"SWINGIN' UP ON FREEDOM!

"Palestinians in Gaza Resist 'Slow Death' from Israel

"Now it is our turn to stand up!

"We will not light candles and bemoan the victims of Israeli apartheid. Instead, we will celebrate the courage of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Our actions will contribute to building our own 'beloved community' or ummah at Wayne State dedicated to freedom for Palestine!

"Joy has come to Gaza. Recently, the Palestinian people celebrated a victory over Israel's attempts to enforce a 'slow death' on them. They attacked and destroyed the wall between Gaza and Egypt, and hundreds of thousands of Gazans streamed into Egypt to purchase supplies denied them in the two years since Israel began its siege on Gaza. Like the hundreds of sisters who defied Israeli security forces and marched on a mosque in Beit Hanoun to liberate their armed brothers; like the hundreds of people who have gathered on rooftops across Gaza and the West Bank, defying Israel to demolish their homes, Israel's attack on Gaza was not met with quiet acceptance, but determined resistance, as the Palestinians stood up and refused to cave in to Israeli intimidation. Breaking through an international border, the Palestinians refused to submit to the 'slow death' Israel seeks to enforce."

It is unbelievable that anyone would put a courtroom into the hands of such a veteran fighter for the Apartheid state of Israel.

What would happen to Palestinians there?

What would happen to protesters, who dared to protest against Israeli army atrocities?

How do you feel about a fighter for the racist, genocidal state of Israel actually becoming a Judge in Ann Arbor?

What would happen to Palestinians in front of her Court?

What would happen to Palestine human rights activists in front of her Court?


Tell the Ann Arbor City Council how you feel.

"US insists cluster bombs not bad if used right"

GENEVA, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Cluster bombs, which nearly 100 countries are seeking to ban, should not be considered bad as long as states involved in conflicts use them responsibly, a senior United States official said on Wednesday.

The official, who declined to be identified, also told a background briefing that Washington was planning to create a "quick reaction force", or QRF, to handle threats to civilians from remnants of war, like cluster bombs.

The official's remarks, which could not be quoted directly, clearly confirmed that Washington -- like Russia, China and some other powers -- remained opposed to banning the weapon.

He spoke as negotiators on updating a 1981 international agreement on especially dangerous conventional weapons (CCW) met in Geneva to prepare for "expert discussions" on cluster weapons next year under the United Nations umbrella.

Cluster munitions include a variety of weapons that can spread up to hundreds of bomblets over a target area. Up to 30 percent fail to explode, posing a threat to civilians for many years after a conflict.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says some 400 million people in countries and regions like Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Russia's Chechnya live in effective minefields, under daily threat of maiming from cluster bombs.

Other campaigners say at least 13,000 civilians are known to have been killed or injured by the bombs -- used heavily most recently by Israel in its 2006 war against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon -- in recent years...

The human rights organizations in Israel and the Gaza Strip were angered by data presented Sunday by Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin during Sunday's cabinet meeting, according to which Israel had killed 1,000 terrorists in the past two years.

The B'Tselem organization expressed its surprise over Diskin's remarks, saying that according to its figures, 816 Palestinians were killed by the IDF in that same period, including 150 minors, 48 of them under the age of 14...
