According to a Haaretz.com news story, Belgium’s Defense Minister said last week that he would act to extract payment from Israel for the removal of cluster bomb fragments that the Israel Defense Forces fired into Lebanese territory during the Second Lebanon War.
During a meeting with representatives of Medical Aid for the Third World (MATW), an international medical organization, Defense Minister Andre Flahaut said the weapon was “the resort of cowards and a violation of international law.”
The organization’s coordinator, Dr. Bert De Belder, told Haaretz that Flahaut was receptive to the idea that Israel should be regarded as a polluter, and be made to pay for the removal of the pollution so far estimated at $13 million.
De Belder added he had not seen “a shred of evidence” that Hezbollah also fired cluster bombs into Israel.

These should not be allowed to own or carry guns:
-
- All Federal Government officials, including FBI and CIA.
- Executives and owners of Large businesses (annual turnover $5 million and more)
- Millionaires.
- Private Security guards.
- Bodyguards of the rich.
These should be allowed to own and carry guns:
-
- State and Local officials.
- Small business owners with annual turnover less than $5 million.
- Ordinary citizens earning less than $100,000 annual.
This will protect the weak from the tyranny and injustices of the federal government and the super rich. It will make the executives of large businesses more honest knowing that people will rebel against them.

Looks like israeli covert ops against British journalists in Gaza is backfiring abysmally.
Britain’s National Union of Journalists has voted to boycott Israeli goods in protest against last year’s “savage, pre-planned attack” on Lebanon and the “slaughter of civilians” in Gaza.It compared the situation to apartheid in South Africa, and called for Britain and the UN to impose sanctions on Israel.
Note that the New York Times ran this story leaving out the quote “savage pre-planned attack” and instead citing the group’s milder objection to “Israel’s ‘military adventures’.” Good old selective zionist reporting.
The International Herald Tribune, on the other hand, reported that following the vote the union received anonymous emails from the US saying that kidnapped journalist Alan “Johnston ’should be put in a concentration camp’ or tried for hate crimes.”
I wonder, who would be vile enough to say something like that while his anguished parents listen to rumors that he’s been executed by “vicious Palestinians” in the Gaza strip?
This whole episode stinks of a Mossad covert operation designed to smear Palestinians while at the same time deterring journalists from covering Gaza.
The TRUTH is that israelis and corporate zionists in general HATE journalists, much as they HATE labor unions, and they do everything in their power both to silence journalists and to destroy labor unions wherever they’re found.
Take for example, the two israelis wanted for training death squads in Colombia.
Their aim was to teach right wing paramilitaries how to “eliminate” all left wing opposition, which includes prominent members of Colombian labor unions.
The TRUTH is that zionists hate labor unions precisely because UNIONS embody the true spirit of democracy both domestically (in any country) and worldwide.
Contrary to their hollow incantations of being the only democracy in the Middle East, zionists despise democracy because it is eternally incompatible with the notion that a small minority of the world’s population can be “chosen” by God over all the rest.
israel is NOT a democracy – it’s the antithesis of one.
