Israel tells it like it is: Olmert tells Europe to stop preaching to Israel

Il primo ministro israeliano Ehud Olmert si è giustamente rotto le balle di sentire le prediche dell’Europa su quello che israele deve fare. Israele è uno stato sovrano, che non deve chiedere il permesso a nessuno quando si tratta di difendere la propria esistenza. Olmert dice agli europei: chi vi dà il diritto di darci lezioni?

Charles at LGF has a long but must-read post with photos of Reuters’ doctored photos from Lebanon. The photos are doctored by Reuters’ arab photographs to deliberately make Israel look bad. One of the many examples of dishonesty from the news wire services, which would do well to apologize and adopt an accountable way of reporting news.

Su Internet si sta mostrando l’evidenza di come certe agenzie di stamp occidentali presenti in Libano stiano falsificando notizie e foto, con l’aiuto degli Hezbollah e con il fine ultimo di mettere in cattiva luce Israele. Little Green Footballs analizza, con l’aiuto di tanti altri blog e siti, come le foto dei bombardamenti israeliani contro obbiettivi Hezbollah, vengano manipolate per far sembrare che vi sia un’attacco indiscriminato contro palazzi dove abita gente comune. Il fotografo in questione di chiama Adnan Hajj, ovviamente è un arabo con simpatie per i terroristi, perchè mai e poi mai Reuters, AFP o l’Associated Press si permetterebbero di assumere un ebreo per riportare i fatti. Altrimenti, non ci sarebbe la propaganda che i media complici dei terroristi vorrebbero. Queste foto, mostrate ed analizzate a fondo da vari siti e blog i quali le hanno prese da Yahoo News (che, a sua volta, le ha prese da AFP, Reuters ed AP) , evidenziano come i ‘fotografi’ in questione abbiano usato il programma Photoshop per ritoccare le foto.  Ad esempio, ecco una foto della quale si vede benissimo come il fotografo abbia usato Photoshop per aggiungere più fumo del solito (se prendete una foto di un normale incendio, potete provare con Photoshop e vedrete che vi esce lo stesso effetto) . Leggete anche: Abdul Qader, il ‘socorritore’ Hezbollah

UPDATE! Reuters admits the photo was doctored! Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out ‘blatant evidence of manipulation.’ Reuters’ head of PR says in response, ‘Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.’ Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged

I blogger hanno ragione, Reuters ammette!! . Reuters ha perciò non solo sospeso il fotografo arabo,ma anche rimosso la foto taroccata. Il fotografo sospeso per aver taroccato la foto è lo stesso fotografo che ci ha mostrato le foto di Qana, anch’esse sospette e sotto indagine da parte dei bloggers che hanno indagato anche su questa foto

Doctored photo, by Adnan Hajj, using Photoshop to clone the plumes of smoke:

La foto taroccata usando Photoshop

The photo above has been removed by Reuters, which has posted the original one (below), who obviously shows how the bombing is not as inhumane as the doctored photo would have us to believe. 

La foto originale, ora postata da Reuters. Gli arabi hanno fatto un’ennesima figuraccia, dimostrando di essere bugiardi per natura (non tutti, ovviamente, non fraintendetemi), pur di dare addosso al “nemico sionista”. Oltretutto, ricordiamo, per chi non lo sapesse, che l’Islam prescrive che in guerra il mussulmano deve mentire:

We the bloggers politely call on the news wire services to adopt a more responsible and accountable way of reporting and photopraphing news.  We demand they take into account that not everyone in this world is lucky enough to verify these photos through the Internet and for that they are continuously taken for a ride by the news wires services. Congratulations to EU Referendum and LGF for their great work in exposing this story.

Il mio articolo su Ragion Politica: Dopo Castro?

According to sources, the Cuban authorities told Brazil’s president Lula that Castro has a cancer and it is in its final phase (that is, the tyrant is dying) .

