Settlers burn olive trees with chemicals in Nablus


[ 25/05/2013 - 04:41 PM ]


NABLUS, (PIC)-- Laboratory results carried out by residents of Burin village, southern Nablus, showed that Jewish settlers used during attacks on the village lands toxic chemicals that burned thousands of acres of olive trees and agricultural crops.

Eyewitnesses and residents of the village said that the settlers sprayed toxic chemicals on the olive trees and agricultural crops, which led to burning them.

The villagers and their lands are constantly exposed to attacks by settlers, especially from the settlements of Brakhah and Yitzhar established on the lands of Burin village.

-------------------------

Does zionist police ever investigate those acts of settlers about this arson attact? No, never. Does any court ever punish attackers by any way? No, never. Can Palestinian farmers ever get any kind of financial compensation for they destroyed trees? No, never.

Why?

Because attackers were jews and victims were Palestinians.
 
Israel supplies Gaza hospitals with killer gas

Palestinian sources say the Israeli regime has supplied Gaza hospitals with a potentially killer gas to be used for anesthetic purposes, Press TV reports.


The Ministry of Health in Gaza said Israel, which is the sole supplier of nitrous oxide gas to Gaza hospitals, gave them carbon dioxide gas posing as nitrous oxide.

Four patients have died after inhaling carbon dioxide instead of nitrous oxide during surgical operations.

Gaza Health Minister Ashraf al-Qudra described the Tel Aviv regime’s move an “unethical crime,” saying, “We hold the Israeli regime fully responsible for endangering the lives of our patients.”

“This is another attempt by Israel to make life harder for the people of Gaza amid the ongoing blockade. Israel is the sole supplier of nitrous gas and there is no one else to blame but the Israeli occupation,” al-Qudra added.​
Nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen is given to patients to ease the pain and induce sleep prior to surgeries. Experts say replacing nitrous oxide with carbon dioxide will cause cardiac arrest and can lead to death.

According to human rights organizations, hundreds of Gazans have died in past years as a direct result of the choking Israeli blockade.

Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights has called for an international investigation into what it described as a new Israeli crime.

“Israel is known for its crimes against Palestinian patients and the health sectors for many years and we all know that it has been doing experiments on Palestinian prisoners,” Samer Mousa of al-Dameer told Press TV.

“So the switching of medical gas does not come as surprise for us. We are calling on the World Health Organization and the Red Cross to make a thorough investigation into this case,” he added.

The attacks started during the afternoon rush hour. A car bomb exploded at a public market, killing six people, the police said. Just after that, eight car bombings hit Shiite neighborhoods, including Huriya, Sadr City, Baya, Zafaraniya and Kadhimiya.

Altogether, at least 53 people were killed in the attacks and more than 100 were wounded, yet another sign of a surge in violence as sectarian tensions have risen in the last month.

IOF kidnap eight Palestinians in W. Bank


[ 02/06/2013 - 01:11 PM ]








WEST BANK, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnapped last night and at dawn Sunday eight Palestinian citizens at checkpoints and during raids on homes in different West Bank areas.

According to local sources, the IOF kidnapped Mu'taz Mazen, a 21-year old young man from Al-Aroub refugee camp, north of Al-Khalil, as he was trying to cross the Container checkpoint.

The IOF also stormed the house of Maher Salah, a 32-year old young man from Dar Salah village to the east of Bethlehem, and handed him a summons from the Israeli intelligence office in Gush Etzion settlement.

Other eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers aboard three armored jeeps was encircling at an early hour today a house belonging to Zahida family in Al-Harayek area of Al-Khalil city without knowing the reasons until the moment of reporting.

Three other young men in their early twenties were also taken prisoners during raids in Al-Bireh and Al-Mazra'a towns near Ramallah city.

In another incident, the town of Beta Al-Tahta saw several raids on homes at dawn without any reported arrests.

Syria: France Has 'Proof' Chemical Weapons Used


France says tests on chemical samples taken from Syria prove the deadly nerve agent sarin gas has been used several times during the civil conflict.

Foreign minister Laurent Fabius made the announcement on Tuesday, citing tests carried out by a French laboratory, but did not give any details of where or by whom the poison gas had been used.
He said: "These tests show the presence of sarin in various samples in our possession.

"France is certain that sarin gas was used several times in Syria in limited areas.
"It would be unacceptable that those guilty of these crimes remain unpunished."
He added that the test results had been handed to the United Nations.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he welcomed the decision by France to share the information related to the samples with a UN investigation.

"The scale of the atrocities being committed by the Assad regime is becoming ever clearer," he said.

