Timothy Alexander Guzman Silent Crow News (via Global Research) 25 March 2016 Trump’s AIPAC Speech Attacks Iran and the Palestinians while Praising Israel’s “Democracy” U.S. Presidential candidate and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump showed his true colors at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  “I came here to speak to you about where I stand on the future of American relations with our strategic ally, our unbreakable friendship and our cultural brother, the only democracy in the Middle East, the state of Israel.”  Yes, he is right, Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East for Jews, not the Palestinians, Ethiopian Jews (Ethiopian women were sterilized before entering the state of Israel so they won’t produce dark-skinned babies on Jewish land), and Palestinians who live as second-class citizens within the state of Israel. Trump is adamant about dismantling the Iran Nuclear Deal recently passed between the West (P-5+1) a...

Richard Silverstein Tikun Olam (via Global Research) 30 March 2016 The Yediot Achronot conference attacking BDS has become a veritable carnival of hate.  Everyone from delusional Hollywood celebrities (Roseanne Barr) to cabinet ministers, to the leader of the Opposition have pledged fealty to the cause. But the apogee same yesterday when Transportation Minister Israel Katz [image left] called for the “civil targeted killing “of BDS leaders like Omar Barghouti.  The phrase he used (sikul ezrahi memukad) derives from the euphemistic Hebrew phrase for the targeted killing of a terrorist (the literal meaning is “targeted thwarting”).  But the added word ” civil” makes it something different.  Katz is saying that we won’t physically murder BDS opponents, but we will do everything short of that. One may rightly ask what business a transportation minister has conducting targeted killings, physical or otherwise, against anyone.  Though every...

Craig Murray Craig Murray (via Global Research) 21 February 2016 Incisive 2013 article of utmost relevance Israel has granted oil exploration rights inside Syria, in the occupied Golan Heights, to Genie Energy. Major shareholders of Genie Energy – which also has interests in shale gas in the United States and shale oil in Israel – include Rupert Murdoch and Lord Jacob Rothschild. This from a 2010 Genie Energy press release: Claude Pupkin, CEO of Genie Oil and Gas, commented, “Genie’s success will ultimately depend, in part, on access to the expertise of the oil and gas industry and to the financial markets. Jacob Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch are extremely well regarded by and connected to leaders in these sectors. Their guidance and participation will prove invaluable.” “I am grateful to Howard Jonas and IDT for the opportunity to invest in this important initiative,” Lord Rothschild said. “Rupert Murdoch’s extraordinary achievements speak for them...

Ne News 30 March 2016 Well, it is that time of week again with the required readings. Note that Ne News may start slightly later this week than usual due to other commitments (13:15 at the latest). The recent false flag attacks in Brussels will be front, left and centre of Ne News this week, including putting the Brussels attacks into a greater perspective. Officials Stroke Anti-Muslim Hatred Following Brussels Attacks http://www.globalresearch.ca/officials-stoke-anti-muslim-hatred-following-brussels-attack/5517228 Non-Muslims Carried Out More Than 90% of All Terrorist Attacks in America http://www.globalresearch.ca/non-muslims-carried-out-more-than-90-of-all-terrorist-attacks-in-america/5333619

Stephane Hugues World Socialist Web Site (via Global Research) 29 March 2016 Amid growing revelations of state foreknowledge of the March 22 attacks in Brussels, ruling circles are trying to cover up their responsibility in attacks that have now claimed 35 lives and left 340 injured. As the central role of Islamist networks developed by the NATO powers in their proxy war in Syria comes to light, Belgian and French politicians are stoking up anti-Muslim hatred. Over the last week, it has emerged that Belgian intelligence had identified the attackers and their ties to Islamist militias fighting in Syria and had been warned of the timing and targets of their attacks. Nevertheless, police did not monitor the attackers or apprehend them as they amassed a huge bomb-making arsenal and took it to their targets. Information continues to emerge about how the backing of Islamist forces by Washington and its allies in Syria has produced a network of Islamist fighters in Europe ...

