Israel gives settlers weapons for September

Bethlehem - PNN - The Israeli military has given West Bank settlers ‘non-lethal’ weapons to use against Palestinian demonstrators this September, according to Haaretz.


ImageA military document, obtained by the newspaper, claims ‘disorder’ will increase due to the Palestinian bid for statehood at the UN. It discusses the possibility of 'marches toward main junctions, Israeli communities, and education centers; efforts at damaging symbols of [Israeli] government’.


The military is also expecting demonstrations on Israel’s international borders, especially with Lebanon.


The document reveals that the Israeli military has been supplying West Bank settlements with non-lethal weapons including tear gas canisters and sonic bombs to use against 'threats' from demonstrators.


In addition, the a system of two ‘red lines’ has been designed to apply around all settlements close to Palestinian villages. Soldiers will be permitted to fire tear gas to disperse demonstrators crossing the first line, but live ammunition at the feet of those crossing the second.


Despite calls from settler groups, the military has not yet issued specific details on when the weapons' use is permitted. Officers are concerned that any instructions could be interpreted as official ‘rules of engagement’ by settlers for use in confrontations with Palestinians.

Sinking the Mavi Marmara

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says the Israeli murder of nine activists aboard the Mavi Marmara was in accordance with international law[GALLO/GETTY]



The release of the findings of the UN panel of inquiry into the May 2010 Israeli attack on the Turkish Mavi Marmara, part of the Freedom Flotilla endeavoring to deliver aid to besieged Gaza, was recently delayed for the fourth time since the originally scheduled release date over three months ago.

Israel initially claimed the delay occurred at the behest of Turkey; Turkey claimed it happened at the behest of Israel. The latter version of events would seem to be validated by a Sunday report on Israel's Channel 2, according to which Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has asked the US to delay the release another six months. According to Haaretz, the UN panel's findings will nonetheless be published this Friday.

Either way, the latest delay follows Netanyahu's unsurprising affirmation that Israel will not apologise for the deaths of eight Turkish activists and one 19-year-old Turkish-American activist shot - most of them execution-style - by Israeli commandos (IDF) who intercepted the ship.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned of a Turkish "Plan B" in the event that an Israeli apology does not indeed materialise.



Inverting cause and effect



From the point of view of the Israeli regime, an apology is not required given that the IDF commandos, and not the slaughtered activists, were the victims of the encounter at sea.



This innovative approach to logic was presented by IDF spokeswoman Avital Liebovitch at a post-attack press briefing, during which she announced that the passengers of the Mavi Marmara had engaged in "severe violence against our soldiers". Liebovitch's alarming summary of premeditated passenger violence involving weapons "grabbed" from commandos did not address the issue of why the IDF had not thus thrown a wrench in the works by simply refraining from raiding the ship.



The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the violent intentions of the seafarers by adding the category, "Weapons found on Mavi Marmara" to its Flickr photostream and uploading images of marbles, kitchen knives, keffiyehs, and a metal pail. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon's detection of ties between the Gaza flotilla and global Jihad was additionally upheld by a Flickr photograph featuring a slingshot colourfully decorated with stars and the label "Hezbollah".



The Foreign Ministry has yet to explain whether Hezbollah always labels its Gaza-bound slingshots in English, or why the photograph is specified as having been taken on February 7, 2006, i.e., over four years prior to the flotilla attack.



As for the Israeli proclivity for inverting cause-and-effect relationships - such that commandos who shoot guns while descending from helicopters onto boats become the victims of the unarmed humanitarian activists onto whom they are descending - an application of this formula to other phenomena in the physical world results in the unexpected discovery that slabs of meat impale themselves on butcher knives and that armadillos attack the wheels of cars.



'Delegitimising' Israel

Quite fortunately for Israel, its acrobatics in defiance of truth are sanctioned by regrettably influential media figures like New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman, who obediently assigned quotation marks to the "flotilla of 'humanitarian' activists" in his analysis of the maritime confrontation.



Along with his decree that "[t]here is no question that this flotilla was a setup", Friedman's reference to the "violent confrontation that the blockade-busters wanted" echoed the assessment by Israeli government spokesman extraordinaire Mark Regev that the flotilla passengers were intent on accruing "headlines for their cause" by "initiat[ing] violence".



