Reuters: "Israeli soldiers killed three militants and wounded several other Palestinians in clashes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the army and Palestinian medics said."
GlobalResearch: "Israeli activists have uploaded a video of the shooting of Lymor and the initial violence of the Israeli military in Bil'in on Friday, August 11th. To view it click here (mac-users save link to desktop).
The video clearly shows the Border Police unit firing on the demonstrators from close range. There is no evidence that the soldiers were in danger."
UNSecurityCouncil: "Mr Gambari said the peace process of the last 15 years had not brought an end to Israel's occupation. The lives of the Palestinian people had deteriorated steadily and Israel had continued its unlawful campaign of settler colonialism. Moreover, it had now nearly completed the construction of the wall on confiscated land. The Palestinian civilian population also continued to suffer from Israel's ongoing military aggression, as that military campaign over the past months had involved the excessive use of force, extrajudicial killings, destruction of vital infrastructure, detention and imprisonment of hundreds of Palestinian civilians, and the collective punishment of the entire population."
In Israel the calls for an 'Endlösung' are growing, which would mean the eradication of Hezbollah, which in fact would be genocide and it would not succeed. Some see it as World War III. God forbid!

Craig Murray: The book 'Murder in Samarkand' was confiscated by Luton airport security. So books are now part of the 'terrorist' paraphernalia?
HeraldToday: "The U.S. government's high-profile terror case against Jose Padilla and two other Muslims has suffered another serious setback as their Miami trial looms in January.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke threw out the first count in the indictment - that the threesome conspired to murder, kidnap and maim persons in a foreign country - saying it repeated the main alleged 'conspiracy to advance violent jihad' in two other charges.
'The danger raised by a multiplicitous indictment is present in the instant indictment,' she wrote, stressing that it violates the 'double jeopardy' clause of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution - the prosecution or punishment of a defendant twice for the same offense.
The indictment was originally filed in 2004, but Padilla, a former Broward resident, wasn't added until last November because the U.S. military had been holding him as an 'enemy combatant' on allegations of being a 'dirty bomber' bent on setting off a radioactive device on U.S. soil. That allegation is not part of the Miami indictment."
AlterNet: "Bush gets rude with a reporter (again)."
IndiaDaily: "Airlines stocks traded in a strange pattern. For a few days it showed technical weakness then slowly moved down. Then came the news and the airlines indices collapsed. The money was ready on the sideline to jump in and buy the stocks."
Bush finally admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. And he denies that anyone ever suggested that.
LATimes: "The Marine Corps said Tuesday that it would begin calling Marines back to active-duty service on an involuntary basis to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan - the latest sign that the American force is under strain and a signal that the military is having trouble persuading young veterans to return."
