Israeli Apartheid

Assassinations and extrajudicial killings are banned under both US and International Law, and until all the facts are established the sinister motives of the murky raid leading to the brutal murder of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan will have dire consequences.

As more information comes to light, facts such as Osama bin Laden was unarmed, the premises was not guarded and that his wife was not used as a human shield and was shot in the leg trying to protect herself- shows just how revolting and arrogant America is, a far cry from being the champion of human rights.

The Americans never showed any evidence of bin Laden’s alleged crimes. Let us recall that when the Taliban refused to extradite bin Laden to the USA, the US representatives told the Taliban,’ either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs.’ The Taliban refused.

In the wake of the 9/11 atrocity, the neocons under Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney, in league with Israel, was provided with the opportunity to launch illegitimate military invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, men, women and children, have been murdered by the Western coalition.

Sayyed Nasrallah: We Accept Official Results; Let’s Start Building our Country 
Mohamad Shmaysani   

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah delivers a speech on Al-Manar TV.
 
“Tonight I will tackle Sunday’s election and the outcome.
First, I would like to congratulate all the Lebanese people, opposition and loyalty, on this great national achievement. I would also like to laud the popular presence that reflects a great national responsibility. This is a positive point. I also seize the moment to thank the ministries and the public administrations, the Lebanese army and the security forces, for the handling of the electoral process and for preserving security and stability. These administrations were in front of a major challenge of holding general elections on a single day. Despite some flaws, which we’ll assess later, the challenge was faced with responsibility. I congratulate the winners who have to know that they have just taken the responsibility of the people. We accept the announced results by the Interior Minister. Contesting the results at the Constitutional Council is another matter. We accept the results and we accept that the rival camp has secured the majority of parliament seats, knowing that the opposition has also kept its seats. In past speeches, I used to say that there is a difference between a parliamentary majority and a popular majority. If most votes have given the majority to the March 14 bloc, I would accept this regardless of our evaluation to the whole process. We accept the result regardless of the huge expenditure that will illustrated in the days to come; regardless of the sectarian incitement and the lies that were aimed to intimidate the public opinion, especially in some particular districts and regardless of open foreign interference, however I will not tackle this tonight and this will not affect our acceptance to the results.”
