European Union : EU must suspend all upgrading plans with Israel!

OPEN LETTER : EU-Israel Association Meeting June 09 - (PDF -http://www.fidh.org/IMG/pdf/EMHRN-FIDH_Open_letter_EU-Israel_AC_June_09.pdf open letter from FIDH and EMHRN to the EU in light of the EU-Israel Association meeting on June 15th, 2009.http://www.fidh.org/EU-must-suspend-all-upgrading

Since the EU’s political commitment to upgrade its relations with Israel in June 2008, the human rights situation on the ground has severely deteriorated both in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and in Israel. Given these negative developments, the EU should publicly state that the upgrading of EU-Israel relations is on hold, pending tangible progress in Israel’s respect for human rights and International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and that any deepening of relations between the two parties has to be conditioned on Israel’s fulfilment of these commitments.

The EMHRN and FIDH urge the EU to use the upcoming EU-Israel Association Council meeting to put pressure on Israel to: • Cease immediately its unlawful measures of collective punishment against civilians in Gaza, including the immediate lifting of the blockade and the opening of the crossings to goods and people; • Allow access of the UN Human Rights Council fact-finding commission to Israel and to Israeli political and military officials to conduct its investigation into all violations committed during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza; • Dismantle and freeze the expansion of settlements and outposts in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem; • Seek an end to restrictions on the freedom of movement of Palestinians in the OPT and to cease Israeli policies of land confiscation and home demolition in the West Bank, particularly in and around East Jerusalem; • Ensure that practices amounting to the torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees by General Security Service (GSS or Shabak) interrogators immediately cease in accordance with the newly released concluding observations of May 2009 of the UN Committee Against Torture; • Put an end to arbitrary detentions and especially to administrative detention, and detention under the unlawful combatants’ law, which severely violate the due process rights of detainees; • Promote and respect the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, as well as their rights to equitable and fair land allocation, land planning and housing; • Not support the racist and discriminatory laws recently proposed by the Knesset; • Resume its stalled human rights dialogue with the EU and to set up as soon as possible a full fledged EU-Israel human rights subcommittee.

Defence industry dominates EU’s security research programmewww.tni.org/pressrelease/defence-industry-dominates-esrp

The NeoConOpticon report, released today by the Transnational Institute (TNI) and Statewatch, reveals the extent to which Europe’s largest defence and IT contractors are benefiting from a €1.4 billion EU “security research” programme that has the explicit aim of fostering a European Homeland Security industry to compete globally with the USA in a fast growing market.The report also reveals the extent of Israel’s participation in the EU security research programme The report also reveals the extent of Israel’s participation in the EU security research programme, which is controversial in the light of widespread criticism of Israel's human rights record. Israeli actors or entities are participating in 10 of the first 46 projects, leading four of them. The Counter Terrorism Bureau of Israel’s National Security Council, the Israeli Defence Force and the Israeli emergency services are among the security experts selected to advise the working groups of the European Security Research and Innovation Forum (ESRIF)http://www.statewatch.org/analyses/neoconopticon-report.pdf

Israel to send first warship to NATO naval force Ship to join Active Endeavor force, aimed at curbing terrorism in Mediterranean. Dispatch marks upgrade in Israel-NATO ties  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3808214,00.html

Israeli and NATO officials say Israel will dispatch a warship to join a NATO naval force, marking an upgrade in ties.  An Israeli missile ship will join NATO's "Active Endeavor" naval force, aimed at curbing terrorism in the Mediterranean.  Israeli defense officials say Israel already has a liaison officer with the naval force.  They say the dispatch of the ship within months marks an important step up in Israel's relationship with the NATO alliance.  The move was discussed this week by Israel's military chief of staff and NATO's visiting military commander, Giampaolo Di Paola.  In Brussels, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said Friday the alliance separates such activities from "political events in the Middle East."

There it is , proof of EU's collaboration with israel and the Proof of NATO's Colloboration with Israel.

The Israeli Lobby appeals before the US Congres to stop the Ergenekon trial in Turkeyhttp://www.voltairenet.org/article163027.html

It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that on 18 November 2009 a seminar was held at the U.S. Congress to deny the existence of Ergenekon, putting it down as a myth invented by the Erdogan Government to discredit Army Chief of Staff, General Mehmet Yaşar Büyükanıt, and the U.S.-friendly officers in his entourage, in the hope of imposing an Islamic state.The participants stressed that the United States should intervene urgently to stop the trial, but should not do so openly since it would feed into the "conspiracy theories" purporting that NATO has set up a "Deep State" in Turkey which has manipulated or attempted to manipulate public institutions for decades.The seminar was organised by the ARI Foundation, a low-profile think-tank bent on promoting relations between Washington and Ankara. Actually, ARI is a front for the Western alliance-Israeli lobby. In accordance with Robert Strausz-Hupé’s policies, ARI is promoting a Tel-Aviv-Ankara axis under NATO auspices for the control of the Middle East.
