Redogörelse frà¥n Abna el-Balad (Landets söner)*Sedan invasionen av Libanon inleddes demonstrerar antikrigsrörelsen minst tre gà¥nger i veckan. I Haifa hà¥ller vi demonstrationer med tvॠtill tre hundra deltagare. Efter massakern i Qana var vi fem hundra. Till demonstrationerna varje vecka i Tel Aviv kommer nà¥gra tusen människor, och i mà¥nga arabiska städer som Sakhneen och Shefa'amr är det ocksॠtusentals. à…ttio till nittio procent av den judiska befolkningen stödjer kriget, och vid và¥ra demonstrationer angrips vi av en blandning av studenter, rasande ligister och poliser. En arabisk kvinna attackerades av tvॠmaskerade män. Efter demonstrationen trängde de in i hennes hem och slog henne inför ögonen pॠhennes barn. Hon blev tvungen att uppsöka … [read more]

Appeal of the Lebanese Communist Party for resisting the Zionist occupier and defending their land and peopleOur Lebanese People:The army of the Zionist enemy is continuing its aggression against Lebanon for its third consecutive week. From its very beginning stage, this aggression has taken the form of a savage predatory war. Neither man nor stone is safe from its fiery hell, nor are human and civil institutions, the media, or the infrastructure. The Zionist killing machine has most recently targeted even international observers.This savage raging storm that took as its pretext the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers has exceeded all possible responses in such circumstances as it seeks to wreak vengeance on Lebanon and its people in an attempt to inflict the greatest possible harm to … [read more]

In 2006, July 15th Abdul Aziz Mohammad Khalil Ali - a civil activist, was arrestedby the Jordanian Authorities reference to a demonstration in the Professional Associations' Complex against the Zionist attack on Lebanon. He was accused of insulting the Arab leaders, a "crime" referred to in Jordanian law by the creative term: "Tongue Elongation"!!!! On the 16th of the same month, the Police Director in Amman referred Abdul Aziz to the Public Prosecutor. Abdul Aziz was accused of using inappropriate language to insult the higher authorities and was detained for 15 renewable days at Al-Jweideh Prison. On July the 27th, a request to bail Abdul Aziz out with an amount of 3000 Jordanian Dinars was approved on behalf of the case. The shock was, when at 3:30 am of the following day, and … [read more]

Af Carsten Kofoed, Frit Irak BlogAt Iraks shiamuslimer som gruppe ikke støtter den amerikansk ledede blodige besà¦ttelse, sà¥dan som det fremstilles i besà¦ttelsesmagtens propaganda i massemedierne, ved alle med blot det mindste reelle kendskab til situationen i Irak.Dette blev endnu engang bekrà¦ftet, da det jordanske dagblad Al-Arab Al-Yawn den 4. juli kunne fortà¦lle, at Al-Abbas-brigaden, en shiamuslimsk modstandsgruppe, havde erklà¦ret sin eksistens i en video, der vistes pॠen lokal irakisk tv-station.Gruppen erklà¦rede blandt andet:�?Vi har tà¥lmodigt holdt ud og givet den politiske proces tilstrà¦kkeligt med chancer, men landet er begyndt at glide ned ad en farlig sliske, hvor den forhadte besà¦ttelsesmagt stadig er til stede, sॠdet er … [read more]

Turn the aggression into a setback for the US-Zionist hegemony!With the backing of the US Israel is systematically bombing the only democracy of the Middle East deliberately targeting the civilian population and the infrastructure. Lebanon is democratic because its people could liberate itself from Zionist occupation and imperialist predominance thanks to the popular resistance embodied and led by Hizbullah.In Lebanon Israel has suffered it most shaking defeat ever since eventually being forced to withdraw its occupation troops. The result of 25 years of war was to leave the country and especially the South to a victorious popular anti-imperialist movement based on the poor Shiite masses but drawing support also from other confessional groups and the middle classes. Israel never could … [read more]

Statement issued by the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on the escalation of Zionist aggression against the territory of Lebanon and PalestineEpic steadfastness and resistance - the epic of Ghazza and al-Karama - continue in the land of Palestine and Lebanon. The Lebanese and Palestinian peoples are writing a page of glory in the history of the Arab Nation and Islamic world community and in the history of all humanity. At a time of impotence, collusion, and submission by official Arab regimes, as evidenced by the results of the meetings of Arab foreign ministers, the knights of Hizballah and the knights of Palestine continue their heroic defiance of the Israeli terrorist war machine in defense not only of Palestine and Lebanon, but in defense of … [read more]

Statement from the General Secretary of Hizballah, His Excellency Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah, to the Nation, the Lebanese people, the resistance fighters, the Zionists and the Arab leadersIn this first address that I give in these days following Operation True Promise, I would like to say a few words - a word to the Lebanese people, a word to the resistance fighters, a word to the Zionists, and a word to the Arab rulers. I will not offer words to the international community because I have never for one day believed that there is any such thing as an international community, just as many in our nation feel. First, I say to the Lebanese people: dear people - who embraced the resistance, by whom the resistance was victorious, and for whom the resistance won its victory on 25 May … [read more]

Uttalande av Hizballahs generalsekreterare, hans excellens Sayyid Hasan NasrallahTill nationen, till det libanesiska folket, till motstà¥ndskämparna, till sionisterna och till de arabiska ledarnaFredagen den 14 juli, 2006I detta mitt första anförande under dessa dagar efter Operation Verkligt Löfte, skulle jag vilja säga nà¥gra ord - nà¥gra till det libanesiska folket, nà¥gra till motstà¥ndskämparna, nà¥gra till sionisterna och nà¥gra till de arabiska ledarna. Jag kommer inte att rikta nà¥gra ord till det internationella samfundet för jag, liksom mà¥nga i và¥r nation, har aldrig för ett ögonblick trott att det finns nà¥gonting sà¥dant som ett internationellt samfund.Först, till det libanesiska folket, säger jag: kära folk - som omfamnade motstà¥ndet, … [read more]

