Israel Declares Itself Apartheid State vs FSP's

alt comparative discussion ref: Various free state projects ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ECOTERRA International <MailHub(a)ecoterra.net> Date: Sat, Jul 21, 2018 at 3:50 PM Subject: [NATURAL_DEFENCE] Israel Declares Itself Apartheid State To: MAILHUB <mailhub(a)ecoterra.net> Israel Declares Itself Apartheid State By Moon of Alabama - July 19, 2018 Israel declared itself to be an apartheid state: The Knesset passed early Thursday a controversial bill that officially defines Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people and asserts that "the realization of the right to national self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people," with 62 lawmakers voting in favor of the legislation and 55 opposing it. ... The nation-state law also includes clauses stating that a "united Jerusalem" is the capital of Israel and that Hebrew is the country's official language. Another says that "the state sees the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation." The new law has constitutional status: The bill, which has the status of a basic law (approximately the same as a constitutional law in countries with a written constitution), was passed overnight to Thursday with 62 votes in favor and 55 against after hours of fierce argument and debate. It will now come into force as soon as it's published in the Knesset's Official Gazette. ... In a clause that set Arab lawmakers off, the bill explicitly states that "the right to exercises national determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people." The law stipulates segregation: part of the law [is] aimed at promoting the "establishment and consolidation" of Jewish settlements Israel has never defined its borders. It has illegally taken ownership of all public land in the occupied West Bank. This land is then exclusively granted to Zionist settlers: Over five decades in control of the West Bank, Israel has marked out hundreds of thousands of acres as public land, and it has allocated almost half of them for use. But only 400 of those acres — 0.24 percent of the total allocated so far — have been earmarked for the use of Palestinians, according to official data obtained recently by an anti-settlement group after a freedom of information request. Palestinians make up about 88 percent of the West Bank’s population. The group, Peace Now, said the other 99.76 percent of the land went to help Israeli settlements. MAP: DISPLAY bigger The Arab population of Israel and the occupied territories is as big as the Jewish population. The allocation of "public" land stolen from the indigenous Arab population solely to Jewish immigrants was already one of many clearly discriminating apartheid issues. It was in contradiction even to Israeli law. Now the creation of solely Jewish settlements is required by constitutional mandate. The blatantly illegal creation and expansion of solely Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land is now rationalized as requirement of basic law. Muslim and Christian Palestinians now have to pay taxes for their own expropriation. Is there a Buddhist people, a Catholic people? Do they deserve their own nation and land? No. Even the though of such is weird. Are Jews originating from Ethiopia, India, Lithuania, Iran and Poland a common race? Why then is there supposed to be a 'Jewish people' as the new law stipulates? It is historically crazy that a number of humans, living in dozens of mostly east-European countries, would suddenly define themselves as a unique 'race' by virtue of believing in the same religious fairy tales. The concept mirrored and enabled the racism of the fascists. The self declared ethnicity then laid claim on far away land in west-Asia based on old stories of temples for which there is little to no archeologic evidences. Primarily Great Britain, France and the United States, furthered and support this ethnocratic, colonialist, undemocratic, imperialist, and genocidal scheme to their own advantage. It is high time to end this illegal and immoral aberration. -------- READ ALSO: Archbishop of Orthodox Church slams Israel's 'fascist nation state' law Israel's nation-state bill underscores its fascist nature On Resistance: BDS and Israel’s Declining Support Among Diaspora Jews Israel Publishes BDS Blacklist: These Are the 20 Groups Whose Members Will Be Denied Entry By Noa Landau Israel published the full list of organizations whose activists will be barred from entering the country. The so-called BDS blacklist was released by the Strategic Affairs Ministry. Members of the 20 organizations on the list will not be allowed to enter the country due to their support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel. The list primarily includes European and American organizations as well as groups from Latin America, a group from South Africa and an international umbrella organization. For months the Strategic Affairs Ministry had refused to divulge which organizations are on the list. However, a joint team from the Strategic Affairs and Interior ministries had previously determined the parameters that serve as a basis for barring activists from coming into the country. Those who hold senior or important positions in blacklisted organizations will be denied entry, as well as key activists, even if they hold no official position. Mayors and establishment figures who actively and continually promote boycotts will also be prevented from entering, as will activists who arrive to Israel on behalf of or as part of a delegation initiated by one of blacklisted groups. The full list European organizations: ■ France-Palestine Solidarity Association ■ BDS France ■ BDS Italy ■ The European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine ■ Friends of Al-Aqsa ■ Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign ■ The Palestine Committee of Norway ■ Palestine Solidarity Association of Sweden ■ Palestine Solidarity Campaign ■ War on Want ■ BDS Kampagne American organizations: ■ American Friends Service Committee ■ American Muslims for Palestine ■ Code Pink ■ Jewish Voice for Peace ■ National Students for Justice in Palestine ■ US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Other groups: ■ BDS Chile ■ BDS South Africa ■ BDS National Committee --- Israel’s BDS blacklist is straight out of apartheid.

