US teachers union urges Biden to stop supporting Israel
The largest teachers union in the United States has called on the United States government to stop arming and supporting the Israeli regime.
Jul. 6 - The largest teachers union in the United States has called on the United States government to stop arming and supporting the Israeli regime.
The resolution, introduced ahead of the National Education Association's (NEA) annual convention last week, also condemned Israel for its "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians and sought to garner support for Palestinian rights among educators in the country.
"The Arab population of Palestine has again risen up in a heroic struggle against military repression and 'ethnic cleansing' by the Israeli state and extreme nationalist forces in Israeli society," the measure said.
"The NEA will publicize its support for the Palestinian struggle for justice and call on the United States government to stop arming and supporting Israel and Saudi Arabia"... more

Collective Punishment and Humanitarian Aid!
Bouthaina Shaaban explains that the West's strategy of pretending to care for Syrians in the North while collectively punishing all of Syria through sanctions is hypocrisy.
Jul 6 - For the past two months, western media and research centers have been focused on just one topic about Syria: the need to open what they describe as “cross border aid corridors.” These commentators lament those who will be hungry and poor if the noble hands of the West are stopped from reaching out to save their lives.
Western media and research centers have believed their own lie and rejoiced in their delusion because it gave them false satisfaction that they have acted according to principles of morality, of which they always speak. Strangely, however, all these Western media outlets are directed to talk about three million people living in northwest and northeast Syria; yet they have never mentioned the 20 million Syrians who are being collectively punished, in an immoral and illegal manner.
In fact, [the Western-led] sanctions amount to a crime of genocide, as they are responsible for the poverty, hunger, and rising living expenses affecting millions of Syrians. The sanctions effectively prevent Syrians from accessing food, medicine, and electricity; they also punish any party that tries to sell these necessities, or tries to help Syrian people, or violates the sanctions by any means... more

Missile attack on US military base as Syria accuses occupying forces of stealing oil
Jul. 6 - MISSILES were fired at a United States military base at the al-Omar oil field in Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, on Sunday evening, the second such attack in less than a week.
A number of rockets targeted the occupying forces at the base. No casualties were reported.
The attacks took place in the wake of US drone strikes in Syria and Iraq last week, which Washington claimed was an act of self-defence.
A child was killed in that attack along with four members of the Popular Mobilisation Forces, an Iranian-backed militia that has been carrying out joint anti-Isis operations with the Iraqi military.
Damascus has accused the US of continuing to steal Syrian resources, particularly oil and wheat, while subjecting the people to crippling sanctions as part of the Caesar Act introduced last year.
Local sources said that a column of 45 trucks loaded with wheat and oil left Ramlan in Syria’s north-eastern Hasakah province via an illegal crossing into northern Iraq on Sunday evening. It followed some 37 trucks also alleged to be shipping stolen oil making the same journey the previous day.
The Syrian government said that it had taken extra measures to provide water to the people of Hasakah province after Turkey cut off supply from the Alouk plant for an eighth consecutive day.
Ankara, whose forces occupy whole swathes of north-eastern Syria along with its jihadist allies, regularly cuts off water in the region, using it as a weapon in its war on the country’s Kurdish population.
Hassan al-Shamhoud, chairman of the newly formed Special Committee for Drinking Water in Hasakah province, said that tanks are now supplying water in people’s homes and also providing drinking water on a daily basis. source from
