Kevin Curran thinks Jeff<\/a> ‘The Snowman’ Monson<\/a> is one of the ‘Most Intimidating Fighters of All Time’. Which may be true. One thing he certainly isn’t is a neo-Nazi, but that — in addition to being a self proclaimed anarchist, crazy, a roid boy, and insane — is how Curran describes him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police arrest Anarchists at protest outside home of Army Commander<\/a>

Israeli police attacked dozens of peace activists, members of the Anarchist movement in Israel, who were staging a protest in front of the home of Israeli Army Colonel, Aviv Reshef, in charge of Ni\u2019lin area in the West Bank on Tuesday afternoon. 25 protesters were arrested. <\/p>\n

The police claimed that the protesters clashed with policemen who arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n

The anarchists were protesting the killing of an 11-year old Palestinian child who was shot and killed by army fire last week.<\/p>\n

Reshef had, just a few days before the killing, been merely \u201creprimanded\u201d for an incident in which a soldier under his command shot and wounded a bound Palestinian youth in Bil’in village. Reshef stated in a hearing that he did not order the soldier to shoot the bound youth.<\/p>\n

The youth, who was already wounded, was shot at close range by a rubber coated bullet while he was bound and blindfolded. The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories B\u2019Tselem released video footage of the incident.<\/p>\n

The footage was filmed by a young Palestinian girl from the village. Soldiers later arrested her father as an act of revenge.<\/p>\n

During the funeral of the child on Monday, Israeli soldiers fired stun grenades, rubber coated bullets, tear gas and rounds of live ammunition at the residents. An Israeli military commander claimed that the Palestinian blocked a main road and that the army \u201cused all riot dispersal means\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s protest in Israel was carried out around 6 in the evening when nearly forty protesters arrived in front of the home of Reshef. The police arrived at the scene and ordered them to leave.<\/p>\n

Israeli police sources claimed that the protesters refused to leave and attempted to move closer to the officers\u2019 house. The police arrested nearly 25 peace activists and took them to a police station for questioning.<\/p>\n

The police force issued a statement in which it did not deny aggressive behavior carried out by the police but stated that they acted due to an order from the Attorney General which strictly bars any protests in front of homes that belong to Israeli Army officers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cInstead of creating a new way of thinking, our government used 9\/11 as an excuse for another rampage of empire!\u201d<\/p>\n

From the beginning of A People\u2019s History of American Empire<\/em>, Howard Zinn stakes out his position on war and American imperialism. Employing a cartoon illustration of himself speaking at an anti-war rally, Zinn travels back through time to demonstrate how \u201cour military has been used not for moral purposes but to expand economic, political, and military power.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
