Afghan MP tells Ottawa Council to Stop Arms Shows
Malalai Joya is an elected Afghan Member of Parliament. However, in May 2007 she was barred from Parliament for three years because she had denounced the many foreign-backed warlords and drug barons who dominate her government. While the Afghan Parliament passed a law giving immunity to all Afghan’s who have committed war crimes over the previous 25 years, it also passed a law saying that Afghan MPs could not criticise each other. So it is permissible to have MPs in Afghanistan’s parliament who are war criminals, but it is not permissible to have MPs in that Parliament who dare to risk death threats for merely criticising the presence of those war criminals. This is the democracy that Canada helped to install and is now protecting. Canada helped the US to replace Taliban warlords with other warlords from the “Northern Alliance” who killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Kabul alone during the 1990s.

[Canada & Afghanistan] Harper’s hypocrisy: Two years of silence on Malalai Joya from Conservatives
[Themes:
“Canada’s participation in this war in Afghanistan has been justified with rhetoric about women’s rights, yet Harper and the Conservatives remained silent when Malalai Joya was ousted from her elected position and again did nothing meaningful when Karzai signed the anti-women provision which sanctioned rape in marriage,” said Parvin Ashrafi, a women’s rights activist with the Iranian Centre for Peace, Freedom and Social Justice and a member of Friends of Malalai Joya—Canada.

August 6: The Lies Of Hiroshima Are The Lies Of Today (John Pilger)
[Themes:
August 6, 2008 It is the 63rd anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The US Dept. of Energy estimates the 5 year death toll from the bomb at Hiroshima alone to be over 200,000, the vast majority of whom were civilians. In the piece below, John Pilger readily debunks the myth that the bombing of Hiroshima was either needed or intended to end the war in the Pacific. This anniversary has a particular significance, coming as it does at a moment when Israel is intensifying its belligerent posturing towards Iran, culminating perhaps in Benny Morris’ recent threat / prediction in the New York Times of a nuclear attack. Pilger reminds us that we have seen this all before: the intensive disinformation campaign (in this case, a positive will to forget the International Atomic Energy Agency and US intelligence agencies’ reports that Iran does not pose a nuclear threat), and the campaign of racist vilification. – This introduction is from Judith Norman of www.jewishpeacenews.net

Dear Mom, Dad, your Zionist friends, and Bob Dylan too, I’ve got news for you all: The times they are a changin’! Remember last Passover ?

Burma, Victim of the "War on Terror" - John Pilger
Pilger continues to be one of those rare journalists with words that resonate for international activists and humanists. In this article, he recalls the moral courage of Dennis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, assistant secretary-generals of the UN, who actively denounced, loud and clear, the sanctions against Iraq as a crime against humanity.

[Afghan MP Joya] Canada should change its policy on Afghanistan
[Themes:
After 9/11, unfortunately the United States and its allies like Canada pushed us from the frying pan into the fire, by putting in power the Northern Alliance criminals and warlords. As long as they follow this wrong policy, the situation in Afghanistan will become more disastrous. www.rabble.ca/in_her_own_words.shtml?x=68242[ create a profile (account) to comment ] | ||||||||
