This adventure by the zionist neocons cost the American tax payers nearly $1 trillion (£643bn) and millions of affected families in the Islamic East.

Documented civilian deaths from violence according to Iraq Body Count is so far 104,106 – 113,755. Full analysis of the WikiLeaks’ Iraq War Logs may add 15,000. Add to this hundreds and thousands of undocumented murders.

The army leaves behind about 200 soldiers and marines for security of the Largest Spy Den in the world aka the US Embassy in Iraq. Not widely mentioned are the so-called “Private Military Companies” otherwise known as mercenaries – Black water, now renamed Xe Services. These companies get the honour to continue the dirty work of “suicide” bombings, create sectarian strife and just random killings.

The Martyr

The brutality of Israel’s occupation went as far as to deny Mustafa Tamimi’s father a permit to leave the West Bank to go be with his injured son. Ola Tamimi, Mustafa’s sister, witnessed him fall to his knees after being struck by the tear-gas canister, the blood pouring out of his wounds; in video’s posted by those present activists are heard begging: “Can You help?”,“Can you stop it?” “A man has been shot in the head!” – yet the Israeli soldiers were seen smirking, one even having the audacity to ask “So?”, believing this to be nothing more than a joking matter, as blood continued to drench the ground and stain the Palestinian flag placed near his head.

Mustafa Tamimi

Israel’s barbarism did not end with the killing on Mustafa, far from it; as more than 2,000 joined the funeral procession, his body draped in a Palestinian flag seemingly floating above the crowd, tear-gas filled the path of mourners.

Holly Rigby, a British volunteer working on the Right to Education campaign at Birzeit University and a witness there that day, writes: “I heard a loud crack and all around me the silver tear gas canisters that had killed Mustafa were being shot directly at where I was standing with other activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), and we ran up the road through clouds of billowing tear gas smoke, desperately trying to avoid the path of these silver bullet-like objects.”

The above Video was released after the attack on Mustafa Tamimi’s funeral procession displays the savagery of Israel; women being dragged by their feet, tackled into a headlock by an Israeli soldier, men being kicked and carried away towards armored vehicles. The “only democratic state” in the Middle East, as the baseless adage goes, beat and arrested mourners, those who wept defiantly in the face of Israel’s occupation after the martyrdom of the first activist of the fearless village of Nebi Saleh.

Israel attempts to mask the cycle of slaughter of Palestinian under the false flag of “democracy”, with impeccable skill and precision the apartheid entity destroys innocent life yet every civilian death is a tragic “accident”, a “mistake”; criminals yet to be punished. Israel kills willingly, knowingly and indiscriminately; woman, man and child.

Mustafa Tamimi was the latest victim of Israel’s barbarism but for every martyr who falls in Palestine there will be one million to take their place; In Palestine there is only one way forward and that is resistance – resistance until victory.

Note: As reported on the Al Manar News site

As reported on RTV: A NATO air strike on an army checkpoint in northwest Pakistan has killed up to 25 soldiers, according to the country’s military officials. Islamabad has now blocked the alliance’s vital supply lines into Afghanistan in response. The incident threatens to put more pressure on relations between Pakistan and the military alliance, already strained by continued U.S. drone attacks. Ahmed Quraishi, President of Pakistan’s biggest lobbying group – the PakNationalists forum, thinks this accident was a deliberate act of punishment.

As reported in Russia TV:

The West is doing its best to destabilize the situation in Syria, author and journalist Webster Tarpley told RT. According to him, civilians have to deal with death squads and blind terrorism, which is typical of the CIA.

­“What average Syrians of all ethnic groups say about this is that they are being shot at by snipers. People complained that there are terrorist snipers who are shooting at civilians, blind terrorism simply for the purpose of destabilizing the country. I would not call this civil war – it is a very misleading term. What you are dealing with here are death squads, you are dealing with terror commandos; this is a typical CIA method. In this case it’s a joint production of CIA, MI6, Mossad, it’s got money coming from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and Qatar,” he explained.

He added that Syrian society is the most tolerant society in the Middle East, the one place where all kinds of people live together in remarkable harmony, Muslims and Christians of all kinds.

“This is a model of a peaceful coexistence of various ethnic groups. The US policy right now is to smash the Middle East according to ethnic lines,” he added.

Assad’s rule is increasingly being called illegitimate. But the US and Europe do not seem concerned that getting rid of the Syrian president could cause even more violence, as was seen in Egypt, believes Tarpley.

“Iraq had abstained from the vote, and said it will not take part in implementing the sanctions, while Lebanon disassociated itself from the decision,” Al-Thani said.

Meanwhile, Damascus censured the Arab League decision, describing it as “a betrayal of Arab solidarity.”

As this is the first time the Arab League approves economic sanctions on a member state, the Qatari Foreign Minister responded to journalists’ questions on the reason for not taking similar steps against Yemen and Bahrain, explaining that it is better to start by dealing with the Syrian situation than not making any move.

On the Bahraini level, Al-Thani indicated that barely three or four people were killed in Bahrain and that no action should be taken against the regime because the king has dealt positively with the protests and has started with reforms.

Regarding the weak Arab League stance against Israel’s violence in Gaza, Al-Thani assured that the Arab stance in support of Gaza has not been an honorable one, pointing out that the Arab League has the power to take action against the “violence in Syria” as Syria is a member state, but does not have the power to take similar action against Israel.

