Freedom Flotilla II sets sail for Gaza

Freedom Flotilla aid ship is setting sail for Gaza again.

(MELBOURNE) - The Palestinian message on the ground is clear, but no one’s listening. They won’t accept surrender for peace. They want nothing less than freedom and justice in their own unoccupied land.

The aid flotilla is being organized by a coalition of pro-Palestinian groups, most of them based in Europe, the Associated Press reported.

Turkey can be a Model for Change

This is a victory not only for Prime Minister Erdogan but also for Turkish democracy.

(TEHRAN) - In the nine years of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s leadership, Turkey has not only made fantastic economic progress but it has also assumed a higher profile in the international arena.

On Sunday, Turkish voters rewarded Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, in power since 2002, with a landslide victory and gave Prime Minister Erdogan a mandate for a third term.

Dear Israel: It is YOU who is the provocateur, not us

We CAN stop Israeli attacks against us if we work together.

(NEW YORK) - As we get ready to sail in two weeks, Israel has stepped up the threats, threatening to sue the Canadians who are going, threatening to sue the satellite phone company if they provide us with service, threatening to kill and maim us if we don't stop, then saying, "I told you so...we said we would kill you."

This behavior has got to stop. Israel is behaving like the schoolyard bully.

Palestinians Join the Arab Spring and Reach for UN Membership

Apparently, the US is alone among nations willing to join Israel in its plot–ascribed, as usual, to “security concerns”–to keep the Palestinians from UN membership.

(CHICAGO) - Five years before the 2011 Arab Spring, Hamas won a decisive victory in the January 25, 2006, Palestinian parliamentary elections.

The United States and Israel had both endorsed the participation of Hamas in the 2006 elections, putting aside their usual “terrorism” rejection of Hamas.

“Proxy Buster” Software Exposes False Flag Antisemite Spammers Tied to Spy/Terror Groups.

(CINCINNATI ) - An unclassified version of the software used by the FBI has allowed Veterans Today to track the IP addresses of a group of, what appeared to be, hate mongers and racists whose rhetoric borders on terrorist extremism. What we found was astounding.

In one case, an individual using the email address “youdirtyfXXXingjew@XXXmail.com” was traced to the computer of the head the largest Jewish “defense” organization.

Failed Favoritism Toward Israel

There will be disastrous consequences for U.S.-Saudi relations if the United States vetoes U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state.

(RIYADH, Saudi Arabia) - President Obama gave a rousing call to action in his controversial speech last month, admonishing Arab governments to embrace democracy and provide freedom to their populations.

We in Saudi Arabia, although not cited, took his call seriously. We noted, however, that he conspicuously failed to demand the same rights to self-determination for Palestinians — despite the occupation of their territory by the region’s strongest military power.

Flash Mob`s Major Production at Portland Apartheid Supporter `New Seasons`

I think people are eventually going to learn, the way we all learned about South Africa...

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - With all of the stories about terrible things taking place in the world, it is good to know that flash mobs are out there to embarrass the holy living sh*t out of retailers that want to grease their palms with blood money from Israel.

The people in this Portland, Oregon flash mob carry with them the virtue of what is right in this world, they are drawing attention to what is wrong.