Brandon Turbeville Activist Post (via Global Research) 9 November 2015 The Brussels and Paris terror attacks are interrelated.   This article first published on November 9, 2015 in the immediate wake of the Paris attacks is of relevance in analyzing the nature of both the Paris and Brussels events. As France finds itself in the grips of martial law and its first mandatory curfew since it was occupied by Germany during world War II, there exists a number of questionable details surrounding the recent terrorist attacks in Paris. Only hours after the first shots were fired, stories and reports are beginning to change and contradict one another. Considering the history of the French government, French Intelligence agencies and the Anglo-American/NATO Intelligence apparatus, particularly the recent events surrounding the Charlie Hebdo attacks that were exposed as false flags, one would be justified in wondering whether or not these recent attacks in Paris were of the ...

Washington's Blog Washington's Blog (via Global Research) 25 March 2016 The Little-Known Secret to Destroying ISIS Propaganda ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on Westerners is evil. And as a white American from a Judeo-Christian background, I am repulsed by the fact that ISIS is  targeting Christians  in Syria and Iraq with brutal murder … including  crucifixion . [And these crimes are invariably not reported by the Western media.] But most victims of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorism are  themselves  Muslim. The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center – the United States government organization  responsible for national and international counterterrorism efforts  –  reported  in 2011 (page 14): In cases where the religious affiliation of terrorism casualties could be determined,  Muslims suffered between 82 and 97% of terrorism-related fatalities  over the past five years. The State Department  com...

M. David and Shane Wooten Counter Current News (via Global Research) 24 March 2016 While America and Europe changes their social media profile pictures to show solidarity with victims of one European country, then another, victims of terrorism in non-European and American countries are receiving virtual no attention – let alone sympathy – when they receive even higher death tolls from ISIS. After the horrific attack on Brussels, it’s worth noting how the major attacks that have recently been carried out by ISIS, or ISIS-sympathizing groups, have been reported in the media – and subsequently how they have been received on social media: March 22, 2016, Brussels, 34 killed – HEADLINE NEWS March 20, 2015, Yemen, 137 killed – no headline April 18, 2015, Afghanistan, 33 killed – no headline June 26, 2015, Tunisia, 38 killed – no headline June 29, 2015, Yemen, 35 killed – no headline October 10, 2015, Ankara, Turkey, 97 killed – no headline October 31, 201...

Lesley Docksey Global Research 25 March 2016 The only reason the UK is having a referendum on whether the UK should stay in (Remain) or leave (Brexit) the EU, is because of the difference of opinion within the Conservative Party. The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) was formed by disgruntled Tory MPs.  It has no real policy except to get out of the EU.  That doesn’t stop it from shouting about how awfu lEuropeis and how much better off an independent UK would be. But many Tory MPs also dislike Europe, and faced with the prospect of half his government marching off to join UKIP and destroying his small majority in Parliament, Prime Minister David Cameron promised them a referendum.  Given all the other problems Britainis facing at the moment, the very divisive argument and unnecessary expense is something it can do without. One begins to wonder if, by the time the UK has its referendum in June there will be any viable Conservative Party le...

Jonathan Cook Jonathan Cook: The Blog from Nazareth 24 March 2016 The best analysis of the Brussels attacks we can hope for from the corporate media, I suppose, are these insights from Simon Jenkins. Like many libertarians, he understands what we are doing wrong, but he can’t seem to extrapolate from there to how we might put things right. As a result, the first half of the article is impressive; the second half confused. Here are the highlights: Textbooks on terrorism define its effects in four stages: first the horror, then the publicity, then the political grandstanding, and finally the climactic shift in policy. The initial act is banal. The atrocities in Brussels happen almost daily on the streets of Baghdad, Aleppo and Damascus. Western missiles and Isis bombs kill more innocents in a week than die in Europe in a year. The difference is the media response. A dead Muslim is an unlucky mutt in the wrong place at the wrong time. A dead European is front...

South Front South Front (via Global Research) 23 March 2016 Note: While the mainstream media focuses on Brussels (and various governments offering their sympathies to the people of Belgium), there has been a terrorist attack in Syria that has not been mentioned by the mainstream media, carried out by Daesh. Just as many people died in this terrorist attack as in Brussels, but because the victims are Muslims, it is ignored. Is it possible that the victim's religion is a factor if it gets any coverage? At the time of the Paris terrorist attacks last year, there were also attacks in Turkey and Lebanon, but no coverage from the mainstream media. And what is not mentioned is that Daesh is funded by countries such as the United States of America and Israel, as well as the European Union. Ne News wishes that people do not vilify other people over what happened in the terrorist attacks in Brussels and Syria based on religion. The globalists want us to fight each other on trivial issues...
