Sinceramente, esse caso desse menino Juan mostrou o quanto esse governo é INCOMPETENTE e OMISSO no trato da segurança pública.
Bem que o Secretário de Segurança José Mariano Beltrame já tinha dito que um tiro disparado em Copacabana é diferente de um tiro em uma favela. Tudo indicava que não haveria nenhuma investigação sobre o desaparecimento do menino Juan, a polícia somente resolveu "trabalhar" graças a imprensa, precisamente o jornal Extra, que dias depois publicou uma grande matéria dando destaque na capa da omissão da polícia, dizendo que dias já haviam se passado e nada tinha sido feito.
Até a perícia errou na hora de identificar o corpo.
Eu já postei sobre esse assunto aqui hoje. O descaso com o povo e a família do Juan foi total, isso é lamentável e revoltante.
Reprodução da Folha de São Paulo on line
 É de Juan de Moraes, 11, o corpo de uma criança achado há uma semana às margens de um rio em Nova Iguaçu (Baixada Fluminense) e identificado inicialmente pela polícia como o de uma menina.Juan sumiu no dia 20, após se deparar com policiais militares durante tiroteio numa viela de uma favela da cidade. O IML ainda não concluiu o laudo que apontará de que forma ele foi morto. Testemunhas afirmaram à polícia que o menino levou um tiro no pescoço. Amanhã será feita uma reconstituição do crime. O perito legista Abrão Lincoln de Oliveira, presidente da Associação Fluminense de Medicina Legal, disse ter visto o corpo no IML, com fraturas no braço, na coxa e na perna esquerda. "Pareciam ter sido causadas por tiros." A confirmação da morte de Juan foi anunciada ontem à tarde pela chefe de Polícia Civil do Rio, Martha Rocha. Inicialmente, a polícia havia informado que o corpo era de uma menina, mas exames de DNA comprovaram que se tratava do menino. A perita que identificou o corpo como o de uma garota será alvo de sindicância. Para a polícia, ela foi "precipitada" em suas conclusões. Quando foi encontrado, o corpo de Juan já estava em estado avançado de decomposição por ter ficado exposto à água suja e a animais. Com isso, a identificação visual do sexo não foi possível. Segundo o diretor do Departamento-Geral de Polícia Técnico Científica, Sérgio Henriques, foi feita então a análise do esqueleto -as características do crânio, da arcada dentária e da bacia são diferentes em homens e mulheres. As distinções, porém, são mais claras em adultos.  |

oitado da trupe dos oficiais do alto escalão dos Bombeiros Militares ficaram com "mal estar", por que a bombeirada cantou o hino com disposição !!!
Mal estar ??? Malestar é o bombeiro militar viver com R$ 950 reais por mês. Mal estar é o governador Sérgio Cabral agora estar morando em um "novo" apartamento de R$ 9 milhões de reais na Praia do Leblon. Mal estar é o CACETE, bombeiros militares acordem, esse governo vagabundo só quer ferrar vocês, ninguém vive com esse salário miserável de R$ 950 reais por mês, as manifestações pacíficas e ordeiras devem voltar as ruas o mais rápido possível.  RIO- A cerimônia de formatura de 63 cabos do Corpo de Bombeiros do Rio, no quartel de Guadalupe, na Zona Norte, causou
mal estar entre oficiais de alto escalão da corporação, inclusive o
comandante-geral, coronel Sérgio Simões, que estava no evento. Durante a solenidade, os formandos cantaram o hino do Corpo de Bombeiros de forma agressiva e inadequada, confome descreveu a própria instituição militar.
O hino fora do tom gerou constrangimento aos oficiais do Curso Superior de Comando e alguns deles deixaram a cerimônia
antes do fim, realizada na quarta-feira. Em resposta, o comando-geral
determinou que cada um dos 63 militares preenchessem um memorando para
alegar os motivos da irregularidade. Os militares têm até esta
sexta-feira para entregarem a defesa.

Cópia do boletim interno do Corpo de Bombeiros Militares do Estado do Rio de Janeiro publicado ontem.
 Esse governo do Rio de Janeiro é um VAGABUNDO, e com letras maíusculas, além de mandar prender ilegalmente 439 bombeiros militares, e até agora não conceder um real de aumento, continua a repressão.Vejam que pelo boletim interno da corporação (acima) PUBLICADO ONTEM, passou a ser PROIBIDO estacionar os carros dos bombeiros que tenham qualquer ADESIVO, FITAS, BANDEIRAS, PINTURAS, FAIXAS ADEREÇOS, ADORNOS OU ACESSÓRIOS que façam referência, explícita ou implícita, aos fatos ocorridos durante movimentos reinvindicatórios por melhorias de vencimentos e de condições de trabalho. Engraçado que essa BOSTA de boletim dá a entender que os movimentos reivindicatórios acabaram, salvo engano, nada foi concedido aos bombeiros militares, desta forma, o movimento apenas está começando. Além do que essa medida mais uma vez mostra o lado DITATORIAL e REPRESSIVO desse governo vagabundo. Por, fim, pode-se entender que a BOSTA desse boletim é inconstitucional por violar o direito de liberdade de expresão dos bombeiros militares. Alô bombeiros militares do Rio de Janeiro já deu para perceber que esse governo VAGABUNDO não quer atender as reivindicações de vocês, por isso as manifestações devem voltar o mais rápido possível. Como vocês dizem: "Nenhum passo daremos atrás".  |

