16 Years Ago. 7 April 1994: The US was behind the Rwandan Genocide: Installing a US Protectorate in Central Africa By Michel Chossudovsky
From the outset of the Rwandan civil war in 1990, Washington’s hidden agenda consisted in establishing an American sphere of influence in a region historically dominated by France and Belgium. America’s design was to displace France by supporting the Rwandan Patriotic Front and by arming and equipping its military arm, the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) Continue reading

Israeli Occupation Archive: Communal Groups Mobilize Against ‘Delegitimizers’ of Jewish State
As always, the organized Jewish Community first tries to label us “anti-Semites” or “Self-Hating Jews,” but this doesn’t work nearly as well these days. Since the completion of the Reut ‘study’ — a consulting project conducted by propaganda experts for the Netanyahu government — the new term, “delegitimizers,” is in vogue. Much like the others,… Continue reading

NO2ID Supporters’ Newsletter No. 146 – 8th April 2010: SHARPEN YOUR PENS!
Despite recruiting just a few thousand guinea-pigs so far, the Home Office still intends that *everyone* will be fingerprinted and indexed on a central database – whether or not that involves an ID card.

No Such Thing As Israeli Nationality
Israel refused to recognize an Israeli nationality at the country’s establishment in 1948, making an unusual distinction between “citizenship” and “nationality.” Although all Israelis qualify as “citizens of Israel,” the state is defined as belonging to the “Jewish nation,” meaning not only the 5.6 million Israeli Jews but also more than seven million Jews in… Continue reading

Promoting Human Rights: Haiti's Resurrection By Mark Schuller
Today is Easter, an important symbol of rebirth. Christians everywhere rejoice in the victory over death. In Haiti the faithful celebrate in ra-ra bands, processions in the street led by a brass band, often hand-fashioned instruments. Children fly hand-made kites, symbolizing the resurrection and hope.

Gaza Friends: One last plea before we sail
We are hard at work collecting the cargo… cement, books for children and universities, paper for printing books, water filtration equipment, and medical equipment, all being denied the people of Gaza by Israel’s brutal blockade.

The assault on Marjah was intended and presented as a warm-up exercise for the campaign in Kandahar province and city scheduled to begin as early as June, and the public relations blitz before the February attack on Marjah was of a scope customarily reserved for high-budget Hollywood releases and professional sports events.

How Israel Gagged on its own Gag Order By Gila Svirsky
This is a big story, but until today no Israeli newspapers could publish it because a judge issued a gag order at the Shin Bet’s request. But go ask Henry Miller about banned books. Thanks to the ban and Israel’s inability to control cyberspace, the story has taken on vastly greater proportions. Every news outlet… Continue reading