   Those who searched for clear answers within the usual multitude if the Social Forums - this time "polycentric" with Caracas as the point of Latin American reference - had to wait for the closing speech of Hugo Chavez, president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela:  "Also you will respect our autonomy to express what we think: I think that we have to push the Forum to form a big global movement as an anti-imperialist alternative comprising the entire world which got the capability of connexion, of growth, of struggle. I also believe that we have already taken some steps in this direction. We run the risk of a folklorization of the Forum. A Forum which discusses and debates without conclusions, for example, for me seems at least strange … if it … [read more]

Palestinierna har rätt att bekämpa ockupationstrupperna och ta dem till fà¥ngaUnder de senaste dagarna har den allmänna opinionen i västvärlden uppvisat det vidrigaste hyckeri. Till och med FN:s generalsekreterare Kofi Annan och pà¥ven har bett att den fängslade ockupationssoldaten ska friges. Men ingen bryr sig om de mà¥nga tusen palestinska politiska fà¥ngar, bland dem kvinnor och barn, som hà¥lls fängslade utan rättegà¥ng, och än mindre om den dagliga terror som ockupationsmakten utsätter den palestinska civilbefolkningen för.Palestinierna erbjöd en fà¥ngutväxling, som Israel kategoriskt avvisade. Sionisterna bryr sig inte om sin soldats liv. De är glada att de har fà¥tt en förevändning för att kollektivt bestraffa Palestinas folk för dess ihà¥llande … [read more]

It is the Palestinian's right to fight the occupations troops and take prisonersThe last days has displayed the most disgusting hypocrisy of the Western public opinion. Even UN secretary general Kofi Annan and the pope have called for the release of the imprisoned occupation soldier. But nobody care about the thousand and thousand Palestinian political prisoners, among them women and children held without trial let alone the daily terror the occupation unleashes against the civilian population.The Palestinians offered an exchange of prisoners but Israel categorically refused. The Zionists do not care about the live of their soldier. They are happy to have a justification to collectively punish the Palestinian people for their steadfast resistance. It is like the Nazi war machine on the … [read more]

We call upon all forces in support of a just peace to add their names and organisations to following call. Send your endorsement to: conference@iraqiresistance.infoIt is the second attempt to hold an international conference on Iraq (and now also on Palestine) in Europe with important representatives of the popular opposition to the occupation as last year it was impeded by the Berlusconi government in Italy following the interference by the U.S. The new Italian government led by Prodi tries to appear as advocating peace. Despite the fact that they did not fully withdraw the Italian occupation troops many people still believe their claim. If their stick to their words the government must allow such a peace conference. See the open letter to the the Foreign Minister D'Alema. Against the … [read more]

frà¥n de italienska irakkommittà©ernaTill Italiens utrikesminister,välborne Massimo D'AlemaNi är säkerligen medveten om att en internationell konferens under rubriken "För en rättvis fred i Irak" skulle ha hà¥llits i oktober förra à¥ret i Chianciano Terme.Ni torde ocksॠvara medveten om att dess arrangörer blev tvungna att ställa in konferensen pॠgrund av den dà¥varande utrikesministerns, Gianfranco Fini, beslut att inte bevilja visum till de högt uppsatta representanter för det irakiska civilsamhället som hade bjudits in.Samme utrikesminister vägrade faktiskt till och med att ge visum till Haj Ali, mannen som fick en huva över huvudet av sina fà¥ngvaktare och blev symbolen världen över för de som torterats i Abu Ghraib-fängelset.

USA-imperialismen försöker föregripa sina motstà¥ndare genom att krossa demEfter Palestina, Jugoslavien, Afghanistan och Irak är det nu Irans tur. Teheran har länge setts som ledare för "ondskans axelmakter", men Wahington har haft andra trängande krigiska behov pॠsin väg mot världsherravälde.Mediekampanjen mot Iran bygger pॠförevändningar som liknar de som användes mot Irak för nà¥gra à¥r sedan. Iran framställs nu - som tidigare Irak - som en fara för fred och säkerhet i världen. Men större delen av världen saknar redan idag bà¥de fred och säkerhet. Den kapitalistiska globalisering och de därmed sammanhängande imperialistiska krigen och ockupationerna gör livet till ett helvete för majoriteten av världens befolkning, som mycket väl vet att … [read more]

The media campaign against Iran is based on similar pretexts like the one against Iraq some years back. Like Iraq now Iran is being displayed as a danger to world peace and security. But for the biggest part of the world there is already now neither peace nor security. Capitalist globalisation and concomitant imperial war and occupation render life to hell for the majority of the world's population. They know well that the head and source of their misery are the US and their allies. It is them who are the main danger. But it is true that Iran like all other forces not willing to completely subordinate to Washington are indeed a danger, but not for the peoples but for the very empire. Any movement, people or national state able to defend its sovereignty would stir others to do the same … [read more]

Talk by Rabbi Ahron Cohen at the Grand Hotel Vienna Austria 19th June '061. Good afternoon, it is a privilege to have the opportunity of talking to you today. I and my colleagues of Neturei Karta value greatly occasions such as this because we feel that we have both a religious and humanitarian duty to publicise our message as much as possible. So I hope and pray that with the Creator's help my words and our discussions here this evening may be correct and true in their content and conclusions.2. I am what is known as an orthodox Jew (that is a Jew who endeavours to live his life completely in accordance with Judaism, the age old Jewish religion). I am here under the banner of the group known as Neturei Karta, which can be loosely translated as Guardians of the Faith. We are not a … [read more]