https://theintercept.com/2018/07/18/mueller-indictment-russian-hackers/ "someone reportedly logged into the @Guccifer_2 Twitter account without connecting to a VPN service first, revealing their real IP address." sure. it was 'their' 'real' 'address'! The KGB address! oh and the "russians" can't buy nor mine bitcoins anonymously. The russian govt can't get $50 in bitcoin without trump knowing it. Russians are terribly stupid. Like when they poisoned an 'ex' spy using a poison gas that 'only' russians can manufacture. Oh and the guy who did the poisoning didnt realize that his KGB business card fell off his pocket. So that was another clue for the sherlock holmes.

We must preserve the Cypherpunks Mailing List archives! IMPORTANT!
by Tom Busby 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I've written a blog post about this with further details if anyone is interested: https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/blog/2018/07/05/the-cypherpunks-mailing-list-arc… The primary reason I'm sending this email is to appeal to those of you who have been active on the list since before July 2013 (when the switch to GNU Mailman occurred) and to those of you who know now-inactive subscribers who may also have this information. There is a total black hole in terms of available archived threads from early 1999 to mid 2013. I've contacted the guy who ran the al-qaeda.net node and dug around in the way back machine trying to locate these archives. No luck so far. I'm worried this information will be lost permanently if a concerted effort isn't made to preserve it now, while *some* of it is perhaps still preserved on people's hard drives. I have no doubt that some (maybe most) of the threads from the early 2000s may already be lost permanently. Please get in touch if you think you can help out at all. Tom Busby

After being pulled over, the officer asked to search his car; Montanez refused, so the officer held him until a drug dog was brought in to give the officer enough probable cause to search the vehicle. They found a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, which they used to arrest Montenez, but they asked to search his two cellphones, which he also refused. They were able to secure a warrant for those as well, but Montenez claimed he had forgotten his password. The result: Montanez is being held in contempt of court and is serving a six-month jail sentence. "I don't know the code, sir," he stated. So the judge found him in civil contempt and threw him in jail. http://www.decidethefuture.org/

Well, I agree that this kind of case ought to be pre-empted by the Fifth Amendment. And I say that as a person who has spent many thousands of hours in a (prison) law library. However, law sometimes takes a long time to come to that correct conclusion. There was a SC case in 2000, called Kyllo, which prohibited the use of thermal IR viewing to develop probable cause, for example in marijuana grow cases. Kyllo v. United States The SC came to the correct conclusion, though I disagreed with the reasoning they used. (it depended on their NON-understanding of the science and technology of thermal-IR viewing.) Similarly, in 2012, the SC decided that it was necessary to get a warrant for placing a GPS device on a car, to "following it around". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Jones That, despite the argument that the information collected could, in theory, have been collected merely by placing a cop on every streetcorner, and then taking records. The contrary argument prevailed. I agreed with the contrary argument: In principle, I think that as a society, we don't want to operate on a principle that every new technology should automatically be useable against people. One can imagine a technology someday usable, which takes a continuous movie from, say, a vantage a few hundred miles up (using multiple passing satellites) of any given city. Would police be right if they consulted such a movie for evidence of a moving vehicle? Even more recently, just a month ago, the SC decided a case involving cell-phone metadata, and tracking people by their cell phones. They decided that such were "searches" and thus a warrant was required. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/22/politics/supreme-court-ruling-cell-phone/ind… I also agreed with this decision.

So I just came across https://www.ssh.com/ssh/port on HN. And read: | On July 12, 1995, at 2:32am, I announced a final beta version to | my beta testers at Helsinki University of Technology. At 5:23pm I | announced ssh-1.0.0 packages to my beta testers. At 5:51pm on | July 12, 1995, I sent an announcement about SSH (Secure Shell) to | the cypherpunks(a)toad.com mailing list. I also posted it to a few | newsgroups, mailing lists, and directly to selected people who | had discussed related topics on the Internet. The only list he mentions by name is this one! That's just fucking sad.
