bastardry

"Bastardry" seeks to redress the balance away from isolated acts of terrorism to focus on the far more potent killing machines of state sponsored terrorism. As far as our media are concerned, the very term "state sponsored terrorism" only applies to so-called "rogue states" aligned on an "axis of evil"; they turn a blind eye to the mass terrorism perpetrated by the US, UK, Russia, Israel and their fellow travellers like Australia.

Israel's Criminal Use of Cluster Bombs

Many thousands of tiny bomblets are now scattered across Lebannon and already children have picked them up with disastrous consequences. Check this link to a BBC report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5299938.stm

Israeli Defence Force War Crimes

The Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev promised an inquiry into
the IDF attack on UN Control Base Khiam on July 25 which killed 4
personnel. He denied any knowledge of the July 23 missile attack
against a Red Cross ambulance in convoy heading for Tyre in which a
direct hit was scored on the very centre of the cross. Now that the
"fog of war" has cleared when can we expect an explanation for these
war crimes?

Wheat, War and Terror

One of the justifications we were given for invading Iraq was that
Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with Al Qaeda and that they had access
to weapons of mass destruction. Currently this is being reiterated by
American Republicans as they try to ward off the malign electoral
consequences of the Iraq fiasco, by linking Iraq to the "war on
terror".

The Australian Wheat Board helped fund Saddam Hussein's regime through
bribery and thus its members and complicit politicians like Mr Downer,
are guilty of financially supporting terrorism. This is a serious
offence under the Anti-Terrorism Bill and carries a maximum sentence
of 15 years. The AFP should immediately apply for preventative
detention orders and haul these suspects in for questionning.
