Gideon Levy: World Must Interfere in Israel's Internal Affairs!

The new world will eventually tell Israel: Stay in the occupied territories, but give all of its residents equal rights and justice. What will Israel say then? Interference in its internal affairs? Foreign intervention? You've got to be kidding! Of all of Israel's complaints against the world, one is especially brazen: Goodness gracious, the world is 'meddling' in the Jewish state's internal affairs: When US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she understands what's happening here, and it reminds her more of Iran than Israel, the Zionist response has been: "It would be better for the public's representatives to direct their attention to what is happening in their own countries." as Environmental Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan put it. When Europe becomes outraged over hate crimes in Israel, the brazen response is the Europeans adopted the lowest of resolutions in taking Israel to task, and when the world takes an interest in Israel's policy toward refugees and migrant workers, this prompts a demand for an end to foreign interference, as Ronen Shoval,the founder of the right-wing organization Im Tirtzu said. Israel may be the last country on earth with the right to be outraged over foreign interference. Since its founding, Israel has not ceased working around the world to bring Jews here, it has clandestinely carried out underground subversive activity among shady regimes, it has openly preached abroad for Jews to leave their native lands and immigrate here, it has clandestinely carried out underground subversive activity among shady regimes, it has openly preached abroad for Jews to leave their native lands and immigrate here, or at least send financial support, and Israel has moved heaven and earth against manifestations of anti-Semitism and supports parallel alternative Jewish and Zionist educational systems around the world. It is also a country that simultaneously calls on the world to maintain the blockade of Gaza, because of Hamas' rise to power there. Israel has acted in Lebanon and elsewhere in support of one communal faction against another. It has not ceased to meddle in the internal affairs of foreign countries and entities, so of all countries, it should not be heard to complain about foreign interference.

US Engineered Sanctions No Coup De Grace For Iran!!i

In a 'dramatic move' which was apparently contrary to his desire, US President Barack Obama on Saturday signed into law tough new sanctions against Iran, targeting the country's Central Bank and financial sector in a bid to administer an economic "coup de grace' against Iran. Foreign firms are now to make a choice between doing business with the Iranian financial sector and Central Bank or the US economy and financial sector. In signing the bill, Obama harbored some secret fear that such an act would would skyrocket the oil prices, and that it would be terminally detrimental to the ailing economy of Washington as well as to the global economy. Needless to say, such a measure was encouraged and propelled by the warmongers in the White House and the powerful Zionist lobby. The UN Security Council has already imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran for 33 years, inflicting adverse damage on the economy, albeit with no determining impact on the political approach of the country. However, decades of of anti-Iran US-engineered sanctions have failed to stall the progress of the Islamic country, which is moving towards self-sufficiency in all economic spheres. Therefore, Washington officials have been ill advised in believing that by slapping more sanctions on Iran, they will be able to bring to its knees a nation who adheres to their ideology of no submission!

Agence France-Presse: Iran Shrugs at Looming EU Oil Bant y

Iran on Thursday played down the impact of new Western sanctions targeting its vital oil sector, after European diplomats said they have reached preliminary agreement on an EU oil ban from the Islamic republic. The National Iranian Oil Company said demand was so high for Iranian oil that it would have no trouble selling it elsewhere. "We hope that Iran's oil is not sanctioned officially, but if so, we have taken the needed agreements," the company's director of international affairs, Mohsen Qamsari was quoted as saying in a report on Iran's oil ministry website. The 27-nation European Union has struck "an agreement in principle" to ban Iranian oil imports, an EU diplomat in Brussels told AFP. Negotiations were ongoing to determine when the ban should start, though France said it hoped to see it announced at an EU foreign ministers' meeting on end of January. The West's sanctions squeeze on Iran stems from fears the country is trying to develop an atomic bomb under cover of a nuclear program it insists is exclusively for peaceful, civilian use. Iran exports around 18 percent of its oil to the European Union, making the bloc the second-biggest destination after China. Oil revenues make up 80 percent of Iran's foreign currency earnings.

Pravda: CIA Infects South American Leaders With Cancer!

