“Last year, ... the U.N. Committee on Disarmament and International Security adopted a resolution that called for stronger measures to prevent the militarization of space, and another that reaffirmed the 1925 Geneva Protocol against the use of poisonous gases and bacteriological warfare. Both resolution passed unanimously, with two abstentions: the United States and Israel. In practice, U.S. abstentions amounts to a veto.”

About Noam Chomsky:
“Judged in terms of the power, range, novelty, and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive.”
-- THE NEW YORK TIMES
“For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in... there is on simple answer: read Noam Chomsky.”
--THE NEW STATESMAN. “12 Great Thinkers of Our Time.”
“Chomsky's 9-11 was practically the only counter-narrative out there at a time when questions tended to be drowned out by a chorus, led by the entire United States Congress, of “God Bless America.” ... It is possible that, if the U.S. goes the way of nineteenth-century Great Britain, Chomsky's interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now.
--THE NEW YOURKER
“Reading Chomsky is like standing in a wind tunnel. With relentless logic, he bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us—and to discern what they are leaving out. ... Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening.”
--BUSINESS WEEK
“For nearly thirty years now, Noam Chomsky has parsed the main proposition of American power—what they do is agression, what we do upholds freedom—with encyclopedic attention to detail and an unflagging sense of outrage.”
--THE UTNE READER
“Chomsky ... is a major scholarly resource. Not to have read [him] is to court genuine ignorance.

Barack Obama and Benhamin Netanyahu Have to Be REPUDIATED and stopped
The Democratic Party has always been the Party of War in hyper-capitalist USA. A few days ago, the Israeli Zionist newspaper Haaretz confirmed that the USA and their favorite mercenary forces in Israel will launch a new war against Iran, a country that has not attacked our nation. George W. Bush did the same thing against Iraq. For the capitalists that rule our nation, war is always very profitable. Obama and Hillary will not have to send their daughters to fight. Working-class people, as usual, will do the fighting and the dying, while the U.S. capitalists amass huge war profits.

Haaretz: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for War Material to Bomb Iran
Netanyahu asked Panetta to approve sale of bunker-busting bombs, U.S. official says
Top administration source says Obama instructed Defense Secretary to work with [Israel's] Defense Minister Barak, to give all due consideration to the request for purchasing GBU-28 bombs, advanced refueling aircraft.

WASHINGTON - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the United States approve the sale of advanced refueling aircraft as well as GBU-28 bunker-piercing bombs to Israel during a recent meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a top U.S. official said on Tuesday.
The American official said that U.S. President Barack Obama instructed Panetta to work directly with Defense Minister Ehud Barak on the matter, indicating that the U.S. administration was inclined to look favorably upon the request as soon as possible.
During the administration of former U.S. President George Bush, the U.S. refused to sell bunker-penetrating bombs and refueling aircrafts to Israel, as a result of American estimates that Israel would then use them to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
Following Obama's entrance into the White House, however, the United States approves a string of Israeli requests to purchase advance armament.
Diplomatic cables exposed by the WikiLeaks website exposed discussion concerning advanced weapons shipments. In one cable which surveyed defense discussions between Israel and the United states that took place on November 2009 it was written that "both sides then discussed the upcoming delivery of GBU-28 bunker busting bombs to Israel, noting that the transfer should be handled quietly to avoid any allegations that the USG is helping Israel prepare for a strike against Iran."
Another issue raised during Obama's Monday meeting with Netanyahu was the Syrian crisis. Netanyahu pointed out that Israel feared that chemical and biological weapons from Syrian army stockpiles could end up in the hands of Hezbollah or other terror groups.
A top U.S. official indicated that the United States recently discussed the issue with Turkey, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, in an attempt to prepare for the possibility that a collapse of the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad would endanger the country's WMD stockpiles.
At this point the American administration does not possess information that indicates that chemical or biological weapons were passed from Syria to Hezbollah.
Netanyahu and Obama also discussed the ongoing diplomatic crisis between Israel and Turkey. The United States feels that, amid ongoing unrest, that there [is] existent a supreme interest to rehabilitate Jerusalem-Ankara ties. Obama told Netanyahu at the meeting that an effort should be exerted to reconcile between the two states.

Cuba Denounces U.S.A. for Preventing Actions Against Israel
United Nations, Nov 30 (Prensa Latina) Cuba on Wednesday denounced the United States and other western countries for preventing the Security Council from condemning Israel for its illegal actions and crimes against the Palestinian people.
There are sufficient reasons to adopt not only political condemnations, but also binding decisions by the Council to stop Israel crimes and sanction those responsible, the text states.
During a General Assembly session on the Palestine issue, the Cuban delegation noted that the issue "reveals the hypocrisy and double standard of some developed countries that self-proclaim human rights paradigms."
The document also criticized that body´s passivity and inactivity in the face of Israeli actions and wondered why the crimes against the Palestinian people are not sanctioned or why those responsible are not deprived of economic resources to support their actions, or why their movements are not limited.
The Cuban representation noted that the issue of Palestine was first included in the agenda of the Assembly 64 years ago, and still they have not been able to stop Israel crimes against the Palestinian people nor revert the occupation of its territory.
The delegation later reiterated the island´s support to the cause of the Palestinian people, to defend their rights and Palestine´s entry as a full member of the UN.
The island´s delegation also reiterated the statement made in September at the General Assembly by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, who stated that body has the inescapable moral, political and legal obligation to guarantee the recognition of the new Palestine State.

Unholy Alliance
The vote at the United Nations General Assembly, on October 25th of the present year, saw the mighty American Empire receive the condemnation and repudiation of the overwhelming majority of the civilized countries of the world.
Today, during the second decade of the XXI century we are witnessing two immoral and unethical nations join forces in an unprecedented act of arrogance.
We do no not have to accept the valid norms of international law; they seem to be saying contemptuously. We are mighty, and therefore, we can do as we please. Might make right, they proclaim.
But these two nations are totally alone in the world, witness of the 186-2 vote at the U.N. They are the proud and evil successors of Germany's Third Reich.
How come the mighty American Empire dos not condemn the weapons of mass destruction secretly possessed by the genocidal Israeli Zionists? If you kiss the ass of the empire, is it O.K.?
The United States and Israel today are totally evil, and they bring death and destruction to the four corners of the world. Will this evil duo be, one day, responsible for the total destruction of Mother Earth?
That will only happen if we let them continue with their evil designs and course of action.
ARISE, yee all peoples of the world! Bestow on this evil duo the moral condemnation that the U.S. and Israel so richly deserve.
The mighty Roman Empire no longer exists. One day, the mighty U.S. Empire will also pass into oblivion.
