Mehadrin “Jaffa” Oranges May Come from Occupied Palestinian Land
http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=15828

Jaffa oranges sold in European supermarkets labeled “Made in Israel” may have been grown and packaged in the occupied Palestinian West Bank, according to a report from the Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) movement, an international coalition of Palestinian NGOs and activists.

“Farming Injustice” - published in February 2013 - profiles several companies including Mehadrin, Israel’s largest grower and exporter of dates, citrus fruits and vegetables. The company sells “Jaffa” brand oranges to European countries, farm produce to Canada, Japan and the U.S. and also supplies water for Mekorot, Israel’s national water company.

The same month 16 Palestinian agricultural and civil society groups signed a statement calling for governments and retailers to take action against companies like Mehadrin that source produce from occupied lands.

Halabja and America’s Support for Using Chemical Weapons Against Iran
http://goingtotehran.com/halabja-and-americas-support-for-using-chemical-weapons-against-iran

Halabja marked something of a turning point in the United States’ scandalous support for Saddam Husayn’s war of aggression against the Islamic Republic—including his use of chemical weapons against civilian as well as military targets.  Ever since the Iraqi military had started using chemical weapons in 1982 and Iran had started complaining about it to the United Nations Security Council, the United States had blocked any Security Council action on the matter.  As we recount in Going to Tehran, UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, acting on his own (because the Security Council wouldn’t support him), sent six fact-finding teams to investigate Iraq’s use of chemical weapons between 1984 and 1988.  Their reports consistently confirmed Iran’s charges—and just as consistently, the United States refused to let the Council act.  As then Secretary of State George Shultz later explained, Washington blocked international pressure on Iraq to stop using chemical weapons because “you don’t want Iran to win the war.”

It was only after the Iraqi military was caught red-handed in a chemical weapons attack on Halabja—again, not located in Iran, but in Iraqi Kurdistan—that even the United States felt compelled to let the Council take formal notice.  But when it finally adopted Resolution 612 in May 1988, the Council (at U.S. insistence) merely condemned “the continued use of chemical weapons in the conflict between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iraq,” without specifying who had been using them, and exhorted “both sides to refrain from the future use of chemical weapons,” though no credible charges that Iran used chemical weapons have ever been advanced.”

’Falluja Babies’ and Depleted Uranium — America’s Toxic Legacy in Iraq | Alternet

Dr Mozghan Savabieasfahani is an environmental toxicologist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is the author of more than two dozen peer reviewed articles, most of which deal with the health impact of toxicants and war pollutants. Her research now focuses on war pollution and the rising epidemic of birth defects in Iraqi cities.

“After bombardment, the targeted population will often remain in the ruins of their contaminated homes, or in buildings where metal exposure will continue,” Dr Savabieasfahani told Al Jazeera.

“Our research in Fallujah indicated that the majority of families returned to their bombarded homes and lived there, or otherwise rebuilt on top of the contaminated rubble of their old homes. When possible, they also used building materials that were salvaged from the bombarded sites. Such common practices will contribute to the public’s continuous exposure to toxic metals years after the bombardment of their area has ended.”

She pointed out how large quantities of DU bullets, as well as other munitions, were released into the Iraqi environment.

Even if Iran gets the Bomb, it won’t be worth going to war -

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9892742/Even-if-Iran-gets-the-Bomb-it-wont-be-worth-going-to-war.html

’All options remain on the table”, goes the mantra. This is code for saying that the West retains the choice of using military force to stop Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. We’ll hear it repeated this week, as negotiations between Iran and the “P5 +1” (the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and Germany) resume in Kazakhstan. On occasions, I’ve used the phrase myself. But the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve become convinced that it is a hindrance to negotiations, rather than a help.
If Iran were to attack Israel, or, say, one of its Arab neighbours, international law is clear: the victim has the right to retaliate. But such an attack is highly improbable. Under Article 42 of the UN Charter, the Security Council can authorise military action where there’s a “threat to international peace and security”. Such resolutions were the legal basis for the actions against Iraq in 1991 and 2003, and Libya in 2011. But there are no such Article 42 resolutions against Iran; and there won’t be – China and Russia would veto them.

Why Did Bulgaria Link Hizballah To The Burgas Bus Blast? http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/10153/why-did-bulgaria-link-hizballah-to-the-burgas-bus-

Bulgaria – A Smokescreen for US-Israel?

The statement released by the Bulgarian government has sparked a great deal of speculation. It marks the end of a hectic three-months in which Tsvetanov, the Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and Mladenov spent a considerable amount of time shuttling between the US and Israel. The high-level visits included meetings with the US President Barack Obama, his chief counterterrorism advisor John Brennan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This all makes it easy to speculate that the US and Israel have been heavily involved in the investigation and invested in any possible outcome that sought to hasten blame on Hizballah.

The US Congress adopted a declaration in December urging the EU to denounce Hizballah as a terrorist organization and asking Obama to provide all necessary support to Bulgaria to conduct its investigation. As the Bulgarian opposition suspected, it is highly possible that government officials were under considerable pressure from the US and Israel, which are trying to use the bombing as a smokescreen to further complicate the intricacies in the Middle East in view of the current situation in Syria and Lebanon.

