GAZA, March 7 (Xinhuanet) -- The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on Tuesday that Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz's targeted killing threat to Palestinian prime minister-designate Ismail Haneya was terrorism.
"Mofaz statements represent a clear and formal terrorism," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told reporters in Gaza. Comment: Israel calls it "targeted killing". We call it murder. It is terrorism, but you'll never hear the mainsream media calling it that. No, the "terrorists" are all Muslim, never Jews or Christians. State terrorism is twisted into being somehow legitimate.
Double-speak from the pathocrats. The double standard, one measure for those we promote, another for those we kill. |

Arab News 7 March 2006 RIYADH - French President Jacques Chirac wrapped up his three-day visit to Saudi Arabia yesterday by calling on Hamas leaders to soften their stance and reject violence. Chirac also categorically rejected sanctions against the Palestinian political group that swept elections in January.
Chirac told a news conference that he was in favor of giving time to any eventual Hamas-led government to perform and deliver. Chirac called the elections "democratic," but also called on Hamas to "recognize Israel and respect the will of the international community." |

3/7/2006 8:32 PM GENEVA - A U.N. human rights expert said Tuesday the number of Cuban dissidents arrested and sentenced to long terms increased in 2005, claiming "extreme tension" with the United States had played a role in hampering freedom of expression on the island.
Christine Chanet, a French jurist who is the U.N. Human Rights Commission's expert on Cuba, said in a new report that tightened U.S. sanctions have made life more difficult for Cubans in general and political opponents to President Fidel Castro in particular. "United States laws and the funding provided for building democracy in Cuba make members of the political opposition on the island appear to be sympathetic to foreign influences and provide the Cuban authorities with an opportunity to tighten repression against them," she said. |
