Today on the international solidarity day of the Palestinian people, we from Ship to Gaza Sweden want to show our Solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian people, and urge the Swedish government, with Foreign Minister Ann Linde, to live up to Palestine's recognition and demand that the blockade of Gaza is lifted and defended the Palestinian people's right to a dignified life in freedom.
His ambitions are limited to the simple recognition of a truth that now seems to find a way. He does it out of fidelity, respect and admiration for Pablo Neruda, despite his regrets.
Manuel Araya was just 14 years old when he met the Nobel Prize for Literature. He never imagined that as an adult he would accompany him in the last stretch of Neruda's life. But he doesn't beat around the bush: he was assassinated by the Pinochet dictatorship.
We have come together to serve as common threads for various plots that will address secrets and poetry from Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto (Pablo Neruda).
Araya and the NGO Antología Popular 1972-Patrimonio de Chile, from the port city of San Antonio, will be sources of inestimable value for unraveling episodes - some unpublished - of one of the greatest poets of Latin America in history.
As international rejection grows due to the eventual annexation of 30% of the West Bank by the State of Israel, through resolutions of different governments in the world and of different civil society organizations, condemning the deepening of a colonial policy of settlements in Palestine, it is striking that the Chilean Senate has also joined, considering the total contempt that the Chilean State has historically had with the Mapuche people.
A total contempt of the State of Chile towards different indigenous peoples, among them the Mapuche, evidenced by the absence of any type of constitutional recognition of their existence. In other words, in concrete terms, it makes us a deeply institutionally racist country, which should leave us very badly off in the face of the so-called international community, like Israel.

In the course of an encounter with the readers, someone from the audience asks me to compare Allende's figure with that of Che Guevara and say which one was right.
The question contains the opinion that only one of them could be right, and the public waits for me to choose between the paths chosen by Ernesto Guevara and Salvador Allende.
At a certain moment in his life, Guevara leaves the minister's office and his work table to leave for Bolivia, where he organizes a guerrilla detachment. He dies being the commander of that detachment.
Allende, on the contrary, dies defending his work table, his office as president, from which they would only take him out - as he had always said - in a wooden suit.
To 45 years of the death of the poet, the investigation that tries to clarify its death, still has several loose ends. The main obstacle to advance in the investigations would be a debt that the Chilean State would maintain with two international laboratories.

Kanye West, the legendary rap artist, provoked controversy this week when he said in an interview with the celebrity news website TMZ: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years. … That sounds like a choice.” West was immediately challenged by a TMZ producer, Van Lathan, who said: “While you are making music and being an artist … the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives. We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from the 400 years of slavery that you said, for our people, was a choice.” Another rebuttal followed later on TMZ, from prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, who advised West, “You need some time to reflect and learn more before you start making public statements.”
Ahed Tamimi, una joven palestina de 16 años, fue arrestada recientemente en una redada nocturna en su casa. Las autoridades israelíes la acusan de "agredir" a un soldado israelí y a un oficial. Un día antes se había enfrentado a los soldados israelíes que habían entrado en el patio trasero de su familia. El incidente ocurrió poco después de que un soldado disparó a su primo de 14 años en la cabeza con una bala de goma y disparó botes de gas lacrimógeno directamente en su casa, rompiendo ventanas.
The USA’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson’s promoting of USA’s Monroe Doctrine from 1823 is the latest example of the desperation of this world power in decline. The US Government officially praises open competition in the world market. But before Tillerson’s recent visit to Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Jamaica, he stressed that the two century old Monroe Doctrine ”is as relevant today as it was the day it was written”. The Monroe Doctrine declared that Latin America is the ”back yard” of the USA and that the European powers of those times should keep out. Now it is China and Russia who have much business in Latin America, who are targeted by Tillerson.

Santiago de Chile, Feb 6 (Prensa Latina) The certainty that, as everything seems to indicate, the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was assassinated, now depends on a financial wrong that hinders the delivery of the forensic conclusions to the judge in charge of the case.
This was stated exclusively with Prensa Latina, Manuel Araya Osorio, former driver and personal assistant of Neruda, who explained that the Government of Chile owes international specialized laboratories about 59 thousand dollars
The Week Against Israeli Apartheid (SAI) will be held around the world between March 1 and April 17, 2018. #IsraeliApartheidWeek
The Week Against Israeli Apartheid is an international series of events that seeks to raise awareness about Israel's apartheid system against the Palestinian people and generate support for the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS)
A report published earlier this year by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) shows, without a doubt, that Israel has imposed a system of apartheid on the entire Palestinian people and calls for the implementation of the measures of the BDS to end Israel's apartheid regime.

We, the undersigned civil society groups committed to universal human rights, sustainable development, freedom of movement, and ethical tourism are alarmed to see world class cycling event Giro d’Italia aiding Israel in its violations of international law and Palestinians’ human rights.
Holding the “Big Start” of the 2018 race in Israel will not only cover up Israel’s military occupation and racist policies against Palestinians, it will also exacerbate Israel’s sense of impunity and encourage it to continue denying the Palestinian people their UN-stipulated rights.
Starting the race in Jerusalem will help cement Israel’s unlawful claim of sovereignty over the city. Since it occupied and illegally annexed East Jerusalem over 50 years ago, Israel has worked tirelessly to expand and consolidate its illegal Jewish-only settlements in and around the city.

