugee camps while militants have gone shuffle traffic between Turkey, Syria and Iraq for over a decade and IDF bombs the Syrian army!" 

 AND BOMB ONE OF THE RICHES ARCHAEOLOGICAL AREAS IN THE REGION WITH YOUNG INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WITH IT TO PIECES! JUST LIKE IN THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND BEYOND  #¤"#¤¤¤ GENOCIDAL PSYCHOPATHS!

IDF has found a "new tunnel" to destroy while maintaining a huge Gaza-Shatila camp and Palestinians are exterminated in Syria, just like Iraqis and people all over the region! WHO THE HELL WOULDN´T TRY AND FIND A TUNNEL WHILE ISRAELI PSYCHOPATHS ARE BOMBING AND RAINING MISSILES ALL OVER THE WHOLE #¤#¤¤ REGION?

 Those ruling Israel and the army are as just fanatic, mass murderous, psychopathic and extreme as the worst #¤#¤¤ brainwashed Islamist extremist fanatics and very obvious fits very well together!

 "Hamas Seeking to Restore #Iran Ties to Halt Downward Spiral." 

 Yeah..that would be after Israel has used a alleged shipment of rockets from Iran as a pretext to attack Gazans again and again.

 Where do all the idiots comes from?

#¤#¤¤ Mass genocidal psychopaths will be judged by this world and the after world and the world after that! #¤#¤¤¤ ALIENS!
A "new tunnel" to destroy! Actually, this is anything BUT new!

 Israelis throwing junk at the ancient village Battir that dates back to the Canaanite era and is much older than Jerusalem, don´t really have a clue what is what...do they..The Israeli state is waaaaay to busy with genocides and destruction's...isn´t it!

 Actually, the Israeli state has ALL the ingredients that distinguish a genocidal agenda in a genocidal state and just as racist and genocidal as Nazi Germany, where every one else shall be multicultural with people fleeing full fledged genocides all over the region and beyond while Israel and the whole #¤#¤¤ region shall be Palestinian rein and Israel for "Jews only"!

The site: kavkazcenter.com supposedly to be Chechen Mujahideen´s news website is closley linked to IMKANDER - Turkish immigrant and refugee organization in Turkey, refugee camps, Chechen refugee camp in Azerbaijan, Northeast Georgia


Citing kavacenter website: At least 10 bloody Egyptian junta soldiers eliminated by Mujahideen in Sinai car bombing 

 Sinai militant said to be behind 2011 attack in Israel killed by own bomb

 Tawfiq Mohammed Freij, one of founders of Sinai militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, was responsible for cross-border attack that killed eight Israelis, group claims. Egypt's most active militant group says that one of its founding leaders was killed when a bomb he was carrying was set off by a car accident.

"Chechen refugees are waiting for help."

 Omer Bezirgan, General Secretary of IMKAN-DER, visiting Chechen refugee camp in Azerbaijan said: "As martyr spouses can not pay their rents, 7-8 people live in single room houses. Russian propagandists tell that the invasion is over but if the war in Caucasus was over, would these people bear this disgrace?"

 Fahrettin Dede, our correspondent, listened impressions of Omer Bezirgan in Chechen camps. Imran Abdulazimov, Chechen Commander in Turkey and Deputy President and Founder of IMKAN-DER was there too.

 IMKANDER Teams organize events on behalf of the war immigrants located in Turkey, Syria and Pankisi Valley located on Georgia Chechnia borders. The population of immigrant in Turkey continues growing together with those migrating from several parts of Caucasia, in addition to Central Asian countries where intensive oppressions on Islam are witnessed in countries like Uzbekistan and Eastern Turkistan under occupation of Chine, let alone those Syrian immigrants leaving the country as a result of heavy confrontation.

 Having sheltered within more secure regions like Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, the countries undergoing confrontation and occupations, the war immigrants have been happy once again thanks to the sacrifice organizations also held this year. IMKANDER, as Human Right and Benefaction Organization in regard to meeting the legal and basic requirements of the war immigrants, has organized sacrifice activities within and outside the country as has been in last year.

 Located in Syria and Turkey, in addition to Pankisi Valley at the border of Chechnya, hottest region of Caucasia, the war immigrants were provided with the sacrifice meat.