Resurrecting his Operation Cast Lead-era philosophy that persons wanting to critique Israel's actions in Gaza should recall that Islamist suicide bombers were also blowing up people in Iraq, Friedman updated the prerequisites for post-flotilla criticism of Israel to include more examples of unsavory behavior by regional Arabs and Muslims, such as that Syria was a suspect in the 2005 assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. He subsequently warned of a "trend, both deliberate and inadvertent, to delegitimise Israel", resulting in a situation in which, "[i]f you just landed from Mars, you might think that Israel is the only country that has killed civilians in war".



Leaving aside the minor detail that Israel was not at war with the Mavi Marmara, hypothetical Martian visitors might also be confused by other formulaic discrepancies such as the complete lack of suicide terrorism in Iraq prior to the US invasion and the fact that Islamist suicide bombers are not the primary recipients of military aid from the global superpower. Some Martians might even be inclined to assign blame for encouraging "violent confrontation" not to humanitarian aid flotillas but rather to foreign affairs columnists for the US newspaper of record who champion the mass killing of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon and advocate for civil war in Iraq.



As for the project to delegitimise Israel, I was able to witness this firsthand last year when I attended the funeral ceremony at Istanbul's Beyazit mosque for Cevdet Kiliclar, one of Friedman's "'humanitarian' activists".



For non-Martians trained in the strategic proliferation of quotation marks, the scene might have been described as consisting of thousands of "mourners", including "women", "children", and "students", who had gathered to celebrate the "killing" of their "compatriot" and the opportunities it provided to sell headbands declaring "Hepimiz Filistinliyiz - We are all Palestinian".



From Colombia to Gaza

Other popular Turkish slogans from this time period emerged from Erdogan's post-massacre assessment that Israel had committed "inhumane state terrorism".



Accurate as this depiction may be, it would have carried more ethical weight had, say, the Turkish military not proceeded with its acquisition of Israeli-manufactured Heron drones to aid in domestic "counterterrorism efforts" against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).



As for state terrorism on other continents, the appointment last year of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe to the post of vice-chairman of the four-person UN panel of inquiry into the Mavi Marmara incident was curious, given the intimate association of his name with the military and paramilitary practice of killing civilians. To his credit, however, Uribe has never argued that Colombian soldiers who - in potentially thousands of instances - murdered civilians and dressed the corpses in guerrilla attire in order to receive bonus pay and extra vacation time, were in fact the victims of said corpses.



Despite the repeated delay of the release of the UN panel's findings - referred to as the "Palmer report" in honour of its chairman, former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer - Haaretz journalist Barak Ravid cites "a political source in Jerusalem" as revealing that:



"According to the final draft of the probe, Israel is not asked to apologise to Turkey, but the report does recommend it expresses regret over the casualties. The Palmer Report also doesn't ask Israel to pay compensation, but proposes Israel transfer money to a specially-created humanitarian fund."



The source also reports the panel's conclusion that "the Israeli naval blockade on Gaza is legal and is in accordance with international law", in which case the UN panel would be contradicting the UN on the issue of the legality of the Gaza siege.



As for the "Plan B" that Erdogan has threatened to pursue if Israel fails to issue an apology, compensate fatalities, and cease blockading Gaza, the Turkish newspaper HaberTurk lists the components of this plan, which are said to include a visit to Gaza next month by Erdogan, a suit against the Israeli government and relevant soldiers, and a reduction in defense cooperation and economic ties.



Turkey will additionally refrain from reinstalling an ambassador in Tel Aviv, a post that has been vacant since the Mavi Marmara incident, and will refuse to accept a replacement Israeli ambassador to Turkey when the current one terminates his stint in September.



Diplomatic antagonisms

The position of the Turkish ambassador to Israel is one that has been traditionally characterised by ups and downs, both figurative and literal. At a January 2010 meeting in Jerusalem, for example, then-ambassador Oguz Celikkol was deliberately seated at a lower altitude than his Israeli interlocutors, who were displeased with the portrayal of Mossad in the popular Turkish television series Kurtlar Vadisi or Valley of the Wolves.



The Israeli government eventually apologised for the treatment of Celikkol, setting the dangerous precedent that is perhaps to thank for Erdogan's current conviction that Israel can indeed be made to apologise for things.



Given that the Mavi Marmara attack was made the focus of the plot of the 2011 film "Valley of the Wolves: Palestine", based on the TV series, it is possible that any renewed Turkish ambassadorial presence in Israel will be greeted with seating arrangements even more proximate to the floor.