Sinceramente,
eu NUNCA acreditei nos dados da violência fornecidos pelo ISP -
Instituro de Segurança Pública, leia-se, Governo Sérgio Cabral.Agora revela-se que os os homicídios dololosos no Rio de Janeiro aumentaram.A matéria do Globo é muito tendenciosa, vou ler mais sobre esse assunto em outros jornais, e volto a comentar.
Uma coisa é certa, o mundo pode desabar, mas o Secretáro de Segurança José Mariano Beltrame permanece intocável. Em tempo, fico curioso se o Globo amanhã vai dar destaque a essa notícia na capa, a conferir.

 RIO
- Após quatro meses consecutivos de queda, o índice de homicídio
doloso (com intenção de matar), que compõe o indicador letalidade
violenta, apresentou, em maio, um pequeno aumento de 2,5% (mais 9
vítimas) no Estado do Rio. Foram 370 vítimas em 2011, contra 361 no
mesmo período do ano passado, segundo o Instituto de Segurança Pública
(ISP). Já o segundo trimestre deste ano em relação ao ano passado, houve
redução de 10,2% (menos 131 vítimas). Foram 1.154 casos em 2011 e
1.285 no mesmo período do ano passado.  |

É triste e revoltante o descaso com o Rio de Janeiro, enquanto Sérgio Cabral viaja em jatos do Eike Batista, e vai morar em frente a praia no Leblon em apartamento de milhões de reais, o povo sofre, agora até bueiros estão explodindo ferindo e assustando pessoas.
Mas o mais novo TERROR do povo do Rio de Janeiro já virou jogo no Facebook.
RIO - A sucessão de explosões de bueiros que aflige o Rio já virou joguinho no Facebook. No aplicativo "Desafio Rio Boom-eiro", o internauta controla um carioca que caminha pela "Rua Bueiros Aires" atento aos bueiros que explodem a qualquer momento.
"Caminhe pela cidade maravilhosa sem voar pelos ares", diz a tela de entrada do jogo, que está disponível neste link .
O game foi desenvolvido pela Playerum, a mesma que criou o "Tomatocracia", jogo para o Facebook lançado na época da eleição presidencial em que os usuários escolhem entre Serra e Dilma como alvos de seus tomates virtuais.
O visual de "Desafio Rio Boom-eiro" é bem simples, em 2D, e a jogabilidade é restrita aos botões de direção
(setas). A pontuação avalia apenas a distância que o jogador percorre
sem ser atingido por um bueiro em chamas ou cair em um sem tampa.
No início desta tarde, um tal Marcus Ulisses liderava o ranking do jogo com 10.319 pontps. Mais de 250 pessoas já haviam "curtido" o jogo.
Por serem simples, os jogos casuais não exigem muito tempo dos desenvolvedores, podendo ser criados em questão de dias. Com isso, proliferam no Facebook e em outros sites games com temática inspirada no noticiário do momento que cativam os internautas.
Em novembro do ano passado, causou polêmica o "Fuga da Vila Cruzeiro"
, cujo objetivo é matar os bandidos em fuga da Complexo do Alemão durante a invasão policial.

