News for 06-07-06

06-07-06 - It was June 8, 1967 a day 34 American sailors were killed and scores more injured. Will anything be mentioned in the press about this (except for of course the small blurb in the "Today in history" article)?

06-07-06 - Today in history - June 8 In 1967, 34 U.S. servicemen were killed when Israeli forces raided the Liberty, a Navy ship stationed in the Mediterranean. ( Israel called the attack a tragic mistake.) A perfect example of the fact that the Associated Press is a mouthpiece for Israel - that they include ISRAEL's point of view in that blurb, and NOT the SURIVORS of Israel's ATTACK who are US MILITARY. I suppose we should be grateful that they mentioned it at all.


06-07-06 - The Occupation destroys 15 buildings in the Jordan Valley in one day


06-07-06 - Hamas agrees to withdraw militia

Her husband, who works in a government hospital, is not getting paid, and the couple has no money for rent or grocery bills, let alone tuition for children in college.


06-07-06 - Palestinians Reject Israeli Smuggling Claims


06-07-06 - Crossing the Green Line: Birthright nixes woman with West Bank plans That's because the woman, a 26-year-old resident of California, was dropped from the program last week when birthright officials learned that after participating in their program, she planned to join another group in a trip through the Palestinian territories.


06-07-06 - Voices from under Occupation Americans need to know that the unjust conditions under which Palestinians live, grow up, and die have been, and are still being made possible through the support Israel receives from the US government.


06-07-06 - US: Israel trip may cost state employee his job Trips to Israel don't cost US government officials their jobs. It's quite the opposite; it ENSURES the backing of the Israeli lobby, and thus makes it HIGHLY likely that they will stay put or be elected.

06-07-06 - Recipe for war: Israeli hysteria and imperial logic The Israeli lobby sees the development of Iran?s nuclear program as a convenient timetable for war, a golden opportunity to weaken or destroy Israel?s enemies in Tehran and settle Israel?s strategic horizon for a generation, preferably by goading others (the US) to do the job. Unlike its relatively coy public position in pushing the US war on Iraq, Israel?s warmongering against Iran has been unabashed and relentless. Bush has also been explicit in linking Iran?s nuclear development to Israel?s security. He has pledged on more than one occasion to protect Israel from Iranian attack.

The Israeli lobby is the problem here.


06-07-06 - IDF suicide may have planned to kill Arabs The investigation into the apparent suicide of an American immigrant soldier in a West Bank mosque early Tuesday morning picked up speed on Wednesday with the Military Police saying it was investigating "every scenario," including the possibility that Yisrael Reinman, 28, initially entered the mosque not to commit suicide but to murder Palestinians. No sooner had I written the bit about Baruch Goldstein from tonights' news, now this... It's very possible that this guy didn't plan on the mosque being empty.


06-07-06 - DeLay says departure disrupts Dems' strategy Besides advocating support for conservative causes and Israel, DeLay also plans to continue fundraising for a community of foster children that he and his wife established. Delay is a Christian Zionist; an Israel-firster.

06-07-06 - US-born Israeli soldier found dead I can't help by be cynical when I wonder if this man, like America-born Israeli-emigre Baruch Goldstein, was hoping the mosque was full of Palestinian Muslims when he opened fire. And also as I have asked before, is there something wrong with joining the US ARMY? Why do so many of these folks who were born HERE feel the need to serve in the military of a FOREIGN country?
