When will we see Tanks in Barcelona streets?

by Esther Vivas

“Independent Catalonia? Over my dead body and those of many other soldiers”. It was with these words that on August 31, retired infantry lieutenant-colonel Francisco Alaman Castro referred to the possibility of an independent Catalonia. And he added: “We will not make it easy. Although the lion seems to be sleeping, they have no interest in provoking it too much, because it has already given enough proof of its ferocity over the centuries. These plebs are not up to much, if we know how to confront them”. Continue reading “When will we see Tanks in Barcelona streets?”

CNT lawsuit against genocide Franco Argentina

As the CNT pointed out, “the international law on human rights defined as crimes against humanity, and therefore inalienable, a number of crimes, murder, torture, forced disappearance or slavery, among others-that Francoism fulfilled completely “. In this sense, it argues that “the so-called ‘Amnesty Law of 1977, passed with the votes for the PSOE, PCE and PNV parties, was actually ‘final ending’ law which guaranteed impunity for the instigators and executors of serious violations of human rights “.

Terror in Gaza: End the cycle of retaliation

ANONYMOUS BACKS GAZA VICTIMS WITH MASSIVE HACK ATTACK ON ISRAELI WAR STATE see below

”This post on the Gaza horror is 6 years old. It could have been written today. Israel will never change its policy of State terrorism while it is sponsored by the biggest bully on the block :the USA. The fascistic government needs a few Israeli deaths to prop up falling support for its national/religious regime.”admin

Israel must end its provocations and cycles of retaliations if it ever wants to achieve peace.

military-targets3 — Criminal Israeli State provokes yet another one-sided Cycle of Terror

If Israel ever hopes to stop the cycle of brutal violence, it must take negotiations more seriously, writes Bishara [AFP]

Watching the escalation in Israel/Palestine and the preparations for a possible all-out assault on the Gaza Strip, one hears many insightful and original commentary. Alas, when it’s original it’s usually inaccurate, and when it’s right it’s hardly new. Netanyahu, like his predecessors, is using the assassination of Hamas’s leader Ahmad Jabari and subsequent escalation to undermine the Palestinian leadership’s (Hamas and Fatah’s) political standing and improve his own political chances, by underlining Israel’s national security over economic security as the core issue preoccupying the nation, ahead of the elections. To make the point, here’s a piece I published six years ago titled, “Mideast: End the cycle of retaliation“, with minor changes of dates, names etc. As they continue to repeat themselves tirelessly and recycle the same claims, I shall repeat my analysis…( * 0nly changes are in yellow italics)
