| The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy |
 |
In the recent study "The Israel Lobby and U.S.
Foreign Policy", the authors of the paper,
Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard University and
John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago,
charge that the United States has willingly set
aside its own security and that of many of its
allies in order to advance the interests of
Israel. In addition the study accuses the
pro-Israeli lobby, particularly AIPAC of
manipulating the U.S. media, policing academia and
silencing critics of Israel by labeling them as
anti-Semitic.
A new article in the New York Review of Books
examines the controversial report and the reaction
to it. It's called "The Storm Over the Israel
Lobby." It was written by media critic Michael
Massing, who joins Amy Goodman for the interview.
Michael is a contributing editor of the Columbia
Journalism Review and frequently writes for the
New York Review of Books.

| KILL EVERYBODY: American soldier exposes US policy in Iraq |

"KILL EVERYBODY" - US ARMY SPECIALIST DARRELL
ANDERSON EXPOSES US POLICY "I joined in '03,"
'cause I was broke, I needed money, but I was a
young American kid, I wanted to fight in a war. I
joined up. [A] month out of training I arrived in
Baghdad, Iraq, January '04. Saddam's been
captured. And I get there and the guys I'm
serving with have been there for six months
already; they were there in '03. And I go, "Well,
you know what, I think it's come out that, you
know, these people had nothing to do with 9/11,
there was no Iraqi on those planes. We can see
around here there's no Al Qaida, there's no
terrorist syndicates in Baghdad, or Iraq. Saddam
had stamped 'em out."
And I asked my buddies, "Well, you know, we're
here to find 'weapons of mass destruction'." And
they laughed at me. And I said, "Well, you know,
we're here to 'help the people.'" And they laughed
at me. And I said, "What's our mission? What's
our goal?"...They're like, "All we're trying to do
is make it home alive..."
Anderson describes the escalation of violence
against unarmed civilians: "In April, they told
us, "In a crowded area, if one person shoots at
you, kill everybody." Anderson explains the
rationale from the officers: "They [members of the
crowd of people] are letting them [the person or
persons firing at the U.S. military] attack you.
They're no longer innocent if they're there at the
time of the crime..." (9/11 conference, Chandler

Some relevant background:
In trying to suppress the Yugoslavian
resistance, Nazi Gen. Keitel, supreme commander of
the armed forces, issued this order in Sept.
1941:
"In order to nip disorders in the bud the
sternest measures must be applied at the first
sign of insurrection. It should also be taken into
consideration that in the countries in question a
human life is often valueless. In a reprisal for
the life of a German soldier, the general rule
should be capital punishment for 50-100
Communists. The manner of execution must have a
frightening effect."
Perhaps the American generals, the neo-cons, and
the new world order planners who direct them are
copying the Nazi playbook. More likely, though,
they are progressing along parallel lines because
they've committed the same egregious war crimes;
they can only compound their crimes until they
"kill everybody" who resists them. The
Yugoslavian partisans fighting German fascism were
called "communists." Today, U.S. fascism calls
that same resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan
"terrorist." Gen. Keitel was hanged for this and
other war crimes by the Nuremberg Tribunal on
October 16, 1946.

After 7 months in Iraq, Darrell Anderson, 22,
decided that he wasn't to risk going back to Iraq
to kill or be killed. He fled to Canada, a
deserter. While there, though, he felt he wasn't
doing enough to expose and stop the war and
returned to U.S. and, possibly, a long prison
sentence. Perhaps to undermine the legal case of
other deserters in Canada, the U.S. military
imprisoned Anderson only a few days, releasing him
with a 'less than honorable' discharge. Given
Anderson's heroic determination to organize and
help GI and other war resisters, the U.S. military
may come to believe they've made a mistake.

Yor Yevrah updates: PSDplat asks, "wtf does he
[Darrel Anderson] mean, 'expose 911'?" Good
question. Anderson, gung-ho when he got to Iraq,
quickly learned that Saddam had nothing to do with
Sept. 11. It takes a while longer to come to
grips with the deeper lie that 9/11 was an inside
job. Defenders of the official conspiracy theory
(19 Arab hijackers) enable the inside-job
perpetrators to get away with their crimes and
cover-up and to continue the mother of all hate
crimes, the racist, genocidal, global and ersatz
"war on terror".
One indication that a person's belief system
(cognition) is unsound and unstable (and
manipulated) is his use of ad hominem attacks
(name calling) in a desperate attempt to repress
an impinged perspective. CereaLVII, for example,
indicates he himself is in a high state of
cognitive dissonance (denial). If his belief
system was secure he wouldn't be provoked into
calling Darrell Anderson a "pussy," and so forth.

| An integrated maritime policy |
 |
http://ec.europa.eu/maritimeaffairs/index_en.html
In Europe, the sea is never far away: the coast is
almost 70,000 km long, which equals one and a half
times the circumference of the earth. Half the
population of the European Union lives less than
50 km from the coast. Many sectors of the economy
are active in these coastal zones: port
operations, transport, fisheries, industry, energy
and tourism. As a result, many policies have a
maritime dimension, but most of them are still
managed sector by sector.
