IOF jeep runs over youth, 30 Israelis gang up over Palestinian

IOF soldiers used their jeep to deliberately run over a Palestinian youth in Qalqilia city called Khaled Dughmesh before arresting him, witnesses reported.

They said that the 21-year-old youth, who hails from Jibla village southeast of Qalqilia city, was moderately wounded in the incident.

The witnesses pointed out that Dughmesh was driving a cart when the army jeep hit the cart

In another atrocity, around 30 Israelis ganged up on a Palestinian young man in Karmiel city on Saturday and turned his car upside down.

Arab press in the 1948 occupied areas said that Hazem Jabran, 22, from the Rame town near Safad city, was waiting in his car for his sister when the group of fanatic Israelis approached him and smashed his car’s window shields wounding him in the left leg before turning it over.

The fanatics then started punching the youth while shouting "death to the Arabs" and when his sister arrived she screamed for help and finally a police car arrived to the scene and took him to a nearby hospital before he filed an official complaint with the police, the Panet website and Panorama newspaper reported.

Trump, commenting on the economic bailout plan said the $700 billion plan is probably necessary

Real estate mogul Donald Trump says the proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial industry is a "black eye" for an American economy that was "rushing into one big depression."

Trump says the bailout is "probably needed" to stave off an economic depression brought about by "lots of bad policy by the Bush administration."

He says he’s endorsed John McCain for president.

Trump says the Republican candidate has smart people around him.

Trump spoke yesterday at the topping off ceremony for his Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. The 92-story commercial and residential development will be the second-tallest building in the city after the Sears Tower.

The media may revel in a Mossad hit, yet Britain’s response to a plot that could threaten its own citizens has been craven

Imagine for a moment what the reaction would be if ­Iranian ­intelligence was almost ­unversally believed to have ­assassinated a leader of one of the organisations fighting the Tehran government in a western-friendly state. Then consider how Britain, let alone the US, might respond if the killers had carried out the ­operation ­using forged or stolen passports of ­citizens of four European states, including Britain, with dual Iranian nationality.

You can be sure it would have ­triggered a major international storm, stentorian declarations about the threat of state-sponsored terrorism, and ­perhaps a debate at the UN ­security council, with demands for harsher ­sanctions against an increasingly ­dangerous Islamic republic.

The Executive Director of Kashmir Centre London, Professor Nazir Ahmad Shawl has condemned the continued Indian state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

Professor Shawl in a statement issued in London saluted the steadfastness and unwavering commitment of the Kashmiri people for continuing their liberation struggle. He expressed grave concern over the killing of civilians in indiscriminate firing of Indian police at Palhalan in Pattan.

The Executive Director asked the Indian government and its authorities in occupied Kashmir to release all the illegally detained Hurriyet leaders and activists including Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai and Aasiya Andrabi. He appealed to the international human organisations to raise their voice for bringing an end to India’s iron-fisted policy in the occupied territory.

Professor Shawl urged the pro-freedom leadership to forge greater unity among its ranks to defeat the nefarious designs of New Delhi to suppress the liberation movement. “The international media has taken a serious notice of the ongoing struggle which augurs well for the ultimate success. At this critical juncture cohesion and single-mindedness are very important,” he added.
