Yesterday, the UN Human Rights Council issued, a 56 page damning indictment of Israeli actions on the night of May 31st last when the Gaza Freedom Flotilla was attacked in international waters resulting in the murders of 9 humanitarian activists and serious injuries to many of the other participants.

The 1%

We have all heard of the ‘golden circle’. We all know that there is one law for the rich and another law for the rest of us.
