israel to raze 42,000 Palestinian homes

The Israeli interior minister, Roni Bar-On, declared that his ministry has planned the demolition of more than 42,000 homes of Palestinian Bedouins that were built even before 1948 when Israel was proclaimed.

The minister, speaking at a session for the Israeli parliament's interior committee, claimed that all those houses were "illegal" and warned that any new homes built in the so-called "unrecognized" villages in the Negev desert would be razed.

According to PIC, the regional council for those villages, not recognized by Israel, said in a statement commenting on the minister's statement said that what the minister threatened meant the destruction of an entire community.

israel insists that it has a "right to exist" as a state, yet denies Palestinians the right to exist as human beings.

On the ground, the Israeli authorities on Wednesday demolished 17 houses in Tawil village, Negev desert, and assaulted an old woman and four young men who tried to stop them.

Appalling. Barbaric. Apartheid. israel.

Almost half of all global assets owned by only 1% of the world's adults

One percent of the world's adults owns 40 percent of all global assets, according to a United Nations report that describes a growing gap between rich and poor.

That chunk of the world's wealth is held by the 37 million people with a net worth of $500,000 or more, according to the Helsinki-based World Institute for Development Economics of the U.N. University.

The report - the first by the United Nations to measure components of household wealth including homes, land, investments and debts - focuses on net worth rather than income, Bloomberg reports.

Researchers defined wealth as the value of physical and financial assets minus debts.

"Income inequality has been rising for the past 20-25 years and we think that is true for inequality in the distribution of wealth," said James Davies, a professor of economics at the University of Western Ontario, one of the report's authors.

"There is a whole group of problems in developing countries that make it difficult for people to build up assets, which are important, since life is so precarious," he said.

The gulf between rich and poor nations has long concerned politicians and economists, who say it is one of the biggest obstacles to development, Scotsman.com reports.

The world's total household wealth amounted to $125 trillion in the year 2000, a sum which, averaged out, should give every adult $20,500. But in some countries, average per capita wealth was below $2,000, while the richest ranked many times higher, thestar.com says.

According to the study, almost all of the world's richest individuals live in North America , Europe , and rich Asia-Pacific countries.

Each of these groups of countries contribute about one third of the members of the world's wealthiest 10 per cent.

China occupies much of the middle third of the global wealth distribution, while India, Africa, and low-income Asian countries dominate the bottom third.

A small number of countries, the study finds, account for most of the wealthiest 10 per cent in the world.

One-quarter are Americans and another 20 per cent are Japanese. These two countries feature even more strongly among the richest one per cent of individuals in the world, with 37 per cent residing in the USA and 27 per cent in Japan.

The researchers found that assets of USD 2,200 per adult placed a household in the top half of the world wealth distribution in the year 2000.

Using currency exchange rates, global household wealth amounted to USD 125 trillion in the year 2000, equivalent to roughly three times the value of total global production (GDP) or to USD 20,500 per person, Economictimes reports.

'Land Of The Free, Home Of The Brave.' America now has staggering 7 million jailed citizens

As many people around the World continue in their amazement over the total moral and economic collapse of the American Nation, a possible new clue as to why this so was revealed this past week with the United States Department of Justice announcing the staggering rate in which their government has been jailing their own citizens, and which now stands at 7 million Americans.

Handcuffs of the American freedom

According to these reports, 'A record 7 million people - or one in every 32 American adults - were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year', and when these figures are added to the estimated 1 million prisoners of war held by the Untied States, all around the World, the once great American Nation has now become the greatest jailer of human beings the World has ever known.

More importantly about these numbers, however, is the debilitating effect they are having upon the American society as a whole due to the fact that these horrific numbers are a direct reflection of the Totalitarian Fascist Nation they have truly become. So draconian has life in the United States become, in fact, that their Nation's internal security police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), this past week received permission to monitor all American citizens by eavesdropping on their cell phones, and which according to these reports they are able to do even if the cell phones are turned off.

Just as devastating to the American people as the total loss of their freedoms is the economic nightmare they are now entering, and as we can read as reported by Britain's The Guardian News Service in their article titled "Plunging dollar will set world markets reeling", and which says:

"The slowdown in the US economy, which has sent the dollar into freefall over the past fortnight, will have devastating knock-on effects in markets around the world, analysts warn. As the US slows, and consumers in the world's biggest economy feel the buying power of the dollar in their pocket declining, global growth will be hit hard, economists say. The greenback took yet another turn for the worse on Friday, after a survey of the US manufacturing sector showed output declining for the first time in more than three years."