Erros e mais errros no caso do menino Juan, eu já disse isso aqui dezenas de vezes, até o delegado do caso foi afastado, sem dizer a demora nas investigações, a grave falha da perita, e etc.
Agora
a imprensa informa que o Governo Federal irá acompanhar os
desdobramentos do caso Juan, decisão que comprova mais uma vez a OMISSÃO
e o DESPREPARO do Governo Sérgio Cabral.
Outro fato bárbaro que também comprova a INCOMPETÊNCIA desse governo vagabundo do Rio de Janeiro, é que os familiares do menino Juan foram tirados do estado, e estão sob a proteção do Governo Federal.
Será que nem a segurança dos familiares do menino Juan o Governo Sérgio Cabral foi capaz de fazer ???
A
Secretaria de Direitos Humanos da Presidência da República emitiu
nesta quarta-feira (6) uma nota sobre a confirmação do assassinato do
menino Juan Moraes. O corpo foi encontrado na beira do rio Botas, em Belford Roxo, na Baixada Fluminense.
No texto, a secretaria informa que é inaceitável o homicídio bárbaro de uma criança em qualquer situação. A evidência do envolvimento direto de agentes públicos, que têm a obrigação de zelar pela segurança da população, torna o episódio ainda mais revoltante.
Desde
que foi notificada do caso, a Secretaria de Direitos Humanos da
Presidência da República vem cumprindo com o seu papel, acompanhando a
investigação e oferecendo proteção à vida dos familiares de Juan. Estes permanecerão sob proteção federal enquanto houver risco à sua integridade física.
A
secretaria informou também o governo brasileiro não tolera esse tipo
de crime contra qualquer ser humano. A situação se agrava por se tratar
de uma criança que é, segundo a Constituição Federal, prioridade
absoluta, que implica primazia de receber proteção e socorro em quaisquer circunstâncias.
De
acordo com a secretaria, a expectativa da sociedade brasileira é que
sejam tomadas todas as medidas para que os responsáveis não fiquem
impunes. Nesse sentido, é fundamental que o governo do Estado do Rio de
Janeiro atue de forma firme e competente para identificar os responsáveis, a exemplo do que fez no afastamento do delegado que acompanhava o caso e agiu inadequadamente diante dos fatos. O governo federal acompanhará de perto os desdobramentos para garantir justiça e evitar a impunidade.

Dispensa-se ficar repetindo aqui o quanto a Secretária de Segurança Pública ERROU e foi OMISSA no caso do menino Juan.
Mas agora o fato do laudo cadavérico, ou seja, a perícia não conseguir apontar o motivo da morte de Juan é muito estranho, já que testemunhas alegam que ele foi baleado no pescoço. Será que estamos diante de outro ERRO da Secretária de Segurança Pública ???
Se a perícia não apontou a causa da morte do menino Juan ninguém poderá ser responsabilizado !!!
Cono acusar alguém de um homicídio, se não se sabe o motivo da morte ???
Reprodução do site R7
 O diretor do Departamento de Polícia Técnica da Polícia Civil, delegado Sérgio Henriques, informou nesta quarta-feira (6) que não foi possível determinar a causa da morte do menino Juan Moraes, de 11 anos. O laudo do exame cadavérico não apontou sinais de fratura ou perfuração por tiro na ossada da criança.Segundo testemunhas, Juan foi baleado no pescoço. Apesar de a perícia não conseguir determinar a parte do corpo em que o menino teria sido baleado, o fato de não haver fratura pode indicar que Juan tenha mesmo sido ferido no pescoço, uma vez que se trata de uma região com mais músculos e menos osso.
- Quando o corpo tem fratura, podemos encontrar vestígios de projétil, por exemplo. No caso da ossada do Juan, não havia fraturas
e por isso não temos como determinar a causa da morte. Alguns
depoimentos apontam que ele foi ferido no pescoço, uma hipótese que
ganha força com esse laudo.

repercussão, o do menino Juan, a família ficou sabendo da morte do jovem

  A informação de que o corpo encontrado na semana passada é do menino Juan, de 11 anos, foi passada para a imprensa antes de chegar à família da vítima. A morte da criança foi confirmada na tarde desta quarta-feira (6) pela chefe da Polícia Civil do Rio, Martha Rocha.Por volta das 15h, quando foi procurado pelo R7, o pai de Juan, Alexandre da Silva, recebeu chocado a notícia. Inicialmente, pareceu não entender a mensagem, mas logo compreendeu do que se tratava e apenas perguntou: “Mas o corpo não era de uma menina?”. Em seguida, pediu para que o contato fosse refeito mais tarde e desligou.
Responsável
por fazer a ponte entre os agentes que investigam o caso e a família
do menino, a Secretaria Estadual de Assistência Social e Direitos
Humanos informou às 15h30 que não havia recebido da polícia o
comunicado oficial sobre a morte da criança.

Com
todo o respeito aos policiais, mas a Polícia Militar sob o comando do
Mário Sérgio foi OMISSA, INCOMPETENTE, e mostrou total DESPREPARO no
caso do menino Juan, e isso quem está dizendo é a imprensa.
O Comandante Mário Sérgio foi tão devagar, ou omisso, não sei exatamente qual a palavra usar, que somente resolveu afastar os policiais depois da confirmação da morte do menino Juan. Esse governo Sérgio Cabral se mostra cada vez mais OMISSO e INCOMPETENTE quando se trata de segurança pública.
Reprodução do site R7
 O comandante-geral da Polícia Militar, coronel Mário Sérgio Duarte, decidiu afastar do Batalhão de Mesquita (20º BPM) os quatro policias investigados pelo desaparecimento do menino Juan Moraes, de 11 anos. A decisão foi tomada com base na confirmação da morte da criança, anunciada na tarde desta quarta-feira (6) pela chefe da Polícia Civil, Martha Rocha.Ainda segundo o comandante-geral da PM, caso se comprove o envolvimento deles na morte de Juan, todos serão expulsos da corporação. - Se ficar provado que eles tiveram participação no sumiço do menino, os quatro serão expulsos. Perguntado se a possibilidade de envolvimento dos PMs no caso o deixava chocado, o coronel respondeu: - O que choca é saber que um menino foi assassinado e teve o corpo escondido, com a família passando por essa dor. Também é chocante as acusações contra os meus policiais. É preciso provar que eles estão envolvidos antes de julgá-los. O coronel Mário Sérgio evitou falar sobre a sindicância feita pela PM sobre o caso. Ele disse apenas que todas as informações colhidas estão sendo passadas à Polícia Civil. O oficial informou também que a atual política de segurança não é favorável ao enfrentamento.  |

