apartheid israel...

for those of us who still believe that Israel is the peace loving democracy in the Middle East.. Israel is NOT a democracy.. it's an Apartheid system just like that of South Africa from 1948-1990..

"..if we face a South African style struggle for equal voting rights (for Palestinians in the territories) then, as soon as that happens, the state of Israel would be finished."

- Ehud Olmert
Prime Minister of Israel, 2006-2009

Israel is NOT a Democracy..

Contrary to the myth sold by the West promoting Israel as the "only democracy in the Middle East", Israel is an Apartheid state heavily relying on the systematic denial and removal of the most basic human rights of the Arab population in order to suppress their political aspirations and to maintain the demographic advantage over them..



Just like Nelson Mandela, who topped Wests' lists of terrorists for his role in the fight for freedom from South Africa's Apartheid system of 1948-1990, the Palestinian Resistance is considered terrorists across the globe..

..at us$5,300,000 the ugly black thing is perhaps the hallmark of our past governments' policy of concentrating all vital services on the tiny island capital...



construction of this 68 million rufiyaa 12-storey extention to the IGM Hospital began as recent as September or 2007... and boasts 4 floors of VIP rooms at a time when strong calls were made for providing the most critical services such as basic health care to all islands..

..the building remains incomplete, to this day...

buy a yatch and help maldives...

buy this yatch at the International Boat Show and Help Maldives recover at least a fraction of the millions wastefully spent over 30 years with absolutely NO degree of accountability... this yatch was custom built for the former President of Maldives ata staggering cost of $11 MILLION...



...also follow the debate over the move by this goverment to sell this expensive piece of useless junk on Haveeru Online...

Email from President Nasheed to the Global Work Party 101010

Dear friends,

As President of one of the world's most climate vulnerable countries, I want to thank you for your tireless work and offer my wholehearted support for the Global Work Party on 10/10/10.

I shall be working hard in support of 10/10/10, up on my roof installing solar panels donated by Sungevity. But my event is just one of dozens of activities planned in the Maldives and thousands worldwide in support of this campaign.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to continue working to ensure that the planet meets the sustainable goal of returning CO2 concentrations to 350ppm.

For the Maldives, 350 is more than just a number: it is a passport to survival for our entire nation.

With best wishes,

President Mohamed Nasheed
President of the Maldives
