August Demolition Report

Cody O'Rourke The six families from al Qabboun, part of the Ka’abneh clan, were forcibly displaced by Israeli forces after almost daily attacks by local settlers. Demolition Data View web version Over the last month, as settler violence has continued to mount against Palestinians and our communities, the Israeli state has maintained the violent processes of demolition and destruction. Since January, Israeli state forces have demolished 520 Palestinian-owned structures in the West Bank and East Jerusalem alone, affecting more than 24,000 people. Most of these structures were residential (121) or agricultural (222), meaning that the destruction of these buildings directly encouraged Palestinian displacement through the devastation of a home or through ...

Russia’s 1994-96 Campaign for Chechnya: A Failure in Shaping the Battlespace

By Major Norman L. Cooling Reading Time: 53 min content from Marine Corps Gazette " …the Russians could take the city back. It would take them half a year and they would have to destroy the town all over again. They could even take it in a month, but it would cost ten to fifteen thousand men." — Shamil Basayev, Chechen guerilla leader Near the end of 1994, the Yeltsin Administration, frustrated with the inability to supress the independence movement in Chechnya through covert political efforts, committed military forces to restore the Russian Federation’s authority throughout the region. The Russians originally envisioned this action to be little more than a simple demonstration in the capital city of Grozny, rapidly culminating with the capitulation of the “reb...

Chechnya At War

By Amos Chapple Twenty years ago, the first war between the Russian Federation and its independence-minded republic of Chechnya ended. The nearly two-year conflict was some of the worst violence Europe had seen since World War II and serves today as a bitter example of the horrors of modern warfare. 1A Chechen fighter perches atop a statue of Lenin. In the aftermath of the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, Chechnya declared its independence from Russia. 3Russian troops mass near Grozny. Fears that Chechnya's independence could lead to a "domino effect" and fragmentation of the newly formed Russian Federation led Moscow to try to retake Chechnya by force. A ground assault begins on December 11, 1994. 4A Chechen volunteer takes cover behind a Russian tank...

US condemns killing of Palestinian as ‘Israeli’ terrorism

People attend the funeral of 19-year-old Qusai Jamal Maatan, who was killed by Nazi JEWISH settlers The United States has condemned as terrorism the killing of a Palestinian by suspected Jewish Nazi settlers, in sharpened language that appeared to reflect US frustration with surging violence in the Nazi occupied West Bank under Nazi's JEWISH hard-right government. Nazi police detained two settlers in Friday's incident near Burqa village. According to Palestinians, they were part of a group that threw rocks, torched cars and, when confronted by villagers, shot a 19-year-old dead and wounded several others. Initial findings by Israel's military cast the incident as a confrontation that escalated, with casualties on both sides. A defence lawyer said the Nazi JEWISH settlers -...

Empty Chair Diplomacy 2.0 at the United Nations

BY DANIEL WARNER Photograph Source: in transition – CC BY 2.0 The game of musical chairs is popular with children. If the child’s game is based on successfully sitting on a chair when the music stops, recent diplomacy at the U.N. has been focused on empty chairs. Empty chair diplomacy goes back to French President Charles de Gaulle when the French boycotted European institutions in July 1965. The French leader’s boycott showed he favored European integration rather than increased power to European institutions. It reflected de Gaulle’s disdain for supranational organizations. Empty chair diplomacy re-appeared at the recent annual meeting of the United Nations. Four out of five leaders of the permanent member states of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) decided, albeit f...

“I Am Not Now, Nor Have I Ever Been”: Musings on Communism and Anti-Communism

BY JONAH RASKIN Jonah Raskin reading under the images of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh, circa 1970. If you grew up in the 1950s, as I did in a lefty American family, the name Joseph McCarthy elicited as much loathing as that of John Wilkes Booth and Benito Mussolini. The zeitgeist of the late 1940s and early 1950s—fueled by the Cold War—were, as troubadour Peter Seeger sang, while he strummed the banjo, “a terrible time,” though it was also, he added, “a wonderful time.” A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens’s novel of the French Revolution, begins on a similar note: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” I remember the best and the worst: the resilience and the fear. The era left its mark on me and many of my contemporaries who also grew up in lef...

Is the Media Really Liberal?

BY NICK LICATA Photograph Source: woodleywonderworks – CC BY 2.0 Conservative commentators and politicians attack the reliability of the “media” since they believe the liberals control it. They often point to television and some social media like Facebook. Except for the New York Times and Washington Post, they have avoided attacking other printed media and radio. While the liberals do not dismiss all media as being too conservative, they argue that big corporations’ concentration of media ownership limits the breadth of opinion and promotes conservative views, such as promoting a smaller federal government. Liberals don’t campaign for big government. Still, they support government intervention in regulating the marketplace and social behavior. The first is for mainta...