Responding to a question on Syrian Foreign Minister, Walid Al-Moallem’s accusation to the Arab League that it seeks to force international interference in Syria, Al-Thani stated: “What we have done was to avoid a foreign solution.”

“If we do not act seriously, I could not guarantee that there will not be foreign interference… we only care that the Syrian government understands that there is an Arab stance that aims at solving the crisis is a short time,” he added.

Bahrain, Qatar ask Citizens to Leave Syria

The Syrian security forces clashed Sunday with an armed group killing 12 gunmen including the most wanted and seized their weapons in Al-Qsseir, Syrian news agency SANA reported.

The agency further said that the Syrian security forces spotted locations for armed groups in Homs, Edleb, and Daraa, arrested a big number of them, and confiscated large amounts of weapons and ammunition.

On the other hand, a mass rally took place in Al-Hasakah Sunday in rejection of the Arab League decisions and foreign interference in the Syrian internal affairs.

The demonstrators expressed commitment to the independent national decision, and screamed against the “conspiracy on Syria” that aims at “helping the arrogant forces to have control in the region and strike Syria’s resisting stance”.

On another level, Bahrain and Qatar reportedly called upon their citizens to leave Syria as soon as possible because of the “instable security situation there”.

Turkey to stop banking with Syria

Turkish sources say Ankara has decided to stop banking interactions with Damascus as part of efforts to put more pressure on the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as reported on Press TV.

It’s thought the U.S. has redeployed its newest aircraft carrier from the Persian Gulf to the Syrian coast. Washington is also urging American citizens to leave Syria immediately. Patrick Henningsen, a political analyst from America’s ‘Infowar.com’ online magazine, says we are seeing initial steps of a repeat of what we saw in Libya.

‘More bloodshed tomorrow’: Arab League tightens noose on Syria

It’s not just Egypt’s fate that’s being decided in Cairo, but Syria’s future as well. Arab League members have, in the past couple of hours, approved unprecedented economic sanctions against Damascus over its crackdown on protesters.Damascus has already condemned the move as a betrayal of Arab solidarity. Dr. Rania Masri from the University of Balamand in Beirut says Arab League was designed by the West to support former colonial countries‘ interests in the Arab world.

Moscow has accused western powers of stirring up tensions in the Arab world by calling for the overthrow of the Syrian regime. Russia says calls from certain states for the Syrian opposition to avoid dialogue with the government, are only provoking further violence.

The western powers are throwing in the Arab league, which is by itself run by a bunch of unrepresented rulers, as some legitimate reason. Across the Arab world, the people know the real face of Arab League – which is of traitors.

University of California Davis Campus student protestors couldn’t be more peaceful than this. The demonstration was held in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement which emerged in the country’s financial district on September 17 against corporate greed and high-level corruption. Campus police pepper sprayed over the protestors from an extremely close range – unprovoked, displaying blatant arrogance.

This is what the protests are about, reminding who holds the real power.

Maybe a quick reminder – a quote from their past leader John f Kennedy in 1962: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

The incident sent shockwaves throughout the nation, causing both the chancellor and the university authorities to engage themselves over the weekend.

Some reports mention that the Police came in to tear down tents and proceeded to arrest students who stood in their way. Once students peacefully demanded the release of the arrested, a police officer unnecessarily pepper sprayed the students to open a path for the rest of the officers.

The calls for University of California, Davis chancellor Linda Katehi’s resignation came after campus police officers attacked student protesters, making 10 arrests among them. Video footage showed the forces spraying the chemical irritant into the students’ faces.

University of California, Davis chancellor says she will not resign, despite student protesters’ outrage at the university security officers’ use of violence against them under her management.

“I really feel confident at this point the university needs me,” ABC News quoted Linda Katehi as saying on Monday.

She also formed a taskforce to conduct a probe into the events surrounding the arrests and issued a deadline for the group to produce a report within 30 days.

Students continued their protests on Saturday with an evening rally on the roughly 31,000-student campus.

The university has suspended two of the campus police officers spotted on video using pepper spray on protesters.

Katehi said she next planned to meet with the demonstrators at their General Assembly on Monday. So far there is only an apology.

“The use of pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this,” Ms Katehi said in a message on the university’s website.

The officer who sprayed the students was UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike

Interview with Mohsen Saleh, professor at Lebanese University

With riots, economic crises and soaring crime rates prevailing in Europe & America, what aspects of Islam can western governments apply to improve socio-economic and political ills of their society?

The Archbishop of Canterbury was attacked savagely in the British media in 2008 for suggesting that the Islamic Hudood (punishment system) could decrease crime rates in Britain.

Many economists have recently suggested that the IMF & World Banking system be replaced by the implementation of the gold & silver currency, absent of interest rates to solidify real worth to money.

David Cameron’s first speech as British PM highlighted the importance of a “big society in which the family plays a pivotal role.” Coalition MP’s including the PM Cameron himself labelled part of British society as “sick” and significant blame was passed to parents who have no control over their children.

With the west being at its most vulnerable position, questions have been raised over their validity to campaign across the world propagating freedom and democratic values. In this edition of the show we ask the following question: What can the West learn from Islam?