DESPACHOS DE LA HABANA INFORMAN QUE “ESTA BIEN MAL” . SE LE HABRIA COMUNICADO AL PRESIDENTE BRASILEÑO LULA DA SILVA QUE FIDEL CASTRO TIENE UN CANCER TERMINAL. AUTORIDADES CUBANAS SE LO HABRIAN COMUNICADO A LULA

In Cuba, people observe the army reservists patroling the streets of the country as in a state of war. ”We don’t want war,” said Raúl, who didn’t want to give his last name. “We want to be able to work and provide for our families.” one resident said everyone was feeling the tension.  Reinier, a 20-year-old who served two years in the military and didn’t want to give his last name, said he didn’t think a change would improve the situation. “Raúl is crazy. He’s crazier than Fidel.” Many Cubans are not buying the regime propaganda about an U.S. invasion. Many simply don’t believe in this claim. Source: The Miami Herald 

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Message to the People of Cuba

Reporting from Cuba, the Miami Herald says there are lots of satellite dishes hidden in many Cubans’ houses: Cubans are using satellite TV dishes, which are outlawed by the government, to watch foreign newscasts about Fidel Castro’s health . And on the newscasts, we get the other points of views.” A 38-year-old man named Raúl said he pays $10 a month for an illegal TV hookup and keeps the cable hidden under the dirt in front of his house. ”They’ll take away your TV and your appliances if they catch you watching” Univisión, he said. His brother Miguel, 27, says the punishment may be worse now that Castro’s health is in doubt. ”And now, since this happened, they’ll probably put you in prison,” Miguel said. The people interviewed of course declined to give their last names.

Hizballah’s terror rockets kill 12 Israeli civilians

I missili dei nazisti Hezbollah uccidono 12 civili israeliani

Iranian official admits Tehran supplied missiles to Hezbollah. Sorry, but I find that banal. Yes, because it’s well-known that the Nazi Islamic Republic has, since 1979, been directly arming and funding terrorist groups. And, don’t forget, it’s the Islamic Republic regime that has created Hizballah. The IR practices terror abroad and at home and recently has killed jailed maverick freedom fighter Akbar Mohammadi. The Iranian people are: pro-US, pro-Israel and anti-regime. To defeat the threat posed by the IR regime, all the West needs to do is to DIRECTLY fund those genuine opposition groups fighting to peacefully overthrown the regime and replace it with a secular and democratic one. I wonder what is the world waiting for..

Mission for Establishment of Human Rights in Iran: Petition: Help Free Prisoners of Conscience in Iran

Cubans in the island: “We also wish to celebrate” . Via The Miami Herald . Many wish to celebrate, but of course they cannot yet. The army reservists have been mobilized and along with the police are everywhere here, here , here and here.This is because the regime is not as sure about the people ‘revolutionary zeal’ as they claim. Otherwise, why does the regime fear a popular uprising and to prevent it increases the number of police in the streets? 

Los cubanos en la isla dicen que quisieran celebrar pero no pueden (claro que no pueden, la dictadura ha sembrado el terror en el pueblo): Jorge, que estaciona automóviles en la Habana Vieja y quiere irse para Estados Unidos, dijo que ha estado despierto hasta tarde en estas dos últimas noches viendo por CNN en Español las multitudes de exiliados celebrando en Miami. ”Nada ha cambiado”, dijo con voz de cansancio, “pero las celebraciones me parecieron buenas”.”Aquí no están celebrando… ¡pero quisieran hacerlo!”, agregaron Fernando y Miguel, dos trabajadores de un restaurante cercano que tampoco quisieron dar sus apellidos . Para leer mas, hagan click aquí . Porqué la dictadura anticubana siente la necesidad de aumentar el numero de policias y hasta colocar el ejercito en las ciudades si estan tan seguros del ‘caracter revolucionario del pueblo’ ? La verdad es que, como demuestran los policias y militares visibles en cada rincon de las calles cubanas, el régimen siente que el pueblo podría lanzarse a las calles y hacer su revolucion democratica, como tratò de hacerlo cuando se lanzò a las calles de La Haban, en 1994 durante el Maleconazo. Porqué el pueblo de Cuba, en su mayoría y sobre todo los jovenes que siempre son el motor de las revoluciones democraticas, detesta el sistema totalitario que desgobierna la mas bella de las Antillas.

