Slavyansk is out of sight now …

5 July 2014 — Slavyangrad

by Dmitry Steshin (Komsomolskaya Pravda)
Translated from Russian by Gleb Bazov

The news washed over everyone – the hoorah-patriots, the all-is-lost-patriots and even the cold analytical types. And now, please listen to a person who spent the last month and a half in Slavyansk.

Video: Jewish mob chanting ‘Death to Arabs!’ stops cars in Jerusalem to check drivers’ ethnicity By Adam Horowitz

7 July 2014 — Mondoweiss

The video below was shot last night by Ronnie Barkan in Jerusalem. He tells me the locations are as follows:

PM residence, Hatulot square (downtown), en route to East Jerusalem (they didn’t enter East Jerusalem both coz they’re not SUCH idiots and secondly because the police used a stun grenade against then which made them step back)

In perhaps the most frightening scene they start flagging down taxis presumably looking for Palestinian drivers (they let cars pass once they see a driver is Jewish).

Justice Slaughtered by Politics: PCHR Shocked by Israel’s Election by UN General Assembly as Vice-Chair of UN Special Committee on Decolonization

7 July 2014 — PCHR

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) is shocked by Israel’s election as Vice-Chairperson of the Special Political and Decolonization/4th Committee in the UN General Assembly.  PCHR emphasizes that this step constitutes a shock to the human conscience and justice everywhere, and denial and disregard for the suffering of millions of Palestinians for more than 66 years, as half of them are under Israeli occupation subjected to flagrant human rights violations and collective punishment measures, while the remaining half have become refugees displaced by the Israeli occupation under a systematic policy that has targeted their very existence since 1948.
