Mauritian PM calls out UK & US duplicity, revives colonial row over evicted Chagos islanders

  One of the Chagos Islands - Diego Garcia - is home to a US military base Mauritian PM calls out UK & US duplicity, revives colonial row over evicted Chagos islanders by aletho RT | October 19, 2020 Mauritian Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth has slammed the UK and US for their mistreatment of the Chagossian people, evicted from their homeland by the British in the 1960s and 1970s so that the US could use it as a military base. Speaking on Sunday in the Mauritian capital of Port Louis, the PM lamented how the British and Americans acted when they evicted thousands of people from their homeland on the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. When we hear the British and Americans talking on the international stage, they teach lessons. They criticize. The English and the Americans are hypocrites. Mauritius and the Chagos Islands were ceded to Britain in 1814 after the defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The British government later purchased Chagos from Mauritius in 1965, with

Demigods and the Birth of Noah

 Demigods and the Birth of Noah The Sons of Elohim sleeping with women and producing demigods (Gen 6:1-4) is sandwiched between the birth of Noah and the flood. This juxtaposition of passages prompted 1 Enoch and Genesis Apocryphon to question whether Lamech was Noah's father or whether Noah was a demigod. Personal note from the editors: We are honored to share with you Dr. Rabbi Samuel Z. Glaser z”l’s final piece for TheTorah.com.

Our struggle is nothing but a fateful battle for liberation and independence,” he said. Saree noted that there were secret relations between Saleh’s government and Israel, which dated

Report: Trump to Issue Executive Order to Punish Arms Sales to Iran

  Tehran, Iran Report: Trump to Issue Executive Order to Punish Arms Sales to Iran U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order in the coming days to allow U.S. sanctions on anyone who sells arms to Iran in violation of the U.N. arms embargo, reported Reuters on Thursday, citing four sources familiar with the matter. Neither the White House nor the Iranian mission to the United Nations immediately responded to requests for comment from the outlet. This expected executive order comes as the U.N. arms embargo on Iran is set to be extended indefinitely with the United States activating the mechanism last month to enact U.N. snapback sanctions on the regime under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and lifted six Security Council resolutions sanctioning Iran. The move to enact snapback came after the U.N. Security Council failed to pass a resolution last month to extend the arms embargo on Iran. The snapback sanctions will

I glimpsed with the rays of hope and hope lurking behind the desolation of the place, I felt energetic and became like a butterfly circling around the fire, and I was listening to the details Details from Zamanjil, his words sting me to change my convictions that I was carrying about the Falasha. Zamengel pointed to me as we crossed the rugged mountains in our old car to the rural town of Lika near Qandar.

Knesset rejects bill to ensure full equality between all Israeli citizens

  Knesset rejects bill to ensure full equality between all Israeli citizens by aletho MEMO | September 18, 2020 The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has rejected a bill presented by Yousef Jabareen on behalf of the Arab Joint List intended to ensure full equality for all of Israel’s citizens, regardless of their ethnicity or religious affiliation. Jabareen presented his bill in advance of the 20th anniversary of the Aqsa Intifada, which has became a cornerstone in the collective consciousness of Israel’s Arab citizens, who make up 20 per cent of the population. They suffer from institutional discrimination, exclusion and hostility. Despite the bill highlighting the need for human rights and democracy to be available to all in the Zionist state, it was rejected by a majority of the ruling coalition and opposition parties. “What I am proposing to you is first and foremost a peace treaty between the state and its Arab citizens, before addressing what is beyond its borders,” Jabareen told