Letter from Senator Mel Martínez to The Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, The Pentagon, Washington, DC

Los cubanos en la isla conjeturan en voz baja . Muchos piensan que el tirano se murió, pero que la noticia va a ser divulgada solo unos meses después. En general, al pueblo cubano de a pie, enfrascado en su diaria búsqueda del sustento, parece esperar en silencio y no hacer pronósticos en público para evitar consecuencias adversas.”No me interesa y aquí no se puede hablar de eso”, explicó en voz baja la vendedora de un almacén. “Todo lo que yo ganó al mes son $27. Eso es lo único que a mí me preocupa”.Uno de ellos explicó que ”el cangrejo está acabando con…” y en lugar del apellido del gobernante utilizan la consabida mímica de las barbas largas.

The U.N. reveals its true face and shows why we’re right in considering it a dangerous organization: “Hizballah not a terrorist organization”, says U.N. official

Ancora una volta l’Onu mostra il suo vero volto di organizzazione filo-terrorista. Il suo vice dice che gli Hezbollah non sono terroristi..

Qana death toll drops. I never heard of a genocide where the death toll, instead of increasing, drops. Very strange, isn’t it?

Scende il numero delle vittime di Qana. 28 invece che 53. Solitamente, quando ci sono stragi e genocidi, il numero delle vittime è sempre destinato ad aumentare. Qui, invece, le vittime si dimezzano. Strano, no?

Hizbollah hits Israel with 182 rockets intended to kill as many civilians as possible

I nazisti assassini Hezbollah oggi hanno lanciato ben 182 missili su Israele. Missili che sono caduti su Israele per tanti anni, nonostante Israele non abbia mai mosso guerra a nessuno dei suoi vicini. E questi missili, ovviamente, vengono lanciati con lo scopo di uccidere quanti più civili possibile. Perchè, ricordiamolo, per gli assassini islamici gli ebrei sono tutti obbiettivo militare, che siano donne incinta o bambini piccoli.

Note: my next post will be about all the other issues of the world, but will keep you updated anyway

Statement by Miscelaneas de Cuba here (Spanish)

Comunicado de Asociación Misceláneas de Cuba.

Statement by the Cuban-American National Foundation

Comunicado de la Fundación Nacional Cubano Americana

Cubans in the island are waiting to know more. While it’s true many lost the fear to speak out, others are still afraid. Above all, now they fear another brutal wave of repression. In the hearts of many Cubans in Cuba, there’s strong hope for the death of their oppressor. Visit Babalù Blog to know more.

I’ve just talked to some Cuban friends inside Cuba. They’re telling me they’re very happy, but they’re cautious as well. Many people are afraid of reprisals. Furthermore, they are telling that it’s time for the exile to start act in a concrete way, instead of issuing statements “well knowing that, from where they are, that will lead to no consequences for, while we are facing the repression on a daily basis, because we’re putting our lives at risk ” . What they mean, is that for too long the exile has kept quiet over the continuous repression of those in Cuba and now they come out with statements inviting the people to take to the streets, etc. Well, it’s time for the exile to lend a REAL hand of help, not only by nice words.

My message to the Cuban friends, both in Cuba and outside: keep the calm, don’t let emotions commit errors. The regime is very nervous and it might – and almost surely it’ll – wage a new, more brutal wave of repression in the island. The opposition in Cuba (more than 300 among political parties, movements, independent libraries, etc.) is going to face growing repression as well as the people of Cuba in general.Keep the champagne bottle in your refrigerator. Celebrate (and I’ll as well), but then be realist and work in a responsible and careful way to help your countrymen regain sovereignty and freedom.

Al pueblo de Cuba cansado de dictadura y a los hermanos que dentro de la isla luchan constantemente y pacificamente: no dejar que las emociones los hagan cometir errores. Estén listos para enfrentar al régimen porqué en estos momentos la cupula corrupta del gobierno es muy nerviosa. Pero, es la hora de comenzar a romper las cadenas. Es la hora de rescatar a la patria y a devolver la democracia. Demandamos que el mundo despierte y que acabe de hablar y tome accion para ayudar (materialmente, no solo con palabras) a los que en Cuba ahora van a ser aun màs reprimidos
