The disinherited
HAARETZ Sat, 31 Jul 2010
What happened to the 130,000 Syrian citizens living in the Golan Heights in June 1967? According to the Israeli narrative, they all fled to Syria, but official documents and testimonies tell a different story.

The ground offensive was preceded by three days of artillery shelling and bombing from the air. Many of the Syrian outposts were hit in the bombings, as were a good number of houses, animal sheds and other civilian structures. And there were human casualties, too, of course. According to most testimony, the flight of civilians toward Damascus began then, and involved tens of thousands of people.

There is no question that many civilians joined the fleeing Syrian army forces both before and after the offensive. Many, but not all. A Syrian estimate a week after the war stated that only about 56,000 civilians had abandoned the Golan at that point.

Shalem believes the inhabitants left the villages as soon as the shelling started, but says they didn't abandon their land and apparently were waiting to return home once the battles ended: "It's a behavior pattern we'd seen in earlier conquests in the war ... Civilians flee their homes, but stay where they can maintain eye contact with the village, to see how things evolve. These were simple folks for the most part, not big politicians by any means, and in the absence of any leadership they did what was necessary to preserve their homes and property."

Shalem's account is supported by most of the testimonies of fighters interviewed for this article. Almost everyone who poked his head out of his tank or armored vehicle remembers seeing hundreds of Syrian civilians gathered outside the villages during the two days of fighting in the Golan.

Terror suspect wins appeal over control order forcing him to move away from family
GUARDIAN Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:51:12 GMT
Court rules that Ethiopian national forced to move 150 miles away from relatives had human rights breached A terror suspect whose control order confined him to a flat in a Midlands town, away from his family in London, for 16 hours a day has won a supreme court appeal. The Ethiopian national – who can only be referred to as AP – challenged the part of the order forcing him to move 150 miles away from his family on the grounds that it breached his human rights. In a unanimous decision today, seven supreme court justices ruled that his right to liberty had been breached because he had to live away from his family under the 16-hour curfew. It was the home secretary's requirement that the suspect moved to an address in the Midlands that led to the launch of proceedings. Initially, a high court judge allowed his appeal in August 2008 and quashed the obligation to live in the Midlands. There was no dispute about the need for a control order, but the judge ruled that the overall....
Israeli nuclear whistleblower returned to solitary confinement
AMNESTY Fri, 18 Jun 2010
Amnesty International has accused the Israeli authorities of subjecting jailed nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by holding him in solitary confinement.

The 56-year-old, who spent 18 years in prison for revealing details of the country's nuclear arsenal to a UK newspaper in 1986, was sent back to jail for three months on 23 May on charges of contact with a foreign national, and almost immediately placed in solitary confinement.

Journalist on the run from Israel is hiding in Britain
INDEPENDENT 02 Apr 2010
An Israeli journalist is in hiding in Britain, The Independent can reveal, over fears that he may face charges in the Jewish state in connection with his investigation into the killing of a Palestinian in the West Bank.

In his article for Haaretz, Mr Blau reported that one of two Islamic Jihad militants killed in Jenin in June 2007 had been targeted for assassination in apparent violation of a ruling issued six months earlier by Israel's supreme court.

The news of Mr Blau's extended absence comes just days after it emerged that another Israeli journalist, Anat Kam, has been held under house arrest for the last three months on charges that she leaked classified documents to the press while completing her military service. She was arrested more than a year after Mr Blau's report, which was cleared by military censors at the time of publication

The move to gag Israel-based media has sparked fevered debate on Jewish blogs, which have freely reported the story. Bloggers have railed against the blackout, saying it represents a critical challenge to the freedom of the press.

"I do not believe that a citizen can be arrested and tried for suspected security offences right under our noses without anyone knowing anything about it," wrote former Haaretz editor Hanoch Marmari in an eloquent cri de coeur on the Seventh Eye website.

"Trials do not take place here in darkened dungeons, nor do we have show trials behind glass or chicken wire.

Johann Hari: Palestinians should now declare their independence - Benjamin Netanyahu has responded to the US request with a big concrete slap
INDEPENDENT Sat, 13 Mar 2010

Could the Israeli government make it any more obvious they have no intention of sharing the Over-Promised Land with its other inhabitants?