"This announcement adds further weight to the need for a full and unimpeded investigation into all relevant incidents. The UN investigation team must be allowed unrestricted access to investigate on the ground in Syria and we call on the Assad regime to fully cooperate with it."

The US said more work needed to be done to establish who was responsible for the use of sarin gas, the amount used and the circumstances in which the chemical weapon was used.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said: "As the President (Barack Obama) made clear, we need to expand the evidence we have, we need to make it reviewable, we need to have it corroborated before we make any decisions based on the clear violation the use of chemical weapons would represent."

Sky's US Correspondent Amanda Walker said both sides have been accused of war crimes.
She said the UN had been allowed to investigate a claim by the government that opposition forces had used chemical weapons in an attack on March 19 near the city of Aleppo, but not any other.
"They do have a Swedish-led team that they want to put into Syria," she said.

"They have been denied entry to investigate further claims that the government has been using chemical weapons, the opposition say, in at least six attacks."

She added: "Sarin is one of the most deadly chemical agents in the world - a single drop can kill a person, inhaled or absorbed."

UN investigators had earlier said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe chemical weapons had been used in Syria.

The organisation's human rights group said it had received allegations that both the country's government and rebels had used limited quantities of toxic substances, but most testimony related to their use by state forces.

Paul Pinheiro, the chair of the commission, said: "It has not been possible, on the evidence available, to determine the precise chemical agents used, their delivery systems or the perpetrator."

The inquiry examined four reported toxic attacks in March and April, interviewing victims, medical staff and refugees who had fled the affected areas.

But the team behind the investigation said the inconclusive findings show that full access to Syria is needed for the UN to form a complete picture of the atrocities.

The 29-page report on human rights abuses in the ongoing civil war also described war crimes and crimes against humanity which have reached "new levels of brutality".

Leaders of Syria's military and government were accused of "a concerted policy" of violations, including the bombing of cities and executing of civilians, which investigators said they must be held accountable for.

The conflict has now lasted for 26 months and claimed more than 80,000 lives.

The UN report blamed both government and rebel forces for carrying out murder, torture and rape, but said the intensity and scale of the crimes committed by the state outweighed those committed by opposition fighters.

Details of various recent massacres were also given, with evidence pointing to government-backed militia for the killing of dozens of women and children in the villages of Baida and Banias in May.
In a separate case linked to rebels near Deir al Zor, investigators said they believed that a child took part in the beheading of two kidnapped soldiers.

The total number of massacres committed in Syria since September now stands at 30.
Earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin defended his country's right to sell arms to the Syrian government but added that they had not yet delivered S-300 missile systems.

Speaking after a summit with EU leaders in Yekaterinburg, Putin also emphasized his belief that any foreign military intervention in the civil war was doomed to fail.

Staff Sgt Robert Bales admits Afghan massacre


US soldier Robert Bales has avoided the death penalty for murdering 16 Afghan civilians last year, after a military judge accepted his guilty plea.

Bales earlier admitted killing the civilians, saying there was "not a good reason in this world" for the massacre.

He said he wandered away from a US outpost in Kandahar province and attacked two villages nearby in the early hours of 11 March 2012.

A jury must now decide if Bales's life term will include possible parole.

The sentencing hearing has been scheduled for 19 August.

The judge, as well as the commander of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, where the hearing has taken place, were required to approve any plea deal.

'Without justification'

At the start of the hearing on Wednesday, military judge Col Jeffery Nance asked Bales to describe why he thought he was guilty.

The soldier read from a statement describing each killing in the same terms:

"I left the VSP [Village Stability Platform] and went to the nearby village of Alkozai. While inside a compound in Alkozai, I observed a female I now know to be Na'ikmarga. I formed the intent to kill Na'ikmarga, and I did kill Na'ikmarga by shooting her with a firearm. This act was without legal justification, sir."

When asked why he committed the murders, Bales responded: "Sir, as far as why I've asked that question a million times since then. There's not a good reason in this world for why I did the horrible things I did."

Asked about burning the victims, Bales said he remembered a kerosene lantern in the room and recalled a fire and having matches in his pocket when he returned to the base, but not setting the bodies on fire.When pressed whether he had set the bodies on fire, Bales said: "It's the only thing that makes sense, sir."

Bales's lawyers have said he is contrite about the killings.

Lawyer John Henry Browne described Bales as "crazed" and "broken" on the night of the attack.
At the time, Bales was serving his fourth tour of duty and had been drinking alcohol and snorting Valium.
In addition to the 16 murdered, six Afghans were injured.

Afghans unsatisfied

Seventeen victims were women or children, and many of them were shot in the head. Some of the bodies were piled up and burnt.

