13-01-2004: Tom Hurndall has died. A Vigil took place on Wed 14 . Background information here and website. |
The Israeli sniper who shot activist Tom Hurndall brain dead has been arrested. The army leadership has now admitted that its initial accusations of Tom being armoured and in camouflage, as well as its claim that the soldier was returning Palestinian fire, were lies. The arrest is particularly important as opening fire on activists in Palestine is becoming increasingly regular for the Israeli army. Last Friday Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition into a non-violent action [photos]. Gil Na'amati, an Israeli from the Anarchist Movement Against the Wall, and an American woman of the International Solidarity Movement were seriously injured. On 1 January the Israeli army fired over 100 rubber bullets aimed at people's heads during another demonstration. Approximately ten people were taken to the hospital and deportation orders were issued against four activists, including a Swedish MP. Tom was shot in Rafah (Gaza, Palestine) in April last year while pulling away children out of the way of a tank. He is currently on life support in a London hospital.

this wall is a massiv e project and the sheer cost of the thing may actually bankrupt the state of israel. they should not expect the USA to keep paying their bills forever, becuase if the economy there collapses wall-street tyle, the public may not be quite so keen after all. the whole teutonic totalitarian enterprise may be a last-ditch attempt to stave off the ineveitable; think of other, useless walls in history and you get the idea- china, the roman walls on the scotland border, and of course, berlin.

Osama is still preaching his hatred:
Do Indy media ever say anything about that, or is Bush thought to be worse?

Bin Laden might as well be Bambi , Bugs Bunny or take your pick from any disney character .
But Bin Laden is not the first "world famous terrorist" that the U.S have produced.
I guess you radical lefies don't remember me, I was linked to just about every terrorist
group in the world. Kidnapped the OPEC ministers in Vienna ....
But as david Yallops book "To the ends of the earth" explains in great detail I was set up
by the CIA . The reason being that the U.S government was very keen to make it look that
the U.S.S.R sponsored terrorism , so basically I was given a free hand to carry out atrocities
all over the world . I was wanted in France cos one day when I was a bit bored with being
an international terrorists i chucked a hand grenade into a Cafe in Paris .
After about 15 years I was nicked and not much has been heard of me since ..
In this book Yallop also covers the Genocide of Sabra and Chatila, dirty work of a certain prominent nazi .
Yallop also wrote another good book "In Gods Name" which covered the death of Calvi (ponte do fratteli Neri)
and a Pope P2 (Blackfriars) it also covered " Strategy of tension" part two of which is playing at a cinema nr you
(bologna) . Also quite relevant with the latest up surge in "government sponsored anarchy" .. pull the uvvver one
Bin Laden is not by any means the first and he won't be the last..