It has been well said by others, that when the American War Leader Bush announced after the September 11, 2001 that the American Nation was in danger of losing its freedoms, he was more right than many of these helpless people knew, but not to any terrorist have the American people lost their freedoms, but from the actions of their own government has this been done.

Most sadly, though, about the American people of today is the effect their Totalitarian Fascist Nation is having on their most precious possessions, their children, and who have indeed turned into exactly those types of children warned about by the great British writer George Orwell, and who in his book '1984' sent these words of warnings to his American friends:

"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children."

The United States - "the land of the free" -- indeed, free from freedom, free from liberty, free from rights, free to die by the states/Khazars hands whenever they please.

Also note how those EXECUTED ARE NOT "JEWS" --- Ah, Shucks! Jews are cute and adorable, and kind and loving, they wouldn't dare touch a hair on a human being -- the problem here is that THEY DO NOT CONSIDER ANYONE ELSE HUMAN!

USA executes its citizens every ten days

Texas is the leading unit of the USA on the number of executed death sentences: 355 deaths

The day of November 30, 2005 will mark the execution of the 1,000th death sentence in the USA since the moment when death penalty was reinstated in the country: murderer Robin Lovitt sentenced to death penalty in Virginia back in 1999 will die by electric chair.

US-based organization Death Penalty Information Center released a survey of facts regarding the state of affairs in the field of death sentences and their execution in the USA in connection with the forthcoming significant event in the nation. The report presents pure statistics and lacks any comments, which makes the document rather an objective material for further analysis.

Adversaries of death penalty made US authorities pass an adequate moratorium in 1967. Death for severe crimes was substituted with lifetime imprisonment without pardon. In 1972 the US Supreme Court abolished the laws about death penalty in several states, where they were practiced, and described them as incidental and willful. However, a sudden upsurge of severe crimes in the USA made the Supreme Court retrieve the right for authorities in 1972 to apply death penalty against inmates.

For the time being, death penalty is excluded from legal systems of only 12 of USA's 50 states: Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Man, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Vermont, Rhode Island, West Virginia and Wisconsin. There is no death penalty in Columbia DC, where the US capital is situated, and in US-controlled Puerto Rico. Death penalty moratorium is currently in effect in the states of Illinois and New Jersey.

The USA is proud of the fact that the national legal system has been searching for humane methods of executing death penalties for 120 years already. The process was initiated on 1 January 1889, when the authorities of the state of New York passed the Electrical Execution Law. The first execution with the use of electric chair took place on 6 August 1890: electric current killed a man named as William Kemmler, who hacked his lover, Matilda Ziegler, to death with an axe.

Nebraska is the only state in present-day USA, which uses electric chair as the only execution tool and has no other alternative for it. In all other 37 states, where death penalty is legal, convicted criminals are put down by means of lethal injections. Alternative methods of execution include: electric chair (Alabama, Arkansas, South Caroline, Virginia), gas chamber (Wyoming, California, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Arizona), hanging (Washington and New Hampshire) and shooting (Idaho and Oklahoma).

About 3,400 people are currently waiting for their death sentences to be executed in the USA. It is noteworthy that 122 people from 25 states have been struck out of the sad list since 1973, when supplementary investigation found them not guilty of incriminated crimes.

Texas is the leading unit of the USA on the number of executed death sentences: 355 citizens have been executed in Texas since the abolishment of the moratorium. The majority of 999 executed individuals in the USA were killed with lethal injections – 828 people. US authorities have executed 20 foreign citizens since 1976. Fifty citizens of Mexico, six Cuban nationals, six Jamaican citizens, five residents of Salvador, five natives of Vietnam, four Colombian nationals, three citizens of Cambodia, three individuals holding Honduran citizenship and two Germans anticipate similar fates. As for racial and ethnical affiliation of individuals executed since 1976, 58 percent of them were white, 34 percent – black, six percent of the executed were Latin Americans, and two percent represented people of other races.

According to the October research prepared by Gallup, 64 percent of Americans support death penalty in the USA (against 80 percent in 1994). The number of death sentences halved in the III Millennium in comparison with the nineties of the past century. On average, the USA executes one person every ten days.

