News for 11-03-06

11-03-06 - Israeli troops open fire on women outside mosque This incident reminds me of this 2002 video made by Orla Guerin of the BBC. It shows Israeli tanks opening fire on the crowd of peaceful international protestors. One of the tanks then chases Guerin down an alley.


11-03-06 - Israeli troops fire on women in mosque siege Two boys, one aged 15, the other 16, were also among the crowd and were injured, both in the lower leg. A Palestinian cameraman was also shot in the chest and was seriously ill in hospital.

11-03-06 - Reuters video-Gaza women shot They were on the streets to demand the release of 60 Palestinian gunmen holed up inside a mosque.


11-03-06 - Gaza women killed in mosque siege One of the women told the BBC they had dressed the militants in women's clothes to help them escape.
The Israeli military said the women were used as "human shields" and that there had been armed men in the crowd.
Which is why they were shot as they were marching TO the mosque (ie, TOWARDS the tank and mosque, not away)? Mmmm k. And I didn't see any men in that Reuters footage. That bit sounds like a load of baloney.

11-03-06 - The Neocons, Undaunted The Israelis are reportedly blackmailing us into a strike by declaring that they'll do it if we don't. And that's what this is all about. John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt are quite correct in noting that Israel's American lobby is in the forefront of the "let's bomb Iran" contingent, just as they were in the case of Iraq, and Muravchik's analysis perfectly reflects the Israeli perspective. These neocons need to be neutralized, contained and then brought to justice for deliberately deceiving the American people (into supporting the Iraq war). They are at it again.


11-03-06 - Gaza civilians strain under weight of Israeli attacks "This morning they killed one of our neighbors, Diab Bassiuni, on the corner of the street. He went out to get some water and they killed him. He was 70 years old. He wasn't armed,"

The e-mail, dated Oct. 23, included a letter written by Rabbi Shea Hecht of Brooklyn. "At this moment, we need to show our support for Rick Santorum," Hecht wrote. "This goes beyond politics."

11-03-06 - Bethlehem Christians flee tensions The BBC decides to blame the Muslims, when other appeals by these Christians have put the blame on Israel - whose wall (among other restrictions) is strangling Bethlehem and cutting off much-needed tourist dollars. That, along with the article alleging that there were men in the crowd of female protesters when the IDF opened fire (when there are none in either the video of said event, nor are there any in the photos), should clue you in on the BBC's spin. They won't release this report because their bias is not in favor of Palestinians (as some allege), but rather in favor of Israel.

For them, winning an election is more important than protecting the bipartisan consensus of support which Israel has received in Congress for almost 60 years from people like Jim Davis. You want to get elected to Congress? You must bow down and grovel to Israel.


11-03-06 - Tel Aviv U. funding threatened? Issue roils tight Illinois election "Bob Schrayer calls himself pro-Israel?" the e-mail continues. "Hard to believe that he can make the claim while working to defeat the MOST pro-Israel voice on the Hill? Mark Kirk. We understand that Schrayer hates Bush? that has NOTHING to do with Mark Steven Kirk. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
