Honduras: Zelaya could not land, coup turns bloody


A huge multitude was waiting for the return of Honduran President Gabriel Zelaya at the international airport of Tegucigalpa. The military nevertheless made impossible for his plane to land in spite that he ordered them the opposite as supreme commander of the armed forces.


A large multitude awaited in vain to their President

While the military-backed de facto government was still yesterday claiming that not a single person has died in the coup, it seems it is not actually the case and informations are already arriving of deaths at the hands of the soldiers and disappeared people.

Al Jazeera reports of a 10 years old boy killed by the troops in the protests that surrounded the failed attempt of Zelaya to return. Gara mentions, quoting human rights groups, hundreds arrested, scores missing and at least five deaths.


The military is using violence against the protesters

Zelaya, who flew from Washington D.C., seems to have finally landed in neighbouring Nicaragua and has vowed to try to return again on Monday or Thursday.

Gilad Atzmon's attack on Judeo-Marxism and Israeli anti-Zionist Moshe Machover

Antisemitic Atzmon says -
From an Islamic perspective there is no distinction between Isalm and Islamism

Because Islamists say this is true of all Muslims and Islam then it must be true. No futher proof is required.

This Atzmon statement is also true from an Islamophobic perspective as well.

Leaving aside the fact that religion can be used for good or ill, there is nothing racist islamophobes would love better than this statement to be true of all Muslims and of the effects of their religion.

In the same way, Atzmon also says this of all Jewish people, that because zionist's claim all Jewish people are inherently zionist then this must be true because it is Jews who make this claim of other Jews. No further proof required.

All the best

I love the Basque Country and have been there a few times.

Guess you have arrived here from the discussion at Palestine Think Tank, right?

Yah, good point. I had not thought about that.

Atzmon seems rather confused to me. But well... better discuss that at the point of origin and not here. where it's anyhow off topic.

Thanks for the link anyhow. And thanks for visiting.