O caso do menino Juan mostra um verdadeiro show de descaso, omissão, incompetência, e discriminação do Governo Sérgio Cabral.
Deve-se registrar que, o caso da morte do menino Juan nem seria investigado, se não fosse a intervenção da IMPRENSA, que cobrou e colocou o Governador Sérgio Cabral, Secretário de Segurança José Mariano Beltrame e cia na parede. Hoje as capas dos jornais de novo fazem um PROTESTO ante a INCOMPETÊNCIA do Governo Sérgio Cabral.

Risk-Free And Above The Law: U.S. Globalizes Drone Warfare
By Rick Rozoff
URL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25536
Global Research, July 7, 2011
Last
week the Washington Post, the New York Times and other major American
newspapers reported that the U.S. launched its first unmanned aerial
vehicle (drone) missile attack inside Somalia.
The
strike was the first acknowledged Pentagon military attack inside the
Horn of Africa nation since a helicopter raid staged by commandos in
2009 and the first use of an American drone to conduct a missile strike
there. Drones had earlier been used in the country in their original
capacity, for surveillance, including identifying targets for bomb and
missile attacks, one being shot down in October of 2009. But as
Britain’s The Guardian reported on July 30, the strike in Somalia marked
“the expansion of the pilotless war campaign to a sixth country,” as
the remote-controlled aircraft have already been employed to deadly
effect in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and most recently Libya.
The
lethal Somali mission was reportedly carried out by the U.S. Special
Operations Command, in charge of executing special forces operations of
the respective units of the four main branches of the American military:
The Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy. On July 4 the U.S. armed forces
publication Stars and Stripes reported that there are currently 7,000
American special forces in Afghanistan and another 3,000 in Iraq, with
the bulk of the latter to be transferred to the first country in what
was described as a “mini-surge” of special operations troops to
compensate for the withdrawal of 10,000 other troops from Afghanistan by
the end of this year.
Last
week BBC News reported on the proposed transfer of drone aircraft by
the U.S. to its military client states Uganda and Burundi for the war in
Somalia. Citing American defense officials, BBC disclosed that four
drones will be supplied to the two nations who have 9,000 troops engaged
in combat operations against anti-government insurgents in the Somali
capital of Mogadishu.
According
to a New York Times feature of July 1: “[T]he United States has largely
been relying on proxy forces in Somalia, including African Union
peacekeepers from Uganda and Burundi, to support Somalia’s fragile
government. The Pentagon is sending nearly $45 million in military
supplies, including night-vision equipment and four small unarmed
drones, to Uganda and Burundi to help combat the rising terror threat in
Somalia. During the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia in 2007, clandestine
operatives from the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command
initiated missions into Somalia from an airstrip in Ethiopia.”
On
June 15 a major newspaper in the United Arab Emirates, The National,
reported on the escalation of deadly U.S. drone attacks in Yemen, across
the Gulf of Aden from Somalia. It cited an official with the Yemeni
Ministry of Defense claiming that the U.S. had launched over 15 drone
strikes in the country in the first two weeks of June. The newspaper
also quoted the deputy governor of Abyan province, Abdullah Luqman,
decrying the attacks and stating: “These are the lives of innocent
people being killed. At least 130 people have been killed in the last
two weeks by US drones.”
The
leader of an observation committee created to evacuate local residents
added that “more than 40,000 people have left Abyan province because
they feared drone strikes.”
The same defense official mentioned above warned that the “United States is turning Yemen into another Pakistan.” [1]
Recent
reports in the American press reveal that the Pentagon will establish a
new air base in the Persian Gulf from which to intensify drone strikes
in Yemen. According to a Russian source, “The location is kept secret
but some say this might be Bahrain as it already has a US base [the
headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet] and provides the safest route to
Yemen for US drones through American ally Saudi Arabia.” [2]
The
drone missile assaults in Pakistan, which caused a record number of
deaths – over 1,000 – last year, are carried out by the Special
Activities Division of the Central Intelligence Agency, whose last
director is the new secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, a transfer that
presages a yet greater intensification of the deadly attacks inside the
South Asian nation.
On
June 5 the 40th drone strike of the year killed at least six people in
South Waziristan in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas,
bringing the death toll this year to at least 350.
Late
last month the Pakistani government ordered the U.S. to vacate the
Shamsi Air Base in the province of Balochistan which had been used for
drone strikes inside the nation. Washington has in the interim shifted
those operations to upgraded air bases in Afghanistan near the Pakistani
border. A recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found that
only 3 percent of Pakistanis support the drone attacks in the country’s
tribal belt.
At
the end of June, 28 people were reported killed by drone strikes in the
South Waziristan Agency, with a local resident quoted by Pajhwok Afghan
News as stating “that 20 civilians were killed and several others
injured in the second attack.” [3]
Some
2,100 of the 2,500 people killed in the strikes since they began in
2004 have lost their lives since 2009, when Barack Obama became the
president of the U.S. and Leon Panetta director of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
On
July 5 a British Reaper drone killed at least four Afghan civilians and
wounded two more in a missile attack in Helmand province. The use of
the Reaper, rightly referred to as the world’s deadliest drone, marks
the crossing of an ominous threshold. It is the first of what is
described as a hunter-killer – long-endurance, high-altitude –
remote-piloted aircraft that can be equipped with fifteen times the
amount of weaponry and fly at three times the speed of the Predator used
in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya. (The U.S. has
used Reapers in Iraq since 2008 and in Afghanistan starting the
following year. Toward the end of 2009 the Pentagon deployed Reapers to
the East African island nation of Seychelles along with over 100
military personnel.)
