Child arrested for throwing stones in East Jerusalem

Katie Cannon writes:While the third picture below shows the young man who was arrested in the background, it's difficult to tell if he was engaged in thorwing stones from the instant that was captured. The young child on the scooter to his right does not make the read any easier. Guilty or not, it would be terribly hard to see a child in one's family be taken away by authorities.

Gaza aid convoy heads for final stop

"We really appreciate your effort to keep this momentum and to follow up your work," Abdullah said.

Laden with relief supplies, Asia to Gaza Solidarity Caravan of Asia 1 has left the Syrian capital of Damascus for the port city of Latakia in the northwest of the country.

The convoy, which currently has activists from 15 different nationalities onboard, began its journey from the Indian capital, New Delhi and traveled through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Lebanon.

The activists say they want to display solidarity with the Palestinian people in their resistance against Israel.

Tel Aviv has been enforcing an all-out land, aerial and naval blockade on the 1.5 million Palestinians in the enclave since mid-June 2007.

The mission has been welcomed by Khaled Meshaal, the political leader of the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas, as well as Ramadan Abdullah, the leader of the Palestinian group of Islamic Jihad. "We really appreciate your effort to keep this momentum and to follow up your work," Abdullah said.

A seven-member delegation of Iranian lawmakers joined the mission while it was in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

The convoy plans to enter Gaza later in December, which marks the anniversary of the launch of the three-week-long Israeli war on the enclave. The onslaught killed more than 1,400 Palestinians.

There are fears that the mission might be fiercely confronted by Israel's military, which killed nine Turkish activists aboard Freedom Flotilla, an Ankara-backed humanitarian convoy, on May 31.

In this regard, an Indian activist on the mission told Press TV, “We are completely non-violent. We do not have weapons.”

In case of an attack, “We will face it with non-violence. We'll face it with a prayer in our hearts,” he added.

Israeli forces assaulted a group of Spanish tourists on Thursday afternoon as they tried to enter the southern West Bank city of Beit Lahm (‘Bethlehem’) through its northern entrance to participate in the Christmas festivities. Local sources said that the forces manning the roadblock at the northern entrance of the city near Rahil’s dome assaulted the group with truncheons injuring a number of them. The group was surprised at the treatment meted to them and said that they had a taste of what it was like for Palestinians crossing roadblocks.

Ecuador recognizes state of Palestine

Ecuador recognizes state of Palestine

2010/12/25

Ecuador has become the fifth South American country to formally recognize an independent Palestinian state. President Rafael Correa on Friday signed "the Ecuadoran government's official recognition of Palestine as a free and independent state with 1967 borders," Ecuador's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, according to AFP. The statement said Ecuador's decision to recognize a Palestinian state "vindicates the valid and legitimate desire of the Palestinian people for a free and independent state" and will be a contributing factor to a peaceful coexistence in the Middle East. The border mention refers to the boundaries that existed before 'Israel' captured East of al-Quds ('East Jerusalem'), the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Six-Day War. Earlier this month, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay recognized Palestine as an independent state. Their move drew harsh condemnation from Israel and was opposed by the US House of Representatives as well. The House on December 15 unanimously approved a resolution opposing unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state. The resolution urged the White House to "deny recognition to any unilaterally declared Palestinian state and veto any resolution by the United Nations Security Council to establish or recognize a Palestinian state outside of an agreement negotiated by the two parties.”

Zimbabwe's Mugabe: Why not indict Bush and Blair?

TRIPOLI | Tue Nov 30, 2010 1:31pm EST

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe Tuesday asked why the International Criminal Court (ICC) is not indicting Tony Blair and George W. Bush for war crimes instead of prosecuting Sudan's leader.

Mugabe, speaking at a joint summit of the European Union and African states, said the ICC was applying a double standard by indicting Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of war crimes and genocide.

Sudan's government has said it was boycotting the EU-Africa summit in protest at EU pressure for Bashir to stay away.

"Why does this court not do the same with Tony Blair and George W. Bush, both of whom occupied Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people?" Mugabe said in a speech to the summit in Libya's capital.

As U.S. president, George W. Bush called Mugabe's rule "tyrannical," while Blair, the former British prime minister, accused Mugabe of human rights abuses and running down what was once one of Africa's most prosperous economies.

Mugabe, in power since independence in 1980, denies those accusations and says the West, and especially Zimbabwe's former colonial ruler Britain, is trying to sabotage his country.

"Bashir is not with us now. Why? Because some European countries said if he comes, they will not attend the summit," Mugabe said in his speech.

"They are wrong because they shouldn't take this decision before we know if he is guilty or innocent ... Only a court in his own country can decide if he is guilty or not."
