148 'Behind snipers not Yanukovich but somebody from new coalition' - Ashton...

The Estonian Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the recording of his conversation with EU foreign policy chief is authentic. Urmas Paet said that snipers who shot protesters and police in Kiev were hired by Maiden leaders. Paet told RIA-Novosti news agency that he talked to Catherine Ashton last week right after returning from Kiev, but refrained from further comments, saying that he has to listen to the tape first. Its very disappointing that such surveillance took place altogether. It's not a coincidence that this conversation was uploaded (to the web) to-day, he stressed. My conversation with Ashton took place last week right after I returned from Kiev. At that time I was already in Estonia, Paet added.
Paet also gave a press conference about the leaked tape on Wednesday, saying that the dramatic events in Kiev, which resulted in people being killed, must become subject of an independent investigation. The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement on its website, saying that the recording of the leaked telephone conversation between Paet and Ashton is 'authentic'.

 

147 LIFE IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE

Anna Baltzar is an American Jewish women who vividly describes the plight of the Palestinian people in the West Bank. This very moving one hour long eyewitness account makes compelling reading. It is one of the best documentaries I have seen.

143 MISQUOTED

The Former President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over the years has been persistently and deliberately misquoted by the Western Zionist dominated news media. The original statement in Persian did not say that Israel should be wiped of the map, but instead that it would eventually collapse. It was the Ayatollah Khomeini who in a speech in Farsi delivered to an audience of university students  said:  "Een rezhim-i-eshghalgar-i Quds bayad az sahneh-ruzgar mahv shaved"
Translated into English: "This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the arena of time".
However anonymous wire service translators rendered Khomeini as saying that Israel "must be wiped of the face of the map" This was also publicly stated by Israel's Minister for Intelligence and atomic energy Dan Meridor that the statement was inaccurate and had never been made as quoted by western news media. The misquote was deliberately disseminated by western Zionist dominated news media for  purely propagandistic reasons and as a pretext to accuse Iran of secretly building an atomic bomb so as to "wipe Israel of the map", a ludicrous accusation that if one cares to consider seriously the geographic location of Israel in the Middle East would not even be possible to be carried out with nuclear weapons.

142 Letter to the editor

May I thank E.E. (21/10/13) for drawing my attention to the 'Palmer Report' regarding the Israeli navy attack on the Mavi Marmara. Alltough I must concede that I had heard of the report, I had never read in full. However I find the report rather ambiguous to say the least, but nevertheless it makes some interesting observations. In its conclusion it states for instance, that the "blockade is illegal if imposed with the sole aim to starve a civilian population or if its effects on the civilian population are in excess of the achieved military advantage" (Has Israel not already have a significant military advantage over Gaza?). Furthemore: "the civilian population must be allowed to receive food and objects to its survival". The General Assembly of the United Nations of 27th September 2010 (17/HRC/15/21) in its final conclusion condemns unambiguously and downright the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara. To my surprise I found that even one of the leading Israeli daily newspapers 'Haaretz' concluded that the Israeli action was unlawful.