Bales's defence lawyers said they had determined the soldier would not be able to prove any claim of insanity or diminished capacity.

While prosecutors originally said they would seek the death penalty, no US service member has been executed in more than 50 years.

Family members of those killed earlier told the BBC they were outraged that he might not be put to death.

"We will not be satisfied unless he is executed," Haji Abdul Baqi, whose cousins were killed or injured in the attack, told BBC Afghan.

"If they don't execute him, they are showing their power. He martyred 16 of our people, but they are not executing the one person who did all that. Would they forgive us if we killed 16 Americans?"

Source

P.S Is this not an act of terrorism?
 
This clear as a act of terrorism and a war crime, i believe he should be brought to justice by the afghans, and if he gets death penalty that the families of the victims should execute him the same way as he killed his victims.
 
Iraq car bombs kill five people and injure 20

Attacks target Baghdad Shia neighbourhood and police convoy in Mosul, a day after suicide attack kills eight Iranian pilgrims


Associated Press
guardian.co.uk, Saturday 8 June 2013 07.24 EDT


Five people have been killed by two car bombs in Iraq.

One of the bombs detonated in a Baghdad Shia neighbourhood and the other exploded close to an Iraqi police convoy.

Police said the first of the two attacks occurred on Saturday morning in a commercial street in the al-Ameen district, killing four people and wounding 18 others. Several shops were damaged in the attack.

One policeman was killed and two others were wounded after a car bomb struck a police convoy in the northern city of Mosul.

On Friday, a suicide car bomb attack killed eight Iranian pilgrims and wounded 25 others north of Baghdad.

The bomber rammed his explosive-laden car into a bus carrying Iranian Shia pilgrims who were on their way to visit shrines in the city of Najaf.

The attack took place near the town of Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

Ayyash: Israeli navy continues to chase Gaza fishermen
[ 08/06/2013 - 05:02 PM ]


GAZA, (PIC)-- Nizar Ayyash, chairman of Palestinian fishermen syndicate in Gaza, said that the Israeli naval forces have continued to target Palestinian fishermen and rob them of their boats.

Ayyash told PIC's reporter that the occupation forces have been chasing and arresting the fishermen, shooting them, destroying their boats, and seizing their fishing tools, on a daily basis.

The Israeli forces have recently arrested two fishermen and took them to the port of Ashdod. They were questioned and abused before being released yesterday evening at the Beit Hanoun crossing.

The occupation navy destroyed the boat engine of the two fishermen before their arrest, Ayyash added.

The Israeli occupation authorities announced by the end of May that it would extend the fishing zone for Gaza fishermen to six miles, as it was agreed upon in the calm agreement signed after the “Battle of the Shale Stones”; however the Israeli forces did not stop targeting fishermen.

By official reason for kind of attacks Israel explains is that fishermens try to smuggle weapons to Gaza. Real reason is that Israel want to use natural gas from the regional waters of Gaza and wants to controll sea of Gaza area alone.

Iraq gunmen kill 14 people at fake checkpoint

At least 14 people have been killed at a fake security checkpoint manned by gunmen in western Iraq, officials say.

The checkpoint was reportedly set up along the main highway to Saudi Arabia, near the town of al-Nukhaib, in the predominantly Sunni province of Anbar.

One report said those killed were all policemen; another identified them as soldiers and civilians from Karbala.

They were stopped by the gunmen and appeared to have been executed, officials told the Associated Press.

The sectarian violence in Iraq has escalated in recent weeks, raising fears of a more sustained period of violence between Iraq's Shia Arab majority and the minority Sunni community.

More than 1,000 people were killed in the nationwide unrest in May, according to the United Nations, the highest monthly death toll since the height of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007.

It seems that Iraq is descending into sectarian chaos once again :(.
 
A Lebanese man apparently protesting against the role of Hezbollah in the Syria conflict has been killed by gunfire outside the Iranian embassy in Beirut, Lebanese security sources say.

A small group was protesting at the embassy against the Shia movement and its backer, Iran, over their involvement in Syria.

It is not yet known who killed the protester.

Thats their point with these mock raids, their goal is to demotivate the resistance, however it fails time after time. They haven't brought fear into the hearts of the palestinian people, rather they have brought more hope in their hearts. The israelis are acting aggressively lately because they know their time is running out. And before that they want to drag the arab world into a big turmoil.

Abu Umamah al Bahili reported that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: "A group of my ummah will remain firm upon the truth, dominating their enemies. They will not be harmed by their opponents until Allah’s decree arrives upon them." They asked: "Oh Prophet of Allah! Where will they be?" He replied: "In Bait al-Maqdis and its surrounding areas." [Ahmad]