On June 28 the U.S. lost the third of three drones in Afghanistan in as many days.
A
recent Refugees International report stated that over 250,000 Afghans
have been forced to flee their towns and villages during the last two
years, over 91,000 so far this year: “Not only have NATO-led troops and
Afghan forces failed to protect Afghans, but international airstrikes
and night raids by U.S. Special Forces were destroying homes, crops and
infrastructure, traumatising civilians and displacing tens of thousands
of people.” [4]
Last month an RT feature suitably titled “US expands drone war, extremists expect new recruits” stated:
“The US has stepped up its drone attacks against militants in the Middle East, but the growing number of civilian deaths in the strikes has sparked public anger, with concern the action is driving up the number of extremist recruits.“In Pakistan, CIA drone strikes aim at terrorists but end up killing mostly civilians. Public outrage is growing. Hatred and anger foster more terror.“Washington now sees Yemen as the most dangerous Al-Qaeda outpost, and is planning to step up drone attacks on the country, establishing a base in the Persian Gulf specifically for that purpose.”
The source added:
“Americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone, with the CIA to take a central role.“As the agency is not subject to the accountability the US military is legally under, one can expect more bombs to fall on Yemen.“There is fury in Yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes. In one attack there, the American military presumably aiming at an Al-Qaeda training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children. In another strike a year ago, a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in Yemen, his family and aides.“With the expansion of the drone war it seems the US is seeking only a missile solution to fighting Al-Qaeda. Analysts say that some of the main features of this global chase are not having to take into account the voice of the nation that they are bombing and the lack of accountability when it comes to civilian deaths. These features add more paradox to the US strategy, with many asking whether America is fighting and fostering terror at the same time.” [5]
Analyst Denis Fedutinov told Voice of Russia last month:
“The US used drones already in the Balkans campaign, then in Iraq and Afghanistan and now in Libya. The US and Israel are the world drone leaders. Now America has several thousand drones of different classes.” [6]
In
fact, last year U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General Glenn Walters told
an Institute for Defense and Government Advancement conference that ten
years ago America had 200 drones in its arsenal, but by 2010 that number
had risen to 6,000 and that by next year it would be 8,000. A fortyfold
increase.
And
in May of 2010 “NATO representatives from around the world” visited the
Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center in the state of Indiana
to observe drone flight tests.
By
transferring control of the 110-day war against Libya from U.S. Africa
Command to NATO on March 31 the Obama administration intended to, among
other purposes, evade accountability to Congress (and federal law) under
provisions of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
The
resolution mandates that Congress must authorize military actions
initiated by the president within 60 days of their commencement or grant
him a 30-day extension. The 60-day limit was reached on May 20.
The
White House responded to Congressional opposition to prolonging
military action in Libya by releasing a 38-page report that claimed “US
military operations are distinct from the kind of ‘hostilities’
contemplated by the resolution’s 60-day termination provision.”
It
also maintained that “U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting
or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve
U.S. ground troops.”
Which
is to say, as long as American military personnel are not in harm’s way
it is not a war. Legal Adviser of the State Department Harold Koh
stated: “We are acting lawfully... We are not saying the War Powers
Resolution is unconstitutional or should be scrapped or that we can
refuse to consult Congress. We are saying the limited nature of this
particular mission is not the kind of ‘hostilities’ envisioned by the
War Powers Resolution.”
General
Carter Ham, the head of U.S. Africa Command, last month “said a
Republican-sponsored bill that would block American Predator drone
strikes in Libya would hurt the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
alliance,” and “predicted that NATO would be unable to replace certain
key U.S. missions, including the drone strikes and attacks to neutralize
Libyan air defenses that threaten allied planes, if proposed funding
cuts are made.” [7]
The
launching of over 200 cruise missiles into Libya in the opening days of
the war and the fact that, as the New York Times reported on June 21,
“American warplanes have struck at Libyan air defenses about 60 times,
and remotely operated drones have fired missiles at Libyan forces about
30 times” since command of the war was transferred from U.S. Africa
Command to NATO – after which NATO has conducted over 14,000 air
missions, more than 5,000 termed strike sorties – do not constitute
armed hostilities in the mind of Mr. Koh, who stated last year that
“U.S. targeting practices, including lethal operations conducted with
the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comply with all applicable
law, including the laws of war.” According to Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton’s top legal adviser, deadly drone attacks are “consistent with
its [the U.S.'s] inherent right to self-defense.” [8] Koh cagily refers
to murdering people on a grand scale by remote activation as targeted
killing rather than targeted assassination, as the second is expressly
prohibited under international law.
In a rare instance of dissenting from White House war policy, last month the New York Times published the following:
“Jack L. Goldsmith, who led the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration, said the Obama theory would set a precedent expanding future presidents’ unauthorized war-making powers, especially given the rise of remote-controlled combat technology.”
It further quoted Goldsmith directly:
“The administration’s theory implies that the president can wage war with drones and all manner of offshore missiles without having to bother with the War Powers Resolution’s time limits.”
Neither
cruise missiles nor Hellfire missile-equipped unmanned aerial vehicles
have pilots on board, so the lives of U.S. service members are safe as
Pakistanis, Afghans, Libyans, Iraqis, Yemenis and Somalis are torn to
shreds by U.S. strikes.
Wars of aggression are now both safe and “legal.”

