Israel Desecrates Islam’s Third Holiest Site, Again
by Stephen Lendman
No crime is too outrageous for Israel to commit. Genocidal aggression is longstanding policy. So are many forms of daily persecution - ruthless police state brutality against defenseless Palestinians.
On September 13, ahead of the two-day Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah period, extremist settlers led by racist agriculture minister Uri Ariel, protected by soldiers and police, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied East Jerusalem - Islam’s third holiest site where they don’t belong, on the fabricated pretext of conducting a security operation. Dozens of worshipers were attacked and forcibly removed, including children, Israeli forces using tear gas and stun grenades, as well as indiscriminately firing steel-coated rubber bullets against helpless victims.
Dear Guardian editors: this is why no one believes you anymore
by BlackCatte
Dear Guardian editors, especially the Anonymous Perpetrator of Sunday’s Guardian view on Ukraine –
While this is just the latest on the conveyor-belt of state-promoted Stalinist ‘alternative realities’, which now constitutes the vast majority of your (ahem) political analysis, I feel the need to make a few observations, more out of pity than anger.
You must be wondering why, after over a year of a continued propaganda campaign that has seen you defending neo-nazis, racist massacres, and the wholesale terrorising of innocent civilians, you are still largely failing to get the message across, even to your core traditional readership. I can sense a rising panic, bafflement and bewilderment in you. And it makes me want to reach out. To bridge the gulf and explain why you are so totally failing to convince anybody of anything.
Corbyn’s Victory
By Gilad Atzmon
Jeremy Corbyn’s victory yesterday is a clear message to the British political world. You politicians had better start listening to the people, otherwise you will be out.
But his victory goes has ramifications beyond British politics. In recent weeks an alliance made up of British Jewish leadership (BOD, Jewish Chronicle etc.) and heavily supported by their caretakers within the British establishment, have waged a brutal yet counter effective campaign against Corbyn. The campaign abused and slandered the last gentleman in British politics and probably the nicest man in the parliament.
Gerald Celente’s Occupy Peace Initiative
by Stephen Lendman
At the most perilous time in world history, waging peace takes on added urgency. On September 20, Celente will launch his new initiative.
He calls it “a movement designed to reinstate the core values that gave birth to this nation and provide the tools for advancing peace and restoring prosperity.”
He explains “(o)ur future is being robbed from us by murderous thieves. Their wet dream of a never ending War on Terror has created a living nightmare.”
“Not only have these psychopaths hijacked our nation’s wealth as our economy declines, their ‘destroy and degrade’ mentality is depriving us of joy, beauty, peace, and freedom that are our inalienable and god-given rights.”
America bears full responsibility for “killing and wounding” millions worldwide - an agenda of endless mass slaughter and destruction. “The choice is yours. Join me and Occupy Peace, and do your part to help restore the dignity of the human spirit and the sanctity of life.”
Russia No Longer Interested In Further Nuclear Arms Reduction with the U.S.

Russia is no longer interested in pursuing further reductions in nuclear arms, announced Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, during a press conference in Moscow, reported TASS yesterday. "I don't see grounds to raise in the practical sphere an issue of continuing dialogue with
U.S. on controlling nuclear weapons and reducing them in the future," Ryabkov said, while stressing that both sides are continuing to implement New START "flawlessly." He noted that the resolution of this issue depends not on who will become the next U.S. President, but rather on "U.S. admitting that the matter of nuclear disarmament cannot be considered separately from other factors affecting strategic stability," Ryabkov said. "The number of such factors does not decrease. On the contrary, it is only growing."
Over 100,000 Brits Want Netanyahu Arrested
by Stephen Lendman
On September 9, he’ll arrive in London to meet with Britain’s David Cameron. As of Saturday, September 5, over 100,000 Brits signed a petition to arrest him - likely many more by September 9.
Netanyahu was responsible for genocidal war crimes and mass destruction against Gaza last summer, noncombatant civilians suffering most, willfully targeted by Israel’s killing machine, on his direct orders, an unindicted mass-murderer.
Once past the 100,000 threshold, the petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. The Palestinian Forum and Palestine Solidarity Campaign urged supporters to participate in a mass public protest during Cameron/Netanyahu discussions next week.
A PSC statement says “Netanyahu bears direct responsibility for war crimes identified by the UN Human Rights Council following Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza last summer.”
Jeremy Corbyn Elected Britain’s New Labour Party Leader
by Stephen Lendman
Longtime British Labour party MP since 1983, Corbyn was considered a 100 - 1 shot for its leadership after declaring his candidacy in June, on an anti-war, anti-austerity platform, saying:
“This decision to stand is in response to an overwhelming call by Labour party members who want to see a broader range of candidates and a thorough debate about the future of the party. I am standing to give Labour party members a voice in this debate.”He promised a “different economic strategy, particularly opposing austerity” - calling other Labour leadership candidates cardboard cutouts of each other - failing to offer “a clear enough alternative on the economic strategy and austerity, and our attitude to welfare expenditure.”
Nazis Riot Again in Kiev to Force Resuming War Poroshenko Lies About Ukrainian Public Opinion, in Order to Justify Resuming Invasion of Donbass
Eric Zuesse
On Monday, August 31st, racist fascists (nazis) who hate Russians rioted in front of Ukraine’s parliament building to demand resumption of the unlimited bombing campaign against the breakaway former Ukrainian region, Donbass, which had voted 90%+ for the neutralist Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, whose government these nazis had helped the U.S. to overthrow in February 2014. A rabidly anti-Russian government was installed in its stead, and these demonstrators want this government to violate the Minsk II accords that Ukraine had signed, and to return to full-scale war.
According to the report from Russian Television, “At least 10 special forces troops have been injured as a grenade exploded during clashes in front of the parliament in the Ukrainian capital.”
Israel Protecting Killers of Immolated Palestinians
by Stephen Lendman
On July 31, unidentified Israeli settlers set the Dawabsha family home ablaze - killing husband and wife Saad and Riham as well as their 18-month-old infant Ali.
Four-year-old Ahmed alone survived so far - whether able to recover from severe third-degree burns remains to be seen. At best, he faces months of pain and suffering along with excruciating treatment and rehabilitation, likely remaining traumatized longterm from his ordeal. At worst, he may perish like his parents and brother. On September, 10, Haaretz headlined “Israeli Authorities Know Who Burned Palestinian Family Alive, Defense Minister Says.”
Labeling Israeli Settlement Products Not Good EnoughV
by Stephen Lendman
Last spring, 16 European foreign ministers urged EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to require labeling of all Israeli settlement products - so consumers can buy or avoid them at their discretion.
Labeling is “an important step in the full implementation of EU longstanding policy,” they said. At best, it’s symbolic. At worst, a weak-kneed gesture with no meaningful effect on Israel’s economy.
By year-end or sooner, the EU is expected to decide up or down on labeling. Mogherini said “(t)he work is close to being finished but it is still ongoing.” If implemented, it’ll only be a guideline, not mandated policy. Individual EU states can do what they please - showing what’s being considered is a sham, an insult to long-suffering Palestinians. Some EU nations already intend to require labeling - regardless of what the European Commission decides. “We have to make sure that consumers can distinguish products that come from the territories occupied by Israel,” Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said.
