A MUST WATCH VIDEO: The Road to Gaza
A shocking expose of the weapons and their effects used on Gaza
FOURMAN FILMS directed by Paul Hanes, an Australian filmmaker living in London
January 6, 2010 – In March 2009, two activists Patrick Ward and Stewart Halforty from the London Stop the War Movement travelled to the Gaza Strip in Palestine with the intention of documenting the effects of the recent attack on Gaza by Israel. Taking only basic equipment they crossed the border into Gaza where the full horror of the attacks became apparent. This film remarkably shot in under 48 hours features interviews with the Samoudi family who lost 48 members of their family after Israel ordered them into a residential house which was then shelled. The lads also traveled to Gaza city and interviewed Dr Abu Shaban who is the Head of Burns and Plastic Surgery at the Shifa Hospital which saw the arrival of thousands of casualties during the attack. He gives a compelling insight into Israel’s actions during the attack on Gaza and raises the question that banned and experimental weapons were tested on the Gazan civilian population…

America’s Terror
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
January 6, 2010 – The U.S. assigns to itself the right to slaughter civilians and children wherever it chooses on the planet, yet howls in outrage when its protégés on the other side assert the same murderous privileges. “In the same week that Americans wrung their hands over Mutallab’s holiday season threat, soldiers from their country murdered Afghan children.”…

A year after losing a father and sons, a Gaza family copes
Rami Almeghari writing from the occupied Gaza Strip
January 6, 2010 – “Four months after the martyrdom of my husband and two of my sons, my granddaughter Lina was born — the daughter of my martyred son Basel,” said Fathiya Abu Jbarah. Fathiya is the widow of Jihad Abu Jbarah and mother of Basil, 30, and Usama, 21 who were killed on 4 January 2009 by an Israeli missile that struck their home in al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Their home was hit during Israel’s 22-day air and land attack that killed more than 1,400 persons and wounded thousands of others. The Electronic Intifada visited the family a few days after the attack (see “Targeting a cup of tea in Gaza,” 12 January 2009) and came back one year later to see how they are coping. Reflecting on the birth of Basel’s daughter Lina, Fathiya Abu Jbarah said, “My heart almost popped. What did this innocent baby do to be born without a father?”…

ISRAEL, GAZA: Holocaust survivor explains why she became Palestinian rights activist
Daniel Siegal
January 6, 2010 – Hedy Epstein is what some might see as a contradiction in terms: a survivor of the Holocaust and also a staunch advocate for the Palestinian people. Born in 1924 in Freiburg, Germany, Epstein was 14 when she escaped from Nazi persecution via the Kinderstransport to England. Since her 1948 arrival in the U.S., Epstein has been an advocate for peace and human rights. ..

A convenient bomb plot
FINIAN CUNNINGHAM
January 6, 2010 – Washington’s blame game over the lapse of security that enabled a young Nigerian man to nearly set off explosives as an aircraft prepared to land in Detroit raises suspicions over how and why the incident happened. President Obama and his aides have blasted the Pentagon and the CIA for a “catastrophic” failure in security measures. Yet – and this is telling – a miffed CIA has subsequently let it be known that it passed on information about the alleged bomber as early as November to the homeland security office, which works closely with the White House. The official bluster in Washington suggests that elements within the US executive are looking for a scapegoat to blame in order to give an otherwise incredible bomb plot a semblance of credibility. A plot which would have us believe that a Nigerian militant with links to Al Qaeda in Yemen was able to evade global US security and surveillance in an attempt to kill some 300 air passengers on Christmas Day…

A Vote of No Confidence
By Julian Barnes-Dacey
January 6, 2010 – Iraqi refugees living in Syria say they do not hold out great hope that upcoming parliamentary elections in Iraq will make a significant difference to their lives. Most Iraqis living in Syria appear largely disinterested in the vote, despite the fact that the status of refugee voters became a key election issue last November when Iraqi Vice-President Tariq al-Hashimi vetoed the country’s election law on the grounds that it had not given refugees enough seats in the next parliament. “What difference will the election make to me?” Ayad Hussein, a 28-year-old refugee from Baghdad now living in Saida Zeinab, a Damascus suburb largely populated by Iraqi refugees, asked. “I’ve been here for three years and the Iraqi government has done nothing for me.”…

Gaza: tragic smile
Eva Barlett, In Gaza
January 6, 2010 – Nidal crouches by the front door, looks up and smiles with bright eyes as we walk past. Bright eyes, a large grin, and that is all. Nothing strikes me as unusual in the ten year old when he doesn’t leap up to greet us as most kids do. Maybe he is pre-occupied with his thoughts, an unseen toy. Maybe he is tired. Only when we come back out of the bombed-out house 30 minutes later do I notice he is still crouched in the same hunched position, still quiet. He sees us and again flashes a bright grin. Irresistible. “He doesn’t speak,” says his grandfather, Saleh Abu Leila. “And he can’t walk normally. In fact, his mind is gone,” he says, summarizing Nidal’s state post-war on Gaza…

Yemen official tells AP US troops not wanted
By LEE KEATH
January 6, 2010 — As Yemen becomes the new front in the war on terror, its leaders want this to be clear: It does not intend to become another Iraq or Afghanistan with thousands of U.S. troops on the ground. Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi drew some red lines Wednesday in its burgeoning alliance with Washington against al-Qaida, telling The Associated Press that Yemen welcomes U.S. and foreign troops for training, intelligence and logistical support.
“But not in any other capacity,” he said, adding, “there is a lot of sensitivity” among Yemenis about foreign combat troops…