 Pankisi: War Immigrants’ Valley There are now about 10 thousand people from Chechnya sheltered in Pankisi Valley. Caucasian war immigrants mostly consisted from Chechnya people have established an immigrant town in the valley. Pankisi is a 34-km long valley located at Northeast Georgia, stretching from Borbalo Mountains along Alazani River.

 Kist People, classified under Vainakh Group live in Pankisi, where the central organization lacks dominating the region. Kist people use their mother language in their society. However, the formal language is used in education.

 The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic was established on 22 August 2011 by the Human Rights Council through resolution S-17/1 adopted at its 17th special session with a mandate to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law since March 2011 in the Syrian Arab Republic.

 Shortly after its establishment, the President of the Human Rights Council appointed Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro (Brazil), Karen Koning AbuZayd (United States) and Yakin Erturk (Turkey) to serve as the Commissioners. Yakin Erturk stepped down from the position in March 2012. Following the extension of the Commission’s mandate in September 2012, two new Commissioners were appointed - Carla del Ponte (Switzerland) and Vitit Muntarbhorn (Thailand).

Letter dated 9 October 2013 from RE. Remigiusz A. Henczel, President of the Human Rights Council,pdf

 Report of the independent international commission of inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, did not mention the grievances and gross violations of human rights, supported attacks and war crimes committed against the Kurdish people in Syria. "It is not the Islamic extremists who fight in Syria. It is Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Russia, France and USA who lead the war. These blind youths are just used in a brutal way for the brutal aims against humanity. Why Kurds have to be victim for the brutal aims in a dirty war?"

 PYD Co-Chairman addressed the EU and US: “The humanitarian situation is very difficult in Rojava right now, especially since the last year:  We are living under the blockade of Turkey, the Islamic / Arabic fanatics and Syrian regime. At the same time we got round half million refugees from different parts of Syria, mainly Christians, including Sunni and Alevi Arabs.

 Unfortunately, Kurdistan has no benefit from the so-called humanitarian help from the West. The tax payers’ money, the Western humanitarian aid, including weapons and military support, is going to the hand of Islamic groups."

 Belgian senator Karl Vanlouwe (N-VA), said that many countries in Middle East, like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran are strongly involved in Syrian conflict and it makes the situation more complicated to find a peaceful solution: "All those terrorist groups and gangs are located in the borders to Syria, mainly in Turkey and they cause the loss of human lives and many millions of people are suffering. In fact, those terrorist groups are linked to Al Qaida and those groups are in the US-EU terror-list, but however they receive direct and indirect support for their crimes."

 "We inform you with respect to the report, it did not mention the grievances and gross violations of human rights and arbitrary arrests, indiscriminate and enforced disappearances, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed against the Kurdish people in Syria by the regime and armed groups of the resistance, in particular, the calls for ethnic cleansing and bloodshed of Kurds and abuse by terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham and Jabhat al-Nusta and Free Syrian Army brigades who are co-operating with them."

 These groups have been killing and abducting Kurdish civilians and displacing them from their towns and villages, looting their property and possessions, blowing up their homes and places of work such as happened in the city of Tel-Abyad, and the towns Tel-Hasel, Tel-Aran and villages and other Kurdish towns; and have carried out terrorist operations such as booby-trapped cars and other mechanical vehicles at the checkpoints. These activities have taken many civilian and military lives.

 We also draw your attention to the fact that your report did not mention the financial and military support given to these groups by some of the countries in the region that are hostile to the Kurdish people and their issues, who allow their lands to be used by these groups which make their bases there, and create safe corridors for transit in order to perform offensive operations and indiscriminate shelling of cities and towns in Western Kurdistan from outside and inside the Syrian border, in order to destabilize security and impose foreign agendas.

 Ludo De Brabander, a Middle East Expert from Flemish Peace Movement gave facts and figures how the Salafists Islamic fanatics are receiving support from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. He told that Qatar continues to ship weapons from Libya to Turkey and from there to the Islamic terrorists. ”Turkey is not only supporter of the war in Syria but it’s also ally with those groups. France is also active supporter of Syrian war after the deal with Saudi Arabia to sell the military arms for about 200 billion USD”.

 Vranckx is wondering why Western media are so limited when they are covering the dramatic situation in Kurdistan. “Why no one sends humanitarian aid to the Kurds who are in difficult situation in fight against extremism in Rojava” he asked.

