SSDD~Settler Cockroaches At It Again & Again

Hebron – Ma’an – Israeli troops and settlers continued their assaults against Palestinians living in Beit Kur, Khirbet Safa and At-Tuwani, all in the vicinity of Hebron, on Monday.

Todays update on the cockroaches below:

Security sources told Ma'an's correspondent in Hebron that ”Israeli bulldozers drifted three donums planted with grapes, lands owned by Shehadeh Abdel Fattah Sabarneh and Wahid Hassan Sabarneh."

The troops also dug up a road aobut 500 meters in length and four meters wide in the Wardan area southeast of Beit Ummar.

The sources added, "The settlers are still assaulting the residents of Khirbet Safa, where they uprooted hundreds of grapes and almonds from lands owned by the Thalgi and Quqas families."

In At-Tuwani, south of Hebron, resident Jamal Rab’y said, "During Passover holidays settlers uprooted our trees and harvested the wheat, while protected by Israeli troops, who closed the area alleging that it is a closed military area.” link

DEFAMATION~Muslim Leader Brings Suit Against UK Government Official

Blears is an asshat pro-Israeli eejit and a disgrace to Britain. For those not aware of the background on this you can read a snippit of the background report then the most recent development of the lawsuit by Dr. Abdullah against Blears. Amazingly enough, She has even managed to anger a Zionist who has debated with Dr. Abdullah on television many times. Even HE thinks she's a nutter!

The extraordinary action taken against the Muslim Council of Britain by communities minister Hazel Blears has rightly aroused widespread condemnation.

As Brian Whitaker has already pointed out, Blears's 13 March letter to the MCB, suspending "engagement" with it pending the outcome of its investigation into the conduct of its deputy general secretary, Daud Abdullah, amounts to a piece of quite unwarranted Whitehall interference in the internal working of an independent body operating entirely legally in this country. In principle, whom the MCB chooses as its office-holders is none of Blears's business. The very unfortunate precedent she is trying to set reflects the practices of a totalitarian state – China perhaps, or Zimbabwe. I am shocked that such a mindset could emerge in the UK.

But I am also deeply upset as a democrat, a Jew and a Zionist – and as a passionate believer in freedom of expression who has debated publicly with Abdullah (through Press TV) on two occasions. BACKGROUND SOURCE

LATEST UPDATE BELOW:

Hazel Blears faces libel action for attack on leading Muslim

A leader of Britain's largest Muslim organisation is threatening to sue Hazel Blears, the secretary of state for communities, after she accused him of calling for violence against Jewish communities and British troops.

In what is being described by members of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) as a crisis in relations between the Muslim community and the government, lawyers acting for its deputy secretary general have accused Blears of adopting "an extraordinary and malicious interpretation" of a declaration he signed this year.

The standoff originated last week when Blears demanded the resignation of Dr Daud Abdullah following his participation in the global anti-aggression conference in Istanbul, stating that the declaration "calls for violence against troops and Jewish communities".

Abdullah rejected the claims, repeated by Blears on several occasions, including in a letter to the Guardian, stating that they were "entirely untrue".
Abdullah said: "I do not advocate attacks on any religious community. Both I and the MCB have done everything possible to de-escalate the crisis ... we have explained all our concerns and have met with parliamentarians to move on. But the government has tried to publicly humiliate me ... I felt obliged to defend myself in a legal manner against these serious and defamatory allegations."

Blears's statement has sparked outrage across the religious and political divide, while a letter in the Guardian last week, signed by figures including Ken Livingstone and Tony Benn, urged the government to "end its attack on Dr Abdullah and reinstate its relations with the MCB".

Abdullah's lawyers have told Blears that unless she issues a retraction and apology by 15 April they will issue proceedings for libel.