A research by Amnesty International said that only 25 countries executed death penalties in 2004, whereas the mast majority of them (97 percent) was conducted in China, Iran, Vietnam and the USA. It brings up the idea that the US administration will not be pleased to know that the USA now stands next to those countries, which it constantly blames for violation of human rights and democratic standards.

I'm still vibrating with anger.

I lifted your story, and kept your title as subheadline.

My headline,

"ETHNIC FUCKING CLEANSERS TO DESTROY 42,000 PALESTINIAN HOMES"

The US-backed Zionist sumbitches are using the old Fabian Socialist trick called "gradualism".

Incrementally, the Palestinians are being driven to the zionazis' ovens. There's nothing more these crazed fucks would love to do than corral the Arabs and nuke them.

This process is slow. Traditional media is quite aware of it, but pretend like it has slipped under the radar.

Time to wake up Americans to their complicity in mass murder.

how comes israel can commit crimes against humanity and get away with it.there are a lot of people that knows the truth about what is happening in this state but dont speak up.it is time to put a stop to these barbaric and racist acts of brutality and stop defending these aggressors and stop treating them as victims .

And soon enough israel will be surrounded by some of the most pissed off humans ever to walk planet hell ever. Millions upon millions of folks with nothing more than a rake or a piece of smashed olive tree to make his or her point with. millions of folks can easily breach a 25 foot wall Even if it is 400 Km long and made of steel reinforced concrete. The futile road israeli leaders have been duping the whole world with is about to fall.

Long live Palestine! Take your shekels and GO AWAY israelis!

As Israel show more facist fangs I wait for the day when all Arab countries STOP the flow of oil to the west for tacitly supporting Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. As an American taxpayer i simply cannot understand why all of our politicians bow down before Israel, follow their orders and send BILLIONS of our tax dollars to such a fascist country. Israelis kill 6-8 palestinians for every Israeli killed. Their leaders have been quoted many times of wanting the palestinian territories as part of 'biblical' Israel, palestinians are 'dogs' who should be crushed beneath our feet, etc. You will NEVER see any of these quotes in 'mainstream' media here because Israel controls the U.S. Just look at how well their complicity in 9/11 was covered up and classified!

Khazar/Israeli/"jewish" complicity in 911 is an understatement.

The videos, photo evidence, firefighter radio recordings, analysis, melted steel pillars, etc -- ah, and Larry "Lucky" Silverstein's CONFESSION VIDEO -- and the pathetic, simply PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO FRAME THE ARABS!

The 19 highjackers who can NOT be shown to be on the plane -- what, they were NINJAS hiding in the glove compartment, or perhaps the overhead carry-on compartment, why don't we have EVIDENCE of them GETTING ON AND STAYING ON THE PLANE?!

And then the "heat" from the fires that "melted" the CONCRETE REINFORCED HEAVY DUTY THICK STEEL SUPPORT COLUMNS -- when PEOPLE WERE VISIBLE IN PHOTOS AND VIDEOS LOOKING OUT OF THE DAMAGED WINDOWS. How is it that concrete and steel can melt but HUMAN FLESH DOES NOT???? -------

------ quite simply it DOESN'T.

And the "convenience" of the HATE CAMPAIGN against Arabs & Muslims AND ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR (especially dark-skinned people)..... just too convenient isn't it White Ashkenazi Khazars....

NO, it's not just 'complicity', but MASTERMIND BEHIND THE 911 TERROR Attack!

When I read the weekly flyers, I couldn't tell you what one-third of the devices being sold in the tech ads are or actually do. I doubt much consideration was given to their military applications in a guerrilla fashion. There are so many new things that one of them will surely be lethal in its revolutionary application.

I have written in the past that State of Israel is a de facto terrorist state & that Zionists consider themselves above all others, even true Semitic Jews who condemn Zionism as an evil plague.

Outrageous conduct by State of Israel towards the indigenous Palestinians (who had co-existed peacefully with true Semitic Jews before Zionist lunatics forced the artificial creation of Israel through propaganda campaign pushed on President Truman and the U.N. through pressure, terrorist & blackmail campaigns) and the Lebanese Christians & Moslems define the meaning of genocide.

The present State of Israel is an illegitimate rogue state that should never have been created in the first place. It is the cancer of the world and the proof is in the brainwashing of the Washington policitio by the lobbying powers that place Israel above all nations through the agglomeration of blackmail, power, money and influence.

