E' importante che il governo unifichi le opinioni dei suoi portavoce al fine di dare credibilità  al processo in gestazione. 4. Il governo deve definire se la sua interlocuzione ਠcon un'organizzazione sollevatasi in armi contro lo Stato o con terroristi; in questo modo, … [read more]

Palestinian Press ReleaseEuropean organisations today defied the refusal of EU-Ministers to publish a report compiled by their own diplomats regarding Israeli violations of international law with regard to East Jerusalem. Over 30 Jewish, Palestinian, peace, and anti-poverty groups from around Europe will publish the suppressed Report on their websites. The report, which states that "Israel's activities in Jerusalem are in violation of both its Roadmap obligations and international law" was shelved by EU foreign ministers at their 12 December Foreign Affairs (GAERC) meeting in Brussels, for fear of alienating Israel and reducing the EU's influence. Yet, protesting groups point out, only one day after the report's suppression, Israel announced the building of 300 new homes in the Maale … [read more]

Lawyer Stewart faces 30 years for having legally defended Muslim clericRadical human rights attorney Lynne Stewart has been falsely accused of helping terrorists. Now convicted, she faces 30 years in prison. On Tuesday, April 9, 2002, she was arrested and agents searched her Manhattan office for documents. She was arraigned before Manhattan federal Judge John Koeltl. This is an obvious attempt by the U.S. government to silence dissent, curtail vigorous defense lawyers, and install fear in those who would fight against the U.S. government's racism, seek to help Arabs and Muslims being prosecuted for free speech and defend the rights of all oppressed people.***'Accompany human rights lawyer to court'Lynne Stewart to be sentenced Oct. 16Catch a train or a plane, walk, hail a cab or carpool … [read more]

Skrivet av Jorge CapelánDen inflytelserike analytikern Heinz Steffan Dietrich pà¥talade under helgen att en statskupp i samma linje som de mot Chávez 2002 och Allende 1973 är pॠgà¥ng i Bolivia. USA, EU och de multinationella oljebolagen pekas ut som anstiftare av en statskupp med rasistsika undertoner: "Alla vill bli av med 'indianen' Evo, som stör affärerna, sà¥som 'svartingen' Chávez i Venezuela," skriver Dietrich. Konflikten mellan arbetare och kooperativmedlemmar i departementet Oruro, som de senaste dagarna hade krävt minst 16 dödsoffer och hundratals sà¥rade, skulle vara en av statskuppens ingredienser. Konflikten gällde kontrollen över en stor tennfyndighet i Hunani regionen, där omkring 4 000 kooperativmedlemmar med nära kopplingar till fd … [read more]

A political declaration by Abnaa elBalad Movement New steps in the war of mass destruction Against the Arab NationFor the Unity of Anti Imperialist ForcesThe beginning of September 2006The Imperialist PlanWhile vainly waving the slogans of "the war on terror" and "the establishment of democracy in the middle east", the imperialist policy against the Arab Homeland is undergoing a dangerous escalation from the period of domination and control to waging an open war for the destruction of all the necessary conditions for the existence of the Arab Nation. The best proof of this comes in the latest experience in Palestine, where the democratic elections to the legislative council changed the government of the Palestinian Authority and proved the Palestinian people's determination to support the … [read more]

On the occasion of the international day of action against war and occupation on September 30, 2006, some 10.000 took to the streets in the Italian capital. For several reasons the demonstration marks a significant turn of the anti-war movement:It is the first time that the common platform of a national demonstration in continuity of the anti-war movement in Italy is clearly anti-imperialist. It not only gives open support to the popular resistance movements in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq without distancing themselves from the Islamic currents. But with the demand to withdraw the troops from Lebanon it also frontally attacks the new Italian left liberal government which together with France tries to play the role of the lead nation.On the other hand it was obvious that only the radical … [read more]

Campaign: Humanitarian donations, solidarity delegation and political support conferenceDespite the success of the Lebanese resistance in stopping the Israeli aggression and inflicting high losses to the Israeli army the UN resolution 1701 with the subsequent deployment of foreign troops in Lebanon means an attempt to accomplish the aims of the Israeli mission through an international diplomatic and military intervention. The Lebanese government led by the Hariri clan in alliance with the pro-Saudi-Western 14th March block is accomplice in these efforts although they do not dare to admit it openly.The resistance is therefore entering a new stage defending its legitimacy against the 14th March forces controlling the state and eventually its existence against the foreign intervention … [read more]