Over an 18 month period, four "progressive" leaders of Latin America and their fellow citizens were shocked by the diagnosis delivered by their physicians: CANCER. Fernando Lugo, Luis Inacio, Lula da Silva, Hugo Chavez, and recently Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner were given this disagnosis. The Presidents of Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina suspiciously turned out on the verge of survival. Chavez immediately warned that the disease may be a "new weapon of the empire to eliminate unwanted leaders." Maybe, but oddly enough, the result was the opposite. All politicians not only did not stop their political life and moved away from responsibilities, buy on the contrary, dramatically increased their rating, and rallied around there supporters. First, in August of 2010, 60-year-old Paraguayan President Fernando Luga was diagnosed with a tumor of the lymphatic system. After six sessions of chemotherapy in Sao Paulo and Asuncion, doctors reported that the tumor was gone. He was elected in 2008 with a mandate of five years. He resigned his ecclesiastical rank and became the second leftist president in the history of that country. 66-year-old former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was diagnosed with larynx cancer in October of 2011, nine months after the transfer of power to Dilma Russef. In his case, the doctors did not operate, citing that he may lose his voice forever! 

Michel Chossudovsky: The War On Iran- Deployment of US Troops to Israel!

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been threatened with military action by the US and its allies for the last eight years. Now, the US Navy has been deployed. Iran's naval exercises, which commenced on December 24th were conducted in an area which is controlled by US Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain. Meanwhile, a new round of economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran have been unleashed, targeting Iran's Central Bank, leading to a dramatic plunge of Iran's currency. A the same time Iran has been involved in "war games" in the Persian Gulf: Reacting to US threats, Iran has declared that it would "consider" blocking the shipment of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Roughly 40 % of the world's oil tanker shipments transit the strait daily, carrying 15.5 million barrels of Saudi, Iraqi, Iranian, Kuwaiti, Bahraini, Qatari and United Emirates crude oil, leading the United States Energy Information Administration to label the Strait of Hormuz "the world's most important oil checkpoint." There is a symbiotic relationship between War and the Economic Crisis. The planning of the Iran War is being carried out at the crossroads of a worldwide economic depression, which is conducive to widening social inequalities, mass unemployment and the impoverishment of large sectors of the world population. Crushing social movements on the domestic front, including all forms of resistance to America's military agenda and its neo liberal economic policies, is an integral part of the United States' hegemonic role Worldwide. Does Constitutional Government in the eyes of the Obama Administration constitute an encroachment to "The Globalization of War"?   

Arash Norouzi: "Israel Wiped off The Map"

This rumor was fabricated by the Mossadegh Project and Global Research in January 2007. The rumor was fabricated by the American media with a view to discredit Iran's head of state and providing a justification for waging an all out war against Iran. Of course, the story was placed for media manipulation and propaganda purposes. Iran is blamed for refusing to abide by the "reasonable demands" of the "international community". Realities are twisted and turned upside down: Iran is being accused of wishing to start a war, a pre-emptive attack with nuclear warheads. Of course, this scenario is absurd. It Iran were attacked, we would be in a World War III scenario. Iran does not constitute a threat to Global Security. Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program, and does not constitute a threat to Israel. A dangerous rumor has been spread that could have catastrophic implications. According to the legend, Iran's President has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, "Israel must be wiped off the map". Contrary to belief, this statement was never made: On Tuesday, October 25th 2005, at the Ministry of Interior conference hall in Tehran, newly elected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a speech, reportedly attended by thousands, titled "The World Without Zionism". Posters surrounding him displayed this comment prominently in English, for the benefit of the International Press. Two small orbs representing the United States and Israel are shown falling through the hour glass' narrow neck and crashing to the bottom.  

William A. Cook: America's Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost!n

"Violence begets violence. Hatred begets hatred, and terrorism begets terrorism. A white ambassador said y'all, not a reverend who preaches about racism. Prophets fare poorly in their own country, yet countries would do well to hearken to their prophets. Scorn, ridicule, and innuendo attend their pronouncements, as the righteous defend their actions as logical, existential and necessary. Jeremiah Wright suffered such scorn and mockery because he understood the consequences of revenge on the innocent and the defenseless, justified by whatever inane discourse. Wright spoke truth to power that Sunday after 9/11, and the righteous cried to heaven condemning him to perdition for defaming America, for even suggesting that revenge for the sake of revenge is the motivation of the arch fiend against the Almighty, the foulest, most ignorant, most amoral rational for action. Prophets anticipate truth: They review a nation's past history and can predict its future. Witness America's past as the Reverend Wright did that Sunday morning, and what America is doing now repeats its ugliness. Wright said this about America's past: He pointed out, a white man, an ambassador, he pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he said "Americas chickens are coming home to roost." "We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, Arikara, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism. "We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel." "We bombed Qaddafi's home and killed his child." "We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to pay back for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hard working people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day, not knowing that they'd never get back home.
