A meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Hamas political Leader Khaled Mashal in Damascus has irked Israeli officials. Senior officials in the Foreign Ministry were furious on Sunday over the news that Lavrov had held talks with Mashaal, saying that he felt maintaining contact with Hamas was ‘needed’. Israeli Foreign Ministry officials were mulling over a possible response to Russia’s move which came ahead of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s visit to Moscow scheduled for next week, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported. The daily added that Tel Aviv might file an official complaint against Lavrov’s meeting. The Russian foreign minister, however, defended his move saying that Moscow believes it needs to keep its contact with Hamas. The meeting was held when Lavrov was on a brief visit to Syria to attend a session held by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). (Reference for text: Press TV. Photo: via mosnewes.com)

The ICC: An instrument of imperialism
by Zafar Bangash

"Church groups, Zionists and a number of Western governments are interfering in Sudan. Since all people in Darfur are Muslim, the anti-Muslim card cannot be used as was so effectively done in Southern Sudan. Here, an ethnic twist is utilized: the Darfurians are presented as "Africans" while the central government in Khartoum is run by "Arabs". Why Arabs cannot be Africans is not explained but the propagandists can count on the ignorance of their own people, especially in North America. Africa is a continent and being African is not an ethnic label: if white South Africans are considered Africans because they reside in an African country, on what logic are northern "Arab" Sudanese excluded from being African?"

Imperialist countries have created a vast array of instruments to force the rest of the world to follow their diktats. To such high sounding bodies as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank that respectively manipulate others politically and financially, must now be added the International Criminal Court (ICC). Established in 2002, the ICC based in the Hague has an annual budget of $125 million. This number is considered grossly inadequate to deal with serious issues of war crimes committed by a long list of people strutting about the globe as world leaders and statesmen, but the West finds special utility in the new body.