This week the Obama administration – who give Israel $3bn a year, more than they dole out to any other nation on earth – made a meek and craven request for Israelis to simply have a pause in seizing even more land, and to sit down with the Palestinians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded with a big concrete slap: the announcement of 1,600 more homes to be built on occupied Palestinian land from which Arabs will be forcibly kept out. He has made it plain he will not loosen his grip by an inch, announcing: "Even if [Palestinian President] Abu Mazen comes along and says he's ready to sign a peace deal on the spot, we will restore settlement construction to its previous levels." No compromise. Never.

How does this look to the Palestinians? Their story is so rarely explained without disinformation that it still seems startling when it is stated plainly. Until 1948, the Palestinians were living in their own homes, on their own land – until they were suddenly driven out in a war to make way for a new state for people fleeing a monstrous European genocide. They lived huddled and dazed in the 20 per cent of their land they were allowed to keep. They hardly fought back: they wept and dreamed of return. Then in the 1967 war, even these small strips were conquered with tanks and platoons.

Binyam Mohamed: text of letter which reveals court's criticism of 'deliberately misleading' security service

How 400 years of legal history were cast aside in the Binyam Mohamed case
GUARDIAN Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:22:39 GMT
Legal principle established in 1637 banned secret talks between lawyers and courts. It was broken by the government When the master of the rolls, Lord Neuberger, decided to retract paragraph 168 from his draft judgment in the case of Binyam Mohamed, he relied on almost 400 years of jurisprudence to assume that the parties in the case had agreed to its removal. The case of Ship Money, brought by Oliver Cromwell's cousin John Hampden in 1637, established the principle that there should be no secret communication between lawyers and the courts in legal proceedings. Representations from one side – in this case, the foreign secretary's barrister, Jonathan Sumption QC – should be copied to all other parties in the case, so that they have the opportunity to respond. On that basis, when Neuberger received a letter from Sumption requesting removal of the paragraph from the court of appeal draft judgment, lawyers say he must have thought he was acting with the agreement of all parties. Neuberger removed the paragraph from the final judgment, watering down the court's condemnation of the security services, described by Sumption as containing "exceptionally damaging criticism". "The master of the rolls' observations … will be read as statements by the court that the security service does not in fact operate a culture that respects human rights or abjures participation in coercive interrogation techniques," says Sumption's letter, now published in full on the Guardian's website. But other parties in the case were not consulted and are furious. "In all the years – I was first a government lawyer and then a liberty lawyer – I have never known the draft judgment process abused in this way," said Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, the human rights organisation which was a party to the case. "The purpose of using drafts is for typographical and factual corrections – minor matters such as names and dates. "It is not to allow one party to re-run substantive arguments and tempt a court to tone down or change its judgments." She added: "I can't believe that the Foreign Office thought they could get away with this. It shows the kind of contempt for the law that this case has always been about." "This is anti-constitutional behaviour of the most disquieting kind," said Mark Stephens,

Critics turn on Barack Obama as America's first black president fails to deliver the goods in first year in power
DAILYRECORD Wed, 20 Jan 2010
George Galloway MP, a once fervent supporter of Obama, is one of the disillusioned.

He said: "I fell out with most of my left-wing friends by supporting him. I feel a bit foolish now.

"He has lost a huge amount of support among progressive people and the conservatives really hate him. He is walking down the middle of the road and getting knocked by both sides.

"Guantanamo is one of the factors, the deepening of the war in Afghanistan is another.

"He has thrown trillions of dollars at the banks, continued sanctions against Cuba and backs Israel 100 per cent.

"His foreign policy has been identical to Bush's. He has failed on all fronts."

Galloway believes Obama could be another one-term president, like Jimmy Carter

Clive Stafford Smith, director of Reprieve, which have campaigned for the closure of Guantanamo, said: "In some areas, all that Obama has managed to do is compromise his own beliefs in his effort to accommodate the extremists in his own country.

"This is sad and it may yet come to be his political epitaph."

