Israelischer Botschafter: Unser Militär verdient den Nobelpreis, weil es nicht mehr Einwohner von Gaza umbringt

Während der Rest der Welt entsetzt ist über die in die Höhe schnellende Anzahl der zivilen Opfer von Israels anhaltendem Einmarsch in den Gazastreifen, denkt Israels Botschafter in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika Ron Dermer, dass die Hunderte von toten Zivilisten, viele davon Kinder, der Beweis für Israels bemerkenswerte Barmherzigkeit sind.

Report: All But Four Of The High-Profile Domestic Terrorism Plots In The Last Decade Were Crafted From The Ground Up By The FBI

Human Rights Watch has just published a report containing the facts needed to back up everyone‘s suspicions that the FBI counterterrorism efforts are almost solely composed of breaking up „plots“ of its own design. And the bigger and more high-profile the „bust“ was, the better the chance that FBI agents laid the foundation, constructed the walls… basically did everything but allow the devised plot to reach its designed conclusion.

Merkel fordert „schnelle Sanktionen gegen Russland“.

Die Russen sind bisher die einzigen, die ihre Aufklärungsdaten offengelegt haben. Die EU? Die Amis? Nichts. Tumbleweed. Crickets. Facebook und Twitter als Beweismaterial. Und unter diesen Umständen wagt es ausgerechnet der Westen, ausgerechnet Russland vorzuwerfen, sie seien nicht an einer schnellen Aufklärung interessiert? Nachdem Russland den Amis sogar ins Gesicht den zuständigen Spionagesatelliten benannt hat, dessen Bilder das sofort aufklären würden?

US Provides Israel the Weapons Used on Gaza

Israel has come under criticism for bombing medical facilities and news media buildings, and also for its failure to prevent civilian casualties. Truthout asked Richard Falk, former UN special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, what he thought an appropriate response from the international community might be. He replied:

[Israel] shows no sign of respecting the wishes of the international community at this time for an immediate ceasefire. So I think that the only way the world can show that it‘s at all serious about protecting vulnerable peoples – in this case the Palestinians – would be to impose an arms embargo.

Vatikan-Diplomat zur Lage in Palästina: „Sich nicht an das Morden gewöhnen“

Tomasi rief die internationale Gemeinschaft zur Verantwortung. Sie müsse „den Parteien in diesem entsetzlichen Konflikt helfen, zu einer Vereinbarung zu gelangen“, um die Gewalt zu stoppen. Ebenso nahm der Vatikan-Diplomat die Medien in die Pflicht. Sie müssten über die Tragödie in Palästina – Tomasi vermied das Wort „Krieg“ – fair und unvoreingenommen berichten. Die Strategie der Gewalt könne „ansteckend sein und unkontrollierbar werden“, warnte der päpstliche Diplomat. In einer Zeit allgegenwärtiger Menschenrechtsverletzungen müsse man vermeiden, „sich an das Morden zu gewöhnen“. Vielmehr gelte es, positiv zu reagieren, um den Konflikt zu mildern, „der uns alle betrifft“.
