Blueprint for Gaza attack was long planned

15-01-2009 11:41 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Palestine | World

The Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said he and the army had been planning the attack for at least six months. In fact, indications are that the invasion’s blueprint was drawn up much earlier, probably 18 months ago.

Gaza Protest London: Police violence and media under-reporting

13-01-2009 23:07 | Analysis | Palestine | Social Struggles | World

Sadly all British Media contributed to both the under-representation and misrepresentation of the Gaza protest in London last Saturday the 10th of January. Not only they failed to criticise the obvious fiasco of the metropolitan police who positioned barriers on the pavements leaving no way out to the crowd when anti-riot officers pushed in, they also refused repeatedly to publish photographs depicting the unjustified attack of anti-riot officers against protesters, freelancers and passers by.

American Indian activist: Breaking the silence on Obama

13-01-2009 10:48 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Repression | World

American Indian activist Russell Means said President-elect Obama was selected by the colonial powers as president to improve the US image globally in the aftermath of George Bush. On Indian lands, the only people who get ahead are those who sell out to the colonial system.

“Every policy the Palestinians are now enduring was practiced on the American Indian,” added Means.

Unusually Large Weapons Shipment to Israel: Plan for a broader Middle East war?

12-01-2009 13:01 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Unusually Large U.S. Weapons Shipment to Israel: Are the US and Israel Planning a Broader Middle East War?

The U.S. shipment ordered on December 31 is of the order of 3000 tons, an unusually large and heavy cargo of "ammunition" pointing to the transfer of heavy weaponry to Israel.

The central question is whether the Gaza invasion is part of a broader military plan directed against Lebanon, Syria and Iran, in which heavier weaponry including US made bunker buster bombs will be used.

Blue Star Rampage: Israel's dress rehearsal for Lebanon

11-01-2009 17:21 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

The reason the rationale for invading Gaza keeps changing, (from rocket-fire to Hamas infrastructure to strengthening deterrents to weapons smuggling to ceasefire violations etc) is because the Israeli leadership wants to conceal the true objective. The purpose of "Operation Cast Lead" is to conduct a dress rehearsal for another invasion of Lebanon.

Bombing to make the Gaza prison even more secure for Israel

08-01-2009 16:55 | Analysis | Palestine | Terror War | World

There are two persistent myths about the aim of Israel's onslaught on Gaza: the first that it is an entirely defensive move, a way to end the rocket fire of Hamas; and the second that it is designed to restore the army's credibility after its failure to cow Hizballah in 2006.

Peak Oil And The Century Of Famine

07-01-2009 09:09 | Analysis | Energy Crisis | Sheffield | World

Around the beginning of the twenty-first century, there began a clash of two gigantic forces: overpopulation and oil depletion. The event went unnoticed by all but a few people, but it was quite real. As a result of that clash, the number of human beings on Earth must one day decline in order to match the decline in oil production.

U.S. Backed Invasion by Israel: Stop the Israeli Massacre in Gaza!

06-01-2009 15:58 | Analysis | Palestine | Terror War | World

Shortly after darkness fell on Saturday night, January 3, Israel launched a massive land invasion of Gaza involving 9,000-10,000 soldiers, tanks, helicopters, and heavy artillery, engineering and intelligence forces, with the support of Israel’s Air Force, navy, and secret police and spy agencies. The ground invasion came after Israel, for the first time, unleashed an artillery barrage on Gaza, striking a mosque and killing at least 11 people. By the next day, Israeli forces had reportedly cut Gaza in half, “bisecting” it between north and south.

Fallujah by the Sea: Aping America, Israel Unleashes Chemical Weapons in Gaza

05-01-2009 14:27 | Analysis | Palestine | Terror War | World

The Israeli military is reportedly using napalm-like white phosphorus shells in its all-out attack on Gaza, according to the conservative Times of London. The phosphorus in the smoke-emitting shells causes agonizing, unquenchable burns, sometimes searing flesh right down to the bone.

The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War

05-01-2009 07:53 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Palestine | World

It is possible that the current conflict will provide Israel with the pretext it has needed to finally attack Iran, since government officials have not been shy in discussing the idea before operation Cast Iron began.

The very real possibility of a wider Middle East war — itself capable of drawing in the world — receives no comment from Barack Obama, who also must have known about Israel’s plans beforehand.

Israel's righteous fury and its victims in Gaza

05-01-2009 02:12 | Analysis | Palestine | Terror War | World

My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice -- even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza.
