Israeli troops force two Palestinian TV stations to close

05 Mar 2012

Israeli troops have stormed two Palestinian TV stations, seizing equipment and forcing them to close. In the early hours of 29 February, members of Israel Defence Forces (IDF) raided Al-Wattan and Al-Quds Educational TV in the West Bank, territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority. During the raid on Al-Wattan, four members of staff were held for several hours, whilst 21 computers and live broadcasting equipment were taken, along with administrative files and official documents. Broadcasting equipment was also seized from Al-Quds Educational TV. The IDF said the raids were carried out because the “pirate” TV stations were broadcasting without a licence.

    My name is Caprice.
    I am a 68 year old Decorated and Disabled Viet Nam Veteran, with TWO HONORABLE DISCHARGES from the U.S. Army. I am rated by the VA as being 100% Service-Connected, PSYCHIATRICALLY Disabled.
    On the morning of October 16th, 2012 I was UNLAWFULLY EVICTED from my two bedroom apartment in The Bronx, NY – by the NYC City Marshall. I have all of the necessary documents to verify that, not only was my eviction unlawful, but EVERY eviction from this building in the past 16 ½ years, has also been done UNLAWFULLY!
    The NY City Housing Court, Index No. B33280/11, has not listened to me; and the NY State Supreme Court, Index No. 309725/2011, is not listening to me.
    I mean like. I’m a German! I feel like there’s something Fundamentally Wrong and Disconcerting with ME allowing a Jew to push me around —- UNLAWFULLY !!!
    Will YOU please listen to me?
    Will YOU please help me?
    Please call me on my cell: (347) 530-4025.
    THANK YOU !!!
    Right now, me and my Pit Bull are living out of my car; I have no place else to go; and being 100% PSYCHIATRICALLY DISABLED doesn’t help at all.