Syria Condemns U.S. Ambassador's Visit to Hama (Al-Jazeera-Qatar)
Syria has accused Washington of "interfering" in its affairs by sending its ambassador to the restive city of Hama.
Robert Ford toured the city on Thursday to show solidarity with residents facing a security crackdown after weeks of demonstrations against Bashar al-Assad, Syria's president.
"The presence of the U.S. ambassador in Hama without previous permission is obvious proof of clear evidence of the United States' involvement in current events in Syria and its attempt to incite an escalation in the situation, which disturbs Syria's security and stability," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Israel Prohibits Brazil from Selling UAVs to Venezuela or Bolivia (El Universal-Venezuela)

- Israel, Europe Turn Back Pro-Palestinian Activists at Airports - Jeremy Last
Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters trying to reach Israel were blocked at airports in Europe and two American activists who arrived in Israel were deported Friday, Israeli officials said. Israel had asked foreign airlines to prevent blacklisted travelers from boarding Israel-bound flights. At Israel's request, several airlines barred about 200 would-be protesters from boarding flights to Israel from Europe, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. (AP)

Israel's Transportation Ministry has asked foreign airlines to report to Israeli authorities if any on a list of 300 blacklisted passengers appear on their flights to Israel in the next 24 hours, stressing that these people will not be granted entry into Israel and that the foreign airlines would need to fly them back to their countries of origin after they were deported.

About 50 passengers at the Lufthansa terminal at Paris' De Gaulle airport were turned back Friday, after French authorities discovered their names were included on Israel's list. The Hungarian airline Malev stopped dozens of French activists from boarding its plane in Paris. In Brussels, three Frenchmen were denied boarding a Swiss airline flight heading to Israel. Authorities at Geneva International Airport prevented 50 passengers from boarding a flight to Israel. The group caused a small ruckus and tried to barge through the airport's security gate. (Ynet News) - U.S. House Warns Palestinians on Statehood Bid
In an overwhelming 406-6 vote [13 answered "present"], the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday warned the Palestinians that they risk cuts in U.S. aid if they pursue UN recognition of a future state not defined in direct talks with Israel. The symbolic resolution sent a stern message to the Palestinians one week after the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a similar measure. "Any Palestinian unity government must publicly and formally forswear terrorism, accept Israel's right to exist, and reaffirm previous agreements made with Israel," says the resolution, crafted by Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Democratic House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. It warned of "serious implications for the United States assistance programs for the Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority" if they seek UN recognition of a future state. (AFP) - Captured Gaddafi Soldiers Tell of Low Morale in Libyan Army - Ernesto Londono
Beleaguered by NATO's bombing campaign, low morale and desertions, the Libyan army is relying heavily on fighters from sub-Saharan Africa as Moammar Gaddafi's government struggles to beat back rebels forces east and west of the capital, captured fighters said in interviews. The detainees said that as many as half the forces deployed by the Gaddafi regime to the front lines come from countries such as Niger and Mali. (Washington Post)