MI5 'still using threats to recruit Muslim spies' - Security Service used blackmail to turn us into informers, immigrants say

Self defence or malicious revenge? Jail for brothers who beat burglar with bat
GUARDIAN Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:16:06 GMT
Judge: public must not take law into own hands • Hard to believe justice has been served, says defence A businessman who fought off knife-wielding burglars who were threatening to kill his family was jailed for 30 months in a case that has reignited the debate on how far householders can go to protect themselves and their property. Munir Hussain, 53, discovered three masked men in his house when his family returned from their local mosque during Ramadan in September last year. The burglars tied up and threatened to kill Hussain and his family but a teenage son managed to escape and alert Hussain's brother, Tokeer.
BRITISH justice “a failure” : Millionaire Businessman jailed for attacking intruder - who goes free
WORLDPRESSNETWORK Tue, 15 Dec 2009
A millionaire businessman has been jailed for attacking a man who held his family hostage in their own home - while the criminal went free.

Munir Hussain, who was threatened at knifepoint and tied up by a gang of masked men in his living room last year, was told he must go to prison for 30 months to preserve “civilised society”.

But Walid Salem, a criminal with more than 50 convictions, was handed a two-year supervision order for his role in the break-in at an earlier hearing.

He was one of three men who ambushed Mr Hussain, his wife and children as they returned to their home in High Wycombe, Bucks, on Sept 3 last year after attending Ramadan prayers at their local mosque, Reading Crown Court heard.

Their hands were tied behind their backs and they were forced to crawl from room to room before being forced to lie down in the living room.

Who’s Afraid of Sibel Edmonds? The gagged whistleblower goes on the record.
AMCONMAG 01 November 2009
Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell. She went to work as a Turkish and Farsi translator for the FBI five days after 9/11. Part of her job was to translate and transcribe recordings of conversations between suspected Turkish intelligence agents and their American contacts. She was fired from the FBI in April 2002 after she raised concerns that one of the translators in her section was a member of a Turkish organization that was under investigation for bribing senior government officials and members of Congress, drug trafficking, illegal weapons sales, money laundering, and nuclear proliferation. She appealed her termination, but was more alarmed that no effort was being made to address the corruption that she had been monitoring.

REPORT "Juvenile Life Without Parole" - U.S. accounts for 99.9% of all "Life Without Parole" sentences for juveniles. African-Americans 10 times more likely than whites to be sentenced - Only other country to currently allow such sentences is Israel
LAW.USFCA ** relinked from 19 Nov 2007 **
The University of San Francisco School of Law Center for Law and Global Justice has issued a report on the sentencing of child offenders - those convicted of crimes committed when younger than 18 years of age -to a term of life imprisonment without the possibility of release or parole ("LWOP"). The sentence condemns a child to die in prison. It is the harshest sentence an individual can receive short of death and violates international human rights standards of juvenile justice.

The United States is one of only two countries in the world that currently permits the condemning of juvenile offenders to die in prison, a clear violation of international human rights laws and covenants, a University of San Francisco School of Law report released today shows.

Outside the United States, the report provides details about Israel, the only other country to currently allow such sentences; and countries, such as Australia, where there is a real danger of such sentences being imposed; as well as countries such as Tanzania and South Africa that have recently moved to ban such sentences.

Craig Murray : New Evidence Jack Straw Guilty On Torture - A Smoking Gun
CRAIGMURRAY Mon, 16 Nov 2009

Finally I have indisputable documentary evidence that the British government had a positive policy of using intelligence from torture in the War on Terror, and that the policy was personally directed by Jack Straw.

Here are the minutes of the meeting at which I was told this:

Download file

All references to the CIA and MI6 have been literally cut out, but the meaning is till perfectly unmistakeable particularly given the heading of the minute.

And here is the absolute smoking gun of Jack Straw's involvement::

Download file

Straw has been lying about this for five years. He dismissed my evidence on this to the Parliamenary Joint Committee on Human Rights as "Entirely untrue".

http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2009/10/either_craig_mu.html#comments

Straw ruined my career over my opposition to torture intelligence, after I had been appointed Ambassador by his predecessor, Robin Cook, who was rather more well disposed towards human rights. It is wonderful that it is Robin Cook's Freedom of Information Act which I have used to finally prove beyond any doubt that slippery Straw was up to his neck in approving intelligence from torture.
