OUR FINE SAUDI MATES

NOVANEWS « JNews is a Jewish-led news service IDF caught on camera abusing Palestinians (but this is not news) » Our fine Saudi mates Published on 18 March 2010 in General. 0 Comments Tags: censorship, internet, Saudi Arabia, United States, YouTube. Print This Post The charming behaviour of a reliable American ally: A Saudi man who was arrested in January on charges of homosexuality, a “general security” offence, and impersonation of a police officer has been sentenced to 1,000 lashes, plus a fine of 5,000 rials (US $1,333) and a year in prison. Authorities say their attention was drawn to his behaviour after a video he made was circulated locally via SMS, and later uploaded to YouTube. In the lighthearted video, the man is in a car, dressed as a Saudi police officer. He is seen dan...

ZIONIST SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY

NOVANEWS There is no better illustration of the depth of the Saudi-Zionist alliance than the Saudi's media disregard of the disturbances in Jerusalem. Just watch Al-Arabiyya TV (the TV station of King Fahd's bother-in-law). As if all is well in the holy land.

IRAN IS FEARFUL OF USA

NOVANEWS « Goldstone threatens the chances of killing civilians, anywhere A heavenly place to consume the printed word » Iran is fearful and may therefore want the bomb Published on 15 March 2010 in General. 0 Comments Tags: Iran, Noam Chomsky, United States. Print This Post Noam Chomsky, speaking last week at Harvard, says that the Islamic Republic has every right to fear American foreign policy and is therefore acting rationally to protect itself: No one in their right mind wants Iran to develop nuclear weapons. If they’re not developing a nuclear deterrent, they are crazy.

MASS MURDER IN SRI LANKA

NOVANEWS A curious and rather disturbing story in Haaretz: It is not easy to scare Simone Dinah Hartmann, but lately she has been fearing for her life. Although she resides in serene Vienna, Hartmann is not convinced the law enforcement officials in Austria are sufficiently aware of the dangers threatening her. Her concerns come in the wake of the racist and anti-Semitic neo-Nazi Web site alpen-donau.info (in German) recently posting her photograph accompanied by derogatory comments – basically marking her as a target for assassination. Hartmann, an energetic and opinionated woman in her thirties, is the driving force behind Stop the Bomb, an international organization which for several years has been waging an aggressive campaign against firms and governments in Europe that maintain com...

Iran, Palestine Affairs

AB-ASS & IRAN

NOVANEWS Written by Rachelle Kliger Palestinian Authority leader says Iran is impeding efforts to reach a deal between Fatah and Hamas. Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud ‘Abbas has blamed Iran for impeding reconciliation between his Fatah faction and its archrival Hamas. “Iran doesn't want Hamas to sign the Cairo reconciliation document,” ‘Abbas said during a visit to Tunisia on Friday. ‘Abbas said Hamas objected to signing an Egyptian-brokered deal with Fatah because of opposition from Tehran, and argued that the Palestinians should be “free from Iranian tutelage.” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast denied the accusations on Saturday, claiming Iran’s position regarding the Palestinian issue involved “unity and solidarity of Palesti...

WOMEN IN IRAN

NOVANEWS "Despite a February 15th United Nations review of its human-rights practices, Iran’s government has not curbed its censorship and repression of women’s rights activists. The morning after the review was held, Nasrin Sotoudeh, a prominent Iranian feminist lawyer, was detained by the Iranian government. Her alleged crime is “to have spoken with foreign media” about human rights violations in Iran. Meanwhile, women activists report to Ms. that threats against them are ongoing and they believe their cell phones are tapped by the state." I am citing this although the credibility of Ms on women in the Middle East is like the credibility of Bush...in the Middle East. Posted by As'ad at 7:50 AM www.angryarab.blogspot.com

UAE MIRACLES

NOVANEWS "At only one point in his story did Naji Hamdan cry. Sitting in an office chair as he recounted how he was arrested, tortured and ultimately convicted of terrorism charges in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), his voice barely wavered. Only when he described how Emirati interrogators threatened to rape his wife in front of him if he did not confess to charges of supporting Al Qaeda did he lose control, pausing to accept a fistful of Kleenex before he continued his story."

SAUDI-ZIONIST CONSPIRCY?

NOVANEWS "Deputy Minister for the Development of the Negev and the Galilee, MK Ayoob Kara (Likud), said Israel had received messages from radical Muslim states with which it does not have diplomatic relations saying they would back any Israeli or US move against Iran. "These are positive, secretive messages which say that they will support any move," Kara said at a cultural event in Beersheba Saturday. "They have conveyed clear messages that they are concerned about the Iranian problem."" (thanks Farah) Posted by As'ad at 9:41 AM

MU-BARAK FOR A 6TH TERM

NOVANEWS The brave Egyptian journalist, `Abdul-Halim Qandil writes on Mubarak's sixth term in office. PS I am disappointed that Qandil has endorsed Al-Baradi`i (or Baradeeh as it is pronounced in US TV news) for president, and told him my opinion. PPS The widely circulated email to the effect that Qandil is missing is a hoax. Please stop sending it to me and stop asking me about his condition. Posted by As'ad at 6:26

DUBAI ZIONIST CORRUPT ROYAL FAMILY

NOVANEWS I watched an interview with Dubai's police chief on Aljazeera TV. The man does not deserve to be lionized or admired or praised. He did the minimum of his job and he was very effective indeed against the dumb Zionist Mossad hit team. In the interview, he strikes you as competent and intelligent and is fully aware of investigative work. He also challenged the view that the investigation was all based on electronic surveillance and said that there is a human investigative element, and said that he has Hebrew speakers among his staff. But what is bothersome is the extent to which he views himself as subservient, politically speaking, to the Sons of Zayid and to Sheikh Mo. He was so careful in everything he said not to offend the Zionist regime in 'Israel'. He made it sound that this ...
