Ce dimanche 11 octobre, 9 h 30 : Le développement du militarisme et l’agenda sécuritaire

Ce dimanche 11 octobre, 14 h 30: La survie de l'humanité

[CMAQ note: it is reported that the gravely injured person was left unattended for 30 minutes on the ground, because the army prevented anyone from helping.]

On Wednesday, 30 September 2009, the Israeli army murdered a Palestinian youth outside his school, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam high school in Yabad village, west of Jenin. This school had been closed from 2001-2006.

Not only the Western walkout at the UN 2009 Ahmadinejad speech is a part of a repeating show, consciously the Western countries make no distinction between Ahmadinejad's just criticism on Israel and his alleged ''anti-semitic rhetoric''

Since the Western countries are directly and indirectly supporting the Israeli occupation, it is a shame and disgrace, that they walkout at this very speech, which brings into light the Israeli war-crimes and the Western implicite consent.

Palestinian village's Court Case is dismissed by Quebec Judge

Montreal, September 28th, 2009 (Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East) - In his decision of September 18th, Judge Louis-Paul Cullen of the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the case of the Palestinian village of Bil'in which had filed a lawsuit against Green Mount International Inc. and Green Park International Inc., two companies registered in Quebec and involved in the construction of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The judge based his argument on the legal exception of forum non conveniens, arguing that Quebec courts lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate, arguing that the case must be decided in Israeli courts.

* Different organizations and individuals from Venezuela with tradition in the social struggles linked to different anti-authoritarian and critical leftist approaches, with whom we have converged at the space called INSURGENTES, set position before the exhumations of the Caracazo.

Today, September 24, the Optional Protocol (see below) is open for State signatures at a signing ceremony in New York. It is a Treaty Even for Heads of State at United Nations Headquarters. The earlier title of this article was Global Systematic Discrimination against the Poor altered because of today’s signing.

Workers belonging to the Coalition Against Contractualization (KONTRA) today marched to Mendiola to mark the anniversary of the signing of Proclamation 1081 that imposed Martial Law 37 years ago and to reaffirm their vows to never again let the country slip into darkness.

The Optional Protocol (a complaints procedure) for the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights due to be signed by States on September 24, 2009, will, by its exclusion of the core minimum obligations of the State from this international human rights law, permit global systematic discrimination against the most disadvantaged on the grounds of social origin (Article 2(1), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights).

When I read "Intervening abroad: Do we have the means to match our will?" in the Globe and Mail by Tom Flanagan, I could only wonder at the basis of tenure in our universities, for, truly, here are bits of weak observation, clichés, and half-truths pasted together and offered as analysis. Worse, there is a thread of partisan propaganda holding the bits together like a string of beads.

“Harper announced that his Conservative government would adhere to the national interest in formulating Canada's foreign policy…”

WHAT IS THE CO$T SAVING$ FOR THIS VERY WEALTHY COUNTRY OF AMERICA TO HAVE SILENT RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO ALL HAVE HEALTH~CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES AND.....................

PHILIPPINES: A Maoist communist propaganda gambit.

THE “ALLEGED abduction, illegal detention, and torture” of a certain Melissa Roxas, reportedly in May 19, 2009, has indeed startled the very core of human civilities.

Press Release: Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East

(Ontario, Sept. 1, 2009) - Canadians visiting the Israeli-occupied West Bank over the last few months have been met by an unwelcome surprise at the border. Israeli officials have recently begun issuing a new and onerous type of entrance visa to international visitors with family or business in the West Bank. The new visas restrict travel to Palestinian areas only and often limit visitors' length of stay to one month. Meanwhile, other international visitors to Israel are allowed a three month stay, and may travel within Israel proper freely.
