The Palestinian Authority gets leaked.

It looks like the corrupt and now totally two-faced Palestinian Authority is the latest victim of the leaking of confidential diplomatic documents – and alongside them, the Israeli negotiating team have been shown to be totally uninterested in responding to any of the PA’s sell off of the Palestinian family silver constructively.

They've done it again! Another week, another bullshit inquiry

When Israel announced that they were holding their own inquiry into their massacre of aid activists on the Gaza Flotilla, which happened at the end of May, it wasn’t a massive surprise when their ‘impartial panel’ proved to be a total sham. As we reported at the time, Israel predictably hand-picked a panel mostly consisting of [...]

Rotten by name and by nature.

Johnny Rotten is an arsehole. He betrayed his punk roots long ago and is now nothing more than a sad old man flogging things and selling his soul for kudos from capitalism. He recently said: I showed what I can do with butter, right?  Eighty-five percent increase in sales. I’m very proud of them Country [...]

From Derry to Gaza: no more state massacres, no more state cover-ups!

As one inquiry into state-sponsored murder ends, another begins. The former being Tuesday’s eventual publication of the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday – when British paratroopers massacred 14 unarmed civilians at a Civil Rights demonstration in Derry in January 1972.

The protesters marched, in soaring temperatures, on a lengthy route around the city, going past both the US Consulate and Bute House, the official residence of the First Minister. The demo was noisy [...]

Taking a knife to a gun fight

Over at the Israeli Defence Force Propaganda Mouthpiece Spokesperson blog, they’ve put up pictures of the dangerous tools weapons and knives used by activists to defend themselves against attack by Israeli naval commandos. Here’s a devastating collection of stuff you would need on a boat use to overthrow one of the most heavily armed states [...]

At 4am this morning, armed commandos from the Israeli army (IDF) stormed a convoy of boats owned by the Viva Palestina aid organisation, killing at least 19 and injuring at least 50. The boats were in international waters, 90 miles away from the intended destination of Gaza, and contained activists that hoped to deliver aid [...]
