Anti-Government Protesters Were Attacked by Fascists Around Israel

Fascist assailants physically attacked Saturday evening, May 17, anti-government protesters demanding the end of the war in Gaza and a hostage deal during demonstrations in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Rehovot, Kiryat Ono and Gomeh Junction in Upper Galilee.

In Tel-Aviv, a gang of Kahanists attacked former Hadash MK Dov Khenin, a leading member of the Communist Party of Israel, and his wife on their way to the anti-war protest at Begin Road in front of the Israeli army headquarters. In the central city of Rehovot the attackers yell, “King Bibi,” referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while other rips an Israeli flag carried by one of the protesters.

Following the assaults on former MK Khenin in Tel-Aviv and anti-government protesters in Rehovot by supporters of Netanyahu, a second group of protesters in Kiryat Ono were assaulted while taking part in a demonstration outside an event featuring Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in the central town of Kiryat Ono. Videos posted by anti-government activists to social media appear to show a violent scuffle outside the event, as well as people identified as far-right government supporters clashing with police.

Taj Mahal hotel chairman: We had warning

(November 29, 2008)

The Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India, temporarily increased security after being warned of a possible terrorist attack, the chairman of the company that owns the hotel said Saturday.

But Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata said those measures, which were eased shortly before this week‘s terror attacks, could not have prevented gunmen from entering the hotel.

„If I look at what we had … it could not have stopped what took place,“ Tata said in an interview with CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria that will air Sunday.

Tata was warned of Taj attack

(December 01, 2008)

Inputs travelled back and forth between the Intelligence Bureau, the R&AW, Military Intelligence, Signals Intelligence, the Coast Guard, the Maharashtra State Police and other agencies. As and when found necessary, civilian units like private firms, or hotels were given information.

For example, some time in August, the IB told the Taj Group to be careful about an attack on the hotel. It did not specify that it may come from the sea, but said it could be around September 11, and foreigners could be prime targets, sources said.

“No country can ever have a foolproof 100 per cent intelligence. We will never know about the various terror attacks that were successfully thwarted.

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General – on Gaza

(April 14, 2025)

The Secretary-General recalls that, under international humanitarian law, wounded and sick, medical personnel and medical facilities, including hospitals, must be respected and protected. Medical supplies are running low while mass casualties continue to fill hospitals.

Nearly 70 per cent of Gaza is now under Israeli-issued displacement orders or within a “no-go” zone, leaving Palestinians in Gaza with no safe place to go and little to survive on.

Nur ein weiterer amerikanischer Präsident

Dementsprechend erließ Westmoreland 1966 eine neue Strategie, die Kommandeure anwies, weiterhin Such- und Zerstörungsmissionen in den Bergen durchzuführen, aber einen neuen Feind in die Truppenaufstellung und Einsatzregeln aufzunehmen: die „Infrastruktur“ der Vietcong. Damit waren sogenannte Basisdörfer gemeint, die angeblich von Vietcong-Unterstützern „verseucht“ waren, die Kämpfer beherbergten, versorgten und unterstützten.

(…)

Ein CIA-Analyst wie Adams bemerkte, dass die Zahlen nicht stimmten. Während Westmorelands Leichenzählung wuchs, blieb Adams’ Zählung der tatsächlich bewaffneten Kämpfer in lokalen und Haupteinheiten nahezu konstant. Er berichtete, dass die Armee offenbar Unbeteiligte tötete und als Vietcong deklarierte. „Menschen wurden nun danach angegriffen, wo sie lebten“, sagte mir Sams Kollege.

JUST ANOTHER AMERICAN PRESIDENT

Cooper was the quiet man at many of the most significant events in the postwar era, including the vastly misunderstood 1954 Geneva Conference, but the crucial story in his book is his inside account of Johnson’s refusal to respond to many offers for peace talks with Hanoi. Simply put, there were far more serious than publicly known offers of talks put forth by North Vietnam in the later Johnson years when bombing by US B-52s was at its peak.

Hanoi’s only condition, Cooper explains, was that America halt its bombing before the talks began, but Johnson believed any cessation would be a sign of weakness.

Trump’s New Call to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza

Sitting alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump doubled down on his stunning February proposal to expel all Palestinian Gaza’s residents so that the enclave can be turned into a beach resort under US occupation during a press conference held in the Oval Office at the White House, Monday evening, April 7. “They took oceanfront property, and they gave it to people for peace. How did that work out? Not good,” Trump said of Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza.

