Philip Alston, the U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, is visiting Rio de Janeiro to meet with political representatives, humans rights groups and family members of people killed by police forces. Today, after a meeting with political representatives, I had a chance to give Mr. Alston two original artworks I made today about Gaza strip humanitarian crisis:

I said to Mr. Alston that I knew he was in Brazil to check denunciations of extra-judicial killings commited by Rio's police, but I offered cartoons as a quick reminder about the arbitrary executions commited by Israel in Palestine. Yes, I know this is only a drop in a whole ocean, but...anyway, it was sincere. For the love I have for the brave Palestinian people.

UN Rapporteur: Israel Worst Colonial Regime

09.11.2007 13:07

Israeli Extremists love this condemnation (just not the publicity), because like all sociopathic Fascists, they measure their power in how much they can get away with.


Ziegler: Israel is the worst colonial regime

NEW YORK, (PIC)-- Jean Ziegler, the UN special rapporteur on right to food, castigated the Israeli occupation and described it as the only "colonial regime" which refuses to abide by any international law, calling on the UN to adopt an effective policy forcing Israel to respect human rights and the Geneva Convention.

"The Israeli occupation is a colonial regime and an illegal military occupation from the UN's point of view, it continues to annex more Palestinian lands; and thus the Israeli occupation is the worst in the history of colonialism," Ziegler stated in a TV interview.

The UN official underlined that the Israeli occupation is causing starvation, physical and psychological oppression to the Palestinian people, but he noted that there is Palestinian resistance, questioning the reason behind the EU's complicity with the Israeli occupation and why US funds are protecting this occupation.

The rapporteur described the EU countries as completely "hypocritical" because they refused the results of democratic elections supervised by them after they saw that the winner is Hamas, pointing out that the Europeans should have the bare minimum of principles.

Ziegler pointed out that the human situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is deteriorated, because the UN statistics revealed that 65 percent of the population of the West Bank are suffering from malnutrition; besides, the Gaza Strip, which is inhabited by more than 1.5 million people has turned into a big prison as a result of the Israeli siege imposed on it.

He also described the Quartet on the Middle East as a mere shop front, calling on the UN and the EU to withdraw from it as long as their presence in this Quartet is meaningless and useless.

As a validation for what the UN special rapporteur had stated about the suppressive policies of the Israeli occupation, the IOA started on Sunday to reduce the allocations of fuel supplies to the Gaza Strip under the Israeli government's resolution which considers the Gaza Strip as a "hostile entity".

The spokesman for Israeli war minister Ehud Barak told AFP that the reduction in the fuel supplies to Gaza will begin as of Sunday and that there will be frequent power outages in the next few days.

Support Jewish Families Leaving Israel

22.12.2007 02:34

Latuff must not be one-sided...Many non-American families of Jewish origin find themselves locked in Israel having no money to finance their departure and new identities. These people have never seen the Zionism in action, only life in Israel has opened their eyes. They vomit Judaic racism and they are horrified by extermination of Palestinian people but they cannot fight their racist tribal brothers and sisters ... The memory of Holocaust is heavy...Ex-Jews do not blow up themselves in the Tel-Aviv supermarkets because they vomit racists. But teenagers are less responsible and more sensible to the USA-Israel going on murder party. May United Nations find money to bring such families b.e. to South Africa where racism is forbidden by law and where they may get new names, new identities - and begin new life?..They do not want to have blood of Palestinian and Jewish children on their hands.
