Blackwater’s Youngest Victim

 

Ali would never visit that park. Within a few hours, he would be dead from a gunshot wound to the head. While you may have never heard his name, you probably know something about how Ali Mohammed Hafedh Kinani died. He was the youngest person killed by Blackwater forces in the infamous Nisour Square…

Blackwater are criminals, but there are thousands of Ali Kinani’s and they were killed by official US acts of war since Bush II’s invasion in 2003. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Ali Kinani’s who Clinton/Albright sanctions killed in the 1990s. Not to mention the Ali Kinani’s who were killed by Bush I in the first Gulf War. Not to mention the Ali Kinani’s that President Obama is still bombing around the world today. Curse Blackwater, but do not isolate it from American policy in Iraq for the past several presidencies.

Secret Archive Gives Grim View of Afghan War – NYT

A six-year archive of classified military documents to be made public on Sunday offers an unvarnished, ground-level picture of the war in Afghanistan that is in many respects more grim than the official portrayal.
Shoot, you don’t need secret documents to tell you that… but viva WikiLeaks either way.

Israel turns upon its own | Rachel Shabi | Comment is free | The Guardian

But what we’re seeing today is just the unleashing of a long-incubated racism, both institutional and incidental. It doesn’t emanate from the Jewish component of Israeli nationhood. It is informed by the Eurocentric cornerstones of the country: the belief, expressed by Israel’s founding fathers and …

In the US, anti-miscegenation laws were on the books until 1967, when the Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional. That was the same year that Israel began its occupation of Sabbar Kashur’s home in East Jerusalem. Since then, Israelis have fine-tuned their own obsession with racial purity. Only…