Wrong paths to peace: the re-emergence of armed violence in northern Mali — www.sipri.org

http://www.sipri.org/media/newsletter/essay/Wilandh_Nov12
Helen Wilandh

On 26 November, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is expected to submit to the United Nations Security Council a detailed plan for a military intervention to help the Malian Government to regain control of the country’s troubled northern regions. The international community—in particular Mali’s neighbours and European countries fearing a spillover of extremist violence—is eager to see the radical Islamists now controlling the region driven out. However, this extreme response is arguably only needed because too much priority has been given to security, at the expense of development efforts to the political, economical and social complexity of the situation in northern Mali.
A history of instability and broken promises

Violence has broken out many times in northern Mali over the years, both before and since the country’s independence from France in 1960. The most recent developments—intensified clashes between the Malian Army and northern Tuareg rebel movements in January 2012; a military coup two months later; rebels taking control of much of the north shortly afterwards; and extremist Islamic factions then seizing rebel-held areas—need to be understood in terms of long-term political failings that have subjected the north to what has been called a form of ‘economic asphyxia

Mikati Sidesteps Another Toppling Attempt
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/mikati-sidesteps-another-toppling-attempt

The third position was that the five permanent members of the UNSC, especially those most active in Lebanon, France and the US, look at Mikati’s government favorably.

This was based on several policies concerning Lebanon’s relationship with the international community, namely its disengagement from the situation in Syria and respecting international commitments.

Lebanon’s Siniora had said ‘no’ to Malta hosting UN tribunal on Hariri assassination
http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/newsdetails/news/world/Lebanon-s-Siniora-had-said-no-to-Malta-hosting-UN-tribunal-on-Hariri-

Former Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora had expressed “unease” at a United States proposal in 2007 to have Malta host the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) which was set up by a United Nations Security Council Resolution to prosecute those responsible for the 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri in Beirut.

A US embassy cable signed by Ambassador Jeffrey D. Feltman in Beirut in May 2007, revealed details of a meeting between US assistant secretary for international organisation affairs Kristen Silverberg with Lebanon’s then Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.

Silverberg had pressed Siniora on the site selection to host the tribunal and had touted Malta and Cyprus as possible venues.

But the US cable goes on to say that “concerning site selection, Siniora expressed unease over placing the tribunal in either Cyprus or Malta.”

According to the cable, Siniora said “that Syrian intelligence has numerous assets in Cyprus, while the security establishing the court in Malta may be compromised as well, but by Libyan agents.”

The Lebanese Prime Minister had indicated to the US that placing the new tribunal in a secure European city would be preferable.

Syria: Stop Grave Abuses of Children
Secretary General’s Report Should Prompt Security Council Sanctions

(New York) – The United Nations Security Council should impose an arms embargo and other targeted sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, on the Syrian leadership in response to widespread killings and other grave violations against children. A report from the secretary-general to the Security Council on June 11, 2012, on children and armed conflict highlights violations against children by Syrian Armed Forces, intelligence forces, and pro-government militias. The violations, in a climate of total impunity, include targeted killings, torture of children in detention, the use of children as human shields, and attacks on schools and their use for military operations.

Syria: West rebuffs proposal to work with Iran to solve crisis

With violence escalating in the wake of this week’s massacre of 78 Sunni villagers near the city of Hama, Kofi Annan, the international envoy to Syria met Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, to try to salvage his disintegrating ceasefire plan.

At least 20 people were killed on Friday as rebels stepped up a week-long offensive to avenge the killings in Qubair, the fourth incident of mass bloodletting directed at members of Syria’s Sunni majority in a fortnight.

Message to Libyan rebels casts doubt on Canada’s role
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/message+libyan+rebels+casts+doubt+canada+role/6533333/story.html

During a trip to eastern Libya last June, at a time when rebel forces were locked in a stalemate with troops loyal to dictator Moammar Gadhafi and many countries were calling for a ceasefire, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird actively encouraged the rebels to keep fighting.

The revelation opens a new window onto the role Canada played in the civil war - while raising questions about whether this country violated the spirit of the United Nations Security Council resolution that authorized international involvement in the conflict.

Yemeni troops appear to have unlawfully killed as many as 35 civilians in the city of Taizz since a United Nations Security Council resolution demanded on October 21, 2011 that Yemen stop attacks on civilians, Human Rights Watch said today. Most of these civilians were killed in artillery shelling by the Yemeni army that indiscriminately struck homes, a hospital, and a public square filled with protesters, witnesses told Human Rights Watch.

Russia to Thwart U.N. Sanctions on Lebanon Should it Fail to Fund STL - Naharnet
http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/16913-russia-to-thwart-u-n-sanctions-on-lebanon-should-it-fail-to-fund-stl

Russia will likely veto any United Nations Security Council action against Lebanon should it fail to fund the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, reported the daily al-Liwaa on Saturday.

