Terrorism and state terrorism - any
difference?
From
Israel's orgy of slaughter in Gaza, to the shooting of yeshiva
students, and even to the quiet violence of the Harper government - all
in the pathological pursuit of a nebulous New World Order
ACTION ALERT: Canadians
for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) are asking that you
take a moment and go to their email web form
and join the emailing campaign demanding that the government condemn
the Israeli assault on Gaza.
Famed
Brazilian cartoonist Latuff: I'd like
to beg all viewers to spread this
image
anywhere, as a way to expose Israeli war crimes against Palestinians.
Use it on t-shirts, posters, banners. Reproduce it in zines, papers,
magazines, and make it visible everywhere. Thank you in the
name of every suffering Palestinian."
====================
The New York Times headline: Gunman
in Jerusalem Attack Identified is not entirely accurate.
... the director of the seminary said on Israeli radio that he did not
know him and the seminary did not employ Arab drivers...
So, we
are left without
even a physical description of the killer, nor any certainty as to his
identity, yet chillingly there are ominous though cryptic
characterizations and threats coming from Olmert:
Mark
Regev, spokesman for Mr. Olmert, said that “tonight’s massacre in
Jerusalem is a defining moment ... We will act to protect our people.”
I can't defend
these killings, but nobody knows who the killer was, so one shouldn't
automatically blame Palestinians. The Revava
forum quotes the Associated Press, known for its dissemination of
disinformation:
<In
Lebanon, Hezbollah's Al-Manar satellite TV station said a previously
unknown group called the Martyrs of Imad Mughniyeh and Gaza was
responsible for the attack. The claim could not immediately be
verified. Mughniyeh, a Hezbollah commander, was killed in a car bomb in
Syria last month. Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the assassination.>
Yes, another of
those
"previously unknown" groups that could just as easily be US-led special
multinational "task force" units. Apparently, the hallmarks of
such
groups include among other things: "vague details of the strike, an
unidentified Coalition unit ..." (Counterterrorism)
The US has plans for the Middle East which fall in
nicely
with Zionist aims, and any talk of "peace" is just that - talk.
And we
already know that Condoleezza Rice sees the deaths of innocents as the
necessary "birth
pangs of a new Middle East." (Time)
And remember that in a culture of war all citizens are expected to
sacrifice their lives for the cause. It isn't just Islam that
reveres
its martyrs. Every box of human remains that comes home to Canada
from
Afghanistan is glorified as the "ultimate sacrifice".
Could
yeshiva kids be sacrificed to give Israel a reason to empty East
Jerusalem of Arabs and fulfill the Zionist dream of a completely Jewish
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?
Already there are shouts of "Death to Arabs" and politicians are
screaming about calling a halt to the peace talks.
It is worth noting (underlining mine):
The
seminary is the Mercaz Harav yeshiva, a prestigious center of Jewish
studies identified with the leadership of the Jewish settlement
movement in the West Bank. It serves some 400 high school students and
young Israeli soldiers, and many of them carry arms. (APNews)
Whoever did this
was
either an Arab made crazy by the assaults on Palestinians and who saw
this yeshiva as an IDF institution, or it was an agent of unknown
"intelligence" which had no compunction about who was killed in an
effort to scuttle peace talks.
One thing for sure is that there no love loss between the settler
movement and the Olmert government, members of which have been
threatened with death by fanatically religious settlers.

Privatization advances quietly in 2008 Conservative federal budget
Last week's federal budget advances the Conservatives' long-term goals
of shrinking government and privatizing public assets, but it did these
things so quietly that most Canadians were not aware of them.
YYC: Public Values is a new and very welcome close
relative of The Harper Index.
Read the article
on the P3s
and see how the Harper government works by slipping things under the
door and running to hide in the bushes, pun intended. Note: The
new
Public-Private Partnership website can be found here.
Permanent
links for both the Harper Index and Public Values have been placed on
YYC's HarperWatch page.