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday rejected a measure that would have withdrawn funding for U.S. military operations in Libya in a 199 to 229 vote. (Washington Post) - The UN Human Rights Council's Expert on Israel - Gabriel Latner
On June 29, Richard Falk, the UN Human Rights Council's expert on Israel, posted a cartoon on his blog depicting Lady Justice, with robes and scales, holding a dog by a leash. The dog is eating a dead body. On closer examination, the dog is wearing a coat that says "U.S.A.," as well as a skullcap decorated with the Star of David, the emblem the Jewish people. After a reader sent Falk a link showing the cartoon on his own website, Falk wrote: "Maybe I do not understand the cartoon, and if it offends in this way I have removed it from the blog. It may be in bad taste to an extent I had not earlier appreciated, but I certainly didn't realize that it could be viewed as anti-semitic [sic], and still do not realize." (National Post-Canada)
See also U.S. Calls on Richard Falk to Resign from UN Rights Council
Ambassador Eileen Donahoe, U.S. Representative to the UN Human Rights Council, issued the following statement on Thursday: "I am repulsed by the recent cartoon posting to the personal blog written by Richard Falk, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on "the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967."
"Mr. Falk's continued comments and postings to his personal blog are deeply offensive, and I condemn them in the strongest terms. I am registering a strong protest with the UN on behalf of the United States. The United States has often been critical of Mr. Falk's approach to his mandate, including his one-sided and politicized view of situation in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. We hope that he will resign, recognizing that his continued status as a UN mandate holder is a blight on the UN system." (U.S. Mission to the UN in Geneva)

The Egyptian-brokered reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Fatah has been put on hold, Aziz Dweik, a senior Hamas representative in the West Bank, said on Wednesday.

Israel is expected to recognize South Sudan as an independent state in the coming weeks, according to sources at the Foreign Ministry. South Sudan will declare its independence on Saturday. Israel plans to announce recognition immediately after the U.S. and EU countries do so. The Foreign Ministry has been exchanging secret messages with the government of South Sudan for a long time.
In October 2010, the president of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, declared that Israel is not an enemy and that he will weigh diplomatic relations with it, including the opening of an Israeli embassy. Nearly 2,000 refugees from South Sudan are living in Israel and, following the establishment of diplomatic relations, Israel will seek to repatriate most of them. (Ha'aretz)
- The Arab Spring Has Given Way to a Long, Hot Summer - Richard N. Haass
Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, and Libya have had their turn; now Syria occupies center stage. Syria's future rests on whether a handful of Alawite generals are prepared to keep killing their fellow citizens to preserve the Assad regime and, more fundamentally, Alawite primacy. Syria's violence is just one further sign that the promise of the Arab spring has given way to a long, hot summer in which the geopolitics of the Middle East are being reset for the worse.
The effects go wider still. Relations between Israelis and Palestinians are increasingly strained. Israelis are more reluctant than ever to make concessions in light of the disarray on their borders, while the new voice for Arab publics emerging from the upheavals makes it more difficult for Arab governments to compromise. The Quartet needs to work with, not dictate to, local parties. Launching a new negotiation is surely preferable to taking the issue to the UN General Assembly, where positions are likely to harden. The writer is president of the Council on Foreign Relations. (Financial Times-UK) - The Arab Spring Is an Economic Revolt - Fouad Ajami
For generations the Arab populations had bartered away their political freedom for economic protection. They rose in rebellion when it dawned on them that the bargain had not worked, that the system of subsidies, and the promise of equality held out by the autocrats, had proven a colossal failure. The old order of merchants and landholders was upended in the 1950s and '60s by a political and military class that assumed supreme power in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Algeria and Yemen. As a rule, they hailed from the underclass and they put the merchant classes to flight.
In the 1950s the Jews, Greeks, and Italians who had figured prominently in the economic life of Egypt were sent packing, taking with them their skills. In Iraq, the Jews of the country, on its soil for well over two millennia, were dispossessed and banished in 1950-51. In Syria, the Alawites, the religious sect to which the Assad clan belongs, had been poor peasants and sharecroppers, but political and military power raised them to new heights. If the tremendous upheaval at play in Arab lands is driven by a desire to capture state power - and the economic prerogatives that come with political power - the revolution will reproduce the failures of the past.