Kurdish Youth in Turkey - victims for al-Qaeda Recruits

 Global Research, November 24, 2013, What has been happening in Syria for the past three years? The United States planned the destruction of Syria at a meeting on September 15, 2001, at Camp David. They began to prepare this by adopting the Syria Accountibility Act on December 12, 2003. They tried to plunge Syria into war first by causing the adoption of Resolution 1559 by the Security Council. They subcontracted the war to the United Kingdom and France who prepared themselves via the Treaty of Lancaster on November 2, 2010.

 The signal for the commencement of operations was given by the United States from Cairo in early February 2011. February 2011 – July 2012: the fourth generation war From that date, and for 15 months, NATO and the GCC launched a fourth generation war, based entirely on their domination of the mass media.

 In March-April 2012, after the fall of the Islamic Emirate of Baba Amr, Nicolas Sarkozy negotiated the withdrawal of France, The combatants were either Syrian Takfirist (including 3000 captured in Baba Amr) or foreign professionals, particularly the Libyan members of al- Qaeda controlled by Abdelhakim Belhaj. Together, they formed the Free Syrian Army, flanked by British and French officers, with the logistical support of Turkey.

 François Hollande ’s election as French president and the appointment of Laurent Fabius as Zionist Ministry of Foreign Affairs relaunched the war. Relying on CIA General David Petraeus and the expertise of Ambassador Robert S. Ford (former assistant to John Negroponte), France signalled a new war, this time Nicaragua style, by gathering the “Friends of Syria” in Paris on July 6th, 2012. Two weeks later, a mega-attack decapitated the army by assasinating members of the National Security Council. Immediately, 40,000 foreign jihadists, supported by a few thousand Syrians and supervised by French and British officers, began the assault on Damascus.

 Recruitment centers were opened in Tunisia and Afghanistan. Airlifts were organized from Libya and Yemen to deliver tens of thousands of jihadists who came to die in Syria. As in Nicaragua, they found Syrians to support them, but ultimately they served to control the “liberated zones” rather than to fight the regular army face to face.

 Infowar - Turkey Accused of Killing Kurd Leader — Trying to Trigger Civil War in Syria

 Turkey a NATO member, and notorious butchers of the Kurdish people not only within their borders but well beyond them, including multiple incursions into Iraq in 2007, 2008, and 2010, with tank battalions as well as air strikes on “suspected” militant targets on both sides of the border, has played a role in the assassination of Syrian-Kurdish leader Mashaal Tammo according to Kurdish activists.

 Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that Kurdish Party leaders accused Turkish intelligence of assassinating Tammo, aiming to ignite sedition throughout the northern province of Hasaka. Hasaka Province conveniently shares a borders with Turkey – a border Turkey has systematically militarized in its decades long war against the Kurdish people. It is also a border Turkey is now conducting “military exercises” along in an overt threat to Syria.

 Turkey and its Western sponsors are now hoping the resulting chaos will trigger an armed Kurdish uprising in Syria against the Assad government and be the “tipping point” in an otherwise stalled 7 month-long destabilization attempt. – The assassination was also complemented by mystery gunmen who opportunistically attacked Tammo’s funeral procession, killing several attendees and further provoking Syria’s Kurd minority to rise up in violence.

 Details of the shootings were filtered through the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a notorious propaganda front whose second-hand reports are faithfully repeated by Western media outlets as “fact.” The expediency with which propagandists at BBC and the US State Department concluded the shootings were the work of the Syrian government further lends suspicion over who indeed carried out the assassination and the subsequent shootings at Tammo’s funeral – a dream scenario for Western nations bent on ousting Assad by collapsing Syrian society into a Libyan-style civil war.

 It should be noted, that out of Syria’s opposition movement, Mashaal Tammo was one of the few leaders opposing foreign meddling in Syria’s affairs, going as far as not attending an opposition confab held in Turkey on this basis. It should be further noted that of all of Syria’s minorities, the Kurds had so far not joined in large scale protests. Western corporate-funded think tanks and media outlets have been fantasizing over the prospect of Kurdish militants joining the US-funded uprising, despite what, up until now, appeared to be their neutral stance.

 The Wall Street Journal’s: “Kurds Look Beyond Assad, With Dreams of Autonomy” acknowledged the muted role the Kurds were playing in the uprising and their hesitation to make wider commitments. Tammo’s assassination may just have been the geopolitical ploy necessary to spur the Kurds past this point of hesitation.

