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.

The Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You a Terrorist
Because the government tracks “suspected terrorists” as well as “known terrorists,” individuals can be watchlisted if they are suspected of being a suspected terrorist, or if they are suspected of associating with people who are suspected of terrorism activity.

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?
Übrigens: Der BND kann uns nicht sagen, wie häufig sie Trojaner einsetzen. Das ist geheim. Das würde die Sicherheit der Bundesrepublik gefährden, wenn sie das sagen würden.

Federal Prosecutor Claims That Copyright Infringement ‚Discourages Smart People From Doing Innovative Things‘
what caught my attention is the ridiculous rhetoric from the DOJ in announcing these indictments. The most bizarre and stupid line has to go to US Attorney Sally Quillian Yates of the Northern District of Georgia:

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“.

Israeli scholar: ‘Only raping the sister of a terrorist can deter him’
Dr. Mordechai Keidar, a lecturer on Arabic literature at Bar Ilan University, is well known for his right wing views. Yet in an interview [Heb] to the Israeli Broadcasting authority given after the finding of the three bodies of Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah (July 1, 2014), he showed what he believes to be the truth about “Middle Eastern culture.”
Keidar: “A terrorist, like those who kidnapped the boys and killed them, the only thing that will deter them, is if they know that either their sister or mother will be raped if they are caught. What can we do? This is the culture that we live in –“
Interviewer, Yossi Hadar: “—Yes, this sounds bad, but…”
Keidar: “It sounds very bad, but this is a lesson. This is the Middle East.

Carnegie Mellon Kills Black Hat Talk About Identifying Tor Users — Perhaps Because It Broke Wiretapping Laws
There‘s some buzz in security circles today after it came out that a session at the upcoming Black Hat Conference entitled „You Don‘t Have to be the NSA to Break Tor: Deanonymizing Users on a Budget“ by Michael McCord and Alexander Volynkin (both of whom work for Carnegie-Mellon University and CERT) had been pulled from the conference at the request of CMU.

Kindstötungen & Co.- Kriegsverbrechen in Gaza? Israel unter UN- Verdacht
Die Vereinten Nationen haben deutliche Hinweise darauf, dass Israels Armee bei ihrer derzeitigen Militäroperation im Gazastreifen Kriegsverbrechen verübt hat. Es gebe eine „große Möglichkeit“, dass die Tötung von Kindern und die Zerstörung von Häusern durch Israel völkerrechtswidrig seien, sagte Menschenrechtskommissarin Navi Pillay (Bild) am Mittwoch. Gleichzeitig gab es scharfe Kritik an der Hamas.
