Israeli Apartheid

It did not take the Israel Lobby long to make mincemeat out of the Obama administration’s " no new settlements" position. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is bragging about Israel’s latest victory over the US government as Israel continues to build illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

In May President Obama read the Israelis the riot act, telling the Israeli government that he was serious about ending the Israeli conflict with the Palestinians and that a lasting peace agreement required the Israeli government to abandon all construction of new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

On November 10 Obama’s White House chief of staff, Rahm Israel Emanuel, surrendered for his boss at the annual conference of the United Jewish Communities.

For the first time in history, an American president has officially ordered the assassination of a US citizen.

President Barack Obama has approved the “targeted killing” of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US-born Muslim cleric who is reported to be in hiding in Yemen. No substantial evidence has been brought to bear against Awlaki, 38, who is accused of terrorism, and he will be afforded no legal recourse against the death sentence.

Word of Obama’s decision has been intentionally leaked by multiple intelligence officials to various media sources. Reuters and the Wall Street Journal published news articles on the story on Tuesday, and these were confirmed by stories in the Washington Post and New York Times on Wednesday.

The letter below has been sent to the Letters Editor of the Pretoria News in response to the Article “Al Qaeda link in attack on cop” which appeared as the lead article in the Tuesday late edition.  (21st December 2010)

The letters Editor – Pretoria News

My response to the article is as follows:

It is a well known fact that in journalism, it is the undercurrents and pressures within this profession that determines not only the news but the quality of the news itself.  Journalists seem to be in love with the word Al Qaeda and terrorism linked to it. It is also about the terror of power and the power of terror.

The Media Review Network remains hugely sceptical about the report in the Pretoria News: Al – Qaeda Link in attack on cop”. (Tuesday 21st December 2010). To link the attempted robbery to Al Qaeda is not only disingenuous but sensationalism in the extreme.

The article raises many questions. How did the Provincial Police Management arrive at the conclusion that there was a possible Al Qaeda link without having questioned the suspect that was arrested?  If police knew that they received terrorist training, why were they not apprehended and questioned? Why wait for the “terrorists” to attack a luxury estate before taking action?  What happened to the bag at the back of the bakkie? How did Graeme Hosken conclude who the owner of the bag was when five of the six men escaped? Who did he speak to?