 After months of stalled, failing armed opposition against the Syrian government through the Muslim Brotherhood and an assortment of Al-Qaeda linked militant groups, the West is exhibiting an almost palpable madness in pursuit of war with Syria.

 Western propaganda networks, including BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera and contrived “human rights advocacy” fronts fully funded by corporate-financier special interests have been caught fabricating in whole, stories of atrocities being perpetrated by the Assad government.

 One activist reported by Soros-funded Amnesty International to have been “brutally murdered in custody” turned up alive and well. Amnesty International would later reveal just how tenuous the information was behind what was essentially baseless, sensationalized propaganda aimed at the Syrian government.

 After a failed UN resolution, vetoed outright by Russia and China, and receiving no votes from other BRIC nations, more desperate measures are sure to follow, including the increasing prospect of unilateral military action taken by Turkey, on behalf of NATO and its corporate sponsors.

Gaza with 1.7 millions of Palestinians under siege for 7.5 years is not Israel´s "private issue"..It´s a International issue and the International community is obliged to follow International laws, even if the Israeli government claims it has precedence in interpretation of UN charter, declarations and International laws

March 12, 2014, The National Committee to Break the Siege and members of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza held a Press Conference outside the Egyptian Embassy in Gaza on Wednesday to demand the opening of Gaza’s borders.

 Under the banner of “We’ll Stay Free, End The Siege” the speakers highlighted the perilous humanitarian conditions now prevailing in Gaza. Adham Abu Selmeh, Arabic spokesman of the Committee, demanded that the international community act immediately to enforce humanitarian law and end the suffering of Gazans.

 In the video, English spokeswomen Huda Skaik provides a translation of his speech at 9 minutes in.

 The European Union released a report warning of dire consequences for the region of ignoring the plight of Gaza, and highlighting the economic damage caused by both the blockade Israel imposed in 2006, and Egypt’s destruction of hundreds of cross-border tunnels after the July ouster of president Mohamed Morsi.

 Emphasizing that Israel bears the prime responsibility for the situation, the EU Report said Gaza is facing a dangerous and pressing humanitarian and economic situation. It warned that if left unaddressed, the situation could have serious consequences for stability in Gaza, and for regional security.

 Meanwhile, Israel carried out a series of overnight airstrikes on Gaza, punishing the Palestinian population for the legitimate defensive response of its resistance to an Israeli incursion into Gaza territory on Tuesday morning, yet another of the 150+ documented Israeli breaches of the November 2012 truce.

 Israel followed up their border breach with the killing of three of the resistance fighters defending Gaza’s territorial integrity. This brought to seven the total of Palestinians killed by Israel within 24 hours, and resulted in dozens of resistance rockets being fired into Israel in response.

 The tens of Israeli airstrikes overnight caused considerable destruction, but no injuries. It seems only Quisling Cameron and the USraeli president still believe the fiction of Israel’s commitment to peace – hundreds of breaches of the most recent truce, and thousands of dead Palestinians over the past seven years prove otherwise.

The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology

The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology was founded in 1912, 36 years before the formation of the state of Israel, with a donation from New York banker, businessman, and philanthropist Jacob Schiff . 

 The Technion is located in Haifa in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Classes began in 1924, and from the outset the institute’s purpose was to educate the engineers, planners, and weapons manufacturers who would go on to create the Jewish-only state of Israel. The Technion quickly grew into Israel’s major weapons lab thanks to the continuation of financial support from the US. 

 According to a article on the WNYC News site: The Technion’s operating budget comes from the Israeli government, but two-thirds of all private fundraising come from the U.S. – and the biggest donor region is the New York metro area.

 Education and research at the Technion is focused on the development of hi-tech weaponry, serving as an incubator for the Israeli military-industrial complex, and developing technologies which are detailed below. Most Israeli universities are involved in one way or another in helping the military, but the Technion has all but enlisted itself in the Israeli armed forces.

 End RMIT’s complicity in Israel’s crimes

 RMIT through its Aerospace Engineering Department does research and development in collaboration with BAE Systems under the research body DMTC (Defence Materials Technology Centre). DMTC research is conducted for the Australian army and the weapons industry, which BAE Systems then sells on to Israel.
