25 Rezaq Faraj 1943-2009

  

Doting suburban father. Immigrant success story. If he were content with blending in, Rezeq Faraj could be a poster boy for the Canadian dream. But, of course, blending in is precisely what he’s not about. He stands out because he speaks out – bearing witness to unwelcome facts, like his ploughed-over birthplace and the ethnic cleansing which triggered his life’s involuntary odyssey. “I refuse to vanish or disappear. I want to see justice done, not only for my fellow villagers and I who survived, but for all the Palestinian people who suffered from injustice and are still suffering under occupation and in refugee camps. Having had no real childhood, having had to struggle every day to achieve a decent existence for me and my family, havi ng seen all the injustices around me everywhere I’ve been -  all of this has made me a militant, an activist for justice, peace and human rights anywhere and everywhere.”

  

 ”I think most North Americans really don’t know about the Palestinian plight. They are busy trying to survive in this world of consumers, trying to make their lives comfortable. Most people really don’t know, and they don’t go out of their way to become informed. If they know anything about the situation, it consists of falsehoods that have been served up by their governments and the media.”

  

In Rezeq’s view, the variety of viewpoints and strategic approaches among supporters of Palestinian human rights is a plus. “As long as the various aims and objectives support the just cause of the Palestinian people, diversity contributes to the strength of the movement. The difference in approaches and planning of political actions in North America can seem to complicate things, but diversity is essential because it ultimately contributes to strengthen the solidarity movement.

 

“Having suffered from violence, I became a non-violent person. I know what it is and do not wish it for anyone, even my worst enemy. I refuse and will never accept violence. But I also refuse to accept injustice being done to anyone.” 

 

“The Palestinian people’s refusal to vanish or die will eventually overcome the odds and win, like all other people in the past who have struggled for peace with justice and against foreign domination. This might not come to pass during my lifetime, but it will eventually come to life someday. The media won’t be able to keep the truth hidden forever. Average people who know the facts are already speaking out. That day I will rest in peace – whether alive or dead – and not before.”

In the early morning hours on Monday, Israeli military forces wearing
combat paint and masks invaded the West Bank village of Bil’in.

Israeli soldiers raided several homes, arresting two Palestinian
children and five Palestinians adults including Mohammad Khatib from the
Bil’in Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements.

In June 2009 Mohammed Khatib traveled to Canada to testify in a historic
lawsuit launched by Bil’in village against two Quebec-based companies, both involved in constructing illegal Israeli-only settlements on the lands of the
Palestinian village of Bil’in.

Palestinian activist Mohammed Khatib also spoke to Canada’s major media
outlets and publicly in eleven Canadian cities with Emily Schaeffer, an
Israeli lawyer representing the village of Bil’in, connecting with
hundreds of people across Canada.

- Haiti lawmakers OK minimum wage hike after clashes

 

(AP) – August 4, 2009
 
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Lawmakers voted to more than double Haiti’s minimum wage Tuesday night after long hours of debate and clashes between police and protesters

 

- Does this concession to the people of Haiti represent acknowledgement that the reasons behind coup and kidnapping of President Aristide by Canadian, American and French forces in 2004 was morally unbalanced and now proving to be technically and econonically inadequate as well?

 

- Is this a victory for the people of Haiti or a smokescreen put up by a foriegn-controlled gov’t to ensure profit margins based on essentially the slave labour of the Haitian people?

 

- Do you see any similarities behind Canada’s total hands-on participation in the upsetting of Haitian Democracy in 2004 and Canada’s current refusal to enforce any sanctions against the current regime in Honduras that carried out the exact same coup operation in Honduras this summer?

Greg Palast: Proof of Illegal GOP “Caging Lists” in 2004 U.S. Presidential Elections

In the face of disturbing questions about Gonzalez’s competence to head the Justice Department and honesty during congressional testimony, President Bush has maintained his support for the embattled attorney general. New questions about the firings arose after testimony by Monica Goodling, an assistant to Alberto Gonzalez when she spoke about the involvement of Arkansas U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin in an illegal scheme to challenge African American voters during the 2004 election, known as “voter caging.”

Between The Lines’ Scott Harris spoke with Greg Palast, about the confidential emails he obtained from the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign outlining the GOP voter challenge program, and the evidence of a larger scandal that prompted Griffin to resign.

Canada’s Role in Supplying Lab Animals for Testing

Canada’s role in supplying specially-bred animals for laboratory testing both in Canada and abroad remains a tightly-knit secret. Recently, an article in The Gazette appeared and exposed how passengers on a flight to Paris became aware of a shipment of beagles on their Air Canada jet when they heard the dogs screaming from the belly of the plane. Canada does laboratory testing on up to 2 million animals each year. It also supplies an unspecified amount of animals to Europe for this same purpose.

“We were shocked to hear some flight attendants say this goes on regularly – dogs get shipped to Paris for experiments.” Because Quebec’s animal protection law is vague and weakly enforced, the province provides a steady source of dogs for laboratories both here and abroad, animal rights activists said.

Liz White, a Director at the Animal Alliance of Canada, joined Joe Broadhurst of CKUT Radio in Montreal to discuss some of the issues surrounding this practice and the efforts of animal activist groups to learn the truth. (11:30)

Menu Foods Harassed Pet Owners

Court: Menu Foods harassed pet owners

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY

 

The pet food company that recalled 60 million cans of contaminated dog and cat food repeatedly made harassing phone calls to pet owners who had lawyers and said they didn’t want to talk, even after a judge ordered the firm to leave them alone, court records show.

Lawyers from six firms representing clients who claim their pets were harmed by Menu’s pet food asked a federal judge in New Jersey Wednesday to stop Menu from “bullying” people who had called the company since the recall was announced March 16, according to their court filing.

U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman in Camden, N.J., agreed with the plaintiffs, describing the calls as “aggressive,” according to a transcript of the hearing obtained by USA TODAY.

“It’s one thing for two people to sit down at the table and voluntarily agree to settle their case. It’s another thing to harass people on weekends through automated phone calls,” Hillman said to Edward Ruff of Pretzel & Stouffer, Menu’s lawyer.

Hillman ordered Menu Foods to have no contact with anyone who believes their animal was injured by its product unless a lawyer representing them is involved.

Ontario, Canada-based Menu Foods has hired Crawford & Co., an insurance adjustor in Atlanta, to contact pet owners who called the company to report animal illnesses or deaths, according to the hearing transcript.

At a previous hearing on Friday, May 18, the judge had cautioned Menu and Crawford that they should not contact people who had joined one of the lawsuits against the company. Legally, Menu cannot contact those plaintiffs directly but must go through their lawyers.

But in affidavits presented in court Wednesday, pet owners said they received calls that weekend from Crawford representatives who pressed them to answer questions even after being told the owners had hired lawyers. In some cases, the pet owners also received multiple calls from Crawford’s computerized phone banks after telling representatives they were represented by attorneys, according to the affidavits.

“Menu’s representatives asked owners to sign releases which waived their right to get advice from a lawyer,” said attorney Jay Edelson in an interview.

His Chicago-based firm Blim & Edelson represents more than 600 pet owners.

“It appears that the company was engaging in a cynical strategy, designed to settle some of the strongest claims cheaply and induce pet owners to give up information it might be able to use to defend against others,” Blim & Edelson said in a letter Friday that was sent to clients and posted on Internet blogs for pet owners.
