Declaring Israel a 'terrorist state,' Bolivia's president ends free entry for Israeli visitors


Published July 30, 2014
Bolivia's leftist president has declared Israel a "terrorist state" because of its offensive in the Gaza Strip, and his government will now require Israeli citizens to obtain a visa to visit the Andean nation.
President Evo Morales already broke off diplomatic relations with the Jewish state in 2009, calling Israel's treatment of Palestinians "a genocide."
The action announced Wednesday will especially hit young Israelis, who often travel for extended periods, with South America a popular destination.
Other South American countries, including Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Peru, have recalled their ambassadors from Israel in protest over the fighting in Gaza.

"I do not exchange my shirt with ASSASSINS" Cristiano Ronaldo

This is the phrase used by the Portuguese star at a meeting after Friday night’s playoff between Israel and Portugal at the 2014 World Cup.
After the match, an Israeli player removing his shirt offered it to Ronaldo, who refused because he could not agree to wear a jersey on which there was the flag of the State of Israel.
In the locker room when reporters asked him why he had refused to exchange his jersey, he said “I do not exchange my shirt with murderers”  (Google English translation).

A Real Euro-star: Cristiano Ronaldo, who became the world’s most expensive footballer when he joined Real Madrid for £80 million from Manchester United, made his full international debut for Portugal in 2003.
This is not the first time the Portuguese star Ronaldo has shown his solidarity with Palestinians, last year he auctioned off his soccer boot in gold, to help Palestinian victims of Israeli bombing.

UK’s largest trade union resolves to boycott Israel

Britain’s biggest trade union, Unite, has resolved to campaign for the boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel, which it slammed as “guilty of the crime of apartheid”, the Middle East Monitor reports.
In a rare move from a Western public body, Unite also acknowledged the futility of the US-backed “peace” process, which has delivered nothing but more Israeli land grabs and squatter colonies.
According to the Middle East Monitor report, Unite considered two motions related to Palestine-Israel conflict at its annual policy conference in Liverpool this week.
The main “Israel and Palestine” motion condemned Israeli violations of international law such as settlement construction, “crimes of persecution against the Palestinian people”, and the Israeli military’s detention and “torture” of Palestinian children. As well as the situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Unite also highlighted the “racist laws” affecting Palestinian citizens of Israel.
The motion commits Unite to taking “bolder steps like those that were taken against the South African apartheid regime” as part of the fight against “the Israeli ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people”. The union will work with others to develop a “campaigning and leverage strategy around BDS within the next 12 months”, notably “against complicit companies involved in the occupation, the apartheid wall and the illegal settlements (such as Veolia, G4S and Sainsbury’s)”.
In a slap in the face for the advocates of futile talks with Israel, a motion titled “Israeli-Palestinian Cooperation” was turned down.
“The motion expressed support for the stricken US-led peace talks and encouraged engagement with both Israeli and Palestinian trade unions,” the report said.
But the sum total of 21 years of US-led peace talks has been the virtual disappearance of the 22 per cent of Palestine which is supposed to make up the Palestinian part of the “two-state solution” that’s being talked about.
To its credit, Unite had the wisdom and courage to say “enough deception and lies” and defeated the motion.

Germany arrests double agent recruited by U.S. to reveal details of Berlin's NSA inquiry

German authorities have arrested a man identified by media as a German intelligence officer who allegedly passed secrets to the U.S.
German media warned that if the man is found guilty, it would be “the biggest scandal involving a German—American double agent since the war,” The Daily Telegraph reported.
Federal prosecutors said that a 31-year-old German was arrested on July 2 on suspicion of spying for an unidentified foreign power. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, called the case “a serious matter,” declining to elaborate on the prosecutors’ statement.
“The Chancellor was also informed of this case yesterday,” Eibert told reporters in Berlin. More on this spy here.

Palestinian teen burned alive by Israeli settlers and American Cousin Beaten By IDF

Initial autopsy findings from the charred body of a Palestinian teenager from East Jerusalem who was kidnapped and killed by Israeli settlers showed that he was burned alive, according to the Palestinian attorney general.
 
“The direct cause of death was burns as a result of fire and its complications,” Mohammed Al-A’wewy was quoted as saying by the Palestinian official news agency Wafa late on Friday. The rest of this here.
 
The 15-year-old American cousin of a Palestinian teen who was abducted and killed in Jerusalem was beaten and jailed by Israeli police in what relatives say was 'attempted murder'.
Tariq Khdeir, a student at the Universal Academy of Florida, an Islamic school in Tampa, is the cousin of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, who it is claimed was burnt to death by Israeli extremists in a revenge attack on Wednesday.
Tariq's parents, Suha and Salah, told the Associated Press that their son was beaten by police during clashes on Thursday ahead of the funeral and that he was detained.
An Israeli police spokeswoman said that Tariq Abu Khdeir had resisted arrest and attacked police officers. More here.

HOW ZIONISTS VIEW THE SANCTITY OF LIFE

At the Israeli youths’ funeral on Tuesday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contrasted Israelis from those who killed the youths.“They sanctify death, we sanctify life,” Netanyahu said. “They sanctify cruelty, and we mercy and compassion.”
 Since the bodies of three missing Israeli youths were discovered in the occupied West Bank on Monday, Israeli politicians have whipped the public up with
demands for “revenge.” The videos in this post show disturbing footage of significant crowds of young Israelis marching through the streets of Jerusalem on Tuesday evening chanting “Death to the Arabs” – “mavet la’aravim” in Hebrew.
In some of the footage those chanting appear to be young children.
