Canada's shame - Canada Park

 
Canada Park - Canada's shame

Noam Chomsky on U.S. Policy Towards Iran

Excerpts:
"...Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world." (Source: Information Clearing House, http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18772.htm)

Ever expanding Illegal Occupation

Israel expands its illegal settlements with the blessings of the World's hyper-powers. If however, the Palestinian people resist, Israel with its hyper-power allies will stamp them out for their unprovoked terrorist attacks.

Excerpts:

West Bank settlements 'expanding'

Construction is continuing in dozens of Jewish settlements in the West Bank despite Israel's pledge to freeze their expansion, an campaign group has said.

Peace Now says Jewish population growth is three times higher in the area occupied in 1967 than in Israel itself.

It says settlers are bypassing a ban on using caravans to expand settlements by erecting pre-fabricated homes on site.

Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are deemed illegal under international law.

Israel had pledged to stop their construction as part of internationally-backed peace efforts.

Peace Now says there is continuing construction in 88 out of about 150 of the authorised settlements, in addition to the building of permanent structures in 34 unauthorised settlement outposts. (Source BBC News, November 7, 2007)