They disregard sovereignty & loyalty to the (foreign in their mind) state on the matter of national security (defense, good morals & healthily stimulating economy that benefit everyone regardless of class & background) as irrelevant but consider Yisraelim Zion ultra-nationalism essential as the encompassing mindset required for the people reared in Talmudic Zionism (born, raised & trained in the art of psychological conditioning to manipulate and exploit, rape, torture, murder, fraud & deceit in service of the Devil) to swear the oath in the burning ambition of quest for the eventual accomplishment of the nefarious secret plan -- the emergence of New World Order for the benefit of expansionist Greater Israel which is the embodiment of Satanic forces of bloodlust terrorism and blood-drenched tyranny.

No comment on your question (for obvious reasons).

There's a lot people can do to drive the Zionist pigs out of our country and Palestine.

Taking away the profit motive is one of the best. Those savages love money more than their own children.

Choose where you shop and what you buy. Don't buy any goods made in Nazi Israel. Don't frequent small businesses run by those savages.

Where you see anything made there: if theres a space where you can put a note inside to inflame a purchaser against Nazi Israel; do it!

LOUDLY proclaim at checkout that they are selling things in their store that fund TERRORISIM!

Do the same about everything from MEXICO. Those stinking illegal ALIENS are wrecking our country and are being encouraged by the Zionists to invade and wreck our way of life. WACK A MESICAN TOO!

the Zionists hate Christians and Americans as much as they hate the Arabs.

Remember the USS Liberty and get revenge where our cowardly government refused to act.

K Smith; I am disappointed that you had no comment to my question. And rather than a mere comment, just a simple HONEST answer would do. But since you have "obvious reasons" not to be more forthcoming about your proposed methodologies and current quotas for whacking, would it be safe to presume that you do indeed have a stack of whackees somewhere down there on the lower forty ? Otherwise you would have nothing to hide, correct ? It is my sincere hope that after reviewing Qrswaves' sage and timely advice in this regard, that you might be persuaded to mend some of your whacky ways, as your pent up energies could conceivably put to greater use in organizing a National Zionazi Boycott. Right there is where you're really hittin' on all five cylinders, K ! And after you finally get that U.S.S. Liberty affair all straightened up, I suggest you paddle your steamboat "back to Nagasaki, where the fellers chew tobacky, and the women Wicky WACKY Woo" !!-- Very Truly Yours, Harry Warren

ACTION ALERT

For Immediate Release
December 7, 2006

According to recent reports, Israeli interior minister, Roni Bar-On,
declared that his ministry has planned the demolition of more than 42,000
Palestinian homes in the Naqab (Negev) region of Palestine, inside the
borders of present-day Israel. Reports this morning indicate that the
village of Twail Abu-Jarwal has been demolished by the Zionist occupation.
This barbaric escalation against the Palestinians of the Naqab region is a
continuation of the ongoing Zionist project to remove from Palestine its
indigenous inhabitants, and that Israel has practiced since its inception
since 1948.

The Palestinians in the Naqab region carry "Israeli citizenship". This
latest act of destruction once again shows that, like their fellow
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the over six million
exiled from their homeland and denied their right to return, Palestinians
inside Israel who carry "Israeli citizenship" remain less than second-class
citizens, subject to the same policies of ethnic cleansing.

Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, calls on its members,
supporters and all people of conscience to protest the ongoing
home demolitions and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians at the hands
of the Israeli occupation forces by:

1. Organizing demonstrations in front of Israeli embassies and consulates.

2. Staging street theatre in major cities and towns dramatizing house
demolitions.

3. Organizing protests in front of the offices of the Caterpillar
Corporation and demanding that Caterpillar immediately stop
supplying Israel bulldozers it uses to demolish Palestinian homes. See
http://www.caterpillar.com/ for information on company locations throughout
North America.

4. Writing your Representatives and Senators to stop immediately all funding
and military supplies and shipments to Israel. Remind them that ethnic
cleansing is a war crime and constitutes a grave violation of international
law. For contact information, go to
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ .

5. Writing to the media. Go to http://newslink.org/ for contact information.

6. Making a donation to help the people whose homes have been demolished by
Israel in the Naqab. To do so please go to
http://www.al-awda.org/donate.html and simply follow the instructions.
Please indicate that your donation is for Al-Awda's Naqab Emergency Fund.