Remembering Arafa Abd El Dayem and the emergency workers, today, everyday
Eva Barlett, In Gaza
January 6, 2010 – On this day [4 January] one year ago, 4 Palestinian paramedics were assassinated by Israeli forces. By the end of the Israeli massacre of Gaza, 16 emergency workers had been killed by Israeli soldiers, all while performing their duties, all in contravention of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Another 57 were injured by Israeli attacks. At least 16 ambulances were damaged with at least nine completely destroyed. Arafa Abd El Dayem was killed in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, as he and other paramedics and emergency workers answered the call of civilians targeted by an Israeli missile strike. Although wearing their universally identifiable medic uniforms and with clearly marked ambulances, Israeli tanks fired a flechette bomb at the group of rescuers and injured civilians…

Reagan’s Ghost: Starwars Stops START
by Eric Walberg
January 6, 2010 – Russian confidence that US President Barack Obama might represent a fundamental change in the direction of US foreign policy is fast eroding. Even pro-Western analyst Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Centre reflects, “The people who see Russia as a problem are still at the Pentagon,” and he predicts that even if Obama lasts another seven years, the Russians are coming to the conclusion that “he may not be able to withstand the pressures on him.” The hope, as recently s a month ago was that a new version of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (SALT) might be successfully negotiated. But Obama’s two other surges — NATO’s expansion in Eastern Europe and the rush to implement the US missile defence system around the world — follow so closely the hawkish policies of his predecessors, that whatever “Atlantists” there might be in the Kremlin have been put on the defensive, so to speak…

Suicide claims more US military lives than Afghan war
By James Cogan
January 6, 2010 – American military personnel are continuing to take their own lives in unprecedented numbers, as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wars drag on. By late November, at least 334 members of the armed forces had committed suicide in 2009, more than the 319 who were killed in Afghanistan or the 150 who died in Iraq. While a final figure is not available, the toll of military suicides last year was the worst since records began to be kept in 1980. The Army, National Guard and Army Reserve lost at least 211 personnel to suicide. More than half of those who took their lives had served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. The Army suicide rate of 20.2 per 100,000 personnel is higher than that registered among males aged 19 to 29, the gender age bracket with the highest rate among the general population. Before 2001, the Army rarely suffered 10 suicides per 100,000 soldiers…

Britain lines up behind US aggression in Yemen
Ann Talbot
January 6, 2010 – Once again, the British ruling class has become the first to line up full-square behind the latest military provocation being prepared by Washington. After its participation in the wars of aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as its support for attacks inside Pakistan, Britain has joined with the US in making Yemen the next target. Washington is intent on utilising the failed attempt to explode a bomb on Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day as a pretext for further intervention in this poverty-stricken country. On the basis of reported links between Nigerian student Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and Al Qaeda elements in Yemen, President Barack Obama has pledged that “all elements of US power” will be brought to bear against the country, amidst reports that military targets are already being selected…

The Lie of Law: Courts Bow to State’s Raw Power
Chris Floyd
January 6, 2010 – …Of course, as the Nazi regime plowed forward with its racist, militarist, imperialist agenda, this “rule of law” became increasingly elastic, countenancing a range of actions and policies that would have been considered heinous atrocities only a few years before. This trend was greatly accelerated after the Regime — claiming “self-defense” following an alleged “invasion” by a small band of raiders — launched a war which soon engulfed the world. Naturally, in such unusual and perilous circumstances, jurists were inclined to give the widest possible lee-way to the war powers of the state. After all, as one prominent judge declared, the war had pushed the nation “he war placed the nation “past the leading edge of a new and frightening paradigm, one that demands new rules be written. War is a challenge to law, and the law must adjust.” — No, wait. I must apologize for my mistake. That last quote was not, in fact, from a German jurist during the Nazi regime, but from a ruling issued this week by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — one of the highest courts in the land. The quoted opinion — written by the legally appointed Judge Janice Rogers Brown — was part of a sweeping ruling that greatly magnified the powers of the government to seize foreigners and hold them indefinitely without charges or legal appeal. The court denied the appeal of Ghaleb Nassar al-Bihani, who has been held in captivity for more than eight years…

Nevertheless, from within the occupation?s holding cell I meet the New Year with determination and hope. I know that Israel’s military campaign to imprison the leadership of the Palestinian popular struggle shows that our non-violent struggle is effective. The occupation is threatened by our growing movement and is therefore trying to shut us down. What Israel?s leaders do not understand is that popular struggle cannot be stopped by our imprisonment…

Israel’s treatment of Ethiopian Jews ‘racist’
Jonathan Cook
January 6, 2010 – Health officials in Israel are subjecting many female Ethiopian immigrants to a controversial long-term birth control drug in what Israeli women’s groups allege is a racist policy to reduce the number of black babies. The contraceptive, known as Depo Provera, which is given by injection every three months, is considered by many doctors as a birth control method of last resort because of problems treating its side effects. However, according to a report published last week, use of the contraceptive by Israeli doctors has risen threefold over the past few years. Figures show that 57 per cent of Depo Provera users in Israel are Ethiopian, even though the community accounts for less than two per cent of the total population…
