From the TheIntercept : A newsletter circulated after the Islamic State’s November massacre in Paris sheds light on what the group believes yesterday’s [22/3] deadly attacks in Brussels will accomplish, including weakening unity on the continent and exhausting European states economically. An issue of the Islamic State newsletter al Naba, published weeks after the Paris attacks, boasted in one section that “the Paris raid has caused the creation of a state of instability in European countries which will have long-term effects.” It listed these as “the weakening of European cohesion, including demands to repeal the Schengen Agreement … which permits free traveling in Europe without checkpoin

An Israeli soldier was arrested on Thursday after a rights group published clear video images of him shooting a wounded, immobilized Palestinian suspect in the head following a knife attack in the West Bank city of Hebron earlier in the day. The graphic, distressing video was posted online by B’Tselem, an Israeli group that provides cameras to Palestinians to help them document human rights abuses in the West Bank territory that has been under military rule since Israel first occupied it in 1967. As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, the video was recorded just after another soldier was stabbed and moderately wounded at a checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron’s Old City, and two Palestinian suspects were killed, including the one who was shot in the video.

by George Mitralias After four years of apathy, lethargy and inactivity of French society, which coincide with the four years (2012-2016) of the presidency of Francois Hollande, everything suggests now that the ongoing rapid awakening will lead to one of those volcanic eruptions - for many decades now - by the youth and labor movement of France! And we dare to predict that this could happen in the next few weeks, in mid April or May 2016. So, "everything started" when the Hollande-Valls duo and the socialist-liberal government, made the most fatal mistake of an arrogant power: being sure that the French society was addicted to drink the bitter cup of their extreme neoliberal counter-reforms without reacting, they added a drop that made the glass to overflow. And because this fatal drop is fundamentally changing the "Labour Code" aimed at gnawing or even the complete elimination of the most basic labor rights been conquered in the last 100 y

του Γιώργου Μητραλιά Μετά από τέσσερα ολόκληρα χρόνια απάθειας, λήθαργου και αδράνειας της γαλλικής κοινωνίας, που συμπίπτουν με τα τέσσερα χρόνια (2012-2016) της προεδρίας του Φρανσουά Ολάντ, όλα δείχνουν πια ότι η υπό εξέλιξη ραγδαία αφύπνισή της θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει σε μια από εκείνες τις ηφαιστειακές εκρήξεις στις οποίες μας έχει συνηθίσει -εδώ και πάρα πολλές δεκαετίες- το νεολαιίστικο και εργατικό κίνημα της Γαλλίας! Και τολμούμε να προβλέψουμε ότι αυτό μπορεί να συμβεί στις αμέσως επόμενες βδομάδες, μέσα στον Απρίλη ή το Μάη του 2016… «Όλα άρχισαν» λοιπόν όταν το δίδυμο Ολάντ-Βαλς και η σοσιαλφιλελεύθερη κυβέρνησή του, έκαναν το μοιραίο λάθος των αλαζονικών εξουσιών όλων των εποχών: Βέβαιοι ότι έχουν πια εθίσει τη γαλλική κοινωνία να πίνει το πικρό ποτήρι των ακραίων νεοφιλελεύθερων αντιμεταρρυθμίσεών τους χωρίς να αντιδρά, πρόσθεσαν τώρα τη σταγόνα που έκανε ξαφνικά αυτό το ποτήρι να ξεχειλίσει. Και επειδή αυτή η μοιραία σταγόνα είναι η εκ βάθρων α

War Crimes Around midday on March 15, fighter jets from a Saudi-led coalition bombed a market in Mastaba, in Yemen’s northern province of Hajjah. The latest count indicates that about 120 people were killed, including more than 20 children, and 80 were wounded in the strikes — perhaps the deadliest attack yet in a war that has killed more than 6,000 civilians. Local residents and health officials say the carnage was so great in Mastaba that most of the bodies could hardly be identified, and several were beyond recognition. The Saudi coalition consists of nine Arab states that have joined forces against Houthi rebels who have taken over large parts of Yemen. While U.S. fighter jets are not involved in the bombing campaign, the U.S. is providing intelligence and other forms of assistance, including weapons sales and aerial refueling of the Arab jets. After the latest attack, a top United Nations official, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, the high commissioner for human ri
