The Genocide of a Nation, With the Full Support of the United States Government

18-01-2009 11:42 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Terror War | World

What is going on in the Gaza Strip is genocide, pure and simple. In all the barrage of rockets and missiles and whatever else Israel could shove down Palestine’s throat, “Israeli death squads” started moving through a Palestinian village separating the men from the women and children and then slaughtering the men, including young adults and teen-aged boys, shooting them in the back.

Raytheon campers... into the second month

17-01-2009 11:34 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | World

On Sunday 11th January, I went and visited the Raytheon campers . Unfortunately the police have been a little more heavy-handed of late, so I couldn't stop and chat for long. A bag of food was quickly hoised to the roof, and I was off... Still, spirits seem to be high, the camp grows day-by-day (see the photos), and there is every reason to believe that the campers will win this battle, and Raytheon will be driven out...

Phosphorus denial outweighed by evidence: Uncomparable pain and horror for the

16-01-2009 16:20 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Repression | World

"There are many ways to “light” a battle field. In Gaza, no such area exists anyway. There are just people’s hovels, holes and “homes.” Such as they are after years of blockade and bombardment by Israeli forces. The White phorpous is a terror weapon perfect for driving people away, “never to return.” The Zionist dream is and has always been for many, at least, to remove the native Arab population and posses all of “Greater Israel.” This inhuman weapon nicknamed “Willie Pete.” is perfect for the effort. When it comes into contact with human flesh it moves down toward the bone, tissues evaporate. Victims may survive for some time before vital organs are compromised, effecting death. Parents may be forced to end their children’s wild sufferings by shortening their lives in “other ways.”