For more information on other sorts of diplomatic posts, one may meanwhile refer to a website devoted to cultivating "Novice Ambassadors" for Israel. Established by the Israeli Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, the site purports to "make it possible for each one of us to arm ourselves with information and pride in Israel's global contributions and history and to present a more realistic image of Israel to the world".



Rather than focus on realistic Israeli global historical contributions such as the elimination of approximately 1,400 persons, primarily civilians, in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, prospective ambassadors are instead called upon to dispel such alleged myths as that camels are the primary mode of transport in Israel and that cooking methods are primitive.



An arsenal of rotating factoids is provided on the right side of the screen for use in countering "barbs of criticism" leveled against the Jewish state. Bits of trivia include that "An Israeli invention for an electric hair removal device makes women happy all over the world" and that "Each month Israelis consume close to 15m bags of [the snack food] Bamba; every fourth snack sold in Israel is Bamba, and 1,000 bags of Bamba are manufactured every month".



As for the utility of Bamba snacks and global-female-happiness-inducing razor components in obscuring the significance of human principles and human suffering, this may only be further reinforced by a gradual sinking of the Mavi Marmara beneath an eternal debate over whether Israel is sorry for killing civilians or whether it merely regrets that they caused their own deaths.

Libyan war 'not over' as Gadhafi's son killed in battle, rebels say

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Tripoli residents rang in the end of Ramadan with celebratory gunfire and fresh signs of economic life early Tuesday, though even rebel claims of the death of one of Moammar Gadhaf's most notorious sons were tempered by continuous fighting and challenges around Libya.


Hours earlier, Mahdi al-Harati -- the vice chairman of the rebel's Military Council, the military wing of the National Transitional Council -- told CNN that Khamis Ghadafi died after a battle with rebel forces Sunday night in northwest Libya, between the villages of Tarunah and Bani Walid.

Khamis, who headed the 32nd brigade charged with protecting the Gadhafi family, was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries, the rebel commander said. He was then buried in the area by rebel forces, according to al-Harati.

Rebel officials have previously made claims, which later proved untrue, that children of Moammar Gadhafi had been killed or captured. Still, if verified, it would mark a significant step forward for the opposition movement, given Khamis' reportedly key role in his father's military and, according to human rights groups and U.S. Vice Adm. William Gortney of the Joint Staff, in attacking unarmed civilians.

Muneer Masoud Own, for instance, told CNN on Sunday that, among other attacks, forces led by Khamis killed scores of captive civilians as they tried to retreat from Tripoli. CNN could not independently verify the claim, though Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International both documented the alleged incident.

Khamis' mother -- and Moammar's wife -- Safia, meanwhile, is in Algeria. So, too, are the leader's daughter Aisha, two of his sons, Hannibal and Mohamed, and their children, who escaped to Algeria. The nation's U.N. ambassador, Mourad Benmehidi, said they were taken in on "humanitarian grounds."

Mahmoud al-Shammam, spokesman for the National Transitional Council, told CNN that if and when the NTC confirms the development, it will lodge a protest with the Algerian government and demand the Gadhafi kin be forced back to Libya.

They had escaped from Tripoli, where some shops have begun to reopen, traffic has picked up, and humanitarian aid has started trickling in. Plus, France reopened its embassy on Monday, and Britain said its personnel are preparing to do the same.

Yet life was still far from normal, with no running water in the city and food in short supply, and there was frenzied fighting elsewhere in the North African nation.

In fact, the chiefs of staff from countries involved militarily in the conflict -- Greece, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Jordan, Spain, Turkey and Norway -- who met in Qatar on Monday underscored that the "war in Libya is not over."

"There is still a need for the continuation of joint work in order to achieve the Libyan people's goals to get rid of the remnants of the Gadhafi regime," Qatar's news agency reported, citing the foreign military leaders.

One example of the challenges faced by rebels was evident in the southwestern Libyan city of Sabha, a traditional Gadhafi stronghold that has a military base and a thriving agricultural industry..

That's where "freedom fighters" were running out of ammunition and were being outgunned by Moammar Gadhafi "mercenaries," according to Abdel Karim Sabhwee, a rebel spokesman.

Sabhwee said on television that pro-Gadhafi brigades were joined by reinforcements from other towns, from which they had fled. He said talks for a peaceful resolution have stalled and three rebels were killed in fighting on Sunday.