Could the central Syrian city of Hama come to define Bashar Assad's rule in the same way it did his father's? Over 70 were shot dead during protests on June 3. Fearing escalation beyond its control, the regime temporarily pulled out most forces. Free to protest, tens of thousands took to the streets. Some reports suggest 300,000 people, including women and children, turned out on July 1, the biggest protest to date.
Today's protesters have different aims and use different means to fight the regime. Far from being violent Islamists, many wish for a secular democracy and have not picked up weapons - at least not so far. "We were left to die the first time. We won't this time," says one defiant city resident. Like his father, Bashar could forever be tainted by blood shed in Hama. The city has unmatched reserves of defiance that make it the most likely site of an eventual bid by protesters to win control of territory and hold on to it. (Economist-UK)

- Flotilla Diplomacy Proves the Importance of Hard Power - Evelyn Gordon
With diplomatic efforts to stop this year's flotilla to Gaza a seeming success, a new myth has arisen: The success of this year's effort proves Israel could also have stopped last year's flotilla without bloodshed had it only been a bit smarter. But the sorry truth is Israel's diplomatic efforts succeeded this time only because of its willingness to use force last year.
Last year Israel tried desperately to stop the flotilla peacefully. It negotiated frantically with Turkey, but Ankara reneged at the last minute. It begged the countries whence the ships were sailing (Turkey, Greece and Ireland) not to let them depart, but to no avail: The unanimous response was democracies can't bar peaceful demonstrators from sailing the high seas. So why was it suddenly okay for democratic countries to intervene this year? Because this year, they had an excuse: The intervention was meant to prevent bloodshed. (Commentary) - The Flotilla Flop - Roz Rothstein and Roberta Seid
The "Free Gaza" Flotilla II campaign appears to be a flop. Leaders of the international community essentially pulled the plug on what they recognized as a potentially dangerous anti-Israel publicity stunt. The International Red Cross said there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza and whatever goods are needed can be delivered through legal, official entry points. It is now clear that members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas organized and raised money for the flotilla. Roz Rothstein is CEO and Dr. Roberta Seid is Education/Research Director of StandWithUs.

Many of the flotilla supporters are pitifully innocent activists who believe that the Palestinians are a subjugated people. There are few conflicts in history in which one side was more clearly in the wrong, and the other more clearly in the right, than in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On one side, there is a diverse coalition of people dedicated to peace, tolerance, democracy, and the rule of law, which has been mercilessly abused and attacked for 100 years.
On the other is an obscurantist, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, fascistic, and murderous political movement that persecutes homosexuals, represses women, and glorifies the murder of children in their sleep. The activists are right - the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about good vs. evil. They're just confused as to which is which. (National Review) - The Palestinian Money Hole - Daniel Greenfield
The World Bank report for 2011 found that only 16% of those living in the West Bank under PA control were living below the poverty line. The poverty rate in Washington, D.C., is 18.9%. Greece's poverty rate is 20%. Spain's is nearly as high. And 17% of the EU population is considered to be at risk of poverty. Israel's poverty rate is nearly 24%.
The Palestinian Authority is a wholly subsidized enterprise paid for by American and European taxpayers. The PA payroll stands at over 150,000 people. That's one government worker for every 10 adults - 1 of every 5 males. Last month the PA passed a law putting all imprisoned terrorists, even members of Hamas, on its payroll. Now the PA expects foreign donors to enable it to continue paying money to convicted murderers.

Yossi Klein Halevi, a journalist and a fellow at Jerusalem's Shalom Hartman Institute, says support for Jewish settlers in the West Bank has gone mainstream in a way that support for settlements in Gaza never did. "Two generations have grown up in Israel who see the settlements not only as part of Israel but as the heart of Israel," he says. (JTA)
Arab World
- With the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations stalled for more than two years, the tide of support for recognition of Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September is growing. Palestinian unilateralism has been buoyed not only by strong support from Arab nations, but also from Britain and France.
- Yet PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad reported that of the $971 million in pledges made by donors, so far this year only $330 million had actually been paid. That the same friends who are promising their UN votes to the PA are failing to follow through on their aid pledges should give Palestinians pause.
- The last IMF report on the Palestinian economy noted that continued economic recovery depended on further reductions by Israel in restrictions on movement and access within the West Bank and Gaza and better coordination between the PA and Israel on the collection of "clearance revenue" (essentially taxes and fees collected by Israeli authorities and transferred to the PA).
- These boil down to Israeli-Palestinian cooperation, which is threatened by the specter of Palestinian unilateralism in September. As the report on unfulfilled donor pledges makes clear, the Palestinians cannot count on the friends cheering them on rhetorically to step up financially if the going gets rough post-September.
- For
Israelis and Palestinians, there is no unilateral path to peace and
prosperity; these will be achieved only through the hard work of
negotiations. This is the sobering lesson Palestinians should take from
the latest economic data, and the unified message the U.S. and its
allies should deliver to Ramallah.
