The hacktivist group Anonymous is angry at Israel, and not just for launching deadly airstrikes on Gaza. Members say the Israeli government “crossed a line in the sand” when it threatened to sever internet and other telecommunications in Gaza.
In a press statement published online, Anonymous issued a warning to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and the Israeli government, ordering them to not shut down the internet in the occupied territories and to cease and desist from their“terror upon the innocent people of Palestine.”

TRIPOLI, July 10 (Xinhua) — Libyan Prime Minister al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi has urged UN intervention to stop NATO military attacks against the north African country, local media reported.
Al-Mahmoudi made this appeal when meeting Saturday with Abdel Elah al-Khatib, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s special envoy for Libya.
NATO’s intensive airstrikes have caused a great number of civilian casualties, in violation of the UN Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 on Libya, the official JANA news agency quoted al-Mahmoudi as saying.
According to the Libyan government, three months of NATO airstrikes had killed more than 800 people and injured more than 4,700 in the country.

The international arrest warrant issued against Libya’s Muammar al-Gaddafi by the International Criminal Court (ICC) will add a new complexion to the Libyan crisis. The stalemate that the military option has caused isn’t going away soon nor will Gaddafi’s overthrow happen soon, given the dogged determination with which his forces are fighting despite the damaging airstrikes by NATO.

Facts are wonderful things, ignore them at all cost:
“Was the decision taken [by NATO] that killing civilians here would save others elsewhere?” — ‘Libya: Funerals fuel controversy over Nato airstrikes‘, Jeremy Bowen, BBC News Website, 22 June 2011
When I first heard this report by Bowen on 22/6/11 I couldn’t believe my ears! Here is the much vaunted objectivity of the BBC revealed for what it’s worth, nothing, nothing at all. Does Bowen really listen to what he himself said? Kill little children here so that these little children won’t kill people elsewhere?

NATO airstrikes on Libyan capital, Tripoli, killed at least 19 civilians over the past 24 hours, the Libyan state television reported.
NATO warplanes stepped up their bombing of government facilities in Tripoli on Tuesday in an attempt to speed up the ouster of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
‘Nineteen civilians were killed and 150 were injured as a result of NATO strikes on Tripoli and its environs,’ the Jamahiriya television reported late on Tuesday.
NATO said in a statement that the airstrikes targeted exclusively military facilities and weaponry that Gaddafi regime uses to ‘harm the Libyan people.’
The revolt, which began in mid-February in Libya against Gaddafi’s forty-year rule, has already claimed thousands of lives, with Gaddafi’s troops maintaining their combat capabilities despite NATO airstrikes against them.
Fourteen of the 28 NATO countries are taking part in the operation Unified Protector in Libya, which includes airstrikes, a no-fly zone and naval enforcement of an arms embargo in response to attacks on civilians.
Russian ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said on Tuesday that NATO operations in Libya are only aimed at bringing down the Gaddafi regime.
Rogozin said Russia would formally ask NATO to clarify reports about an imminent ground operation in Libya during a NATO-Russia Council meeting on Wednesday.