Another flashpoint was in Gadhafi's birthplace of Sirte, east of Tripoli, where rebel fighters gave the leader's loyalists a deadline to disarm or face "liberation," said National Transition Council military spokesman Ahmed Bani.

The ultimatum follows days of fighting and reports of negotiations between rebels and loyalists to surrender the city.

Meanwhile, evidence began to emerge Sunday about the alleged atrocity committed by Khamis Gadhafi's brigade, which happened near a main road from Tripoli to the city's airport, which the rebels secured Friday after days of heavy fighting.

On August 22, Gadhafi forces hurled grenades and sprayed bullets into a building full of men they had promised to release, claimed survivor Muneer Masoud Own.

Rebels advancing on Tripoli discovered the bodies, many of which CNN video showed were charred beyond recognition, in a warehouse next to the military base. In addition, a resident who lives nearby said at least 22 bodies were found in a ditch near the base, but it was not clear whether those remains were connected to the killings at the warehouse.

CNN cannot independently verify the claims.

Own, 33, said that by the time of the attack, there were about 175 captives ranging in age from 17 to 70 in the warehouse. The guards told them they'd be released by sunset but, just before, the guards began shooting, according to Own.

Bashir Own, who is not related to Muneer Masoud Own but was also at the warehouse, estimated there were about 150 bodies.

Fred Abrahams, a special adviser at Human Rights Watch, said his group found the remains of at least 45 bodies in a warehouse, but he told CNN it is possible there were more deaths. The group found a survivor who said 153 detainees were at the site and 20 escaped from the attack.

Diana Eltahawy, an Amnesty International researcher, told CNN on Monday said there had been 150 to 160 at the location. She said about 50 bodies were found at the site, and it's not clear whether the rest escaped or were slain and then moved.

Except for calls into a loyalist television station from Moammar Gadhafi, he and his relatives have largely been unseen since rebels took over most of Tripoli last week.

But another of the leader's sons, businessman Saadi Gadhafi, has offered to negotiate an end to the war with the rebels, who he claimed cannot "build a new country without having us (at) the table." He has made previous offers, though this time he appeared ready to cut loose his father and his brother Saif al-Islam, once assumed to be the senior Gadhafi's heir.

"If (the rebels) agree to cooperate to save the country together (without my father and Saif) then it will be easy and fast. I promise!" Saadi Gadhafi said in an e-mail to CNN's Nic Robertson.

Meanwhile, debate continued to swirl Monday about Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the man convicted of blowing up a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.

A number of leading U.S. senators have been highly critical of Scotland's decision to release al Megrahi from prison in 2009 on the grounds that he had cancer and was not likely to live more than three months, and there has been talk of seeking his extradition.

Al Megrahi is currently under the care of his family in his palatial Tripoli villa, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip.

Frank Duggan, president of the Victims of Pan Am 103 support group, blasted the report that al Megrahi was near death, saying he didn't believe it or that the convicted felon meritted any reprieve.

"His family is trying to make a sympathetic character out of an unrepentant, murderous monster," Duggan wrote CNN by e-mail on Monday.

The Scottish government Monday took aim at critics of its decision to release him and send him back to Scotland.

"Speculation about al Megrahi in recent days has been unhelpful, unnecessary and indeed ill-informed," said the Scottish government and the local council that monitors him since his release. "As has always been said, al Megrahi is dying of a terminal disease."

Libya's National Transitional Council told CNN Monday that the decision on what to do with al Megrahi will be left to the still-to-be elected government of Libya.

"This will be left to the Libyan people to decide in the future. The (council) is an interim body and it cannot decide major issues," Mahmoud Jibril, president of the executive bureau of the National Transitional Council, told CNN.

"Our main priority now is stability and order in the country and Tripoli," he added.

WikiLeaks cables detail Apple's battle with counterfeits in China

(CNN) -- Apple was slow to act against the booming counterfeit industry in China and other Asian countries, according to cables obtained by WikiLeaks.


The technology giant eventually organized a team in March 2008 to curtail the explosion of knockoff iPods and iPhones, according to an electronic memo from the Beijing embassy dated September 2008.

Yet, three years after Apple moved to crack down on widespread counterfeiting and put pressure on China, progress has been slow. Gadget piracy isn't a high priority for the Chinese government, the U.S. reports and experts say.

Members of Apple's recently formed global security team were recruited from Pfizer after they executed a series of crackdowns on counterfeit Viagra production in Asia, the report says.

