Flotilla attackers to feast in Italy
Press TV – June 15, 2010
Leader of Rome’s Jewish community, Riccardo Pacifici
The leader of the Jewish community in Rome has arranged a recreational trip to Italy for two Israeli forces involved a deadly attack on a Gaza aid convoy.
Riccardo Pacifici, chief of Rome’s Jewish community, invited the Israeli navy troops to Italy during his visit to Israel, where he praised and lionized them as “heroes,” IRNA reported on Monday.
Israeli commandos killed at least 20 human rights activists and injured 50 others during a May 31 onslaught on a six-ship fleet carrying 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid and 700 international activists from 42 countries to the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel also arrested hundreds of the civilians on board the ships of the Freedom Flotilla, which was attempting to break the years-long siege of Gaza.
The campaigners were captured and forcefully taken into Israel from the international waters where they were attacked, but were soon released under international pressure on Tel Aviv not to deepen the crisis.
The attack sparked outrage across the globe and led to a chorus of calls for lifting the siege on the impoverished Gaza Strip.

Ronald Reagan’s Torture
By Robert Parry | Consortium News | September 8, 2009
The 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report, released in August 2009, referenced as “background” to the Bush-era abuses the spy agency’s “intermittent involvement in the interrogation of individuals whose interests are opposed to those of the United States.” The report noted “a resurgence in interest” in teaching those techniques in the early 1980s “to foster foreign liaison relationships.”
The report said, “because of political sensitivities,” the CIA’s top brass in the 1980s “forbade Agency officers from using the word ‘interrogation” and substituted the phrase “human resources exploitation” [HRE] in training programs for allied intelligence agencies.
The euphemism aside, the reality of these interrogation techniques remained brutal, with the CIA Inspector General conducting a 1984 investigation of alleged “misconduct on the part of two Agency officers who were involved in interrogations and the death of one individual,” the report said (although the details were redacted in the version released to the public).
In 1984, the CIA also was hit with a scandal over what became known as an “assassination manual” prepared by agency personnel for the Nicaraguan Contras, a rebel group sponsored by the Reagan administration with the goal of ousting Nicaragua’s leftist Sandinista government.
Despite those two problems, the questionable training programs apparently continued for another two years. The 2004 IG report states that “in 1986, the Agency ended the HRE training program because of allegations of human rights abuses in Latin America.”
While the report’s references to this earlier era of torture are brief – and the abuses are little-remembered features of Ronald Reagan’s glorified presidency – there have been other glimpses into how Reagan unleashed this earlier “dark side” on the peasants, workers and students of Central America. … continue

Zionism is an international criminal conspiracy.

This list of crimes matches those of the US and Europe during its epic age of imperialism; in ruthlessness, arrogance, racism.
Now I know why Israel wanted nuclear weapons, for deterrence from just reprisals if and when their “poor me” cover is blown as it has in this decade and mounting with atrocity upon atrocity
This list of crimes matches those of the US and Europe during its epic age of imperialism; in ruthlessness, arrogance, racism.
Now I know why Israel wanted nuclear weapons, for deterrence from just reprisals if and when their “poor me” cover is blown as it has in this decade and mounting with atrocity upon atrocity, from Rachel Corrie, Gaza’s destruction and continuing siege, to the assassination in Dubai with falsified passports, and the attacks on the rescue supply ships attacked and high jacked on May 31 in international water of Mediterranean sea. And when taken to perspective gives credibility to otherwise hard to believe alleged instigation and carrying out of the 9/11 false flag psyop and their attack on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 during Israels war of aggression in the ‘Six Day War’ that was to be blamed on Egypt with the US under LBJ ordering US warplanes to drop two nuclear bombs on Cairo and the Russian base, that would have resulted in World War 3 and certainly the existence of Jews (Zionist or not) and the Palestinian people too. And that US-Israeli conspiracy gives credence to the Israel being involved deeply in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and later brother Bobby, and framing a Palestinian youth as the assassin.
Truly the Israelis have twisted the Star of David into their brand of a swastika in the mind’s eye of the world as these elements of truth, like pieces of puzzle come together to complete the picture!
