So far having read the news media, this is all hearsay as i cannot find any publication of the actual Spiez report and they have not made any comment on the Russian statement.Perhaps you have had better success in tracking down the actual technical papers
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43766556The BBC's international law expert explains the legality or otherwise of the attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_IndustryFinkelstein has demolished the Zionist propaganda use of the Holocaust. There are numerous videos of his lectures on You Tube.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43768144Corbyn's letter to May. A cautious response which permits a Corbyn the latitude to embark upon his own "humanitarian" war of intervention if it is deemed legal by the UN or one of its agencies.
Credit where credit is due. May has learned from Blair's mistakes and has published its legal case for war.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/syria-action-uk-government-legal-position/syria-action-uk-government-legal-positionI'm no lawyer but using this statement as a precedent then China (or Iran, to make it more relevant) has the humanitarian right to attack Saudi military airfields to stop the illegal bombing of civilians in Yemen as Saudi's allies (UK and US) provide it with diplomatic cover.No mention is made that OPCW. No mention made that the use of chlorine barrel bombs can continue to be improvised. I'm sure DaveB can provide the DIY details for one.
You haven't forgotten have you that i am a copy and paste plagiarist….Always to protect my back on the blog, everything is bits and pieces taken from past SS articles and made into something that looks fresh but isn't really.

Quote:Most political organizations from the left are already publishing their stand regarding the US/Franc/UK strike on Syria. The SPGB should also publish their own declaration because this might become a very dangerous situation and might provoke a confrontation between the US and Russia.I hope this latest blog post goes some way to explaining our position, Marcoshttp://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.com/2018/04/in-response-to-syrian-air-attacks.html
Update on the statue http://www.dw.com/en/karl-marx-statue-erected-in-trier-for-200th-birthday-celebrations/a-43372441"The glorifying Marx monument is a poisonous gift from China," said Ulrich Delius, director of the Society for Threatened Peoples, adding that it was "sad," that the city had accepted a statue from a government that "commits state terror against its own people."Dieter Dombrowski of the Union of Victims' Associations of Communist Tyranny called the gesture "bizarre."Marx was "not just a scientist and philosopher," he said. He also "laid the spiritual foundations for the communist dictatorships that came afterwards."Councillor Andreas Ludwig said the statue, created by Chinese artist Wu Weishan, wasn't about glorifying Marx's ideology but rather aimed to encourage discussion about his work. He added that it was important to maintain ties with China given that the city is visited by 50,000 Chinese tourists annually. "Karl Marx is one of the biggest citizens in this city and we should not hide it," Trier Mayor Wolfram Leibe said.
Another humanitarian NGO that may well be not all that it seems. Syrian American Medical Societyhttps://www.truthdig.com/articles/how-the-syrian-american-medical-society-is-selling-regime-change-and-driving-the-u-s-to-war/
Israel possesses a problem with religious sects such as the Orthodox who wish to have their rules imposed such as those concerning marriage and others who seek it to be a fully theocratic state. Many in the cosmopolitan cities such as Tel Aviv favour the more secular state. I recall many years ago, ambulances being stoned by fanatic fundamentalists for working on the Sabbath before some sort of compromise was reached. It is useful to remind those who raise the scare story of Muslims wishing Sharia law in the UK that for many contracts such as divorce Jewish rabbinic law is followed with their own court system, beth din, in the UK
I wonder how those so keen to accuse Labour Party and Corbyn would have treated Gerald Kaufman if he was still alivehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Kaufman#Criticism_of_IsraelHe supported BDS, he accused Israel of being an apartheid state, he accused Israeli politicians of exploiting The Holocaust, he said Israel was committing war crimes, he accused sections of the Tory Party of being controlled by Jewish millionaires. Would he be another self-hating jew as Chomsky, Finkelstein Sanders and many other Jewish critics of Israel policies are? They accuse such people of using their Jewishness as a weapon against Israel and other Jews. Would the British state ever include such attitudes in their definition of anti-semitism?
https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-could-you-marry-in-israel-1.5250455It seems that indeed there is no interfaith "mixed" marriages permittedNo civil marriage exists in Israel…but there is civil unions.