Die vier Tode des Pablo Neruda – Chilenischer Staat schloss sich Mordklage an.
Veröffentlicht in: Erosion der Demokratie, Kultur und Kulturpolitik, Länderberichte
Am 20. Oktober 2017 wird in Chile – hoffentlich aufschlussreich und endgültig – geklärt, wie Pablo Neruda, der Nobelpreisträger, linke Chilene und Freund von Präsident Allende, zu Tode gekommen ist – an einer Krankheit gestorben oder von Pinochets Militär ermordet. Am 20. Oktober legen Forensiker ihren Schlussbericht vor. Im Anschluss dürfte der zuständige Richter Carroza ein mit Spannung erwartetes, historisches Urteil sprechen. Unser südamerikanischer Korrespondent Frederico Füllgraf berichtet darüber. Lesenswert. Es täte der demokratischen Weltöffentlichkeit und der deutschen Öffentlichkeit gut, wenn andere Medien sich dieses Themas wenigstens noch einmal annähmen. Albrecht Müller.
"Please, no more pictures," Matilde asked. Flashes flashed insistently over the poet's lifeless body, flashing a flashing light in the dark corridor of the Santa Maria Clinic. It was the morning of September 24, 1973. The night before, after ten o'clock, Neruda had died pronouncing-in a startling delirium-his last words: "They are being shot, they are being shot!"
The photographers paid no heed to the widow's desire, and they persisted in the flashing of their cameras. Beside the press, a dozen personal friends crowded around Matilde. The body was placed in a gray coffin that arrived shortly after. Francisco Coloane finished buttoning his shirt, closed the coffin and the procession headed towards La Chascona, on the slope of San Cristóbal hill
Walk through the hills of San Antonio in a taxi. Sometimes it must pass outside the Green Texas Regiment, where the genocidal Manuel Contreras operated, during the early dictatorial times, and the distance that separates it from Isla Negra is almost imperceptible, because his memory is still there.
Manuel Araya, the dictatorship and his office of driver has marked him for life. From the age of fourteen he was a member of the Communist Youth, he said, he had a very close relationship with Julieta Campusano, who became Senator and member of the Central Committee of the PC. In 1971 he was appointed security manager for Pablo Neruda, who in practice became a personal assistant, including being a chauffeur.

Venezuela has, as many countries in Latin America, been under pressure from right wing forces and USA for a long time. The struggle for independence and freedom for the people have been ongoing for a long time. With Chavez as president the people of Venezuela got a new chance to break free from this pressure. This is an ongoing process under the president Maduro.
However, during the past years the pressure has been harder. The sabotage of the Venezuelan society and the changes necessary to provide for real freedom and prosperity for the people, led by the economic elite and backed by USA, has increased. That means that the people of Venezuela is facing a bigger threat than before.
The United States decided to push Venezuela to its political, social, cultural, communicational, armed limits.
The problem of the Venezuelan right is to have proposed an objective without the correlation of necessary forces. Although in reality the decision was not national but American, where the strategic and operational level of the current actions resides. Lack of correlation because, to put it briefly, a government is not taken by force if the weight of the popular classes or the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) is not held. And today, ninety days after this cycle began, they still have neither of those two variables.
It does not mean that they have abandoned their policy towards these two dimensions. In the case of the popular classes, already convinced that they can not add to their political call to remove the government, have decided to hit them even more with economic suffocation. This picture explains the actions such as the burning of a food store - 60 tons burned - that went to the popular neighborhoods, attacking trucks carrying government food, rising prices. They seek to sharpen the material conditions that open the doors to looting that they themselves - with their shock groups - organize.
Following the script guided by the experts and strategists of the CIA specialized in destabilizing and demolishing governments, in Venezuela the counterrevolution produced a "leap of quality": of the warming of the street, initial phase of the process, went to an undeclared civil war As such but unleashed with unusual ferocity. No longer are guarimbas, occasional skirmishes or violent street riots. Attacks on schools, children's hospitals and maternities; The destruction of entire bus fleets; Looting and attacks on the security forces, with their water cannons and tear gas in the face of the ferocity of the sedition mercenaries and the lynching of a young man to the cry of "chavista and thief" are unequivocal symptoms that proclaim to the Cries that in Venezuela the conflict has escalated into a civil war that already affects several cities and regions of the country. If something was missing to take into account the unprecedented gravity of the situation and the determination of the seditious forces to consummate their designs to its final consequences, the emblematic fire of the birthplace of Commander Hugo Chávez Frías painfully put an end to any speculation about it.
Caracas, May 4, 2017.-
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa thanked Cuba for inspiration and example by visiting the tomb of Fidel Castro on his last trip to the Caribbean nation on Thursday before handing over power.
"This is my last visit as president of the Republic of Ecuador to that sister republic, compañera, the Republic of Cuba. I can only thank the Cubans, their government, for the accompaniment, for the inspiration, for the example, "he said.
“I have for a long time been working for the freedom of Palestine and visited the West Bank several times. In 2012, I was on board the Ship to Gaza vessel Estelle, from Visby to Stockholm. It was a huge privilege to participate in one part of this trip of solidarity in order to break the illegal siege of Gaza.

Network in Defense of Humanity (REDH) extends its repudiation of the Zionist genocide in Gaza and condemns the US imperialist role that feeds and supports politically, financially and militarily to Israel to the unusual inaction of the Security Council of the UN whose resolutions on the Palestinian issue are systematically violated with impunity by Washington.

Almost exactly two years ago the European Union was accused of causing an "earthquake" in Israel.
The denunciation of the "earthquake" made an anonymous official who was widely quoted in the press. The official had expressed their disagreement with the new "guidelines" of the EU, according to which the Union would not give grants to Israeli companies and institutions based in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).
