Bolivia has declared Israel to be a “terrorist state” and renounced a
visa exemption agreement with the country in protest over the ongoing
Israeli military offense in Gaza which already killed more than 1,300
dead and left over 7,000 wounded.
LIVE UPDATES: Israel launches ground incursion in
Gaza Strip
Canceling the 1972
agreement which allowed Israelis to travel freely to Bolivia
“means, in other words, we are declaring (Israel) a terrorist
state,” the country's President Evo Morales
announced.
Morales explained that Operation Protective edge clearly shows
that “Israel is not a guarantor of the principles of respect
for life and the elementary precepts of rights that govern the
peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international
community.”
The announcement came after a cabinet meeting of the government
of Evo Morales which decided that; “The Bolivian state and people
have made a firm decision to terminate the agreement on visas to
Israel, from August 17, 1972, signed under a regime of
dictatorship in Bolivia and that allowed Israeli citizens to
enter Bolivia freely without even entry visa."
Earlier in July, Morales filed a request with the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights to prosecute Israel for “crimes
against humanity.”
Other Latin American countries including Chile and El Salvador
recalled their ambassadors in Israel on Tuesday for consultations
due to the increased violence in the Gaza Strip against
civilians. The move follows similar actions by Ecuador, Brazil
and Peru who have also recalled their ambassadors.
Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with Israel in 2009 over a
previous military operation in Gaza.
Just on Wednesday morning shelling of a UN School in Gaza, left at least 20 dead. The incident
has brought worldwide condemnation.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned a
deadly attack by Israel against a UN school in the besieged Gaza
Strip.
"It is outrageous. It is unjustifiable. And it demands
accountability and justice," said the UN chief in Costa Rica
on Wednesday.
The IDF military campaign which began July 8, so far has left
more than 1,300 dead and over 7,000 wounded.
Washington Murders Countries, the US Constitution, and the Presstitute Media Makes Americans Complicit — Paul Craig Roberts

Washington Murders Countries, the US Constitution, and the Presstitute Media Makes Americans Complicit
Paul Craig Roberts
Having Murdered Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and the US Constitution, Washington is now Murdering Ukraine.
Thanks to Op-Ed News contributor Eric Zuesse, I can bring to your
attention these photographs (URL below) of what the Nazi Government in
Washington is doing to Ukrainians who protest the Washington Nazis’
theft of their country. On this Fourth of July Americans need to ask
themselves just how much horror, how much evil, and how many lies they
can accept from a government in Washington that has established itself
independently of any input from citizens to which government in the US
is allegedly accountable. Before you wrap yourself in the flag this
July 4th, realize that “your” government under Clinton, Bush, and Obama
has destroyed in your name, in whole or part, eight countries,
murdering, maiming, and displacing millions of civilians, and now is at
work on Ukraine. These massive crimes against humanity rival Hitler’s
and have been completely covered up by the presstitute American media, a
collection of whores who lie for money. How can you be a human when you
sit in front of CNN, Fox News or read the New York Times and submit to
the brainwashing? Think about how you are propagandized, lied to,
disinformed, and led into accepting “your” government’s murder of
millions of peoples. Consider, isn’t it treason for Washington to so
dishonor the flag that we love? Why do we tolerate it? What is wrong
with us? Our duty is to the Constitution, not to the criminals in
Washington. A patriot is a person who defends the Constitution against
enemies “foreign and domestic.” While we sat sucking our
thumbs, shaking in our boots in fear of nonexistent “terrorists,” our
Constitution was murdered by Washington.
Turn your backs and walk away from the militarist poison that will be
spewed in July 4th speeches. Do you really want to support the
Washington Nazis in their campaign to become known as the worst mass
murderers in world history? Is mass murder to be America’s legacy to the
world?
Here are the photos of Washington’s ruin of Ukraine: http://matveychev-oleg.livejournal.com/1224806.html
The evil demons in Washington and Washington’s whore media tell you
that these devastated people are “terrorists.” If you believe that, you
are not human.
Here is Erik Zuesse’s article about the Washington sponsored murders:

Read it and be so ashamed. Everything American has been totally
dishonored by “our” government, which has become the epitome of total
evil.
‘Bombardment never stops’: E. Ukrainian refugees share horrors of Kiev military op