John Theriault, formerly Pfizer's security chief and, before that, a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, leads Apple's global security unit. Don Shruhan, who worked for Theriault at Pfizer, is now a director on Apple's security team in Hong Kong.

Shruhan told the Beijing embassy official that his group at Pfizer spent five years planning raids on counterfeit drug rings, the cable says. He said he's "afraid" of the volume of imitation Apple products being produced in China and about the inexperience of Apple's lawyers in dealing with Chinese authorities, the report says.

An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. A Pfizer spokeswoman, who declined to comment on personnel matters, said the company has a strong global security team to handle the increase in counterfeit medicine worldwide.

WikiLeaks, a group that publishes private government documents, posted tens of thousands of previously unreleased U.S. diplomatic cables last week. The reports from the Beijing embassy detailing Apple's piracy crackdown were unclassified, but many were described as "sensitive" and "not for Internet distribution."

In December, Apple said it removed an application from its mobile store that let people browse WikiLeaks documents from their iPhones "because it violated developer guidelines." The company suggested that the app broke laws or could be harmful to people, but many free-speech advocates cried censorship, as they have in the past when Apple has pulled apps.

The fresh WikiLeaks documents shed new light on Apple's struggles with intellectual-property theft in China, but the subject hasn't completely flown under the radar.

Last month, international news media were rapt after discovering that China is home not only to fake Apple gadgets but also to imitation Apple stores, which had many of Apple's signatures. The Chinese government ordered two of the five unofficial stores to close because they had not secured proper business permits, but a spokesman for China's Kunming government defended the others, saying they sell authentic Apple merchandise, according to Reuters.

Apple owns and operates four stores in China. The three in Beijing and the one in Shanghai are Apple's highest trafficked and top grossing stores in the world, Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's financial chief, said in an earnings call in January.

But the hunger for Apple products is insatiable there. That's why stores have begun to sell the products without Apple's permission, while others are hawking cheaper, lower-quality gadgets that are aesthetically similar and bear the chic Apple logo.

China's Guangdong province, the country's most populous region, has become a hub for manufacturing and selling counterfeit Apple products, two of the newly surfaced cables say. The Foxconn Technology Group, which assembles products for Apple, operates factories in Guangdong.

Workers typically smuggle parts from the facilities in order to make replicas, said Lilach Nachum, an international business professor for Baruch College in New York who travels frequently to Asia. It's the cost of doing business in China, where many American companies go for inexpensive labor and efficient industrial plants, she said.

"Not to go to China is not really an option," Nachum said. "Companies cannot afford to do that. No one can afford to do that."

China's counterfeiting ring is responsible for supplying India with fake Apple products, the 2008 cable says. In raids, Indian officials uncovered shipments that had moved from China through Hong Kong, the report says.

Apple's early plans to go after counterfeiters, according to a cable, involved first targeting offending retailers and street vendors; next, Apple would work with police to raid manufacturing facilities; and finally, the company would pursue online resellers. The plans closely resemble Pfizer's successful strategy, the cable says, citing Shruhan, the Apple director.

"Shruhan said that low-profile retail raids are a good option for Apple, a company that wants to stay away from too much publicity surrounding this issue," the cable says. Theriault, Shruhan's boss, briefed Steve Jobs, then CEO, on the plans in 2008, the cable says.

But Apple is having limited success. In countless stores and at tables setup on streets, merchants purporting to sell iPods, iPhones and iPads at deeply discounted prices are prevalent, said Wini Chen, a student in San Francisco who recently returned from studying abroad in Beijing.

"They'll say, 'Yeah, we have iPad. We'll give you a really good deal,'" Chen recalled from her shopping trips. "If I really want to buy a knockoff Apple product, I could probably do that in 15 minutes."

Chinese officials readily cooperated with pharmaceutical companies on their raids, but that hasn't translated to software, as Microsoft has discovered, or electronics, as Apple is learning, said Nachum, the professor. Whereas a defective pill could cause sickness or death, a shoddy iPod has less dire consequences.

Apple had planned to strengthen its case with the government by arguing that defective batteries could blow up and injure people, and that lost tax revenue could have a significant economic impact, the cable says.

The arguments weren't very effective. China's government declined to investigate a facility in March 2009 that was manufacturing imitation Apple laptops because it threatened local jobs, says a cable dated April 2009. A different arm of China's government scrapped plans for a raid on an electronics mall in the Guangdong province because it could have driven away shoppers, the cable says.
