“Our sources in Gaza report that Israeli soldiers have entered and taken up positions in a number of Palestinian homes, forcing families to stay in a ground floor room while they use the rest of their house as a military base and sniper position,” said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Programme. “This clearly increases the risk to the Palestinian families concerned and means they are effectively being used as human shields.” read full story / add a comment

Readers of Indymedia Ireland have a short time to take advantage of global lapses in copyright infringement to enjoy the movie "Religulous" on the Chinese video sharing website "megavideo".
That site will of course be forced to remove the vid within the next fortnight, but ye've time for now.

& not pay a penny, sheckel, talent or centimo of a Euro, Dollar or reconstituted Reichsmark for it.

Religulous is a 2008 American comedy/documentary film written by and starring political comedian Bill Maher and directed by Larry Charles. According to Maher, the title of the film is a portmanteau derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous"; the documentary examines and satirizes organized religion and religious belief. read full story / add a comment

31 December 2008

The murderous bombardment of the Gaza strip continues into a fifth day, with a threat by an Israeli cabinet minister of “long weeks of action.” The death toll of Palestinians stands at over 370 killed, many were members of the Hamas security forces but many civilians are amongst the dead.

In a brilliant piece of detective work and logic reasoning, writer Muhammad Rafeeq has exposed what Madoff is really at by pleading guilty to the $50 billion so called fraud.

Rafeeq worked for many years in large investment firms and knows how the system works. On reading that banks like HSBC and Santander and others have lost billions, he says there is absolute no way that these banks would commit money to a single institute like Madoff without an extensive history of accounts going back at least 3 years and investigation and analysis of the investment model, assets and other data. There are teams of specialists in these banks to do this all the time.

Rafeeq suggests that Madoff fund simply went bust in which case the investors would not be entitled to get any money back. But by claiming it is a fraud and Madoff has pleaded guilty, and the state accepts it, it means all the so called defrauded investors are entitled to be fully compensated under the US government's financial fraud protection scheme. read full story / add a comment