Kiev does not care about civilians in eastern Ukraine, and people
have to flee their homes amid daily bombings, Ukrainian refugees told RT
at a temporary camp in Russia’s Rostov. It comes amid Kiev’s “lies”
about humanitarian corridors, they said.
Thousands of eastern Ukrainians are flowing into Russia amid the
ongoing Kiev military operation, in which the cities occupied by
anti-government activists are being shelled and bombarded with heavy artillery and incendiary bombs. Even in large regional
centers like Lugansk, people no longer feel safe, as cases of
Ukrainian jets launching missiles at central city buildings in broad
daylight have been reported.
While many men and elderly people of eastern Ukraine are
unwilling to leave their native land, women with children are
flocking to Russia’s cities and regions to stay with relatives or
friends. Those who have neither are heading for refugee camps in
Rostov.
“According to the Federal Migration Service, more than 40,000
Ukrainian citizens have crossed into Rostov Region. As of today,
about 4,000 Ukrainians have been housed in temporary
accommodation centers,” a local Russian Emergencies Ministry
official, Aleksandr Naumov, told RT.
Reporting from the Russian-Ukrainian border, RT’s Paul Scott
interviewed several women, who said they left their husbands and
relatives behind to get the children away from shooting, bombing,
and air raids.
“We left because we are scared. The streets are empty – we
are afraid to let our children go outside. They too got scared
and nervous with the constant sound of gunfire and jets,” a
woman said.
Another female refugee, who fled the embattled city of Slavyansk
with two small children, shared the story of their desperate
escape.
“First we fled to Nikolayevka when the bombardment got
intense. They then started bombing Nikolayevka too and we fled to
Artyomovsk. In Artyomovsk, almost every night there were
shootings, explosions, we heard how Grad [multiple rocket
launchers] were fired at some places nearby...I can’t bear those
sounds anymore,” the woman said while crying.
People from other regions of eastern Ukraine “are in fact
fleeing because they know the story of Slavyansk,” another
woman, who crossed to Russia with her two sons and cats, told RT.
“The [Ukrainian] National Guard is simply bombarding the people,
killing children. We fear for our children above all, we want
them to be alive and well,” she explained.
One of her sons has been having nightmares because he heard a
shooting close by at night, the woman said.
According to the woman, her Ukrainian-speaking neighbors do not
understand her family and support Kiev’s military operation.
Moreover, the Ukrainian authorities and media are outright
“lying” about civilian corridors being organized for
refugees, she said.
“It is scary in this situation that the Ukrainian authorities,
the Ukrainian media are lying about humanitarian corridors being
organized – there is no such thing in reality. They are not
letting the people leave, and the bombardments never stop. They
don’t give a damn about us, the people of Donbas, Lugansk, they
just need the territory,” the woman said.
Watch RT’s Paul Scott talking with eastern Ukrainian
refugees
OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier on Thursday visited
Rostov to meet with eastern Ukrainian refugees and hear their
accounts of Kiev’s military operation – a move which was welcomed
by Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that
talking to witnesses about the events in eastern Ukraine is
crucial for anyone wishing to get a “full, clear and
impartial picture” of what is happening there.
However, Zannier outraged the refugees after saying that newly
elected Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko “wants
prosperity for Ukraine and is ready to use every effort for
that.” The witnesses of Kiev’s military operation responded
by shouting: “No! This is not our president, we did not elect
him,” RIA Novosti reported.
Meanwhile, ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich on Friday
recorded a video address, in which he urged Kiev to stop the
military operation.
Yanukovich, who was born in Donetsk Region, said people there are
“shocked that instead of peace and stability [they got] a
bloody massacre” right at the start of Poroshenko’s term.
“It is unbearable to see those deaths, this hatred incited in
the not-so-long-ago peaceful country,” the ousted Ukrainian
leader said. Yanukovich wondered why European leaders kept
reminding him of the “unacceptability” of the use of
force against civilians in the wake of mayhem in Kiev, but are
now supporting the use of heavy artillery and jets against the
population of eastern Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Minister on Friday held a phone conversation
with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrey Deshchitsa, in which he
reminded Kiev of its responsibility for handling the humanitarian
situation in eastern Ukraine.
“Lavrov particularly stressed the importance of providing
humanitarian aid to the residents of southeastern Ukraine, the
creation of appropriate conditions for a safe passage of refugees
to the territory of the Russian Federation,” the Russian
Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