Trump made the surprise announcement to reporters and agreed “I think it’s an incredible piece of real estate, and I think it’s something that we’d be involved in. But you know, having a peace force like the United States there, controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing, because right now, all it is for years and years, all I hear about is killing” Trump said. “If you take the people and move them down to different countries – and you have plenty of countries that will do that – you really have a freedom zone,” he said. Both the US and Israel have already engaged in talks with Somalia and South Sudan, among others, to take in Palestinians from Gaza.

Cops Violently Disperse Anti-War Protests in Jerusalem and Haifa

On Tuesday evening, Police in Jerusalem violently dispersed a demonstration of hundreds of activists from Partnership for Peace, Hadash, Free Jerusalem and other organizations who were protesting against occupation and the resumption of the war. Officers kicked protesters, forcibly dragged them and tore signs and drums from their hands, ripping and breaking some of them. One police officer kicked a leading Hadash activist in the head, and some protesters were wounded.

“Israel is rampaging with murderous violence in Gaza, violating every law it can find and sacrificing the hostages, while an unbridled fascist police force attacks protesters in Jerusalem,” Free Jerusalem said in a statement. It added that the demonstrators were protesting against “against the genocide that Israel continues to commit, with over 400 killed in the last 24 hours.” The organization further said, “It’s hard to imagine the price that the hostages are paying for these war crimes.”

Three people were arrested as hundreds of people protested the renewal of the fighting in two demonstrations in Haifa. Police forcibly dispersed the protesters at the German Colony. Haifa cops snatched signs and banners and attacked protestors, and at least one was beaten brutally during her arrest.

“I left the wonderful bookstore of Ahmad and Mahmoud Muna, which was raided by the police earlier this week.

‚He‘s Building a Concentration Camp‘: Fears Grow as Images Emerge of Offshore Prison at Gitmo

(February 9, 2025)

Fears are growing that the offshore U.S. detention facilities at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are an ominous sign of what President Donald Trump has in store as he further disregards the rule of law and normalizes actions that previously would have been unthinkable or faces immediate, bipartisan opposition in Congress.

After the first pictures emerged Saturday of still unidentified persons transferred to the island from the U.S. mainland by immigration officials, progressive journalist Nathan Robinson was among those raising the alarm, accusing Trump of „building a concentration camp and deliberately putting it where it is hardest to monitor or enforce the law.“

So far, none of the first arrivals have been taken to an emerging tent city that has been set up for migrants. Instead, they have been housed in the military prison.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arab Leadership in Israel Appeals to Supreme Court Against Law Allowing Education Ministry to Dismiss Teachers and Cut Funding to Palestinian Schools Over Alleged “Support of Terrorism”

(December 17, 2024)

In the petition, Adalah Attorney Salam Irsheid argued that the law is clearly racist in intent, especially given the widespread persecution and criminalization of hundreds of Palestinian citizens by Israeli authorities and other entities since the outbreak of the war 7 October 2023, for merely expressing entirely lawful opinions. The law’s deliberate vagueness, and the fact that it only addresses “incitement to terrorism”—which is used almost exclusively to target Palestinians—while excluding incitement to violence or racism, highlights its discriminatory purpose. By granting broad, unchecked powers to political and administrative authorities, the law enables punitive actions to be taken against Palestinian educators for expressing views that fall outside the mainstream consensus, thereby severely undermining their basic right to freedom of expression. Adalah further argued that the law breaches the principle of the separation of powers, as it grants the Education Ministry the authority to infringe on teachers’ rights to freedom of expression and occupation, effectively requiring a determination of whether they have committed a criminal offense, even if no charges have been filed against them.

Petition to Supreme Court; Far-Right Govt Consider Bill Banning Left and Arab Campus Groups

Hadash MKs opposed the proposed legislation, calling it “dime-store fascist populism and McCarthyism.” According to Hadash MK Aida Touma-Sliman, “The Knesset is advancing two bills targeting critical students and professors, aimed primarily at Palestinian and leftist voices in academia. These bills seek to silence any remaining voices resisting the government’s policies of occupation and war. This marks another step in the fascist agenda to suppress any real opposition to the extreme right. Heads of universities, professors, and students recognize the danger of such legislation and are voicing their opposition.

On past week, the Knesset plenum, in a preliminary reading, passed a proposed law that would amend the Students Rights Law, allowing most Israeli higher education institutions to implement gender separation. MK Son Har-Melech proposed the law, which 55 members of the Knesset (MKs) supported and 45 MKs opposed.

Delays in the Palestine investigation trace back to 2015 when former ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda initiated a preliminary examination. Although the investigation met the necessary criteria in 2019, it was postponed due to jurisdiction debates over Palestinian territories. The formal investigation began in March 2021, yet no meaningful progress has been made, further delaying requests against Netanyahu and Gallant.