An informed source told the daily that Syrian and Iranian circles view Russia and China’s veto of a U.N. resolution against Syria’s deadly crackdown on protests earlier this week as a turning point in relations between them.

It explained: “Hizbullah and its allies have acquired information about the nature of the Russia-Iranian understanding, which is linked to a Russian rockets deal, as well as financial and oil agreements, given the western sanctions against the Syrian regime.”

Ce sont des spéculations de la part d’une source non identifiée. Je note, parce que si ça ne me semble pas bien fiable, ça sera certainement commenté localement.

Russia Warns U.S., NATO Not to Aid Syrian Protesters After Libya - Businessweek
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-06-01/russia-warns-u-s-nato-not-to-aid-syrian-protesters-after-libya.html

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned the U.S. and European nations not to encourage anti-government protesters in Syria by holding out the prospect of military support like they provided in Libya.

“It is not in the interests of anyone to send messages to the opposition in Syria or elsewhere that if you reject all reasonable offers we will come and help you as we did in Libya,” Lavrov, 61, said yesterday during an interview in Moscow. “It’s a very dangerous position.”

#Syrie

Il y a quelques jours, le Washington Post a présenté, au monde émerveillé, le nouveau leader de l’opposition syrienne, Ammar Abdulhamid :

Syrian rebels don’t want U.S. aid, at least for now - Washington Times
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/mar/27/syrian-rebels-dont-want-us-aid-at-least-for-now

Ammar Abdulhamid, who has emerged as an unofficial spokesman in the West for the activists organizing the Syrian protests...

Angry Arab n’a pas tardé à faire remarquer à quel point cette prétention était ridicule :
http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2011/03/this-is-hilarious-when-western.html

This is hilarious: when Western countries select leaders for the region
They decided that a Syrian living in Washington, DC is the leader of the protests.  I wonder how many Syrians actually know who he is. (thanks Ahmet)

Joshua Landis (Syria Comment), dans un article apparemment neutre, rappelle des infos bien gênantes :
http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/?p=8864

Déjà présenté par le WaPo en juillet 2004, l’homme a trouvé l’équation idéale (ancien super-musulman donc légitime, mais plus musulman du tout donc rassurant pour le lecteur du WaPo) :

Ammar Abdulhamid is no Islamist. He did flirt with Islam and the notion of going to Afghanistan during a difficult period of introspection after dropping out of University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, but pulled away from the lures of fundamentalism. “It gave my life structure, but it enslaved the hell out of me,” he told the Washington Post’s Nora Boustany. Eventually he abandoned Islam for atheism and ultimately became an “agnostic.”

Notez bien : il pense aller en Afghanistan en... 1988. Contre les russes, donc. Pas contre les américains. (Ouf.)

Mais, dès 2005, il rejoint le Saban Center, think tank fondé par Haim Saban, dirigé par Martin Indyk, et décrit par John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt comme un élément du lobby pro-israélien.

He was appointed a visiting fellow at the Saban Center of the Brookings Institute in Washington DC, shortly after he had established the Tharwa Project [...] in June 2004.

À l’instar d’une Joumana Haddad, c’est un auteur écrivant sur un passionnant sujet à la con, mais totalement dans l’air du temps (ce qui en fait, je suppose, le Carrie Bradshaw de Damas) :

He is the author of a prize winning novel, Menstruation: A Novel, that depicts how the culture of Islam in Syria is sexually and morally repressive.

En novembre 2005, le gars soutient le rapport Mehlis avec ferveur dans le quotidien libanais Daily Star (il se présente comme « Visiting Fellow » pour le Saban Center for Middle East Policy). Aujourd’hui, plus personne ne se réfère au rapport Mehlis, sauf pour le désavouer.
http://www.mafhoum.com/press9/256P5.htm

In making up his mind on the next steps, Assad needs to consider that the Mehlis report was only a preliminary document prepared for the sake of getting an extension of the UN probe and securing Syrian cooperation. Mehlis did not put everything he had in the report and did not divulge all the pieces of evidence. This includes more taped conversations with Syrian officials, both alive and recently dead, as well as testimony by more credible witnesses whose identity still needs to be protected.

En 2005, il rejoint le Front de salut national en Syrie d’Abdel Halim Khaddam et Ali Sadreddine Bayanouni.

Following the 2005 defection of Syria’s long time Vice President Abdul Halim Khaddam, who founded the National Salvation Front in cooperation with the long-time leader of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood, Bayanuni, Ammar decided to join opposition politics directly. Abdulhamid worked to gain the NSF a place in Washington and recognition from the Bush administration. It was successful in opening an office in Washington DC, largely thanks to Ammar’s connections and support, despite considerable reluctance on the part of US lawmakers to support any organization associated to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Selon Landis, il quitte cet attelage trop ouvertement associé à l’administration Bush (en 2007 ?) :

Ammar quite the National Salvation Front in 2007 shortly before it was dissolved at the time the Obama administration took office.

Avec un curriculum pareil, il semble impossible de ne pas être proclamé représentant d’un truc arabe quelconque par le Washington Post.
