della pace e della cooperazione mondiali.
Tutti i popoli hanno diritto
all' autodeter-
minazione; in virtù di

Stop the Wall offices hit in late night raid
Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign
February 8, 2010 - Late last night Occupation forces raided the Stop the Wall offices in Ramallah. Some 10 military jeeps, hummers and an armoured bus surrounded the building as soldiers searched rooms, turning the office upside down and confiscating computer hard disks, laptops, and video cameras along with paper documents, CDs, and video cassettes. Part of the mounting repression of the anti-Wall movement, this attack on the Campaign offices comes after the arrests of Jamal Juma’ and Mohammed Othman, who were both were later released after significant international pressure. Other arrest operations are ongoing, and currently some 40 anti-Wall activists are held for their grassroots mobilizing and international advocacy efforts in Israeli jails...

Emergency in Gaza
War doctor Mads Gilbert discusses the politics of health in the Occupied Territories
By Humera Jabir
February 7, 2010 - Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse became the eyes of the world in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli invasion of December 2008. As the only two foreign doctors in Gaza when the fighting broke out, Gilbert and Fosse reported to CNN, Al-Jazeera, ABC, BBC, and CBS from outside al-Shifa hospital where they worked, allowing the world to see the conflict through the eyes of those affected. Gilbert spoke to students Friday night at an event hosted by the McGill chapter of Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. Gilbert described the interwoven nature of politics and medicine, and his belief that health is the most important foreign policy issue of our time. Gilbert’s political opinions stand out in a profession where neutrality is often the expected norm. But in his view, to be neutral would be tantamount to complicity – putting his patients in further danger. He has argued that the wall separating Gaza from Israel is a dividing line between those who have the right to health care and those who do not, and that pushing for an end to violence and the blockade of Gaza is just "good preventative medicine."...

The truth lies in Iraq, not Chilcot!
Hussein Al-alak, The Iraq Solidarity Campaign
February 7, 2010 - To Comrades of the Communist Party of Great Britain. The recent article "Why we should not call for jailing of Tony Blair" published by Weekly Worker (4/2/2010) gave a simplistic response to those involved with the campaign to have Tony Blair arrested and in some points also came across as being quite flippant. Watching Blair rehash the old rhetoric at Chilcot, was like listening to a scratched record, where once again we had to endure the same old garbage about Saddam’s WMD, the false link to Al-Qaida and the other allegations relating to human rights abuses...And whilst you simply state that abuses have "continued under the occupation", with no reference to any of the facts, for the Iraqi people the abuse is far more systematic than these simple words can even muster.The mass murder of one million Iraqi’s, the creation of five millions orphans, the destitution of millions of refugees, along with the forced unemployment of millions, under the banner of "de-Baathification", is not even worthy of a trial at the Hague but of direct justice at the hands of the Iraqi people...

U.S.-Supported Night Raids Bring Terror to Afghanis
Firedoglake |
February 7, 2010 - An assortment of American military, security contractors from the U.S., and Afghani security and police organizations that likely answer to U.S. military leaders engage in war on a daily basis and, as Anand Gopal recently detailed, are subject to targeted assassinations, night raids, secret detention centers, disappearances, and other acts of "counterterror." Many Americans have heard stories seep into corporate media’s news coverage of the Afghanistan War (or, in general, the "war on terror"). Americans know detention has been a common tool used against "terror suspects" and that certain "suspects" have in many cases been held secretly. Who knows how many Americans are aware of disappearances which terrify a population along with targeted assassinations that come from foreign military or security forces that are seeking to enforce "counterterror" measures...

Karzai eyes return to conscript army
AFP
February 7, 2010 - Afghan President Hamid Karzai says he is mulling a return to a conscript army as he seeks to build his insurgency-hit nation's security forces over the next five years. "This will be philosophically one of our pursuits as we move ahead, into the future, in consultation with the Afghan people," Mr Karzai told senior officials and security experts at a conference in Munich, southern Germany. "Right now we have a volunteer system, which means an army entirely paid for, and professionals," he said, noting, "as in other countries, Afghanistan had a strong tradition of conscript army"...