It seems to be a step back into the colonial past. The map of the Middle East is increasingly marked in the colours of occupation troops. Troops of different countries, with or without a mandate of the United Nations, but always corresponding to one single design—the design of the so-called New Middle East envisaged by Washington in close alliance with Israel.Different pretexts have been put forward in order to justify the invasion of Iraq, to continue the massacre against the Palestinian people, to attack Lebanon. But behind all this is the will to control the entire region, to loot its resources, to impede any autonomous development, to subjugate the people denying them their rights, to impose Western civilisation as the only one worth to exist which one has to accept willingly … [read more]

Europeerna försöker bara genomföra sionisternas mà¥l med andra medelDet libanesiska folkets motstà¥ndsrörelse, och i synnerhet dess spjutspets Hezballah, är den klara segraren i den senaste ronden i konflikten i Mellanöstern. Israel kunde inte uppnॠsitt uttalade mà¥l att besegra Hezballah pॠslagfältet och tvingades till ett förnedrande tillbakadragande. Ingen kan pॠallvar förneka just detta faktum som ocksॠtydligt erkänns av opinionen i Israel.Israel var inte bara oförmöget att à¥samka Hezballah ett nederlag men visade sig ocksà¥, som en konsekvens av detta, inte kunna provocera fram ett nytt inbördeskrig. Tvärtom stärktes enheten i landet av Hezballahs förmà¥ga att försvara det mot sionismen. Om Hezballah till och med kunde besegra Israel, vem … [read more]

The Europeans just try to implement Zionist aims by other meansThe recent round of the Middle East conflict clearly goes to the Lebanese popular resistance and especially its spearhead Hizbollah. Israel could not reach its proclaimed aim to defeat Hizbollah on the battlefield and had to withdraw disgracefully. Nobody can seriously deny this very fact which is strongly confirmed by the public opinion in Israel herself.Israel was not only not able to inflict a defeat on Hizbollah but as a consequence proved unable to incite a new civil war. On the contrary the ability of Hizbollah to defend the country against Zionism strengthened the national unity. If even Israel lost the war against Hisbollah who should internally dare to attack them by military force?This is an extraordinary success to … [read more]

by Abnaa el BaladUnder the flag of the "International War against terrorism" Israeli authorities outlawed a Prisoners' support association that is active for more than 25 years In a pre-dawn raid on Friday, 8 September, a big force of Israel's police, border guards and security services invaded the offices of a Palestinian prisoner's support association called "Prisoners' Friends Association" (PFA) in the town of Majd elKroom in the Galilee, inside the 1948 occupied Palestine (the state of Israel). They confiscated computers, hundreds of documents, tens of artwork and handcrafts pieces that were given as presents to the association by different prisoners over the years, and even the trash bin… Another group of policeman invaded, at the same time, the house of the chairman of the … [read more]

Ett brev inifrà¥n Israel av en aktivist i Abnaa el Balad[1]I och med vapenvilan tog den fas som vi gà¥tt igenom under den senaste mà¥naden - det "öppna kriget" - slut. Alla medger att Muqawamah - motstà¥ndsrörelsen [2] - har vunnit den här delen av kriget. Det är underbart, och dessutom är det första gà¥ngen arabiska styrkor har besegrat Israel i krig, och det är verkligen skönt att vara pॠden vinnande sidan. Man kan se att alla sionister är pॠverkligt dà¥ligt humör.För oss har den senaste mà¥naden varit mycket underlig. Trots att vi var aktiva sॠgott som varje dag (vi organiserade och deltog i demonstrationer 3 till 4 gà¥nger i veckan och gjorde andra aktioner därutöver) upplevde jag mer än nà¥gonsin att den verkliga politiken, den verkliga … [read more]

Help save Iñaki's life! On August 7, Basque political prisoner Iñaki de Juana Chaos began a hunger strike to demand his right to be released. Iñaki de Juana should have been released on October 25, 2004, after serving his sentence in full and having spent 18 years in jail. However, the Magistrate at the First Penal Court of the Spanish Audiencia Nacional, Gà³mez Bermúdez, issued a decision dated October 22, attempting to contest the remission Iñaki was entitled to and to prevent his release.In view of the impossibility to maintain this line of argument, the judge decreed his remand in custody for an alleged crime of membership of an armed group and terrorist threats.The basis for the accusations were two opinion articles the prisoners sent to the daily Gara .
