Stop Arming Israel

http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2009/03/30/stop-arming-israel/

U.S.-made weapons have been used to commit war crimes by the Israelis in 1982, 2006, and, most recently in Gaza in January. In 1982, the United States did suspend the sale of cluster weapons to Israel when it was determined that they had been used against Lebanese and Palestinian civilians in violation of the conditions of sale. In 2006 and 2009, the United States not only looked the other way when cluster and white phosphorus weapons were used, it also empowered the Israelis by permitting the fighting to continue and providing political cover for the crimes that were being committed. After the fact, Washington intervened at the UN to stop any condemnation of Israeli crimes, and it has refused to consider any reports by investigative bodies that have attempted to document the Israeli actions. Most recently, the U.S. has described a UN report on atrocities committed in Gaza "biased."

Greek Jews 'shocked' after Holocaust denier is acquitted by Athens Appeals court

People who claim Elvis is still alive are not arrested. People who claim to have had sex with a space alien on a UFO are not thrown in jail. People who claim to have filmed Bigfoot don't have their lives ruined even after they admit the film was faked.

Only in this one area of inquiry is the full weight of the legal system brought to bear on those who ask a simple question.

Truth needs no laws to support it. Truth does not fear re-examination. Truth does not hide from questioning. Throughout history, only lies and liars have resorted to the courts to enforce adherence to dogma.

Luke Rudowski Arrested for Attempting to Question Mayor Bloomberg

http://snardfarker.ning.com/profiles/blogs/luke-rudowski-arrested-for

According to a post on the WeAreChange blog Rudowski and other members of WeAreChange were confronted and asked questions by hotel security and Bloomberg’s security detail. Rudowski was apparently singled out and forcibly detained at the hotel and subsequently handed over to the New York Police, who arrested him on a charge of trespassing. Rudowski was also charged with impersonating a member of the press. Infowars is a bona fide press organization.
